Report

On friday the kids slept from 8am to 10:30am and I decided to head to the craft room. I want to make some gifts for friends, so I started working on them. It took me 2 hours to make 4 cards and a case to hold the cards. This is what I ended up with. Hopefully I will be able to make 2 more cards and some envelopes to go with this kit THIS WEEK.

Sleep Deprived

I don't know what was up with the kids last night but they couldn't sleep after both of them got up for the third time (4am) I put on a movie thinking that they would fall asleep. Boy was I wrong, but I fell asleep and the kids destroyed the living room. But the good thing now is that they are asleep and I have some peace and quiet. So maybe I will be able to get some crafting done that I have had the good intentions of doing for quite some time. Check back tonight for pics of my handywork.

April Workshop!

This month we are doing the Emporium workshop. These first pages are the ones we will be making at the workshop. The cards will be a surprise.

The next pages we won't complete at the workshop but you will receive the directions for them and can complete them with the leftover paper from the workshop.

Cards!

Here are some of the cards my mother and I made on Thursday. I have got to advertise better!
Anyways most of them came out cute. There were two that were ok but not great(sorry I am not posting those). Stay tuned for my latest pages, hopefully I will be able to finish them tomarrow. I am actually going to have pictures on the workshop pages this month.

Oh I have finally figured out how to get good pics of my cards. I have a scanner, duh HEIDI.







Kaia even got in on the act. She made some beautiful cards. I'll have to find her cards and post them later.

Digi

Just after I started my blog I decided I wanted to design my own backgrounds and add a unique touch to my blogs. The coolest site I found for FREE software is Shabby Princess. My background for my personal blog is made with their newest FREEBIE. Here is layout I did today with the "Happy Go Lucky" pack. It has a great western theme to it.

$5 Thursdays

The other day my mother mentioned that she needs a stash of cards and needs to use up her supply of scrapbooking paper. So I am going to have a $5 Thursday every month. You bring the paper(from your stash) you would like to use, adhesive of your choice, paper cutter, and tools(if you like). I will supply blank cards, scrap paper, and the card patterns. You are welcome to use my scrapbooking tools, stamps and stamppads.

My first $5 Thursday will be next week on April 9th. The party will run from 6pm to 9pm, so come when you can.

Look for coming details on my April workshop.

Craft Room

The other day I was cleaning my craft/office room and I happened to read Jullie's blog about how she was painting and organizing her office and her daughters room. I had been thinking about painting my room for awhile now and I took inspiration in her work.

My scrapbooking table was full of scrapbooking supplies, so much that I barely have room to scrapbook. So I gave my husband a big task of making an organizer for all my scrapbooking stuff (to get it off the table where I can access everything without making a mess). And my husband came through to my suprise and I didn't even have to wait one week. I guess it helps that he has nothing better to do.

The white walls have been bugging me since we moved in. So I decided to paint the room. Ty insisted the office had to be green. He read somewhere that the color green influences your thoughts towards money. So I painted it green(a better green than my living room).

Here is the finished project.


Hopefully it will stay this clean and organized.
