So have you figured out how to use Kaboodle & add items & create lists? If you would like screenshots or instructions please post a comment & I’ll put something together.

I’ve seen questions about how to use Kaboodle creatively. Here are a bunch of ideas.

For Digiscrappers, here are some ideas to maximize Kaboodle:

Tag items as you add them - add designer name
Get your lists organized
- Hollie (Holliewood stores) suggests: … you can have several lists, like digi-shopping, things already bought, stuff for the house, or even inspiration. you can organize those lists into catagories, like my digi list is then arranged by store. its a really super way to catalog your shopping.
To find new friends
- Look thru the lists of your friends & add people (it works in Facebook too)
- Search people for digital scrapbooking
- Post a link to your Kaboodle profile in your signatures with a note asking people to add you - In Kaboodle, click on ‘My Profile’ tab & use that URL.
To find new items - read the email that Kaboodle sends of what your friends like
- Someone suggested: Adding friends is great! That is where I find most of the new items. I read the email they send of what your friends have added. Then you can copy the item to your kaboodle. Ok, I think I may be an addict. LOL
Keep track of purchases - personally I check what I have in ACDSee 9, but many are making a folder called ‘own it’, ‘recently purchased’ or ‘bought it’.
Take advantage of sales - if you have your lists by stores, when a store has a sale, then you can quickly decide if you should buy
lists used for gift giving
- You can buy a gift card at that store, or contact the owner and have them set up a coupon for you.
- your lists can help your husbands & others find gifts for you

Ideas for Designers & site owners:

1. What does it mean to be RAK’ed by a designer? Here’s how it works (please leave a comment if you have other ways)

create your list of items & tag them with designer name
A designer goes to Kaboodle & does an item search for name of item or designer name
pm that person to communicate your (random act of kindness) - need to be registered
To see how easy it is, here’s a search for items by Shabby Princess

2. Games - here are some examples of how people have used Kaboodle

And this is one other thing I noticed. I saw an ad for the LilyPad Shoppe at Kaboodle in the banner. I think it was a google ad? It was very eye catching & well done. Kudos girls!
