I am VERY new to scrapbooking—like, I just got my very first scrapbook at the thrift store yesterday. I wanted to start so I can document my daughter's life, so I wanted to start with the first year of her life!

I have a local Michaels and a Walmart and that's it. I really want to find stickers and papers that work with pages like "Summer vibes" or "Pumpkin picking" "First bath". Kind of an old school traditional style of scrapbooking.

Where are you buying your fun stickers and papers? I would honestly prefer NOT to shop at chain stores, but now there is so much slop on the internet, I don't even know if a small business is real or dropshipping from Temu or Aliexpress.

Thanks in advance—so excited to be a part of the community! Included a photo of my new scrapbook!

I absolutely hate how ugly our curb appeal is, but I have no idea what to do to make it look better. We just got our driveway redone, and we are planning to do some landscaping this summer. Looking for some advice on what you think might look good?

We are also adding a path from the front of the porch to the driveway that will be a red brick (as you can see we started digging in one of the photos).

We also don't have a big budget at all, so this will be a lot of labor of love, looking for advice on what I can do without needing to hire any fancy landscaper.

First, please don't judge the mess, it's the evening and my toddler is a hurricane these days!

We have this very awkwardly shaped living space and struggling to design it properly.

You can see my daughter's play area in the back in one of the photos near the built-in against the wall. Well, we are getting a hutch we want to put there so we will need to restructure the whole layout. The "dining room" is cramped in a corner but we hate it near the built-in because it takes up so much space.

The living room plagues me. The tv is on one wall and directly across from it is the fireplace. I hate having the couch where it is because you watch the tv to the right. The big empty wall with the small ladder near the front door is where we will be putting a massive library and bench, and where we originally had the TV.

I don't know, none of it flows or makes sense. I want to make the space very warm and cozy, as you can see from our paint choice. We love wood and warmth. But the layout itself makes this so difficult. If we move the couch anywhere else we can't walk around it I think. And my husband suggested we put the couch in front of the tv so the fireplace is behind it but is that weird? I don't know!
