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.

    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!

    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.

    I’ll be watching for your new book “Clean & Simple” the Porn Verion.

  93. Julie says

    November 16, 2007 at 12:55 pm

    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. πŸ™‚

  94. Diane R. says

    November 16, 2007 at 1:55 pm

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

    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.

  97. katie Scott says

    November 16, 2007 at 2:03 pm

    Hey Cathy – Love the videos! PLUS you are so funny in that not trying to be funny kinda way!

  98. Em says

    November 16, 2007 at 2:46 pm

    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!

  99. melly says

    November 16, 2007 at 3:53 pm

    you seriously make me laugh. You crazy. I love me some crazy.

  104. Cherie says

    November 16, 2007 at 8:16 pm

    Oh my gosh – “Eat it, Scrap it, Live it!!” Ha Ha I knew what was coming before you said it and it made me laugh out loud!! Funny!

  105. Margie says

    November 16, 2007 at 9:42 pm

    This is my kind of humor! You are even funnier live than in black and white. You may have something there – scrapporn – I might be able to talk my husband into that hobby! Thanks for the laugh.

  110. Tina says

    November 17, 2007 at 11:05 pm

    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.

    Tina
    (Bothell)

  111. Tina says

    November 17, 2007 at 11:22 pm

    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
