newbie to scrappig. is this a normal idea about winter?

Welcome from the Great White North, where it's always snowing somewhere

Sounds like you already have a good idea of where to start. Half the challenge/fun is finding new ways/sources to get scrap. Tell your family, tell your friends and do as much exploring new avenues as you can. Good luck!

On a side note, are you related to Travistemple202020 or were you just in the same typing class? Forum joke.
