Scrappin’ Sunday April 6, 2008

Hey ladies joining me from the Sunday Scrappin’ Hub, nice to see you here.

 Well my TA-DAs, hum?  I got some of my to-do’s done from last week…        

• 
• I cleaned up my scrap space AGAIN (pics above)… I feel like I just did this!
• I entered one of my orders for National Scrapbook Day (which I am totally excited about because from the product I ordered they decided to match that amount in promotional products for giveaways!)
• I also downloaded some new fonts from Allie Hoopes to play with… 
• and a made a rolling “email me button” with my families pics for my blog (featuring a couple of those fonts).
  • Do you think a custom button like that would be a good giveaway for the upcoming party?

My TO-DO for this week will be… to put together my Rusty Pickle tutorial for the Scrapbooking Blog Party.  I think that’ll be it since I have B.Boy’s birthday party coming up next weekend.

Now for this week’s Bonus Question: What kind of projects do you do the most often?  Lately I have had a lot of altered projects, if you check my Scrappin’ Sunday page you will see that.

And Here’s a Bonus Question I missed from week 4:  Share a favorite tip or technique that you’ve learned recently…  Well I shared a tutorial for my most favorite technique last week… distressing.  Check it out and enjoy.

Happy Scrapping!    

Thursday’s Thing February 28, 2008

Part of this week’s Tackle on Tuesday was giving my 12×12 cardstock a new home :o)  I’ve been searching forever for a good size bin (not box) for all of my open cardstock.  (Yes, I have more than this.)  This cardboard box has been driving me crazy!… actually I think it’s my third box because the others have fallen apart.

 Well, I finally found a good bin!  Of coarse it’s from Ikea again!… Look!!!  :o)      

Late Night Tackle February 27, 2008

Yes last night I waited till the kids were asleep to get my tackle done.  And yes it is the office again… there is a project I have to do (notice the box of paint cans), but cannot work in there with it a mess like that!  I needed help from my hubby because some of it was his, so he came home blessed me by making dinner and bathing the kids, then we attacked two bags and a box of stuff!  After that I cleaned up the rest of the office and built a new little table and chairs for my kiddos.  Now I am ready for more (of a different kind of) tackling!  And if your wondering, the rest of my day was spent tackling disobedience, lots of toys and over 100 emails!

Room Swap… Take Two… February 12, 2008

I told you that you would see me this week with a better outcome… well I still have some work to do, but here is some of what I have already finished since last week…I hung all my shelving (by myself) and put everything in it’s place :o) (If you want more about my shelving read my August 2nd post, or my ribbon jars read my April 19th post.)

Also I cleaned off all the tabletops in my front room of all the extra stuff… plus I dusted the whole room (that made me happy because I have been wanting to do that for a while now). Then I did most of the dishes, cleaned the kitchen, and did some laundry… it was a good day getting all this done (with my three little ones not driving me crazy). 

*Update on my wee little one (1st picture)… she slept 4 1/2 hours the past two nights!!!! Very cool! See’s growing like a weed, and with her face getting a little more chubby she is starting to look like her older sissy (2nd picture). 

Tackling a Room Swap! February 5, 2008

Here’s a little update on what we’ve gotten done here at home… We purchased the desk and some other goodies on a “date” Thursday night, we put it together that night and moved the computer over, including my husband’s new monitor that he got as a late Christmas gift (it also came on Thursday).

It was a lot of work to clean out the whole office.  I have no pics of the craziness during the move, but I did take some pics today of the mess that is still left :o)  When we moved the bookcase (the same one I tackled back in April) we had to take all the books off… and some of them are still not on, not to mention I still have to reorganize the shelves, and hang my scrappy shelves above my desk.  I did manage to get my closet shelving up though, and my desk mostly organized.  I’m sure you’ll see me back next Tuesday with a better outcome :o)  Happy TT.

Thing that makes me go MMMM! August 2, 2007

IKEA!!!

Need I say more? My bookshelf (I once tackled) is from Ikea, the scrapbook shelving in my closet is from Ikea, the dressers, nightstands, and lamps in my bedroom are from Ikea, and now THIS….

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.

You may also notice (in the first picture) a 12×12 layout with a photo of my daughter on it… that’s a sneak peek of the layouts I am doing from the photos I showed you on the 2nd of July. No worries, I will share when I am all finished.    

Good talking at you ladies, I hope all is well. 

Tag! I’m it! April 12, 2007

My new friend Morgan tagged me to play a game of show your desk. You really wanna see this people!? Fortunately it’s a lot more tidy than I have seen it in the past.

Notice my husband’s Wow hat, my daughter’s Play-Doh, my High School yearbooks, my precious stuft turtle (belonging to my late twin sister), my piggy bank (my beloved Daddy gave me), and the layout from which I just took photos of for the next post :o) If you wanna see the story of my desk at it’s best click HERE.
