I have been TOTALLY out of the SB/card making loop for several years. Mostly due to no mojo! LOL Lots of personal life changes too. It's always been there, in the back of my mind, and I have had a little area all set up, just collecting dust! Anyway... on Saturday, I went to the LSS!! It's really not all that local, but I kidnapped my former scrapping buddy and we headed north! Holy Moly!! I had NO idea where to even start! LOL Here's were the bragging comes in... before I left my SO asked if I had money for the day. I told him I had my Christmas money(His mom is SO generous!). He handed me $50! Woohoo!!! AND... I have been trying to decide whether or not I needed (HA!) a photo printer. I really think it will save me $$ in the long run. I'll still do bulk orders online, or Walgreens of course. I mentioned that I've been thinking about it, and explained why... He bought me one!! He got online and did some research, and then ordered one for me! It's Epson Photo Maker- PM 400. I can hardly wait to PLAY with my new goodies!! I cleaned up all of my card making stuff yesterday and tonight after work I will be busting out my project box and picking up where I left off with my youngest DD's book.  Thanks for letting me share!! Most people wouldn't "get" it, but I knew you all would! LOL |

Welcome back! I get it. I'm jealous of your photo printer, too.

I'm pretty lucky!! He totally gets it when it comes to collecting supplies, etc. He is a tool junkie! His tool habit it exactly like my supply/gadget habit! LOL

That is so sweet of him! My DH gets it and doesn't care what time and money I spend, but would never do anything like that. You are a lucky lady!
Getting a PM-400 was a huge game changer for me. I got into a solid routine printing my photos during 2017 and that little printer was worth every penny. Have fun!

Welcome back! I have been having the same mojo problem but have managed to stay involved and doing a layout here and there and cards. I am finally coming out of and feeling the want to scrap rather then having to scrap.

Ooh it's like Christmas all over again! I have an amateur radio/electronics man, he lets me buy/or buys for me because there's always the next radio show he might want to spend at...  |

Welcome back to the playground, Mel! Sounds like this guy is a keeper! What did you end up buying at the LSS? |

I stuck to "safe" stuff... a few pre-made die cut things (NASCAR & IA Hawkeyes)... and printed paper for more recent events that I will get to eventually(graduation, show choir, band, American Girl, NASCAR, Hawkeyes, Cardinals).

I don’t know anything about printers. Is the pm-400 suppose to be the best photo printer? I’ve been thinking about getting one sometime this year but have no idea what to get.

Not sure that it's the "best" but he did read reviews and compared prices, etc. and he came to the decision that was the one "we" should get. lol

Why pay $6.95 for a card when you have $1000.00 of equipment and supplies?
Glad for you to be back in the game.

Welcome back to scrapping and cardmaking! You are going to love the PM-400!! I have always had a photo printer at home and I upgraded my last Epson printer to the PM-400 and it's the best one yet! I have a pack of 8.5x11 photo paper that I cut down for 5x7 prints, otherwise the photo paper/print packs are so convenient to buy. Have fun!

What an awesome thing for your husband to do! I would love to have that printer. It's one of my "someday" items.
