ACMoore is getting rid of their old paper racks really cheap. They're now using a different vertical style kind. So the one near me sold their old ones for $15 each. Each rack had 30 shelves. They had both 12x12 and 8.5x11 for that price.

I've not watched any of the more recent seasons of Gilmore Girls.

I saw Sylar in a old "24" episode. His brows weren't so thick there.

You're in for a great ride if you've only started watching this season! I won't give anything away!

Oh, Happy Saturday everyone!

• VivianR Said:

ohh... I've seen them all.


all ready for the scoend season here...

Good morning all. Just stopping by to say hi.

• VivianR Said:

It really is a long weekend..for me, it will be about 2 1/2 months

You've been on the Heroes thread here! I need to read the latest graphic novel. Seems they'll keep their website going.

Just finished our "Prom" LO if you have time to take a look.

Never too old for Prom

• MelanieS Said:

Any excuse to dress up is a good excuse!!

I'm now starting on my sister's birthday album using both the "Once upon a Time" and "Far East" stacks.

Here's a pic of the storage system! I could definitely use another!

Going to start lunch! We didn't eat breakfast so we are more than a little hungry!

Walgreens has them. For a $10 flat fee, you can get a Visa or Mastercard, and you load anywhere from $20-$500 on it. There's a $5 fee per month for having the card, and it's $5 every time you reload it. I originally got it just for paying school tuition, and ordering my textbooks online and having them delivered to me. But I figured since I'm paying the fee on it every month, I might as well use it for other stuff, too! I did my first online shopping at Christmastime.

It's worth it in my opinion, to not have to carry around a lot of cash, as I put most of my paycheck on it every two weeks. I leave enough cash for shopping at Michael's and HL, and buying a few little things that cannot wait either an hour or till after work, or my portion of the rent. (Hubby and I pool money for the rent and get one money order every month.) You have to wait an hour after you purchase a reload to put it on the card, and you can reload it over the phone or online. I like being able to shop securely online knowing that the card is NOT linked to any bank account.

I pay all bills but the rent online. Cell phone, light bill, cable bill...online. I spend ten minutes a month at the computer, paying the bills. I save so much on stamps! Frees up my stamps for writing to my aunt and sending my handmade cards and stuff to my family.

I haven't decided on a bank yet (I know, I've been deciding for way too long!) but when I do, I'm going to keep this prepaid card for shopping online and evilbay.

I leave emergency money on it at all times, and I don't have to worry about losing emergency cash because my card's right there.

Ive spent the past 3 hours painting Dora and Boots on Anikas wall ... Ill put pics later ... Im going to try to get another one done because I want to make the most of the light ..

• Tink-Hildur Said:

Um, Tink? I got an upgrade in title at a Weekend Crop a few weekends ago...not last weekend, but the weekend before.

• kahlan Said:

I'm going to start breakfast here pretty soon. We all slept in, kids had some Shrek waffles when they got up, so I can make Egg McMuffins and egg burritos for us for breakfast. My kids LOVE the egg burritos.

• Tink-Hildur Said:

Lizzie would go absolutely NUTS if I painted Dora and Boots on her wall...or the Disney Princesses. She loooooove them all!!!

Hello!
Can I join in here? I have a 3 day weekend and plan on scrapping everyday, I hope to get a lot done.
I was reading past posts and wnated to share that my dh does all the cooking here. I don't cook hardly at all. He is a great cook. This morning we all did housework together so we could get it done and do what we wanted for the rest of the w/end. All I have to do now is laundry.

I have one of the new DCWV Glitter albums, it was only $14.99 from my lss. I fell in love and had to have it and could not argue at that price!

Sure, Annak! Welcome! You're in KS?? I'm in MO, myself. The Kansas City area. Welcome!

Hey, Annak!

I've got the glitter stack too. I think I'm a DCWV fan, for sure.

Yes I am here in good old Kansas, sounds like we have a storm heading our way. I hear thunder!
I love to go to Archivers in KC.
I like the DCWV lines, I have more of it than I realized! Great prices!!

