Crafty McCraftiness
The Prom King got me a Silhouette for Christmas (or more accurately, I purchased it on sale and informed him that was my Christmas gift). I have been having a really good time with it. Making tags. Making layout titles. Making cute little tee shirts...
I bought these cute little Peace tights a few weeks ago and couldn't find a shirt to go with them. So, I downloaded this little peace heart from the Silhouette online store and used some Dark Pink heat transfer material to make a shirt specifically to go with these pants. The pinks match perfectly. I would have gotten Cam to model, but she is using her unique 3-year-old ability to concoct her own outfits this morning (which means she is wearing a grouping of mismatched, seasonally inappropriate clothing).I also made some cute little star ornaments with Sculpey clay and American Crafts ZING! Embossing powder for Cam's teachers at school. They were super easy and very fun to make. The kids like to pick out the colors and pour the embossing powder on. I like to pour on lots of UTEE and watch it cook.
I printed a nice little Christmas phrase on a fourth of a sheet of white cardstock and attached the ornament with a glue dot. It looked kind of colorless, even with the ornament, so I took a light green marker and drew a little border too.
Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season!!!

Scrappy Goodness
Did a little scrapping this weekend. Heavy on the American Crafts.
More Layouts
I really need to do a 2009 recap post. Good riddance to the last year of the aughts.
Here are some layouts I have done over the last few months.

Praise HIM
God is GREAT!
Fabulous news today from the friend health front. Lots of prayers answered. Praise Him!!!!!
Had a great weekend out of town with some great girls. Got a lot of scrapping done. Used the Scripts kit and some new stuff from My Mind's Eye, American Crafts, Basic Grey and Lily Bee. They also had an AccuCut on the premises. Pics to follow soon.
Below is a picture of our "Door Desk". Brian did a FANTASTIC job on this. We got the door for the top and the shutters for the sides and the front from On a Shoestring in Bluff Park. Brian and my Dad did the skeleton of the desk over in my Dad's shop. Then we got a 1/4 inch thick piece of glass for the top from Nelson Glass.
As soon as I take some pics of my layouts and stuff I'll post them!

Happy Weekend All!
Good Sunday Morning! It's been a great weekend so far. The extra 40% off the sale price at Baby Gap has been pretty awesome. AND No Sales Tax (except for Jefferson Co. bc they are too poor to give up the revenue - their own fault really).
Got the hair CHOPPED off on Friday. Four inches gone. I went for the Ashley Olsen cut in this month's Marie Claire.
PK and My Dad worked really hard on our "door desk" this weekend. It's not quite finished so I'm not going to post pics yet. We still need to paint the insides and get glass for the top. I am going to dedicate an entire post to it soon.
The above LO is from the August Scripts kit. I embossed the Jenni Bowlin chipboard star with American Crafts Zing Orange Glitter embossing powder. I know the background paper is busy but I LOVED IT. I had to use it. I love the Sasafrass "extra" border at the bottom that I used as a little border for the picture.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
Hopeful - and possibly new hair
A fun layout I did for an AC challenge. I did not win. However, I don't think they pick the winner based on merit. I think you just enter and they draw. So, I'm not like sad or anything.
Very hopeful about some things this week. Letting go of some grudges and bitterness because it truly isn't worth it in the long run.
I am also hopeful that one day I will get this. Not any time soon, of course. But like by 2012 (which isn't that far off, really). It makes driving the crappy Accord that I have now worth it if I know this will be my next car.
Hopeful also that all the people I know that have big worries on their minds will find that the Lord answers their prayers, and that all the things they are worrying about will not come to pass.
Saw the Hangover this weekend. That was a funny movie! I love that Andy Bernard was in it and that he had a solo. I love the Chinese Gangster. I loved the part with the kid and the camera phone and the rematch with the taser. So funny.
Also thinking of getting my hair cut like this. She is my style icon even if she has a few screws loose.
Vegas, Work, HP and other stuff
Not too much longer before our Vegas trip to celebrate a decade of matrimony. I am still trying to talk PK into renewing our vows at one of the drive in wedding chapels. He won't budge. I mean, how cute and fun would the pictures be? Above is a layout I did about our last Vegas trip. It was heaven.
Busy days at work folks. Busy days. Blessed to have a job.
Saw HP with my parents Friday night. I really liked it. It made me want to read book 7 again. Unf, its at my Mom's and I forgot to ask her to bring it.
Scrapped my little heart out last night with some American Crafts goods. I am trying out for their DT again this year. Seriously, I am going to wear them down one day. Last year may have been the "good but not good enough" year but I am hoping I can have a victory in '09! Since I am addicted to Zing I used alot of that last night. A couple of lo's did not make the final cut, but I will post them in the gallery today. I still have to photograph them.
Weather is amazing here in the ham. What a nice blessing.
Busy as a Bee
We have been some busy folks here at the Casa.
Busy at work.
Busy being out of town.
Busy with birthday parties and school and what not.
Been working with the June Scripts kit (yummilicious! Cute KI, Cosmo Cricket and Oct. Afternoon Paper - the Thickers are mine).
So sad about Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett and Ed McMahon. So sad.
More to come later.
