Whooaaaa... Where have I been?

So I have been gone....disappeared, Practically invisible!!! Nahh the truth is my fine followers is that Me and the Mr. have indeed been moving into the new house. Annnd we been sick with the bluck and the bottom line is we aren't done yet with bugs or boxes but, hopefully will see the light at the end of the tunnel by kissy face day. Crossing fingers ...please please please.

Now all that being said , I thought I would share part of the grand adventure with ya'all. Starting with the fact that we have had possessions in literally 3 different spots "even different states" for 3 years....and it has got to be stopped or gotten rid of, else I will end up as a mini, reality tv, starlet being featured on hoarders! Have you watched that show? Uck! Whats worse is that I actually have family members over the years that have been just like that. My Grandmother (God rest her soul) was both a animal and a paper back book/Harlequin romance hoarder. When she became hospitalized and very ill my mother and sis went in the house and cleaned ...and cleaned and cleaned. And it stayed that way because every week after that ....They went back to clean. My auntie had my Ma and sis come in after seeing their fine work, to help her with her home. The large scoop shovel used to get the molded magazines off the wall and the riding lawn mower with a tree growing through it are still stories told at any and all family gatherings. What happens to those people after those shows?? Sigh , It's a mystery.

So here we are trying to gather, sort and toss. Now y'all know that the very hardest part about separating yourself from what you see as supplies is the fact that everything seen and gathered was once for a purpose to make something else..I mean heck...Do you all realize just how many uses a metal can has? I literally have no less than 4 full closets of reusable /recyclable items that are just too damn cool to part with. You know I will need it the very instant the garbage man taketh away "sniff".
Sooo hubby says this, I think it best if we get a couple cabinets out in the garage for your "alterables" he says,....So literally if you find something new to keep, he says....It won't clutter up your studio's and if you fill the cabinets then you know you have to either use up some stuff or get rid of some stuff , he says......   I say, DEAL! We shook on it and away we go.
So before I have to attend next seasons company Christmas party with Honey Boo Boo, I am off to organize.
Wish me big luck!

It's Monday!!!!

You'all know what that means don't you? It is time for another Love to Create Challenge sponsored by QKR Stampede  and Dreariedolls.

I used an image from QKR and the title is Bundled Up..I just thought how I had bundled my kids up so many times when they were younger as we spent the largest portion of their childhood in Nebraska and often even Halloween costumes had to be bought to fit over the coats and mittens. Hope you enjoy and a very Happy Monday Morning to you :)

Craft Club December 2012

This is the final of a years worth of craft club meetings.  What happens is that we have 12 or 6 members each taking a month to sponsor/host making a meal for all and bringing an idea and base supplies for your craft that you are teaching. And BAM! It's chick night with food frolic /crafting ..can it get any better???? This December was at "Diane the Awesome" house/ compound and we had open pit BBQ and Dump cake in cherry and apple and smores and ...did i say cowboy soup ? Good grief! Thank you again Diane and Eddie. Diane supplied us with various cigar boxes and we went to crafting. This is my result as I had to take mine home half finished because I talked more than crafted..and ate..and then talked and laughed")

Scor Pal & DCWV Autumn Melody


 Good day my friends! Today along with my fellow design team members I  am giving a shout out to Scor Pal and my beloved DCWV . We have all made you a project using both items to both inspire and awe.....Are you awed??? :) My little book is made using the accordian fold technique on my Scor Pal. I know you have all mostly seen this before but still love the results! Go over to my fellow design team list and click away to see all of these fantastic ideas from us ...Your DCWV design team inspiration guru's :)
(UPDATE) I am sorry I didn't put the details on here further ya all. The mini is 3 X 3 inches. It is the accordian fold technique some call it meander  and I have to admit than when searching,  out of all the tutorials I found,  I prefer Beate Johns best. So here is her link and do have fun. This pattern has been around since the ..well since Oragami was used to tie toga's...or sarongs..or kimono's You get the picture. Have fun!

Random Blog Blatherings

Today whilst getting ready to pack my studio....I looked around to realize WHolly CRAP! That is a lot of crap! You are all aware that I am hands down a 100% product ho..I can't help if a bag of newly recieved or bought embellies,  paper or a random tube of something in a bazillion variables makes me feel complete. I have hocked merchandise for so long now that I feel almost dirty....I do ..HONEST! Right up until that next random box comes to the door...you all know the sound. Vroom vroom vroom the truck gears down , then you hear the small squeal of the impatient driver opening the slide door whilst plugging the emergency brake.....By this point your heart is in your throat and the body pause has commenced....(inner) voice asking, is it my house or next doors?? BZZZZZZZ inner squeal as you shoot into action towards the front door ..always a small bit o fear that he will leave with out leaving the goods. Ahhh satisfaction. Yes this is a feeling I have long been addicted to and have come to the very brave conclusion that it isn't the stuff in the boxes.....BUT THE HIGH OF THAT KIND OF EXPECTATION.  Instantly I feel the kind of excitement that makes my entire body pee shiver ") I wish you all a pee shivering great day!

DCWV and the Bouquet De Fleur Stack

Bouquet De Fleur


This blue  is only one of the wonderful color families in this stack, it also features pink,purple, and green all with glitzy glitter and patterns to compliment one another. I also used this months LO challenge sketch to make this layout a winner! 

DCWV and the Neon Chic stack


 Today I am featuring for DCWV a Flutterby Mirror  I have constructed for my Granddaughters room. I made the butterflies using some punches and spellbinders with the Neon Chic stack . The Butterfly centers were made from blue moon beads and the mirrors themselves are our very own DCWV Home line. (please excuse the small smudge as i didn't realize till late that it was there. This project was super fun and easy and will look great on her wall!
