As far as getting my better half to show up here? Not gonna happen. She already has enough online communities to participate in and scrapping holds no fascination whatsoever to her (unless I happen to find some good "free" fabric or a cool piece of furniture on the curb). I already drive her nuts with leaving tools (and bits and pieces of stuff and illegible notes scrawled to myself) all over the place.
The pendulum has finally swung to the other side in regards to the money aspect. My scrapping income (what little there is) has been officially designated as my "hobby money", which makes it *seem* like I spend less money than I do on stuff like stamps and coins and marbles and junk. And, after a couple years of making dozens of $13.56 deposits and withdrawals to and from our family bank account (which also drives mrsbugguy nuts as she keeps the family books), I have officially been given the green light for my own "thebugguy-business" account. As long as I don't make too big of a mess in the house and get my other chores done, I'm pretty much good to go.
Now my firewood business money- that's family money. not exactly sure why, but that's the agreement....
cheers,
tbg
