Good morning! Hope everyone had a wonderful week! Mine was great. I was able to take the day off work from my full-time job yesterday and attend a wonderful Copic Class. I had already been certified but wanted to take the class again to sharpen my skills to be able to work with one of the other certified ladies at my part-time job to make a class curriculum and teach Copic Classes! I was able to meet some really wonderful ladies as well as learn a few things!! I brought home a long list of blogs and websites to check out!
I haven't had much spare time this week to craft anything but, hopefully I can get some more cards made and posted on Etsy in the next few days! I am secretly hoping it rains all day so that we are "stuck" inside and I can play in the scrapbook room :-)
Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!!

Fantastic Friday
It is a beautiful Friday outside! I wish I could take the day off work and spend it enjoying this wonderful weather! It even got so hot yesterday in the house that we had to shut the windows and turn the air on! The way our house sits, it soaks up the sun all day and there wasn't any breeze blowing through the house. It was crazy!
I was fortunate to be able to meet up with a wonderful group of friends last Saturday and scrap. I worked on cards all weekend and mailed some out to family and friends and posted the other on Etsy to hopefully sell!!
My cousin called me last night to tell me that my "niece" was heartbroken. She had gotten my card yesterday and was so excited about it. They put it on the dining room table to enjoy and Lauren's little sister Lilly decided to climb on the kitchen chair and get the card. It ended up turning into 5 cards instead of 1. I got a tearful thank you voicemail for Lauren telling me that Lilly ripped the card up that she loved. It was so heart wrenching she was so upset! So, I think I might have to make a card this weekend to send to her. They are both so precious to me, I can't have one of them upset (ha ha).
Tonight I'm actually off work and am going to have a dinner "date" with my husband and some friends tonight. Tomorrow I'm going to go give blood first thing in the morning and then I get to clean the house (which I'm actualy looking forward to). I'm hoping to get some things boxed up for Goodwill as well as organizing the scrapbook room (hopefully finishing that project). Mike is going to "play" tomorrow with his friends and help build a box for a hot tub. He loves building things and playing with the power tools :-)
Sunday we are going to go to Mike's parents and enjoy Easter dinner and then go home and relax and watch a few movies. Thi sis one of the first weekends in a long time that will have more than a few hours of relaxation--I'm super excited!
I wish everyone a blessed Easter and hopefully I'll be able to post some pics of my cards I've gotten made recently! My goal is to get one image colored a night so that when I do get to put them together, I can make multiple cards to give away or sell!!

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.

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!
