Scrap My Scraps Challenge: Card Set #6

Scrap My Scraps Challenge: Card Set #6

Sadly, we are at our last set of Scrap My Scraps Cards… I have enjoyed this challenge IMMENSELY. It’s been so fun to see what each player comes up with using the same pieces. It’s fun to see each person put a little of themselves into each project. I will be doing another Scrap My Scraps Challenge in the next couple of months with different papers. If you would like to participate please leave a comment on one of the…

Scrap My Scraps Challenge: Card Set #5

Happy Monday!  Welcome back to Scrap My Scraps! Here is Card Set #5 This set of cards is pretty awesome!   You’re not going to believe it, but nobody saw anybody else’s cards until THIS POST!   Check out the similarities in design and themes… LOL!  I about fell out of my seat when I saw them all together.   Kathi did not know that I had cut out leaves for my card or put a “buckle looking” band across it, either.   Also……

Scrap My Scraps Challenge: Card Set #4

I’m here sitting at the computer having finished Card Set #3 and thought I’d better get a couple of posts scheduled since I have some energy and the next few days are going to be busy ones.   My friend, Lisa, and I are throwing a baby shower for our friend, Kim, who is having surprise baby #3… the youngest is 8.  Anyway… Kim is super generous and gave away all of her old baby stuff… so we figured we’d better…

Sorry for the delay.  I have not been feeling well and have finally been able to haul myself to the computer to actually get some posting done.   I worked all day Tuesday and wore myself out and then had Curves and an echocardiogram on Wednesday. (The echo is a whole ‘nother story… so far no bad news.… will post more as I get the details from my dr.) Anyway.. back to our regularly scheduled program…. The poor girls really had…

Scrap My Scraps Challenge: Card 2

First of all… I have to tell you something that might shock you. Please sit down. I can not be responsible for injuries. I went to the mall today….. specifically to look for a brown skirt. My friend had one on at Sunday and it was quite loverly. Of course, I had to copy her… went to the store…. they had it one size too small and no more in my size. UGH. Then I headed back to my car…….

A New Challenge: Scrap My Scraps

A New Challenge: Scrap My Scraps

A while back when I was cleaning out my closet I came across a bunch of packets of card “guts” from a workshop that I did many moons ago (I think it was at least 3 years ago) when I was a consultant for CTMH.   It was a 6 card workshop for a bunch of “beginner” (aka virgin crafters) card makers and I had figured that the easiest way to do the card night was to pre cut all the…

Studio Tour: Part 6 – Fun Details

Studio Tour: Part 6 – Fun Details

I’ve had some questions about some details in the Studio Tour (and the sneak peek collage from a while back)… Here are some more fun pics to show the details… Mom made the kitchen witch for me when I was in high school. Mom put incredible detail into this little lady… all the lace trim, the slippers and even the wart on her nose. She has lived in my hope chest/moving box since then… I finally pulled her out and…

What’s For Dinner?

What’s For Dinner?

In my effort to get better at eating healthier I’ve decided to hunker down and be more diligent in creating healthy meals from scratch.   I have a huge recipe book where I’ve been collecting our favorite recipes in and have menu plans that I print out and use to plan meals and make grocery shopping lists but have been really lackadaisical in using lately… Hopefully by sharing my goals I will be more diligent in working on accomplishing them.   So…

Reporting in…. So I started Curves in April. I went on vacation in May for a little over a week and missed several (5)workouts. I haven’t eaten as good as I should have, but not nearly as bad as I used to. I’ve been trying to be at Curves at least 3 days a week. And it’s paying off! Here are the results so far: Doing the HAPPY DANCE! 5.5 lbs is not “a lot”… but 4” IS! Especially the…

Windows Live Writer – Basic Tutorial

Windows Live Writer – Basic Tutorial

I {heart} Windows Live Writer. It makes my blogging life MO BETTAH. Jeanne Tomshack introduced it to me a while back and I have not used the online blogger interface to blog since. I had so many trouble with Blogger eating my photos and not publishing when it was supposed to, etc…. Blogger was also very cumbersome to compose posts in. Now, don’t get me wrong. I still use Blogger to host my blog and still have to log in…
