Spring???

OK, I look out the window and I find it very hard to believe it is supposed to be Spring! I truly have never been so sick of snow in my life as I have become this winter. Enough already!!! Yesterday was our monthly scrapbook day and I worked on cards all day for a card exchange swarm coming up in 2 weeks. I liked what I did (granted it was a total lift but what the heck)...I did 15 of them all the same, assembly line is always easier! The flowers I used the Cricut markers and outlined them before cutting, I really like the effect. My recent goal was to start using scrapbook products that have been sitting? Well, the rust colored strip of paper was run through my paper crimper...haven't used that in a very long time!

Happy Easter!

Sharing a pic with you of Easter time when life was much simpler! That's me in the middle.

Have a wonderful Easter and share the time with good friends and family.

OK, I made a couple more cards. The rose card I lifted from someone on the MB, it is made with my Cricut using the Walk in my Garden cartridge. Just Because is done with the All Mixed Up cartridge and is actually a sample in that instruction booklet! I'm always saying I'm not creative, I'm just a good copier! But, I have fun anyway! Celebrate is done with stamps and embellished with stickles! Love my stickles! I used stickles on the rose also.

Craft Time!

So, the other day I wanted to make some cards with my new embossing folders! Then I got thinking about how many things I purchase for my scrapbook room and I mostly just use whatever is the newest! So to go with my embossing folders I pulled out my stamps, dusted them off, and started making cards! It was almost like they were new again since I hadn't had them out in a very long time.

So I made a goal for myself...every week I will do something, card making, scrapbooking, whatever, and I will put to use something I haven't used in a while.

Well, that gives you a clue how boring my life has become if telling you about card making is all I can come up with! Oh well, that's life in the old age lane!

Walk Now for Autism

As most of you may know my 5 year old grandson, Wyatt, is autistic. Salt Lake needs a loud voice to speak to the legislature and help to get more schools, more medical aid, more education about autism. Autism Speaks is a grassroots organization that has the ability to do that. There will be a walk on May 3 and if enough money can be raised we can get a chapter of Autism Speaks in our area. Please check out my link under the Autism Walk logo and learn more about what can be done. If you would like to walk with us or join our team please feel free. If you would like to donate to the cause that would be greatly appreciated also. Our team is called Wyatt's Warriors. Until Wyatt is able to speak for himself we will be his warriors and fight for this cause that is in epidemic proportions at this time.

Thanks for looking!

OK...Let's talk emails!

Emails are the greatest thing...how fast can you get a message to another person? Just a click of a button and off it goes! Even when you don't mean for it to go.

Have you ever put together an email that you had full intention of forwarding to someone? You are going to forward it because the email received and your message go together...you are forwarding it to someone because you are completely dissing the person that sent the original email...you are forwarding to someone who will totally understand the things you are about to say, and will totally understand how angry you are at the person who sent the original email. So you put your thoughts together, express your anger, say slightly rude things and totally vent...then hit REPLY instead of forward!

So, tomorrow I have some huge apologies to make...tomorrow I may not have a job...tomorrow I dont want to wake up.

Be careful with your emails. Make sure they are going where you intended them to go.
I'm going to bed now to cry myself to sleep with frustration!

Better & Worse

OK....for better...
At 2:00 in the morning I was still not able to sleep and I was thinking about the new shelf I built and how part of it wasn't white and it bugged me. (I know, you don't need to tell me how ridiculous that is) So I decided to get up and paint the shelves...then I decided to build a better base to put the bottom shelves on to raise it up and the Cricut could fit under the bottom shelf! Of course they were not white so they needed to be painted too. At 4:00 in the morning I finally decided to go back to bed.



Worse...
Then today I proceed to make a bigger mess! I found a set of 4 mini-albums that I haven't worked on in a long time and I got them out to figure out what I needed to do to get them finished.
So now I have decided to close the door and not do anymore damage to this room until Dish TV is finished with the installation on Tuesday then I can try to put it back to a workable room again!

hmmm...I wonder if my kitchen pantry needs to be cleaned out and rearranged!
