No, because everytime they were on, I felt guilty for being so far behind in my scrapbooking.  LOL !

Re: CRAFTING/SCRAP BOOKING?

[ Edited ]

I've seen some of the HSN crafting shows, they have nice choices.

 

I also like Michaels and it's certainly more affordable.

 

@ShanusDo you make scrapbooks?

I love crafts!!  I make most of my own decorations, some from bits of this and bits of that and some from a collection of store bought items.

 

I never got into scrapbooking, though.   I think scrapbooking reached its peak a few years ago, at least in my area.  Scrapbooking stores were plenty but now are all closed.

 

I'm just more of a house/garden decorator than scrapbooker.

 

Years ago we used to have many, many posters contributing to scrapbooking threads, too.

No, I don't scrapbook, but I do make my own cards w/ watercolors and the use of card stock papers, stamps & other items like special papers I tear & use in my designs.

Maybe the Boomers, as we start becoming grandparents, will get back into scrap booking.

I liked the craft programming that QVC used to have.  I'm not into scrapbooking or card making, so I rarely watch on HSN.  QVC used to have a wide variety of things, including needlework.

 

I do watch the sewing programs when they have them on HSN.  That's how I got hooked, years ago, on my machine embroidery passion.  I hadn't sewn for years, and knew nothing about machine embroidery until I watched a presentation on HSN.  It has a rapidly growing niche in the sewing world.

@Cakers3  I fondly remember those threads and the crafting subforum.  At one time many of us had a card exchange going every month. Seems like so long ago.

@haddon9  It does seem so long ago, doesn't it.    I suspect the Q dropped the shows when scrapbooking started to fade in popularity.  There were some interesting ideas on that forum.  It's too bad.

@Shanus  Good thought.  I never did it and probably wouldn't start at this point, myself.

@Cakers3. I've been printing pics that I take w/ my phone...special times only like b'days, etc. I'm always thinking something could happen to the cloud.
