While I’ll never be a truly prolific scrapbooker, I really love making journals with pieces of my life tucked into their pages. My only road block is that where I live there isn’t a lot of competition between supply stores, so the prices on buying embellishments and paper and supplies are kind of high. It’s ended up being great because it’s pushed me to stop using fancy paper, and to start using what I have around the house and what I can re-purpose. And (lets be real) it gives me an excuse to go crazy at Archivers when I’m in the US.

But sometimes I want pretty things. Things that just start out pretty. In my life, that’s where JBS Mercantile comes in. They offer beautiful supplies, honest to goodness vintage products, and mail order clubs where a paper craft, display, or jewelery project kit comes to your door every month!

Had I signed up earlier in the winter than I did, I might have never gone stir crazy and threatened to sell the house! Imagine! ;)
