I am *not* a scrapbooker

So you let someone into your home, feed them some (awesome) sausage and beer and what do they do? They twitpic and twitter about your supposed secret lifestyle.

 

Next thing you know, you login to Twitter to see everyone gasping (audibly) at the idea that you're a scrapbooker when, c'mon, clearly, I am not a scrapbooker. When would I possibly have the time to scrapbook? And while, yes, I may be crafty and I might even own a few scrapbookish items, I do not actually use them in a scrapbooky way which makes me no scrapbooker. Whatsoever. 

But before I know it, I'm losing Twitter followers I admire (like all the porn bots) and gaining new ones I have nothing in common with (scrpbkrs4life!) and people are adding twibbons to their avatar to support my so-called 'cause' of scrapbooking and DAMMIT! I can't even defend myself. So here I am, having to post a rebuttal of sorts - a photograph that shows my *tiny* little "craft area" which, please notice, is LADEN with dust from non-use with no space to actually layout a page (if that's what scrapbookers even call it - I wouldn't know) which clearly makes my case.

 
*click on photo to enlarge and read my VERY IMPORTANT notes

Also? I'm inviting myself over to Queen of Spain's house and snooping through ALL her rooms until I find something I can expose to all the world about her on Twitter. OH YES. (Because this is how normal friendships work, right?)

In the meantime, I feel SO MUCH BETTER proving to all the blogosphere that I am not a scrapbooker.

ROFLMAO. That is all.

[Lady Ducayne]

I'm so jealous of your craft room/area! I don't "scrapbook" either, but I do like fancy paper and ribbons and such. People assume I scrapbook, but really...I don't have the time!

[AMomTwoBoys]

Holy shit, Megan! You're totally a scrapbooker WANNABE!

That's even worse!

[Lesley]

Everyone DOES have buttons. I mean honestly: It's hard to argue with that kind of logic. (Mine are actually attached to my clothes, but whatever. Sematics.)

[Sarcastic Mom]

It is CLEAR that you are not a scrapbooker. I mean, really, only someone who IS a scrapbooker would automatically think of scrapbooking in any situation, even ones where it's totally unwarranted.

I think Erin is the scrapbooker here.

Or something.

What the fuck, A CRICUT. You are so hosed here.

[Maura]

I think you *may* have missed the point of enlarging and notating the photo. It was supposed to actually make a case for you NOT being a scrapbooker. Which it totally didn't.

BUSTED!

(But we love you anyway.)

So am not seeing the dust on the Cricut. You are screwed.

[heather...]

I bet you decoupage, too.

[Kristi]

Ok, the Cricut is what implicates you, puts it over the top. But really? The haters are just jealous that you have an awesome spot to store your ribbon (my nemesis).

[Overflowing Brain (Katie)]

Paper, pens, stickers, buttons, cricut.

Dude, Martha Stewart is less of a scrapbooker than you.

[Ginny]

I think you either scrapbook or make super fancy, hand-made greeting cards. Which is it, Megan?! ADMIT IT! :)

[Evelyn]

well, I'll be happy to help prove you are NOT a scrapbooker, and take that cricut off your hands!

[Courtney]

WOW Thats a lot of ribbon? But a cricut? IDK!

[Felicia]

You know, acceptance is the first step. Dude that picture just makes you look guilty as hell.

[Karen Sugarpants]

At least you and Backpacking Dad have something in common. Along with being so pretty it hurts my back teeth. :)
Happy scrapbooking, Megan!

[Kate]

The only thing missing from that picture is one of those suitcase on wheels that scrapbooker use to haul all their stuff around. :)

Or is that under the desk?

[Karen Sugarpants]

I just realized you also have something in common with Edward Cullen: http://oxymoronassoc.livejournal.com/462027.html
(4th convo down)
He was totally a scrapbooker. Just like you.
:P

[Jenni/mom2nji]

Umm damn a cricut? You are screwed.
The first step is admitting you HAVE the problem. There are groups for this problem, they meet once a month...to scrapbook together. HA HA HA
We all need to chip in and get you one of those snazzy vanity plate SCRPR4LF.

[Brandi]

You so dug a bigger hole for yourself with the notes. WTF is a cricut? I must admit I am jealous of your ribbon storing shelves. But I can't wrap a present to save my life anyway, so it would be lost on me.

[Tamara in GA]

I happen to love the crafty Megan & wish that she would resurface for a bit. I too note that you cannot be a scrapper as of late because you have no room on your desk. Come back to me or send me your stuff. Its a win win!

[Julie @ Angry Julie Monday]

Ohh you are such the crafter..Well all know your secret now.

[nic @mybottlesup]

i want (awesome) sausage and beer.

[Future Blackmail]

The cricut can be totally helpful for classroom projects and posterboard science fair experiments.

It's not all about scrapbooking. I know because I watched the informercial and may or may not have drooled.

[Chibi Jeebs]

Not only are you a scrapbooker, you're the worst kind: the DENIAL scrapbooker. You dirty scrapbooker, you.

[laprimera]

Still LMAO! And looking forward to your scrapbooking workshop this Saturday night. I may never take my twibbon down! totally love you, dood!!!

[Erin]

Oh I saw the scrapebooked (as in done) pages people. I SAW THEM WITH MY OWN EYES

[Pgoodness]

Wait....you got something against scrapbookers??

=)

[Issa]

You just lost the argument with all that dam ribbon. Denial, it's not just a river in Egypt.

[Andrea's Sweet Life]

I totally would have believed you, had you NOT posted that photo. I like to make invitations and what-not, and so I use *some* s'booking materials. But that? That is a "scrapbook nook". You are SO busted.

[Andrea's Sweet Life]

Oh, and HEY! I started a new blog. I'm trying to remember to tell people about it, but, you know, whatever.
