    Do you have a Hobbycraft near you? Their prices can sometimes be quite steep (not always) but it can be a good place to go and look, find something you like and them look around for the same but cheaper.

    I know Hobbycraft among other places have had deals on Papermania scrapbooking albums (some come with papers and embellishments to get you started straight away)... http://www.hobbycraft.co.uk/productlist.asp?CatID=69&BCat=21,69&rootcatid=21&Brand=&a=resetsearch
    Same/similar albums here...
    http://www.docrafts.co.uk/asp/products/?p=729&brand=0&b2c=1

    ebay can be a good place to look for albums.

    I had a lovely scrapbook set from QVC when I did one for my best friend's 30th. Or use a photo album and buy the paper seperately.
    There's some craft shows coming up at the end of the month & next month if you're near London.

    Hi, I managed to pick you up a couple of the chocolate books today so will PM you to confirm.

    I also picked up a couple of extras, so if anyone else would like one, pm me, the book was only £1 with a bit of postage on top.

    2016 is the year I am going to find time for me, and cherish the time I spend with my friends and family.
    It is also time to save - Aim £4,000 - So far this year - £230/£4,000
