Prima, Gesso, Glimmer Mists....... LOVE this!

Absolutely love the look of this project. The way the gesso resists color is great!

Catch Up Post

Okay, a lot has been going on and I've not had much time to post. I apologize.

Some family issues and lots of visiting has been fun but had kept me hopping and very busy.

A small water leak in the basement (luckily my craft room escaped pretty much unscathed) meant clearing everything out of the closet, ripping up carpet, digging up the front garden, my wonderful hubby working to find the problem, and fix it. (Great job, 'hon).

Busy, busy but all is back on track and since the closet is now ripped apart, we will redesign and make it a better and more useable space.

Went to a Scrapbooking Garage Sale last weekend and got some GREAT deals. Working to get my scrapbooking space all organized and functional..... watch for updated photos soon.

The Weekend Retreat is coming up in 7 weeks, and we still have a few seats to fill. Let me know if you're interested. There's more information available on the "Retreat Information" tab, or send me an email (ladybug.layouts@shaw.ca) with any questions. I'm working away on some dates for 2011!!!!

World Card Making Day on Saturday, October 2nd

Paper Crafts magazine celebrates the connections handmade cards create and kicks off the holiday card-making season. This day is set aside to offer card makers fun and inspiring environments in which to create by providing card ideas, tips, sweepstakes and ways to connect through store events, classes, group activities and/or individual card making. Annually, the first Saturday in October.

Do you have plans? Will you get together with friends? Attend a crop or event?

I don't have any plans yet. Suggestions?

Cricut Cartridge List

I just did some updates to the Cricut Cartridges List..... holy cow! There are a LOT now!!

How many do YOU have? I think I have 13?

Today's finished project.... a baby hat

Today I finished knitting a very cute little gray baby hat. I like the way it turned out.

Maybe I should move on to adult-sized hats? LOL

OMG, such a busy summer and hardly any time to "play" in my room. We had my sister and her family visiting for two weeks and we had a GREAT time!!! And yesterday we welcomed baby Zoey to the family!!!!! Mom, Dad, and Zoey are doing great!!!

Soon I will get back into full craft swing with plenty of projects planned.

Next weekend retreat is November 5, 6, 7 and I will soon be working on that. Drop me a note to let me know if you're coming and I'll make sure you're on the list!!!!!!
