Long time no post

Well it has been quite some time since I have made a post. Since we sold our house and are waiting for our new one to be completed I am not able to get a lot of crafting done. I am going BANANAS!!! We put all my crafting supplies into storage...only after my loving husband agreed to get a climate controlled storage facility. Well lately I have been buying more and more crafting supplies again. I just hope I do not have too many duplicate items sitting in storage. There was no way I could go cold turkey though. So even though I have not made any cards lately (which is my most favorite thing to do) I have been busy doing some other things. I decided that the colors for my new craft room are going to be black white and turquoise. I am repurposing bins, making over a filing cabinet, and crocheting a blanket specifically for the craft room. I will post some pics of those items as they are completed. I am getting rather excited as the house is nearing completion. We have walls inside now, and the brick and stone are up on the outside. I can not wait for the house to be complete so that I can get in there and get my craft room decorated then up and running.
Well I have made this long enough. I look forward to getting back into posting on my blog, and reading others.

Have a fantabulous day!!!

Life without crafting lately

Well it has been a while since I have posted anything, and it will be a while longer. We have placed our house on the market to sell, and plan to get a bigger one..I am very excited about this because I will finally have my own craft room. No more pulling stuff out use it then have to pout it all away again so we can use the table to eat. However, until we get the new house all my crafting stuff is in storage. I have so much that it was easier to pack it all up. I told my husband we had to get a climate controlled unit so the weather (heat here) did not ruin anything. I am bummed because I can do any crafting at all, but I so look forward to my new craft room. I have been scouring the internet to get ideas on all the storage that is out there. I have also been looking at other craft rooms for inspiration. I will still "stalk" other blogs and such because I don't want to miss all the new gadgets and gizmos as well as any new tips and tricks. I have a list of all the new things I must buy once I am settled in. I will be sure to post pictures and such once we get in the new house. Until then we are just waiting until someone put an offer in on our so we can move forward. I look forward to seeing all the projects you all create.
Thanks for stopping by and letting me bore you for a moment..Have the most wonderful day!

Been away for a while

Well I have missed stalking blogs for a while now. Life has been crazy busy lately which has given me no time to keep up with my blog, or look at anyone elses. I am ready to get back to it though. I have missed it so much. I have started making my christmas cards finally...I am behind the curve on this as well. One of the things that has had me so busy is a college class I am taking. My final is next week then I can focus focus focus on my Christmas crafts. I am so looking forward to see what everyone has been up to since I have been MIA..
Have the most wonderful day.

Room Makeover COMPLETE!!! YAY!!!

My daughter's room is finally finished...We have worked on and off for several months to get everything done. We did this for her 13th birthday. We needed to change the little girl things to teenager stuff (sniffle sniffle)...I was able to go in and change everything while she was gone this past weekend so it would be a little bit of a surprise for her. The only thing that I did that she did not know about was the clock that I made. Needless to say she was so excited when she got home. She had told me a 1000 times how much she loved it. I am so happy to have done it for her. She is an awsome smart girl that deserve all the greatness in life. Now for the pictures. The first two are before then the rest are after...but I am pretty sure all you wonderful people would have figure that out ;)..

Thanks for stopping by...Have a wonderful day

Invitation

These are the invitations we made for my daughter's 13th Birthday. This is the theme we are re-decorating her room in. They turned out great. I can wait to see her room when it is all complete. We have been buying things, and refurbishing items. The weekend before her birthday we are going to go in take all the items out (those left that we did not refurbish), and put all the new in. She is so excited and cant wait. The only thing that she is currently allowed to have before the room makeover is the new chair we bought for the room. The rest she has to wait for.
That is about all I have for now.
I hope you have a wonderful day!

Retirement Card

This is a quick retirement card I made for someone at work that is retiring this week.
I used coordinations paper, cuttlebug, K and company butterfly and Cri-kits.
I wanted it to be simple yet elegant. I think I accomplished that.

Thanks for stopping by to take a look...Have the most wonderful day.

Link Up Love Party with K Andrew
