F&S JULY 21, 08

I should've realised by now that saying I'll 'be back later' is my personal bloggie jinx :D Mac woke up 10 mins after I posted, 2 hours earlier than his usual so I didnt manage to go through and prepare the photos to post! Hopefully next weekend when the freebies usually slow down a bit :D

Thanks Amy, Tina & breeoxd for your suggestions! No, Tina LOL I'm not going to the 'dark side' :D I just wanted some tools ready so I can make up mini accordion albums for gifts, some CD albums for myself and perhaps alter some tins for coin boxes and such. Even if I'm keen, I definitely cant afford to do it often at USD12 for a bottle of modpodge :D I dont need embellishments yet as we finally have ONE scrapbook store here but everything seems to be triple in price and very limited in items (only adhesive they have is mod podge) so I was hoping my friend could get the tools for me and I can get the decorative bits here as I need them. I'm just having problems figuring out what tools, adhesives, etc to get & which brands are good and easy to use :)

Thanks bunches too, Linda, Mel, Grammadiane, Jennilyn10 & Kim for dropping in and your comments :)
