Thanks RAK

Denise Thank you so much for this beautiful card. Check out Denise's Blog to see how she made the buckles and the letters.  Thanks for sharing! 

AMERICAN IDOL:  What did you think of AI tonight?  The guys did do 100% better this week than they did last week.  Chris Sligh is still my favorite.  I don't know what it is.  But he seems to be a "fun" person.  So sweet of him to dedicate his song "Trouble" to his wife. 

Well I am off to bed now.  I have had a head ache that has been brewing all day. 

Thanks again Denise for the great card.

Club Scrap Rolling Retreat

I got back yesterday around 3:30 - 4ish.  We had a wonderful time this week end.  The Club Scrap Gang really knows how to spoil you.  I will be taking pictures at some point of all the projects this week so you can see what we did.  They were very generous with their products.  Needless to say I had 3 large bags from shopping in the Pro-Shop.  They are having their Main Retreat in August, Sept and October.  Still trying to decide if I will be going or not..lol  I already know it will be TONS OF FUN!  My sister sent me pictures of my nephew, I think it was yesterday she sent them, but I couldn't open them until today.  There is on that is my favorite.  He is on a motorcycle.  I have no idea how they did this.  But isn't it just darling!  Ok.  I promise to load up some "scrapbooking" related items tomorrow.  I am beat from cleaning my craft room, cooking dinner, cleaning the rest of my house, and working on the Newsletter and the website for the store.  Hope you all have a wonderful night.  See you on the blog tomorrow.  :)

How cute is this...

For everyone that knows me, knows my sister sends me pictures pretty much on a daily basis of my nephew "Joseph".  I was just looking through a few this one has to be my absolute favorite.  Look at that smile.  He is such a happy little man.  Doesn't it just melt your heart... Can you believe he is only 9 Months old?  Yup this little guy will be 1 in May.  I am printing this one up for a page I want to do.  I'll post it as soon as I get it done. 

I am so excited.  This week end is "Club Scrap Retreat" ...  Well a Mini one but none-the-less it is a Retreat.  I will be leaving on Friday with my best pal Iman around noonish and Check in time is 3:30ish.  We have 5 workshops and a little croppin time.  Can't wait.  I am not packing as much as I did when we were in Virginia.  However, I do have some projects I have to finish up.  Fun Fun Fun.  I can't wait!

I was "blog hoppin" today and I was reading Taylored Expressions and she had the coolest find on her blog today.  Go check it out.  Gotta get to Kohls soon...  What a great idea for the store.  :)

AMERICAN IDOL:  I think it is a little early to pick my favorite.  However I do like Chris (the one with the dark curly hair)  I think he is different.  And oh so funny.  Just have to remember that this is a Singing Competition.  Not Comedy.  But I think he is pretty good.  The guys did put on a crappy show last night.  Tonight on the other hand the women did have some ups and downs.  Loved the last girl who performed.  She seems a little shy but she definitly has the voice.  I'll remember their names later.  lol  I wonder who will get voted off.  Any ideas??? 

Until Next time.  :)

Good Morning

I am actually on my way out the door right now to head to work.  I have to open up this morning.  I have to stop for breakfast on my way.  I seem to never get up in enough time to eat it here. 

This is my favorite stamp in the whole wide world.  I have not found another one like this one.  My friend Barbara had this stamp and let me borrow it and I finally gave it back to her when I moved up here to New Jersey.  I searched ebay and all the stores I could for this one stamp.  With the disappointment that I can't find it.  So she mailed it back to me and gave it to me.  How sweet is that?

This card is using all Bazzill Card stock in shades of Purple.  And the ribbon, hmm..  I can't remember where I got it at.  I embossed the image in Black detailed and chalked him in.  On the inside I stamped the sentiment "You make me Smile"

Off to work now.  Have a great day! 

Happy Valentines Day

Hope you all are having a wonderful, Fun, and Romantic Day. 

Stamping:I made a couple of these on Monday.  This is one I had left over.  I love these little Mail Boxes.  I couldn't find them here in New Jersey but my Friend in Florida found them for me and mailed me 6 of them.  3 red and 3 white.  I was so excited when I got the box. :)  Thanks Barbara! 

   This is using paper by "Paper Adventures", SU Card stock, Quickutz, Icing Rubons by Quickutz.  Various Ribbons. Prima Flowers, and Making Memories Heart Brad.  Last but not least,  I used the Marvy Scalloped Square punches...

Have I mentioned that I love the Marvy Giga & Mega Punches.... 

Shopping Finds:While in Virginia I did manage to buy the McGill Tab Punch.  I have been looking for them and I finally found it.  As soon as I seen it I grabbed it and put it with my stash.  :)  This Paper with the paisleys was also a great find in Virginia.   Usually when I buy paper I buy 2 at a time, I really wish I would have bought more of this print.   

Thoughts: Today in New Jersey was a "Snow" day for most.  It was actually sleet at first,  then Snow,  Then sleet again.  And when I took Skip to potty earlier it was snowing.  The roads where a sheet of ice this morning but is slush now.  I didn't go to work, too dangerous to drive a couple cities over. 

Skip wanted to play in it.  She loves it.  One of the best things about this weather is that Skip who is very picky on where she chooses to squat, Can't tell if she is on grass/dirt or concrete.  (she usually will only go on Grass/dirt)  Kinda exciting for me cause I don't have to walk her a mile before she chooses to do her business..lol  (I know too much info..lol)

Until Next time:  HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!
