This is the first LO that I’ve done since May’s LOAD challenge. I’m always this way. I work really hard on LOAD, then I pass out for a month. I actually did this one last week, but I really do love how it turned out. It’s got some hidden journaling, some memorabilia from the trip, not much… But honestly, it is the story that matters most here. Andrea and I took Sean and Jack to Disneyland for Mickey’s Happy Halloween. For breakfast, I made reservations at Storytellers Cafe. Jack was … [Read more...]
A new card!
June 28, 2011 by Leave a Comment
After finding that my scrap bag (and I’m pretty sure that that isn’t all) was thrown away by the cleaning people, I’ve been staying away from my crafting station. But after my class at Scrapbook Island with May Flaum, I had so many new supplies I decided that I needed to at least clean up. After a bit of cleaning, the scrap bag did not turn up (nor did the other bag that I think is missing). But, I looked through the kits that May gave us on Sunday and said, I should make a card for Susan … [Read more...]
scrapping this week…
October 12, 2010 by Leave a Comment
So, lucky me made some scrapping time this week. I’m beginning to get frustrated with myself because it’s taking me so long to make LO’s. I think I should be able to get 2 done in an evening. Nope. From 8 pm until almost 11, I’m working on one thing. Maybe it’s the television… Maybe it’s stopping to take a fudgecicle break… Maybe it’s talking to my husband rather than working. I don’t … [Read more...]
Breast Cancer Crop - Day 2
October 3, 2010 by Leave a Comment
Unfortunately, I missed day one of the Breast Cancer Crop at Scrapbook Island Saturday. Granted, I was driving 5 on the way back from an awesome evening trick or treating with Sean on Friday… But still, I was really looking forward to this crop. I got in about 11:10, and didn’t get started until almost 12… My first page, “Subway Ride”, I used the uber cool subway tape I bought on Etsy. I’ve been dying to use it since I bought it. … [Read more...]
Doubles Purge Swap!
April 9, 2010 by 1 Comment
I’ve been reading on the CK Boards, and trying to be a part of the community. It’s hard, these women have know each other for a long time. But I did try a purge swap. Simply because I had doubles of things that I had no idea what to do with. So, I’m posting the images of what I was sent, what I sent, and the two layouts I created. I’m really bad at the brands of things, and I guess I’m going to have to get better at it… Or just not care and hope people can guess, if they like what I … [Read more...]
Weekly Gratitude
January 5, 2010 by Leave a Comment
One of the people I’ve met since I started scrapping is Lori. She has started the Weekly Gratitude Project. I’ve decided to give it a try. It’s a weekly thing, and I think it might get me back to blogging. You never know. This months theme is “Work.” Hmm. Grateful for work. Hmm… “The theme for January is work. This applies to work of any kind. It can be a job you have. It can be all the work you do at home. Or raising your kids. Or a volunteer job. Or school. And if you don’t work at … [Read more...]
SP 12 - Question 13
September 24, 2008 by
If you were told you could never again buy yarn, would would your last yarn purchase be? I think it would be Cascade 220. I really do. It’s versatile, there are a TON of colors, and it felts so well! If you were told you could never knit again, what would be the last thing you’d knit?? I’d make a felted bag. I really would. I’d think about a sweater, but I’m pretty sure it would be a purse. In a given year, how many times do you buy yarn? … [Read more...]
SP Question Week 7
July 29, 2008 by
What is(are) your favorite place(s) to knit? I love to knit in front of the television, especially when reality television is on… Big Brother, Project Runway, Top Chef, all my favorite shows to knit by. I also love to knit on the plane. It’s quiet, and I tend to get a lot of work done. What supplies (besides yarn & needles) make the setting perfect for knitting? Buttons! I love to have lots of buttons around for inspiration! One good button can … [Read more...]
SP 12 - Question #5
July 10, 2008 by
1) Where is your favorite place to go for vacation/holiday? Oh, my… Ireland, Ireland, Ireland. I love Ireland. I would live there if I could. It’s so peaceful and slow there. I even tried to find a husband there (before John). 2) Where is one place you’d like to go? I’d like to go to Scotland… I hear that it is beautiful, and there is great wool there. … [Read more...]
SP 12 - Question #4
July 4, 2008 by
1) What yarn (that you don’t have/haven’t used) would make your stash “complete”? Wow, what a question! You know, I’ve wanted to try all kinds of yarn, and everything I’ve wanted to try I’ve bought. I have handspun Alpaca from Alaska, I have Qiviut, I have camel, I have Tilli Thomas, I have cashmere, I have silk blends. I have all kinds of brand names… Rowan, Malabrigo, Noro, Blue Sky, Lornas Laces, Schaefer… I … [Read more...]
