Mojo is Peeking

Hello everyone!!! Hope you are having a wonderful Monday and that continues through your week. I know it's a little strange I'm actually blogging on a Monday. Can you believe it? Yeah, me either. 

So this past Friday I attended my monthly CTMH club and when I was there I started to feel a little something. At first I wasn't sure what it was and then it started to grow stronger. When I came home I was still feeling the same way. I was thinking it was a familiar feeling but one that I have not had in a long time. By the next morning I had awakened to complete my club project with a couple of changes. And started to think to myself.... I'VE FOUND IT! MY MOJO IS PEEKING OUT! I was so excited.

Mind you I haven't completed a club project in about a year and I have them all sitting here waiting to be done. I hopefully will get to them slowly as my TOS on the right side of my body has been flaring for the past month.

Enough with that, lets see what I was working on shall we. 

And then today I wake up get a couple of things done around the house, while I'm not feeling so well and ending up laying down around 12:30pm for a nap. Well my nap ending up being 5 hours long... Guess I really was feeling worse than I thought.

I try to do a little here and a little there because I really do miss crafting, blogging, and making YouTube videos. But my body will only let me do so much. I have to learn to strike an equal medium without overdoing it. I still haven't mastered that. 

I also wanted to thank Tonia for always being there and encouraging me through it all.

Well that is all for right now, I hope you have a wonderful week. Or at least until I speak to you next. Tomorrow is a trip to Ikea to grab a couple of things with my daughter. Hopefully I will come back with a fun story or two.

Blessings

Another "Sweet Day" with Echo Park

Another "Sweet Day" with Echo Park

Hi all, Mindy here. Yesterday I thought I had lost my mojo, but later in the day I guess I had found it. 

I was able to start and complete a full layout using Echo Park, Sweet Day collection. I just love the way it turned out. And I was able to incorporate the Scrap Happy Round Banner Trio die, going from 2 of the hot air balloons. The base of the layout is using Scrap Happy Spearmint cardstock. 

I had hand cut all the hot air balloons, clouds, and the hexagon pattern from the 12 x 12 pages that come in the collection pack. The whole collection is just wonderful with all the whimsical colors and bright cheery feel. 

Until the next time, make sure to stop by the store or check us out online. Blog, Online Store, FaceBook, Pinterest, and all the design team gals listed on the side bar. See you soon.

Scrapped Pages

HOLY TOLEDO - 


I finally scrapped some pages. I have been working on altered items and everything other than pages I thought I almost forgot how to do them. I have not worked on any pages since May of 2010. I sat down the other night and worked on my album. 


I was so excited to get so many pages done. I also worked on another album that I forgot to take pictures of. I guess I will just have to show you another time. 


This was a trip to the Apple Orchard that just my DH and I went on. Our album that I am working on is a 
8 1/2 x 11 album. 

I finished up a paper topiary too. 

Today I went to Michaels to see if they had any of the $9.99 Cricut cartridges left....... well I now have  - Paisley, Pagoda, and Sesame Street Friends. Then when I got home the FedEx man stopped at my house and dropped off Mini Monograms and George & Basic Shapes. I turned in some of my rewards. So today alone I got 5 cartridges, I would call that a good day.


The other day when I was organizing my paper, my cat Shannie thought it would be a good idea to climb in.

I think I have a fascination with pattern paper stacks. I was sitting on the floor when I took this, it was pretty tall.

The tallest stack is cardstock and the next one is just paper. 

Well I think that will be it for tonight. I hope everyone has had a WONDERFUL Saturday and continue to have a wonderful weekend.


Tomorrow after church I will be heading to a Stampin' Up workshop. I just LOVE going to those. 


Well have a blessed evening and talk with you tomorrow.
