CZ Design

Dream it, scrap it, live it

Someone should stop me. Possibly? Maybe not. I should be working. I have to pack, too. (Headed to California in the am.)  Until then, enjoy my… indulgences.

    Cathy you are too funny! I love how you don’t take yourself too seriously. The mock interviews on scrapping are really ingenious.
    Thanks for the laugh!

    SO ORIGINAL!
    This is a gift! Everyday I get something new from you, and I mean it, really new! You’re the best, and thanxs 4 the idea of scrapporn.
    You made me remember seen someone’s scrappage online sometime ago, with almost the same untouchable theme, (personal fisical atributes), if you know what I mean… It was a great page! No offensive at all, and a very good approach to the subjet.

    So, thank you Cathy for being an ORIGINAL girl, always!

    You are killing me, Cathy. LOVING these video blog entries. Its almost like a scrapping version of ‘behind the music’. You should interview Dan – that would be funny.

    I follow your blog because your writing often makes me laugh…but, girl, you are even more hilarious in ‘virtual’ life!
    Thanks…I am going to have to show this clip to my husband to show him that I am not the only woman in which scrapping has overtaken every aspect of her life! 🙂

    That is one place my scrapbooking mind has never gone, but you remind me not to cross that line. You should start your own clip on SNL, then they might be good again.

    OMG, you are cracking me up girl. I’m sure your husband will be happy that you are at least “thinking” about “that”, LOL and not scrappin it, LOL.

    Cathy, I. love. you.

    You crack me up and every time I read your blog I think about that moment in the movie “Knocked Up” when he is asking her if she knows Vince Vaughn and then he says, “I think Vince Vaughn would like to hang out with me. You know how some people say, I would like to hang out with Vince Vaughn? or I’d like to hang out with that guy…well, I think that Vince Vaughn would like to hang out with me.”

    You are my Vince Vaughn, Cathy. You are my Vince Vaughn. 🙂

    Your sense of humor never fails to crack me up. Please keep the video blogs coming!!

    p.s. I saw Dan speak at CKU. Maybe you could convince him to be a special guest, since he was funny as HELL too.

    Girl pleeeeeeze! Worried about someone objecting over “scrap porn”, thinking it’s inappropriate? No way!!! It’s YOUR blog. If they don’t want to hear about it, they don’t need to visit your blog. Simple. LOLOLOL. Thanks for the laugh.

    Cathy are you really and truly sure you’re not a Brit with an extremely authentic American accent? I have never met an American (and I know we haven’t met just feels like that sometimes) who does irony, sarcasm and flippancy. I probably sound like a patronising cow-bag but I say it because I just love those vids!

    Hi Cathy,
    I hope it is okay to post here. I bought your latest book, “The Sequel”, last week and just finished it tonight. YOU ROCK!!!!
    There is something in every chapter that I will use. I have to tell you, I have sticky tabs all over your book. I just wanted to say thank you for writing this.

    I have a question for you. On page 35 of your Sequel of Clean and Simple, you challenge us to do a page with five random facts about ourself and then e-mail it to you. The only info in the back of the book was your blog. Where am I going to find the e-mail address? This is a challenge I would like to do. I have never done any scrapbooking about myself. But, after reading your book, I see where I really should so that my kids will know more about me when they are older and have this to look back on. And, your challenge to send it on to you, I think, will motivate me.

    So, this is my project to work on after Thanksgiving.

    Thanks again,
    Tina
