you can find a lot of things to do. Not only spending time on the beach or at the pool, there are days of bad weather that can be spent other ways.
Take the opportunity to visit thrift shops, bargain shops, garage sales and other places. You will find lots of stuff to use on your scrapbooking pages, things to alter or for other crafty hobbies.
I love garage sales and flea markets - I have found they often have laces, trimmings, ribbons and buttons from old ladies' treasure chests! And some nice jewelry, too. If they are broken you can take them apart and use medallions or charms or even chains for your creations. A whole bunch of silk flowers for just a few cents...
When visiting older relatives, ask them if they would like to contribute to your treasures - it might be their trash!
Soon you'll have tons of lovely embellishments for your pages - and the best of all, it's for free or just a few cents. That leaves you with more money to spend on papers, chipboards, thickers and other necessary stuff!
Summer greeting from

How true!! I especially love garage/yard sales! I find great things for scrapping AND for altering! I have found great deals on things I needed, but never thought to check at a garage sale & then to find it for only a small portion of what it was retail!
