Doodling Challenge

I blurred out stuff with names & home addresses, but you get the idea. I doodle, but nothing like what this challenge called for! Fun, fun, fun! :)

Victor, Montana Weekend Crop

Well, it looks like I'll be attending yet another weekend crop. This one is closer to home, and will be in Victor April 18-20.

Exciting, my friend M convinced me I should go, and so I am going to go. We're saying it's my Mother's Day gift. Which is fine by me!!

Should anyone be in the area, and maybe want to come- email me, and I'll give you the details.

*Plus, I have a crop in about 15 minutes... wahoooo! Such fun! Though, this is just a Saturday evening one, and will be my final hoorah before school resumes on Monday.

Clean room=ebay loot

I'll be ebaying it off.I am cleaning my room. I decided that I would hold nothing back. Things I know I won't use, things I've received from swaps, from "sales too good to pass up, " and just things that I've outgrown were thrown into a box all week. This morning, that box reached it's full limit. Plus some other goodies. Will end on Tuesday.

Wedding PBB

This book is for a July bride. Her colors are orange & purple, which I admit I was a little nervous about. Thankfully my trip to UT brought forth fab papers! I did get some additional ones at 2 stores in my area as well, but Logan had the gold!

I am VERY happy with the way the book turned out. There are 8 pages in the pockets and some of the embossing didn't show up very well. As everyone knows, pictures do scrapping little justice!

Did you notice? There is *NO* cardstock in this album, not even the inserts! It's completely out of pattern paper!!

Stamps: She's all that, Priceless, For a friend, Seeing spots, Friendship blooms

Happy Birthday B!

Just a fun card for my nephew. It pops open and inside the 2 folds will be some cash for him. I know he'll love that!

Everything but the ribbon is from SU.

Stamp sets: Itty bitty backgrounds, For a friend, So many scallops, Think happy thoughts

Your friendship makes my heart happy

Stamps: Bloomin' Beautiful, Friendship Blooms

Pro-adoption

We've missed having a dog, our black lab Junior was killed back in Sept, and while in Logan this weekend- we got the chance to adopt once again. I didn't have to think twice after looking into this little face. His name is Oreo, and I made my hubby take a picture of us as we came back into Montana and close to our home. Yes, it's snowing. Yes, we still have a LOT of snow. Yes, I hate the white stuff still. I hate it worse when we have to drive in 2nd gear!

Shopping fun!

I went shopping at a LSS' store sale- and wahoooooooo! So much fun, and with spring break being next week (even us teacher's get a holiday!) I'll get to PLAY!!! I got more stuff, but it's for a secret sister swap- so no pictures of the stuff that is mine/her's of the same stuff. Ha ha! Yes, I know for certain she visit's my blog. :)

Egg-stra Special

This was a fun layout to do! hand pieced bunny (have I ever shared HOW much I love PPing?!) stamping, glittering, coluzzle & quickutz were used to make it what it is. I do have to admit, took a picture before the glittering was dry. But- still turned out lovely!

Happy mail day!

Last night the UPS man was my friend. It didn't help that I was sta.lking him though. During school, at break periods to make sure that I was right in knowing he would indeed visit my house.

How sad I was when no brown box was waiting for me upon my return from a crazy day of school. That box was holding my glimmer of sunshine.

But, oh happy day when the big brown truck parked in front of our house. I yelped with glee, and then reminded myself that I could not play because of our TOPS meeting.

So this morning, when I was making sure I had everything I needed for the day, I packed my stamps as well. I spent my break & lunch getting everything ready, and tonight I shall play... in my dreams. No time tonight- but they are ready should I find some time! Tomorrow night I'll be going to "First Friday" in Stevensville (crop starts at 5:30- we'll be eating at Romeo's then hitting the crop) and there I shall stamp.

I have a busy month of birthday's coming up in April, plus a lot of newly found pregnant people to make congrat cards for... I need to get busy!

A little side note-- I have loved rub ons since.. gosh, I first bought some back in Central Texas, eon's ago. (Okay about 8 yrs ago.) It's amusing/horrifying to me how many people did not know about them till SU came out with them. But, maybe, just maybe, it makes me special, cause I have had the love for them FOREVER! My mom would probably tsk, tsk me, for having way too much love for this stuiff anyhow. :)

Cleaning up the room...

So, I've been working on my room slowly. The last time I posted any photo's of it was right after it was painted, and things were slowly, so slowly, starting to get put back where they belong. I'm still organizing- I have way too much crap, however as I clean, I'm going thru everything also. I made a HUGE headway last night. And this is what has come of it. I have a floor, a bed, and even a little bit of desk. Pretty amazing!!

I still love the colors, and have even decided that orange might be my favorite color of the time. I'm drawn to it now, more than I have ever before. I always thought of it as the ugly step-child of colors. But now, I feel the love for it.

Looks a LOT different that it did when I first moved up to Montana.... huge difference! Well, in color at least!