I thought it would be easy doing this gift album. I'm having a hard time getting my two-pagers to balance each other.

stopping by to say hello and hope you ladies are having a great day scrappin! I need to be-but I am not in the mood!

Well I got two pics finished in their room today ... Dora and Bloom ... here are the pics of their room pics of their room it took for ever first I have to sketch the figure and then sharpie the outlines .. paint it and then when its dry sharpen the outlines ...

• jorysmomma Said:

Im going to get all of it .. hehe ... Im craving the OUaT stack ... and all the extra stuff . ...

• Tink-Hildur Said:

that is awesome-you are way talented!

Tink, did you free hand this or trace it?

• Tink-Hildur Said:

Lizzie saw it and went NUTS!!! Begged me to do it to her walls! We live in an apartment and I can't. But she loves it! And I think it looks great, too! You are a very talented artist, girl!

Well, girls, I will be back soon. I am being dragged to Michael's. Not quite kicking and screaming, but being dragged.

• Tink-Hildur Said:

OMG! Those are so cute! You did an amazing job, but then again we are talking about the ever talented Tink!

• jorysmomma Said:

Let's see:

Once Upon A Time 12x12 stack
Once Upon A Time 8x8 stack (2 stacks)
Far East 12x12 stack
Far East 8x8 stack
The Glitter Stack 12x12 stack
The Glitter Stack 8x8 stack
Extreme stack both 12x12 and 8x8
The Fall Stack 12x12 (got that on clearance)

I think I'm hooked! Especially the OUaT and Far East.

I freehand them ... I have bunch of photos that I copy ... these two only used up one eraser .. hehe ... doing DOra was a lot harder because I had to do it above my head ... and didnt have a good view ...

THanks girls ... you should see their nook where they used to play when they were little ... its the hundred acre woods ... they use to love it .. but soon Im going to paint it white again ... its in the living room and Im getting tired of looking at it ...

• jorysmomma Said:

Oh, how you'll suffer.

You could draw onto foam board or poster board or even canvas. This way you can take it with you when you move.

I have been reorganizing my scraproom, still not done! I have to make it so I don't have to lift anything after my surgery. The doctor said not to lift anything over 5 lbs. I've got a little over a week to finish it, but I'm hoping to get it done this weekend.

Now I've got to get ready to go to my sister's baby shower! I may or may not be on again tonight. All depends on dh. The guy next door is having party and invited us, so if he wants to go, I will go. Of course, I could cheat and keep running back home to chat with you all!

Have a great night!

• Kitty_wOlf Said:

can you imagine? Even thinking about doing that makes my walls rip! LOL Building a house takes like forever. It takes 2 months for the foundation to dry properly! (in our climate, in israel it's probably a lot hotter & drier!)

• Tink-Hildur Said:

Make sure you take pix before painting over it.

• kahlan Said:

of course you have to chat with us ... if your lucky they have a computer

oh my, you girls are ranting!!!

I'm not even going to TRY to catch up on 13 pages of new comments - sorry -

but I do have something new I'm working on

• Tink-Hildur Said:

My dh would think I had lost my mind if I asked the neighbor to use his computer so I could chat.

oh, btw, the architect had some WONDERFULL ideas. First we didn't like the idea of having the (only) bathroom upstears, but the little sketch he made... with a walk-around bath, and a wall in the middle of the room behind wich the actual dressing is ... I squeeled "that's a rich people bathroom!!" and I think DH fell in love with that idea too

• VivianR Said:

Im going to do that .... I have some really cute pictures of them playing there ....

Great job Tink, that sure is a talent!
I think you can get wallies for those of you that want to do something similar, they just stick on and can easily be peeled off.

• annak Said:

We had some of those ... but they kept falling off ... and they only have one kind here in Iceland ... so I decided to paint it on the walls instead ... looks prettier but hard work ...

• Tink-Hildur Said:

it's the satisfaction that counts (y)

Alita, that bathroom sounds great but only one bathroom. Whew. I'm spoiled. We have 2 full bathrooms and one's large with a separate shower and I want another bathroom. But land here is very cheap especially compared to anything in Europe!

Here's the two I started yesterday and finished today.
