happy saturday!!!

new catalogs!!!

my stampin up catalogs finally came!! woo hoo!!! i've been drooling over it for two days trying to figure out what i want, which is most of it!! so if anyone needs one, shoot me an email.

off to oogle...

friday...

so i worked yesterday and it was a crazy day. i knew i had today off and was starting to feel the effects of our first house payment made (yikes!) so i figured i could work extra. well, i offered, but they didn't need me!! so i'm off today in good conscience and i'm going to do a little homework and then craft my little heart out. here's what i hope to accomplish:

• i have one circle journal to do (and i'm a little intimidated because it is awesome and i don't want to mess it up!!!)
• i need to get a few flood cards out for the stamp shack (a flood is a rak kind of swap where one person is chosen each week and the rest of us "flood" them with cards...it's fun!)
• i need to just make some stuff using new stamps i've had for a while and haven't used
• i need to finish organizing my unmounted stamps

so i hope to get a few movies watched along the way. i want to see bridge to terabithia again. it's so good. anyone have any suggestions for a good movie to watch (has to be on dvd)?

entry for kim's journal...

in my circle journal swap. i forgot to post this when i finished it. it was a hard one for me. we had to think of 6 things that make us wierd, unique, etc. i could only come up with 5!!! i really like how this layout turned out, though.

new guest book...

i added a new guestbook to the bottom of my blog. please sign it!!

new space...

so i finally got my craft room to a workable level. it's only taken about 6 weeks!! anyhoo...here are the pictures. i still need to heft the gazillion pound metal filing cabinet up the stairs to store all my paper (which is still in the gray totes!). then it will be finished.

this is the cool organizer i found at ikea! it's perfect for stuff that you just can't figure out what to do with!!!

finally a place to have all my ink pads easily accessible!! the long wood holder on the top will hold all my unmounted stamps that i'm slowing converting into cd cases.

a place for all my ribbon. with the third drawer being empty to allow for expansion!!!

and the ginourmous tv i get in my craft room thanks to my boyfriend needind a 57 inch downstairs!!! i'll never have to strain my eyes again!!!

and my favorite part...the wonderful thing my friend julie made me to hang in my craft room. i need to put it up on the door. isn't it neat??

saturday night shuggy snacks {6-23}

to quote stamping bella..."mwahh!!!"

can't sleep...

argh!! so i think since i slept so much in the past day or two, i can't sleep now!! so i'm doing what i haven't done in a while and that is catch up on all the blogs i read. i've missed some good stuff!! so take a peak at the blogs listed on the side of my page...go on...you may find one you haven't seen. and if yours isn't listed there, leave me a comment and i'll add it!!

happy perusing!!!

ugh!

how am i sick again? seriously...the past 36 hours have been horrendous (i probably spelled that wrong!). i slept almost 24 hours straight, with slight interruptions from a) going to the bathroom a gazillion times (i'll spare the details!), b) getting more blankets cause i was freezing in 90 degree weather (i had 5 on at once) and c) trying to go to work, which i (bless you, heather) was able to come home from after everyone kept telling me how awful i looked. luckily my cute mom (hi mom! visit her here and tell her how wonderful she is!) came to the rescue this morning and brought me some gatorade, crackers and other essentials. what would we do without moms?

i'm beginning to feel like i may live, but the jury was out this morning. sheesh. so here's a little thought to brighten your day!

ocean's eleven shuggy snacks question...

ah...what to say about today...it's thursday and i'm off of work today. and tomorrow. hooray. two days off in a row. i've had a wierd schedule the past two weeks so i was working every other day, which felt like an enternity!! so two days off is bliss!! i also have saturday off, but might work extra. gotta support that stamping habit!!!

friends circle journal

i'm in a few circle journals at the moment, so i thought i'd post progress of them all. i've posted one of this swap before, but this layout was a little different. this is mary's journal and has now been sent on it's way. her instructions were to stamp what our favorite stamps are at the moment. the sign in page consists of tags for each of the participants. my picture is on the back of my tag. sorry about the sunny scan. i need to scan when the sun has gone down!!

and now a bella circle journal...

i'm also in a circle journal where we picked our favorite stamping bella stamp. here is what i did for becky's journal.

this is my first page

and this is my last page

it was a little bit of a challenge because i had my two page spread down, but had to do four pages. i hope everyone will like it!!!

holy sneezes, robin!!!

we are having a ferocious wind storm today. the wind has been blowing most of the afternoon. it has been so dry so with the wind, all you can see is dust!! so i'm sure with the dust and pollen in the air, people with allergies and asthma (such as me!) are having a hard time breathing!!! it probably doesn't help that i spent a few hours in my garage with a bunch of spray paint fumes!! i've been repainting an old filing cabinet to put in my craft room. i got about 3/4 the way done and ran out of paint!! so i'll post pictures when i get it finished!!

i have been sneezing like mad!!!

time for a new do...

i figured it was time for a change. what do you think of the new look?

email subscriptions...

for those of you who like to keep track, sign up for the email subscription to the side and i'll send you a little goodie!

email me your address, of course!

kayellwy won the prize from the paper storing suggestions but i haven't heard a word from her. i forgot to mention that they must leave an email address so i could contact hwe. so now, i have to wait for her to check and see if she won. if i don't hear from her by tomorrow (saturday, june 2) i will draw another winner. check out all the great ideas people have.

from now on, whenever i have a prize contest, i will throw out entries if there is no way to contact you.

sheesh...
