Do you know what "Ichthyology" is?  I didn’t either, until my 3rd grade daughter, Lauren, had to study it for school this week.  It’s a branch of zoology devoted to the study of fish.  She can now identify all the parts of a fish, including parts I’ve never heard of before.  It is amazing to me the things she is learning in school.  Here’s just a few of her spelling words for the week:  celebration, fascination, legislation, manufacture, possession, declaration…these are only 6 out of the 24!  I don’t remember what spelling words I had in 3rd grade, but I’m pretty sure it was words like book, play, cat and dog.    I realize I’m showing I’m getting a little older by the whole "Well, when I was your age…" comparison, but the differences between what it was like when I was a kid and now are just mind-blowing.  Every generation goes through this, I know, and I’m sure to each generation it seems like things have changed faster.  My kids don’t know what a film camera is, they’ve never waited all week for the Wizard of Oz to come on TV and it’s never occurred to them that there was a time that you couldn’t "Google" an answer you trying to find.  It’s kind of exciting and scary at the same time to think about how different life will be 10, 20, 30 years from now!  

 

We have over 200 new items this week, including tons of travel!  We also have the Finley’s Estate Collection from Cloud 9 available in limited quantities.  Just like Dandlion Wishes last week, once an item is gone, it’s gone for good.  Fall is in the air (even here in Orlando – it’s dropped all the way down to 80 degrees!), so we’ve got a Harvest collection from Best Creations.  We have the Sports Reflections line from Scrappin’ Sports & More, along with lots and lots from Paper House.  They are one of my faves, so we went through the catalog and picked out stuff we hadn’t ordered (including the above mentioned Wizard of Oz).  We added more Just the Edge colors from Bazzill and the SYT designers have had a lot of fun this week between our die cuts and our papers.  We have crew and white water papers for those of you who requested them.  We even made a customized Disney name tag for you Disney enthusiasts out there!  Click here to see them all:  http://www.scrapyourtrip.com/whatsnew.html.

 

As always, thanks for your business!
