I HAVE A FOLLOWER - Make that TWO

Thank you Vicki for being my first follower. I will have to start posting more projects now that I have a follower that is going to watch what I am doing. I love your blogs and like checking in often. Again THANK YOU for making me feel a little better to know that there are people checking in on my blog.

Have a wonderful Day.

Thank you Memory Keeper for becoming a follower and your uplifting comments. Your work is wonderful. We may have to have Wizard of Oz trivia every now and then.

LIGHTING FAST

I have never gotten anything from EBay that quick. I had to get the Wild Card (again Thanks Robyn) cartridge and after I watched her video, I went to ebay and found one. Love Ebay for cartridges. I really do not like to wait, but this time I can not get over how fast I got this. I ordered 2/19 and TODAY is 2/21 the shipment came from CA to OH and I have it ALREADY!!!!!!!!

HOLY TOLEDO

Ok, so I have to get off my blog and go play. Will show you later what I make. Thanks Robyn for your videos and upbeat personality.

Talk with you soon.

Determined, Determined, Determined

There will be no more of that.

On to the cool stuff. Today I went to pick up a stamp so I could finish my nephew's card. As always, I got a little more than I went for. I think that happens to everyone, unless you really have self control. NOT ME. I actually had to tell myself out loud today, to leave the store, that I was going to get myself in trouble.

So want to know what else I got, well I will tell you.

DCVW - Green Stack - Thanks Robyn and The Glitter Stack. Sweet, I'm goin have to show you. Also bought 2 stamps, jet black StazOn, aqua flo brushes watercolor pencils, brads. I think that is it but I could be wrong. I will post some pics as soon as I can get off this computer and work on some cards and scrapbook pages.

Talk with you soon, and to all a good night.

My Stress .....going, going, hangin by a thread

This has been the craziest weeks EVER. I think I am losing my mind and no one is there to help put the pieces back together. I still believe the best way to describe me is BROKEN. Everything of myself is, BROKEN. I just feel that I needed to let this out somewhere, and since no one follows my blog, I can just know that I am talking to myself and no one else cares.

OK - Enough of that. Today I am going to work on a couple of things to get my mind off the rest of the world. Leave it all behind. SO. I got a couple of new things in the mail today and can not wait to really use them.

I love sales and coupons ( that is COU ponds and QUE ponds), see that is one of the things that drives me crazy. I tell myself all the time that we really need the money, but somehow I can go to the store and buy more scrapbook stuff, and go on weekends to scrapbook, that I think I am spending too much money on, just for a weekend. But then there is a part of me that really wants to think this will be a good time for me to think and be alone. If you do not want to talk you don't have to.

Sorry I am not really talking about scrapping. I think I will finish with my venting at home.

I will just let you know that the items I got today are

Fiskars Boarder Punch - Threading Water
Diamond

and yesterday or the day before
Cuttlebug Embossing Folders - Perfectly Paisley
Stylized Flowers
Floral Screen

So, I will be playing with these for the next couple of days until I get

CRICUT CARTRIDGE******DRUM ROLL******WILD CARD****SWEET

ROBYN PINKSTAMPER
Thank you for helping me in my journey. We have never met, or spoken, but learning how much easier a project can be with just a little practice is a wonderful help. Hats off to you. Five children and you are able to still have time to scrap and craft.

On to he next thing. Thank you for reading this, if you are. If you are not, that would not surprise me.

He is guiding me in the right direction, this to shall pass and I shall be me again. It is time to work or have a career that makes me happy. I feel one of the best movies to explain how I have been feeling is Click.

Really, I most go. I would like to get some scrapping or make a couple of cards before I fall asleep. I might not even watch Grey's, I think this will be the first time since the show started. EVER. I need to be in my bubble, and let me be me.

Sorry to bring you down. Soon we will be back up and I will feel worth something to myself.

To all have a good night.

Craft Room Video

OK - so I have had this camera for a couple of years and just relized that it is a video camera too. So I am a little slow sometimes. Earlier, I posted pictures of my craft area and wanted to give you a little more of a detailed view. Check out the video. Now that I know how to use this camera as a video camera, I will start posting more videos. Enjoy your day.


So I just looked at this one and for some reason I can't get it to go longer than 5 minutes. There is more to the video, but I will have to post that later. This took 45 minutes to post and I think it is just the camera. So again have a wonderful day.

Craft Room

I have looked and looked, and changed and changed my space to make a craft area that would not get in the way of the rest of the family. At first I was using our enclosed porch, that did not last long. The first year I had it on the porch and would run a heater when it started to get cold. Being in NW Ohio, we have winter and I could not scrap until spring. That is a long time to not work on anything. So, I had enough of that. Having just bought the house in the past couple of years, I am still working on the layout. Our style, that we really lack. Since we are lucky enough to have a family room and a living room, I decided that I should be able to move stuff around and have a permanent craft room or area, that I did not have to freeze in.

This is the room (porch) it all started in.



We as a family spend most of our time in the family room with the fireplace. The living room is a living room, dining room, and craft room now. I have claimed my corner of the room and keep changing to make it work. I think I am getting close to having it in working order.

This is a work in progress.





I will scrap a page or do a card and see if I have everything I am going to use in close reach. I am the type of person that really does not like to get up to find things when I am scrapping.

Sooner or later I will have it all set the right way. In 3 weeks, I am going to take more than half of my stuff with me, when I go to my favorite weekend event. March Madness a Creative Memories (Hosted by my consultant) weekend scrap that I go to every year. Back to what I was saying, sorry I tend to get off subject.

Today I used some Priority boxes that you can get from the Post office, for free, to sort and hold my DCWV Card stock and Printed Paper. I cut it down and covered it with white contact vinyl. So here are some more of the newest set up for my craft space.






I hope to get the Flip camera for my birthday, and then I wouldn't have to type this all out, I could just post a video. Ok, so that is enough for tonight. I will update more later. Have a wonderful week and have faith.
