It's Monday
Why do weekends tend to fly by? And the rest of the week goes very very sloooooooowly? I didn't even do anythignreally fun this weekend, just cleaned (almost done with my scrap room) and ate brunch at my Mom's. We did take the kids to Coldstone (Love their ice cream but so bad for you!) and let them run around outside. The boys make race tracks with their Tonkas and cars. Very cute how into it they get. I should take a picture of it sometime (I know, I am a bad scrapper). Emma actually took a nap and wasn't so grouchy for once. That kid seriously needs to sleep more.
I actually did a card this weekend. A simple thank you card using a Fancy Pants creative card ( all those card I had to have and then never used till now!). Turned out cute and once the pearls come in from Hero Arts, it will finished. And I started a LO of David and I. I crackled a tile frame and it turned out great. If you haven't used the crackle paint from Tim Holtz, you are really missing out! It is easie then painting since the brush is in the lid. Less of a chance that some 2 year old hands will get into it. I will try and upload some pics this week.
Well, that is all for now. Time to get some work done. I have a card class on Thursday and I need to get everything cut. Have a happy Monday!!

Spring Cleaning
It is that time of year again.....time to clean! I have a love/hate relationship with cleaning. I love the after and the organizing part but I hate getting started. You always seem to make a bigger mess then it was before. My scrap room is horrible at the moment. I started cleaning out all the supplies I didn't need this past weekend and ended up with a massive box of stuff I need to get rid of. I have too much and it was really impeding on my scrap mojo. So I am finally lettig go of all the items I had to have but will never use because they just aren't me. I am just now getting to the point of understanding what I like and my style so the others have got to go! It was hard because alot of it is things I have bought within the last year or so and are new and never used but they are taking up space and stealing my creativity!! So i just got done posting an ad on craiglist to sell that box. It feels so freeing! Anyone local who is interested here is the link: http://sandusky.craigslist.org/art/655909744.html or just email me. There is some good stuff in that box but it just isn't for me anymore. I need room to buy more! (JK......kinda!)
I also want to point out someone's blog that I love. Erica was on our DT and she does great work. I love her cards and she just made up some more goodies for us using Paper Salon and Maya Road. Check out her blog at www.ericasartisticattic.blogspot.com . (Hope she doesn't mind!!)
Ok, have to go back to doing some work! Have a great weekend!!
