My swap partner was Lisanne the Bathtub Junkie she was so sweet to send me all these yummys... look at the list...
August 9, 2007
What do you think, does this sound like me? :o)
August 2, 2007 IKEA!!! The new things are the two shelves in the middle and the two bars beneath them with hanging organizers. Of coarse (again) I got this idea from my good friend Andrea, she uses Ikea organizing in her scrapbook studio, it's wonderful!!! I now have a very handy and reachable basket for my paints that were all hidden in a drawer before... not a good place for them since I use them so often. I also have a basket for my wooden stamps (Old and new, recognize them?) they were just taking up desk space, but I don't want them hiding away either. And I have a great spot to put an open album with my latest layout on display. I have always loved to do that, but it always eventually got in the way and I had to move it. Now I won't have to because it's nice and high. Good talking at you ladies, I hope all is well.
July 12, 2007 This is a close-up on an altered paint can I made and although I love paint cans, flowers, ribbon and this paper, that is not today's thing that makes me go MMMM. My thing is Jewels! They are so yummy and so easy to use! They are probably my favorite for choice for rhinestone words, but there are plenty of other companies that make jewels for scrapbooking such as Heidi Swapp, Queen & Co, Imaginisce, Top Line Creations, EK Successs and more... I even buy plain little packs at Michaels. MMMMM!!!
July 5, 2007 Please watch the whole video through, it really makes you think about if you are making the right choices in car seats. I know I am now thinking of putting my son facing back again.
And if you watch the video in this site.... it really makes you think twice about buying a GOOD seat! It makes me wanna cry just thinking about a real child in a car crash.
June 28, 2007 I LOVE teaching others to do art! Well this year since I will be placing an order with Stampendous very soon I am deciding to plan ahead, and purchase some of their Christmas stamps in a hope to simply things a bit. I will just teach more stamping and less paper piecing, or sewing, lol! These are the ones I am planning on purchasing... let me know what you think.
June 14, 2007 I haven't shared with you lately a thing that makes me do MMMM! Well here it is... a wall of pictures. I also love the fact that even though my home does not have a fire place with a mantle to put pictures on my fish tank is a wonderful stand in :o)
April 26, 2007 I love Close to My Heart! I signed up to be one of their consultants recently and got a big starter package in the mail. It was so sweet when I openned it up everything was wrapped in purple tissue paper and there was a note with my name written on it. I knew they were sweet, but this just prooved it! Here's a peek at what was inside, which is all so exciting because I got this kit on sale only this month! Let me know if you need anything ladies.
April 19, 2007 MMMM ribbon and organization too :o) I love all different kinds of ribbon, and thus far have ended up with so much of it that I had to buy these (lovely) glass jars to keep it all in. I got them from an online Restaurant Supply store, because that is where I found the perfect size to maximize my amount of space used. I measured my shelf Length to see how many would fit across, the Depth, and the Height so I could get them as close to my ceiling as possible... then I purchased accordingly. (I actually do this measure then plan routine often, look here and you can tell I measured how much space my desk would take, and I also measured perfectly for my Ikea shelving to fit in the closet with my paper rack.) I also found a new place to purchase my ribbon! Thank you Jenn! It's a great online store called Ribbon & Bows Oh My! They have a very decent selection at very good prices, and even though I have only had contact with them twice, I noticed they are very sweet.
April 12, 2007 Today I would like to share both a scrapbooking thing and a personal thing. My MMMM for scrapbooking happens to be fun titles. I love stitching my titles, and I love chipboard. To stitch these titles I wrote the word on my page with a pencil, and with embroidery thread I did a simple backstitch going over the penciled in word. For the shinny black look on my chipboard monograms I first painted them with black acrylic paint, then I embossed them with ultra-thick clear embossing enamel.
April 5, 2007 It's that time again... time for me to share a THING with you that makes me go MMMM :o) Today it is Patterned Paper, not just plan patterned paper, but patterned paper with a POP!
March 29, 2007 This layout totally shows some of my favorite things all in one place. I love a simple clean look, sewing, metal, acrylic paint, my cricut, some good stamps and I love tearing my photos, it gives a nice alternative to photo matting. I also think RED is my "happy color". Of coarse there are a lot more things tickle my fancy as far as scrapbooking goes, but I will share more next week, be sure to join me, and leave me a comment with your link so I can see how you are ticklish. hehehehe. |
