There's a hole in the wall

I never thought I would be excited about a hole in the wall....well never say never!! I have a hole not only in the wall of my scraproom, but also the ceiling. That hole is located when the chimney used to be. Once this is covered up and painted I will have more usable space in my scraproom. I am so excited...by this time next week I should be all moved (back) in. As much as I would have liked to spend sometime scrapping last weekend...this is definately worth the sacrifice!!

Just like Starting Over

I haven't blogged in FOREVER!! I just never seem to take time to write my own posts, although I am always "creepin'" on other people's blogs. I am going to give this another try.

Last weekend I headed south...to Des Moines Iowa. MY BFF and I attended the CK Convention. We had a blast!! We took seven, yes SEVEN classes in two days and we shopped!! So now I am full of fresh ideas and new inspiration. I have also been participating in 3 card groups. Although my heart is still in scrapbooking, cards are a quick way to get my creative "fix" in and it seems like I always need a card for one ting or another.

Since I don't have any great pics to share of neat ideas ready at this exact moment...check this out. Crafter's Companion has a new release. They are so cute!! Check out the sneak peak and and follow their desing team with some awesome art work!! AND THEY"VE GOT CANDY!!! WOOT!!

Until next time.....

Long Time

WOW!! I just realized it has been over a month since I updated my blog!! BAD BLOGGER!! I have actually been busy with scrap and card projects!! Where are the pics you ask? Good question. My family bought me a new digital camera in April. Figuring out how to use it was pretty easy since it is an updated version of my old one. I went out and bought a 4 gig memory card...lots of room for lots of pictures. Well it seems for some reason my computer doesn't like the 4 gig card. It will not upload the pictures. I am trying to figure out a fix for this.

First I will start with something exciting you can get in on. The Scrap Review is having a raffle. OK so I don't know many details on the raffle, but I do know about The Scrap Review. If you have not checked them out, do so now. Great site! It gives unbiased reviews of scrap related products. If there is something they don't like abut a product...they will say it!! They even give away some of the stuff they review. I can honestly say I KNOW they give it away too...because I was the lucky winner of one of their first giveaways. How Cool Is That?? I am sure the raffle will be awesome. Check it out!!

Last weekend my daughter, my best friend and I attended the Rubber stamp and Scrapbook Expo in St. Paul. We had a great time!! Learned lots of new things and I spend WAY TOO MUCH money!! There was one class offered, we made 20 cards. The main focus of the class was embossing. We used lots of cuttlebug folders and some Nestabiliities dies. I really like the Nesties, although to be honest, the price is a bit much for me to justify. Or I just haven't found a way to rationalize it yet.

Yesterday was spent cleaning my scrap room. I can honestly say it has never looked so bad. I knew I had issues when I started making graduation cards at the dining room table rather than in my room. I had so much stuff that was still in bags from last weekends expo, and I even found a bag of goodies I bought at the expo I attended last October. It took me 6 hours to complete the project. I think one hour of that was spent trying to figure out how to put new adhesive in my ATG. Thank You Candy at Altered State of Mind. I found your pictures most helpful!!

Armed with a full ATG, new paper, tools, inks, stamps, ideas and a clean scraproom Who knows what I will create!!

Peace, Love and Scrappiness!!!
