Scrap Your Trip 20% Off National Scrapbooking Day S*A*L*E

Minutes or Moments?  This was the theme of a Hallmark card I saw in the pharmacy while I was waiting for my latest prescription (an asthma inhaler to try to calm the inflammation in my lungs – I can’t go more than two minutes without coughing, but at least I don’t have pneumonia!).  I’ve really been thinking about this ever since.   Minutes?  These are the things of work and to-do lists…laundry, dishes, groceries, paying bills, making sure the kids brush their teeth before bed.  Life is full of minutes…after all, these things have to get done, right?   But Moments?  This is where the joy of life occurs.  A moment of connection…of love…a memory made that makes that day worth all the minutes you had to put into it.   Maybe it’s a longer than usual embrace from your spouse…a moment that you realize how much they mean to you.  Maybe it’s a phone call or an email from a friend, or something funny your kids did or said, or a moment when you realize how fast they are growing up.  Maybe it’s even a moment at work, where you know you did something to help someone.   But these moments, they’re fleeting.  We think we’re always going to remember them.  But those minutes, they just keep coming and the laundry piles up and the dishes have to get put away and the moment fades away into the distant past.   This is why scrapbooking is such an incredible gift.  It allows us a way to capture those moments and record them so we don’t forget.  It can be in a 12×12 layout, or in a homemade card to someone you love.  It can be on paper or in your computer.  It can even be on a calendar.  It just needs to be something.  Otherwise, the moments of your life…the ones that made life meaningful when they occurred… are lost in the recesses of your mind.    This Saturday, May 2, is National Scrapbook Day.  How will you be celebrating?  Attending an all-day crop?  Trying to squeeze in a few pages?  Spending some time organizing your stuff?  Sharing the scrapbooking gift with a non-scrapper?  Journaling some moments you don’t want to forget?   However you choose to celebrate National Scrapbook Day, we have products to help make your memories of your moments shine.  To help you celebrate, we offering a coupon for 20% off your entire order!  Just enter coupon code NSD2009 at checkout.  The super duper Creative Imaginations sale of 50% off select products is still going on – click here to check out all the items:  www.scrapyourtrip.com/creativeimaginations50.html
