I went into Michaels in Langley B.C. Canada today and spotted the Martha Stewart scrapbooking supplies for the first time. I could not believe it! They are awesome! I love the colors and cant wait to attempt one of the oversized scrapbooks. they are all very classy and remind me of your beautiful Christmas ornaments. I know I will  be collecting it all. Please keep new stuff coming so everyone can enjoy!
