So I realized something today... I can't plan lo's,card's and any other crafts I do because I tend to over think it. I just need to do it and it works out so much better for me. On another note,I'm going to my very first Scrapbook convention tomorrow and I couldn't be more excited!!!!!!!!!!=]

so I've finally gotten some supplies to start scrapbooking. I figured that I would start with some wedding photos. Cliche, I know but I haven't quite gotten and idea of colors or schemes that aren't cheesey to really know where to start with it. So...here goes! I'm using mostly black and white with pearl and red for accents. Those where the colors of our wedding so I figured it would go nicely. We...

I've gotten some great ideas given to me about the Superman picture. What's your suggestion for the title of a layout?

Braised pork tenderloin; roasted potatoes; Brussels sprouts, baked fruit compote (plums & peaches) in a sweet, sugary glaze. Bon appetite, my friends!

Tomorrow we leave to go to Sydney for my husband to be admitted into hospital for surgery on Monday.

Well, you all have convinced me to keep growing my hair, at least until January. But, I have to say, that if it's not better by CHA, I will most likely chop, chop, chop! OK, you guys have been so great at sending me your Thrifty Gifties. Today I have some fun stocking stuffer ideas. The first is from Becca Shogren. She has been making these cute belts for her little guy. You know what I love a...

I am so excited about attending my first scrapbooking weekend, November 14th. I made all the arrangements for my family to live without me for 3 days and all I want to do is scrap, scrap, scrap!!! I guess I will have to squeeze in some sleep time!! I wish I did not have to though. I bought some comfy yoga pants to wear and cozy pajamas to hang out in.

For as long as I can remember I have found 'comfort' in having things organized...and even more comfort in going through the process of actually doing the organization! (give me a big bag of assorted buttons and I am happy as a clam!) Trouble has been that lately especially, I am not 'happy' bc I am so distracted by the mess in my home. Now I know it is not really dirty or anything, but I try t...

Am back again, I was lucky enough to meet up with penpals some of whom I have corresponded with for over 20 years. I was wonderful to meet up in person and the hospitality that we were shown . they took us to place we had heard of a but had never had the opportunity to actually see. One of my favourites was to 1 3th century pub where I embarrassed my self by pointing to the 4 foot high doorw...

Stamping is HARD! Who knew that applying some ink to rubber and getting it on paper would be so difficult? I bought some Tsukineko "dew drop" pads, some acrylic stamps, and set forth to get down to Christmas card making. Thank goodness I had some common sense to practice on regular paper. OMG - the last time I tried stamping it took a few mistakes to figure out that there are different kinds of...

So, today I decided to expand my scrapbook repertoire with stamping and embossing -which I have been reading about but have, to date, been too chicken to try. I went to my favorite local store and asked the assistant if she would give me a lesson so I could get started. She did - and a couple hundred dollars later, I left the store with everything I could possibly need (and then some) to stamp a...
