1. KIDDS - SUMMER - HELLO!!!
Get those kidds scrapbooking this summer!
Hand them a bag with a My Crush, Duck adhesive, My Assortments, a pen, some FLIP FLAPS, colored pencils or crayons, and a small tablet for drawing.
Have a My Crush today jar full of summer ideas to do and discover:
5 things I saw in the sky, 3 sounds I heard, 10 insects I discovered, seeds I found, leaves of different colors, animals at the zoo, list of favorite dinners, flavors which should be ice cream, things I can give away, things I want to earn, etc. FUNN?
2. YOUR OFFICE!
Look at your desk, just look at it!
Do you see a post-it with a quote, an idea, or a sketch?
Unclutter your desk and fill up your My Crush!
Where else will you store your Miniature Men, girls?
Thanks to "H" for all the FUNNy cards during her Texas years.

3. EGO BOOK!
I can't be the only person who loves to hear kind words, enjoy greeting cards over and over, save scraps with encouraging notes, and the "I love you" notes from my kids.
My Crush can be your go-to my ego needs a vitamin book!
Talk about a ego boost, I got one from Fabulously Artsy Stamp Goddess herself! Tresa Black!

Delightful hand made cards and precious notes.
4. FAVORiTE RECIPES
Tried and true recipes in FLIP FLAPS are so FUNN!
Why you may want to leave your studio and go cook?
OK, I went a little extreme there.
5. YOUR BoDY
Are you a work-out kinda gal or guy?
Do you keep track of your exercise or whatever?
My Crush your walking, crunching, planking, spinning best!
Take pictures - get a new cute tennis outfit for this one!
Plus, My Crush books are the cutest way to keep your medical records in one place (questions, provider info, immunizations, medicines, etc.) Not FUNN, but important and it is important to stay cute in all important matters.
You will note there are no photos for this one.

6. BUCKET LiST
I know you are out there, you darling Bucket List people.
So where is that Bucket List of yours?
In your head? Come on! Let's get that puppy on paper, with pictures, plans, names, and record those dates!
Flesh that baby out in your MY CRUSH!
7. VaCATION RIGHT ThERE - BOOM!
OK, it is no secret, we live for our vacation time, don't we?
My Crush books are the PERFECT take along, save those memories on the spot books! The whole family can be involved with a nightly re-cap of Best and Worst of the day, tickets, brochures, menus, and photos!
Photos, really Mary?
Yes, upload your photos to the local Walgreens, CVS, or what ever is close to your hotel. Pick them up on the way back for the night.
BOOOOOOOM! Talk about FUNN!
8. WhAT'S IN YoUR WaLLET?
Preaching to the choir here. I have photos, snippets, and ephemera which has been in my aging, brittle, plastic "photo" spot for 30 years. Ridiculous! It's going in the My Crush TODAY!
9. QUOTH the RAVEN
Where do you keep those favorite quotes? Here, there, and then they get tossed in the round file, don't they?
My CRUSH is a perfect place for your favorite quotes.
Categorize if you like:
Inspirational, FUNNy, your mama always said, and more.
Here is one I wrote!

FUNN TIPP: Glue your photos to make side or top pockets.
Perfect place to add a note, another photo, or a Picture My Card for both!
10. SCrAPBOOKING MUSTS
Many of us are highly invested in scrapbooking. We have ideas to use, crops to attend, products to buy, products to use, titles to employ, memories to journal. My CRUSH can be your scrapbooking's scrapbook! OK, so it is a little Russian Doll, but it could be perfect for your needs.
A lovely way to save your FUNN ClubB and FUNN CropP happy memories. I have some photos I can email you if you need some!
Last year's wedding notes for my daughter.
11. GARDENING
Try as I may, I can't remember from one year to the next what flowers I plan to move, never try again, give away, and what was spectacular. Gardeners are often planners, too.
12. GiFTS
My Crush are PERFECT for gifts!
Add some stamped images, some mats, Duck Adhesive, FLIP FLAPS, coordinating assortments, PML cards, and a list of ideas on using these books! Perfect for newly weds, first year at college (can you imagine what Rory Gilmore would have done?), new house (or your old house - paint colors, updates, warranties, etc.), new pet owners, a record for Christmases, new jobs, newly retired people, new babies, you get the idea?
You may have to explain to Generation D that this is like pinterest on paper.
13. YoUR SPIRIT
Faith journaling is a lovely new expression of our walk.
Do you like to draw renditions of favorite Scripture?
Do you like to hand write Scripture?
Do you like to keep a gratitude list?
Do you have a "I see God's blessings," habit?
Do you love photos of sunrises, sunsets, remarkable animals, and flowers? Miracles should be remembered.
Whatever it is, get some, get the assortments, too, this month because you will get an extra $9.95 stamp set gift this June!
