It's been a very long time since I posted on my blog and I would really like to get better about it.  I used to enjoy this so much.  Funny how life tends to get in the way of the things your enjoy. 

I've been busy making junk journals and painting rocks.  The newest thing is to paint rocks and hide them for people to find.  If you find a painted rock, you can keep it or rehide it for someone else to find.  It's lots of fun and I would like to say it keeps me off the streets, but you have to go down the street hiding those darn rocks!  :)

Last week I spent four days in Homer, Alaska at a scrapbooking retreat.  I didn't scrapbook any photos but I did work on a colorful junk journal that I think I'm going to LOVE!  I usually make junk journals with a vintage look and feel but this time I decided to go bohemian/gypsy/hippy and make it in bright/bold colors.  I didn't finish it while I was there, but I got a good start on it and can't wait to finish it up and see what it looks like.  Something new and different!  Will hopefully post photos of it soon. 

Ustream

Would love to do a Ustream class this week, but it's been insane in my house with spring cleaning, hubby having a day off on a MONDAY (weird) and scrapbooking going on. Will try to fit one in really soon....So dust off your rubber stamps, crank out the ink pads, pull out the dental floss and get ready! The next class I hope to be showing you how to make a passport fold book made from copy paper, stamps and ink and the dental floss will be what we use to bind it! Will let y'all know when I'm airing it! Hugs to all!

Card for Curt

Made this card for my sweet hubby last Friday when my friend Shell came over to craft. We always have a great time!

Craftroom

Craftroom redo is coming along well. Looking foward to having it done so that I can do another class on Ustream. I had to loan hubby my craftroom laptop until his puter is out of the shop, so it's a good thing I'm busy with reorganizing! Stock up on liqour bags everyone. The next class will be another liqour bag mini album, just a different fold! Hugs!

Yikes....Calgon, take me away!!!!

Hubby decided I could move some of my craft stuff into a room in our house that is empty and will one day be another bathroom. While I really want that extra bathroom, I'll take the extra storage for craft storage! He said he'd hang me some shelves up but we haven't gotten that far.

Today I decided that I could start moving book shelves in there (don't need shelving for those) so I pulled everything off the biggest set of shelving and pulled, tugged and dragged it in there. Dusted it down and got the stuff back on it (Minus a few things I'll donate to the thrift store).

My craftroom is a total disaster area right now, so no U stream class until I can get things moved around in the craftroom and get everything set up again! If I don't have jury duty tomorrow, will work on the room again.

Happy to be getting more room in there! Hoping I can come up with a better way to set up the camera as well! Will have to wait and see what happens. I'm exhausted and just want to take a hot shower and relax before I have to cook supper. Hugs to all!

Would love to have a ustream class tomorrow but it would have to be a fast one if I come up with something. Will post if I decide to do it!

Jury Duty

Was hoping to set up a class on ustream for this week, but I have to report for Jury Duty tomorrow, so don't know if I'll get selected or dismissed....so class is up in the air for the time being. In the mean time, collect some of those liquor bags and get ready for the next class!
