Celebrate International/National Scrapbooking Day with one of your favorite AIR Stores - check out what they have going on this weekend! Even if you can't make it in, check out their online options too.

ANNOUNCEMENT!! In the past I have inadvertently skipped over posting graphics about some (well, probably many) industries and professions.

Sometimes it's because I'm not knowledgeable about a particular topic, and thus slow to create an image or speak about a certain hobby, type of retail, etc., and sometimes I'm just an idiot and forget! 🙄

HOWEVER, the Me that WANTS fervently to promote and invite interest in spending better, making more thoughtful choices, and supporting real people.....never plans to skip anyone intentionally.

With that said, SCRAPBOOKING - what I dubbed "The Art Of Preserving Memories" is one such category I've posted little about (partly because I don't know anything about it), but Saturday, May 2nd is NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY and so here we are.

NOW your turn; tell me about your independently owned, real-person-operated, amazing, delightful scrapbook supply store. Even better, tell me what you are doing to celebrate and tag a friend or local business.😃🥰 Let's do this!!
