Scrapbook?

[rappar]

Years ago, you used to be able to save things you used frequently in the Scrapbook. I know that has been gone for ages but is there anything like that I could use with Mountain Lion?
I have some stuff I use on a regular basis to add to emails, Kijiji posts and the like. Having it more easily available than it is right now would be a real time saver.
Thanks
Ron

Maybe the following text expanding / text macro applications* can help (?):

• Mac OS X Feature: System-Wide Text Substitution (available since Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard)
• TextExpander (34.95 USD - synchs between Macs via Dropbox)
• TypeIt4Me (13.99 USD and upwards)
• Typinator (24.99 €)
• Kissphrase (free)
• QuicKeys (59.95 USD)
• aText (5 USD)
• xType (free)
• yType (2.99 USD)

*

Such applications are text replacement utilities to insert blocks of text into other applications by simply typing a few user defined keystrokes. Anytime a user defined keystroke combination is typed, it is substituted with the replacement text.
Example: you type "email1" and that text expands to "thisismyemailaddress@hotmail.xxx".
It might not work with passwords though.
