I LOVE IKEA!!

Happy Saturday!! 

We finally had time to put my EXPEDIT shelf together that we purchased from IKEA last week.  Now I can't wait to get the room organized and the shelf filled!! Right now everything is still in the middle of the floor.  But, we are on our way to grab lunch and stop by Home Depot so that we can get the mollys and screws to hang the punch rods up. 

I can't wait until my room is fully functional again. 

Our local SS has a garage sale every few months and I have a feeling I'm going to be hauling a whole truck load of stuff over there to sell that I find I don't need!! Then that means that I will have more money to buy more stuff (ha ha).

Off to lunch!  Have a great day!  I'll post picks as soon as my room is done!

What a Mess!

It's been so long since I've blogged!

Since the last time I've posted, I've gotten married, finally got almost all of my "stuff" moved from my house to "our" house and I've been working WAY too much!!!

I didn't get scheduled at my pt job Friday night so, my DH and I took the day off our "real" jobs and went to Cincinnati for the day (YAY). I was lucky enough to be driven to Stamp Your Art Out, IKEA, Bath and Body Works Outlet and Red Robin (yum yum).

I have a HUGE mess in my scrap room! I was lucky enough to get the 8 "hole" EXPEDIT cabinet from IKEA--which before we are able to put it in my Scrap Room, I have to reorganize some things (what a mess!).

So, I've decided I need to take everything out of the closest and move things around as well as in the room! I never knew how much stuff I had shoved onto the four shelf cabinet that was in the closet--now it's all in the middle of floor! (I think my husband just about fainted when I told him I had way to much stuff!)

So, we moved a few other pieces of storage furniture around in the room tonight and eyeballed where the "punch" rails are going to go (forgot to buy the screws so Mike will hopefully be able to pick those up this week).

Hopefully Wednesday or Thursday we can get the EXPEDIT cabinet up the stairs and get it put together!!

My goal is to get everything organized and easy to use so that I will be able to scrap/make cards a few nights a week for at least 1/2 hour!!!

I was also lucky enough to buy some stamps from Stamp Your Art out and purchased some really CUTE stamps and I also got 4 new Riley's this week! I can't wait to color them in with my new Copic markers!

Fun Filled Scrappin' Saturday

Happy Friday!

I have everything packed up and ready to bring down the steps to load in the car. As Mike would say--I have everything but the kitchen sink ready to take with me for a day of scrappin tomorrow. My best friend and best "rent-a-mom" are having a "scrapbooking day" for me before my wedding. I'm not having a shower so, we thought this would be fun so that my friends could help my wedding album out by making a page for it!

I have three or four projects I'm taking to work on. I'm so excited to get a full day off work and do what I love! I had a nice relaxing afternoon --my boss let me leave at 1:00 today so that I could go get Mike's b-day present and then take him to get a pedicure (he desperately needed it!) and then we went to dinner.

now it's time to wake him and the dog up and go to bed. I'll post more later!

Have a fabulous weekend.

New Layout

New layout! Pam got my banner done so, I was able to figure out how to post it tonight. I'll try and write more later. Time to go to bed!!!

I got to scrapbook!!

It was our monthly scrapbooking outing Friday evening and all day on Saturday I was able to work on Wedding invitations on Friday (got about 1/2 way done) and then on Saturday I worked on my WE R Memory Keepers 6x12 album and was able to get it finished. I used my friends Life's a Beach Cricut Cartridge and I think I may just have to put that on my wish list now. It was PERFECT for the album! I can't wait to get it listed on Etsy. I was also able to get started on another Bo Bunny Chipboard book using the DCWV Green Stack.

Today, we have to load up the un-sold garage sale stuff and take it to my mom--my aunt is having a garage sale next weekend so, we are going to hope our luck is better down there than it was here!

Have a great day!

Busy Day

Last night I actually got to scrapbook for an hour! I got the "bones" completed on my latest board book. I'm using one of the new Little Yellow Bicycle Chipboard Books with Acryclic Cover with the Archiver's Exclusive We R Memory Keepers Summer Paper. It is super cute--can't wait to finish it.

Tonight I went to my house and loaded up some more garage sale stuff. With Mike gone, I can't work out in the garage because the dog just sits in the house and cries. So, I have a feeling I'll have to wait until I have help on Thursday night to get everything done! I always work better under pressure anyways!!!

I am going to get off of here and catch the dog to put her to bed and hopefully go upstairs and scrap a little!

Oh my Back!

So, I had to work from 11-3 today but, I woke up and could barely move my back was hurting so bad. Luckily we weren't busy so I got to go home an hour early (thank goodness)!

We were supposed to move my dresser to Mike's house once he got off work and were on the way to do that when he got a call for his "real job" (it was his week to be on call for the weekend).

So, no dresser, no garage sale stuff priced and only about 3 hours of "work" time tomorrow before Mike has to head to St. Louis for training. I think my nerves are going to be shot by the end of the week getting ready for the garage sale and having the dog all by myself for the week! Lord help me! Hopefully I will have some "free" time to scrapbook (ha ha). I may be getting up in the middle of the night to work a little!
