Hi! Native Manhattanite here!
Where are you from in NY? The City? If so, it is not such a great place for the hobby of scrapbooking, no? I can't find a true scrapping store! I mean some have tried and have a so-so selection, but I haven't been to Michael's (I think it is Michael's) in Queens (but one day I will go
). The fact that I couldn't find paper scrapping supplies is what led me to go digital and I don't think I will ever go paper now!
You can pm (private message) me if you have any questions about digiscraping or where to find albums, paper, etc.
