Happy National Scrapbook Day!

If you love to scrapbook, then you surely know that today (or tomorrow depending on who you get this info from - it varies) is National Scrapbook Day.

So, in honor of that, I thought I'd offer you a coupon code to use if you'd like to order a pre-made scrapbook. You can't order these off my website because they are custom, so you'll have to email me (angela@alwaysbdesigns.com), but it can save you 25%! Mention code: NSD when emailing me.

Here is a sample of what I can do:

Basically, I take your theme, colors, ideas, etc. and put together a scrapbook with slots for your photos, which you can then go in and add. That's it, I do the work, you just add the photos. These vary in price depending on what you want, how many pages, etc., but an average idea is somewhere between $50-$100.

Now, if you like to scrapbook, but know someone who doesn't or just doesn't have time, then pass on the info! :)

And, lastly, please leave a comment and let me know if you are a scrapper and/or if you are doing anything to celebrate NSD.

Thanks!

There are some Great People out There

I never thought that I'd actually enjoy Twitter. Amazingly, I now check it in my sleep. Yep, I'm addicted.

Here's why...

There are some really great people out there! I've met moms, entrepreneurs, marketing gurus, other small businesses like me, and other crafters. I've learned something from each of them, and hopefully passed along some knowledge as well.

One of the best things I've found on Twitter is called a hashtag party. I use Tweetchat to join in on the parties. (http://www.tweetchat.com/) A hashtag party is essentially a group of tweeters coming together to talk about a particular topic at a set time. It is annoying in the sense that it means my tweet ratio goes up, but at the same time, great because you meet so many new people. It's simple to join, just go to tweetchat.com, then put in the hashtag you are looking to join in on (i.e. #funmomma) and you'll see everyone else's comments related to that hashtag, plus everyone will see yours (as long as you're using the hashtag in your tweet, but tweetchat helps with that).

Some of my favorite hashtag parties I've attended so far are:
#momeochat - a group of moms and mom businesses talking about everything under the sun
#lytchat - stands for living your truth, a philosophical idea about being who you are, but better
#measurePR - a handy chat for learning how to measure your PR and SM efforts

I have a whole list of ones I want to attend still. Here's a link for a list someone out in the twitterverse posted that includes most of the chats out there (although not all).

Check it out - you might find you enjoy the Twitter chat as much as I do!
