TGIF

Okay, this week is NOT going as planned.

Work has been CRAZY!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday Craft Night turned into shopping at Michaels night.  Some great deals and fun, but not very productive.

Wednesday Craft Night was cancelled and I did NOTHING and don't even feel guilty about it.

Yesterday I had an appointment after work and then stopped at the mall.  Lucky me, I found the boots I wanted on sale, and then I found some much needed clothes at one of my favorite stores.  Turned out to be my best day all week.

But I wonder what today will hold.

TGIF...... Happy Friday!!!!!

Today's Tip! - Just GOOD Ideas

  • Running out of ideas?  Check out magazines or catalogs.  There are plenty of ideas here, including colors, patterns, even layouts.  Such a great source of inspiration!!!!
  • In baby scrapbooks, include labels from formula, baby food, cereal, etc.
  • Save your scraps.  The can be used to mat a photo, create an embellishment, or even make photo corners by cutting them in half diagonally
  • Take your child's shirt or favorite blanket to the copy store and make a color copy (on acid free paper). You can use it as personalized background paper.

Crafting Tuesday

It's Tuesday and tonight is Craft Night.  Fun!!!!  What shall I work on?  Need some ideas!

What are YOU working on?

Happy Hump Day

Ah.... Wednesday, the halfway point.

I didn't do any crafts last night but did get caught up on a couple of things.  Tonight is another Craft Night and this time I will work on a project or two.

So looking forward to it!!!!!

Good Morning, it's Craft Night Tonight.... shall I?

Hope you all have a GREAT day.  It's Craft Night tonight but my Craftin' Cousin is in Mexico.  Perhaps I'll still go down and work on some canvases.  Or maybe I'll make something else.......  I haven't decided yet.

Happy Friday!!!!!

Oh, Friday..... I have missed you so....  Welcome back!

My plan for tomorrow morning.... sleep in.  Other than that, some house stuff, paperwork, and some crafts.

Last night I attended the finale of Victoria Idol and, while I am no where near an expert in the field of music and, admittedly, did not attend any of the events leading up to the finale, but were the judges in the room?

Really?  12 "finalists"?  One should never have made it that far and, while the other 11 were good, I think the top 3 were really the top 2 and maybe number 5 or 6.

Oh well, I was disappointed last year, and again this year.  Don't think I'll be back to watch... but, never say never!

Happy Thursday!!!!!!

Alas, no crafting for me tonight for it's VICTORIA IDOL NIGHT!!!!!

So looking forward to a night at the Royal Theatre and seeing "my girl", Ashley singing in the finale!!!

But have a GREAT day!
