Trick-Or-Treating 2011

My 8 year old son and his BMF went trick-or-treating together this year. I wanted to do a chipboard book for his BMF's Mom because she invited us over this year and had a little pizza party all ready for them. The boys like to play "Mission" and go into this elaborate land of make believe and it seems like everything they do includes a mission. So I lined up the pic's I took and came up with a story about how they were on a mission. My son LOVES this story and the mission. He wants me to make him one next, lol. I had a lot of fun doing this one.

I love that I had Harry Potter and Luke Skywalker Riley's to add to this book. I'm working on some more chipboard books now. LOVE these.

We made this with Jeep for a class project. The faux fur and pleather came from Joannes trim isle....less than $5.00!

The reason I started blogging again

What is this? It's the reason I started blogging again. My dear sweet Hottie made this for me. It's a light box to put my cards in and get better pictures. I need to learn how to decorate it up a little, but I just love how much better the pictures come out. He also taught me how to use some basic computer "fixes" to take out all the yellow and sharpen the images.

I have received several messages from people encouraging me to continue with my blogging or asking me if anything is wrong because I have not blogged in forever. Thank you so much for those, they mean the world to me.

Work hours have changed up a bit too, so now I have a day during the week, sometimes, to upload and blog. Sorry about the massive uploading today, but I have a feeling my uploads are going to be in fits and starts, lol. What with the new camping and all lol (see several blog posts down). So keep checking in, you never know where life will take me next! lol.

Thank You Debbie

Several weeks ago, I won blog candy from Scrappin my heart out. And I didn't want to touch it until I had a chance to take a picture and blog about it. lol. Debbie not only drew my name, but she also sought me out on Splitcoast Stampers and sent me a private message letting me know I won. I happened to be on a long weekend vacation with my family and picked up the message on my phone. Whooo Hooo! It made that time that much sweeter. Thank you Debbie! I love this CTMH scrap kit and now that I have posted it, I can't wait to use it. Love all the papers, the ribbon, the mini brads and matching pearls and my new favorite love....chipboard!

Thank You My Favorite Things

I won a blog hop on the last My Favorite Things blog hop and I haven't quite figured out how to navigate their new website. So my prize did not get deducted from my total. They were not able to fix that part, but they did throw in this adorable stamp in my order and I LOVE IT! And amazingly, I do not have it. lol.

I have been so lucky and blessed the past 6 months with blog hopping, prizes and blog candy, that I just felt the need to blog about it and thank each one individually.

Thank You Michelle

I recently won this blog prize from Stamps, Paper, Scissors, and Donkey Smiles blog. And my response won in the random drawing. WHOOT! Thank you Michelle, I love them all! And your card is so adorable, this pic does not do it justice.

Thank You to "There She Goes"

Thank You "There She Goes"! Not only did I win the adorable sailor boy stamp set, but I also ordered some cute stamps recently and there was a glitch in the system and my order was frozen in time for a few weeks. But after I emailed Jessica, the owner, not only did she send out my stamps that were then available with free shipping, but she also sent me the one that wasn't available (when it became available) absolutely free! Now who does that these days?

I don't know about you all, but I LOVE stamping and crafting and it is my "fun" time. So when things get all hassled up, it is no longer fun and then I usually give up on that and find something else that is fun. And it tends to bother me more than the ordinary stuff in life would because I don't have that much time for fun-me-time. So when someone does something above and beyond I am so touched and grateful and I find it so worth blogging about, lol. So I hope everyone will go to "There She Goes" website and buy a bunch of her adorable stamps. And if you are reluctant to buy on line, I would say this one is definitely worth the chance.
