I'm such a terrible......

Blogger

One day, two days, three days in a row. Then what.... I can go for over a week without a peep. I really am trying to get on a schedule I promise. I just have had more bad medical news handed to me and was taking a little rough.

But what other way to get back on the horse than to share my days with my friends around the world. I know there are some that come back on a regular basis and some that just come back when they see that I happen to finally post something.

Well I will share with you the schedule I have worked out and what I will try to accomplish over the next couple of weeks. I will be down again for sure on July 25th due to a medical procedure I will be having done.

So here it goes - 

Tuesdays - Tour or Technique  Tuesdays

This will hopefully be a way to get me doing more videos again. It will consist of a tour of parts of my craft areas or a different technique. Hopefully I will be able to advise what the next project will be incase you would care to join along.

Wednesdays - What's on Your Workdesk Wednesdays

 This is something I have been following along with for a couple years now and truly enjoy talking and meeting new crafty friends. The main link up place is over at Julia's The Stamping Ground. This is when you take a snapshot of your workspace and give a little info as to what is going on in your world that day. I LOVE Wednesdays when I get to travel the world from my desk in just a couple of clicks. I also want to start doing videos for this when I'm able, but of course we will see how that goes. 

Fridays - Find your Mojo Fridays

Since I have dealt with my fair share of losing my Mojo I thought it would be fun to help each other find theirs. Maybe if I'm having an off day someone can help me find mine. Hopefully Fridays will consist of ways that I have gotten myself back on my feet craftwise after many many knockdowns. 

I will also be posting about my new machine.... My Janome Memory Craft 350E Embroidery Machine! I am so excited to add that to my collection of wonderful machines. I have been blessed with a hubby that helps me try to combat the ever changing medical conditions I have to deal with. 

As many of you know I am not tied to only posting about one craft. I was in the past mainly scrapbooking, cardmaking and paper crafts. But I have been sharing more and more of the fabric things that I have been working on. I would like to continue to keep my blog about all things crafty. This is how we can meet new people and talk through ideas and tough times. 

Since I had a really nice ending to this post and my internet crashed my post, I totally forgot what I ended with. 

I do remember that, I will be adding a couple new pages to my blog. Since I am a crafty girl of many crafts, I have come to find that I have a LOT of stuff. New stuff, used stuff and what was I thinking stuff. So that's good news for you. Why, you may ask. Well I will be posting items for sale with payment through PayPal and hopefully most of the items will be free shipping. 

So for now, that this has become a long post, I hope you all have had a blessed and safe week.

Shoreline Design Team

Come sail away with me.

American Crafts Shoreline reminds me of days of summer. Relaxing in the sand, watching the sun set. With this card I was trying to get the feel of resting on the water in the middle of the ocean, with the sun high in the sky. Using Scrap Happy cardstock as my base and AC Shoreline as my background. I used the DIY Thickers and turquoise embossing powder from AC. All products used in making this card can be found at Scrap Happy Ohio, online and in the store. Make sure to stop by and check out all the new items from CHA too. 

After making my card I was still wanting to play around with this adorable paper. So I grabbed another piece of Scrap Happy cardstock and started playing. This is just a little brag book made with cardstock and pieces of the 6 x 6 stack of Shoreline.

WOYWW and Design Team Project

Can you believe how behind I am? I just have so much going on this week that I think my head might explode. I mean they are all good things, but I am really not sure how I am going to get them all done in time. 


I am late on posting my design team project for the week and now I am running late in posting my WOYWW. I had an appointment this morning and I'm trying to get my house in order because I am having my FIRST HOME GATHERING and workshop this Saturday! Can you tell I am excited and a lot nervous at the same time. 


I mean they are all my friends but there is always that thought in the back of your head that they are checking something out in your house that you didn't get a chance to pick up or wipe down..... Or is that just me. After my appt. I have been running around my house cleaning like a mad woman and I have gotten a lot done.


Anyhow on to the crafty stuff. So this week I will start with WOYWW. 

As you can see...... a lot. Since I'm getting ready for my workshop and I was working on my design team project. I have things for both on my desk. I was stacked up even further yesterday but really who cares. 

So I was thinking that I might try and get a little more organized after this week and see if I can get things together easier for workshops. We will have to see how that goes. 

My card using Echo Park - Sweet Day, Scrap Happy - Snowcone and the We R Memory Keepers - Sew Ribbon, this is the card that I came up with. I thought it was just a cute summery card with the pinwheels and the bright colors. Make sure to check out Scrap Happy Ohio for more from this line and all the Scrap Happy Exclusive products.

Wow, I was really talking on this one. For now this is what I have. I hope you enjoy your tour of desk. Make sure to stop at Julia's blog so you can start touring all over the world.
