I thought Anna was so cute saying she is “so tenaciously nosy”!

Regarding the discussion about more sites offering paid content, I will say that my attitude about paying for internet content has changed substantially since I first found Paperclipping and I think Paperclipping itself deserves a lot of the credit for that. Originally I felt there was so much free content, why would I ever join a site and pay? But over time I realized that there is a lot of free… but it’s not all as content-heavy as I thought. After joining Paperclipping I am not only very happy with my membership but my attitude towards *other* online content is different. Maybe Izzy and FA can be blamed for some of my attitude shift! But, I think a lot of it is that I enjoy my Paperclipping membership so much that I can see the advantage of paying for a membership elsewhere as opposed to buying a magazine or some other tangible product. Hey, does that make Paperclipping a Hook Drug??

I wanted to follow up on Nancy’s comment about making scrapbooks for babies in the NICU etc. I had the chance to meet 3 doulas here in St. Petersburg, FL a few years ago; they provide a unique and FREE doula service for mothers giving birth to still borns and babies who are born but are not expected to live very long; they sit with babies who aren’t going to live when the mothers aren’t able to; they help the mothers through the process; and they vow to never let a baby die alone (many times mothers who give birth to babies who are not able to live are not physically and/or emotionally able to be with their newborns during their short lives). These ladies gave a talk to my women’s group and they brought lots of things for us to look at including the tiniest hand and foot prints you have ever seen, tiny little hats and clothes made especially for these babies who are many times smaller than premies, and scrapbooks made especially for these types of births and babies that they give for free to the mothers.

Here is a link to an article about of the three doulas in St. Petersburg who provide this free service – they do it as volunteers and rely on donations so it is free to the familes going through a very difficult time.

So good comment Nancy; although I do agree with Stacy about not believing in “tapped out stories.”

while i have loved PRT and the DS since their beginnings – i am never one to comment (which oddly, is a HUGE departure from my real life… perhaps because I do comment out loud while listening to the shows… finishing your sentences when someone is stuck on a word or brand name etc… weird,i know) but while getting caught up on January’s episodes I just finished listening to episode52 & just had to pop you a quick note… number one, i heard SJ say Hook Drugs too, convinced she said DRUGS – - she is such a delight & treat that I immediately concluded “ooohh thats where all that happy comes from” wink wink… but truly love her deeply (as much as you can when not ever having met someone IP) and number two is that this episode really made it clear that i REALLY missed Anna. Her quick wit & ready laugh at herself and others, one liners, etc… make her a treat to listen too and it feels liek forever since she has been part of a show.
So that’s it just a quick note of joy and appreciation for her and you all.

You wacky bunch of enablers you!

Nearly every app I have on my iPhone and iPad (that I had to get because Izzy kept singing its praises) is because of you guys and the DigiShow. Love what you are doing and LOVING Momento!

Thanks for the hard work making these shows happen!

Great show as always! LOVE the interesting titles. Stacy I’ll invest in your idea, but I’m not tech savvy either.

Thanks for the great show (as always). It’s great to hear all your guests perspective on what trends we’ll be seeing at CHA. Can’t wait to hear you all report from the show floor.

And thanks for the link to the TasteTest.etsy page. Just spent about an hour perusing those pages! Talk about a hook drug! :) Yikes! my new addiction…

(oops!) then I just read in an old Simple that she was on the staff there. The magazines were like a history book of scrappers. Just thought it would be fun to hear how your ‘famous’ guests and the regulars got their start.

Can’t wait to hear the reports from CHA. You know what would be so cool to discuss someday when you run out of topics :) (do you think that will EVER happen???). I thought of this when I was going through old Simple Scrapbooks this wkend. It would be so much fun to hear how people got started in this business. . .and how their paths led to what they are doing now. (For example, somehow I was led by someone’s blog-you know how that goes- to Tara’s photo blog. In love with her pictures. Then I see in an old simple subm

Not sure if you guys mentioned this, but I know Noell is always raving about Aperture. The new App Store, has Aperture 3 available for only $79.99. I wasn’t sure about buying it for $200, but now I’m definitely considering it. I’m not sure how long it will be discounted, but I went to the apple store today to take an iphoto class and the salesperson told me about this deal!

Just wanted to say thanks for reading and responding to my comment (on running out of stories before I run out of desire to play with product). I’ll keep playing with the process and see if I can’t figure out ways to get my stories out of my head and onto the page. Thanks, as always, for the inspiration!

Thank you for the lovely quote Sara. I think I’m going to record that in my Evernote for future use in my art journal!

Thank you, Cheryl. It means so much to me to have the support of the Roundtable audience and my other scrapbooking friends at Scrapbook Update and elsewhere. It really does make a difference.
