Welcome to the Patterned Paper Treatment Center, where we combine talent, creativity and imagination to help women battling the debilitating effects of Scrapbook Overload.
Dr. J Scrapman, the founder of
The Patterned Paper Treatment Center, recognizes that each woman brings a
different skill level to the treatment process. The Patterned Paper Treatment
Center’s goal is to create a personalized treatment program to address each
women’s unique issues.
Some of the areas we
specialize in include:
· Most
Own Everything (MOE) – the compulsive need to own everything from a
collection
· Distress
Ink Delusion (DID) – the overwhelming desire to collect every color distress ink
on the market
· Tiny
Tag Syndrome (TTS) - the obsessive need
to add hundreds of tiny tags to mini albums
·
Mini Album Madness (MAM) – the
urge to make mini albums from such obscure objects as toilet paper rolls, coffee
sleeves and paint sticks
· Coupon
Palsy (CP) – a serious disorder that causes the woman holding a 40% off coupon
to feel short of breath and shake uncontrollably
· Wandering
Washi Tape (WWT) – a new phenomenon that results in searching stores, Etsy and
eBay to satisfy a longing for new Washi Tape
Our guests reside in
beautifully decorated Shabby Chic suites featuring tea stained lace curtains,
paper roses from Prima Marketing and white Jetmax cube furniture. Daily group
therapy meetings will be taught by the staff, who are all graduates of Michael’s
4-part scrapbook course.
The Patterned Paper Treatment
Center currently treats adult women of all ages from 18 to 70+. But, as these diseases appear to be spreading
to the male population, we have plans in the near future to expand the program
to include men.
We firmly believe that
treatment should embrace not only the woman, but her family as well. We hold
weekly family meetings at our LSS in their Crop Room, located just a few blocks
from our luxurious campus.
We happily give tours of the facilities and would love to have you visit. Unfortunately, you are not allowed to bring cameras, scissors or adhesives onto the premises. "

I found this on a scrapbooking blog today (http://thewomenswaitingroom.blogspot.com/) and just had to share...I know that I for one am suffering from MOE and DID! LOL!!!
