Update on yesterday's road trip with my DH......I Googled scrapbook stores in Champaign and came up with four in the area.  I was so excited and much to my disappointment......
they were all closed for business.  A sure sign of "bad economic times".  Oh well, I went shopping at a nursery/home goods store, and picked up some Lavender to plant. :)
