Finally.....

Yesterday I got an email telling me that a "fav" site of mine was gonna have an impromto crop(http://www.2sassy.proboards102.com )... Lora was starting it with her first challenge.
I just HAD to do it but I didn't have the proper amount of pics, so I begged her to change it and SHE DID !!!!! Well I haven't done a LO in about 8 months....lol Ohhhh I scrap all the time , just been doing cards and ATC's.
Well I got it done last night and I really like it. Hope you do also..... TFL Sue

Today I'm gonna vent !!!!!

Hello...
I told myself I would try to always think positive when writing in here and guess what???? I am positive I need to vent....lol
First I love swaps... I just do and I love seeing all the new ideas I get from others .... But I have a major problem with people who say they are going to do something and don't do it.... If a person signs up for a swap, you should do it.... Or at least have the courtesy to bow out, not ignore pm's from others.... I am just grateful to having been in some wonderful swaps where the hostess is on the ball.
Needless to say today has been a not so good day for me.... But I did get some cards done for a swap Lora is running... One swap down and only 5 more to do for February....lol I not even gonna mention March.... Just gonna do 1 month at a time..... TFL !!!!!

Hi All !!!!!

Lots has been happening around and colds and flu is only "part" of it....lol I haven't got to be on-line or even scrap as much as I would like.... But I have gotten a few things done.
I am hostess to a Valentine card swap that I am ready to send back Tuesday (since tomorrow is a Holiday)


And here is my Alphabet Inchies for a swap that my good friend Lora is hosting...

And I have a couple more card swaps I still need to get done next 10 days....lol I will show those when I get motivated and do them......:) Sue

January 8th

Good Morning !!!!! With all the things I have to do today, guess what I doing....lol Writing in my blog....
I do have a good start on my day.... Laundry going, dishes in water, trash out by the street and my morning errands are ran... All things I do daily and try to get done in morning, so some of the afternoon is mine....lol
When I got home from doing errands , I was puzzled by a knocking I was hearing outside..... I found the reason, we have a tiny little woodpecker in the tree by house. Of course I was fascinated and ran in house to get my camera.....lol Well he was still there when I got back, but do you know how hard it is to take a pick that far away looking straight up in a tree.....lol Needless to say I didn't get my pic and he was very upset to be so bothered, but it reminded me sometimes it is the tiniest moments that make life so special...
Well those dishes aren't gonna wash them self, so I better get busy.... Maybe I will get to chat more on here later but most likely not today.... So have a great day all and remember to look for that woodpecker in your life too.......:) Sue

Last night I went to Mary's house so we could scrap together. We both got "some" stuff done , more talking and playing around with products. I brought my new "fav" heat embossing, which I am totally hooked on.....:) Well Mary isn't as thrilled with it... She likes things that are done in just a few steps, which is NOT embossing...lol But that is the best part of this art form,everyone likes different things . We also played with Glimmer Mist which I had never used before. This is something I want to do more "experimenting" with....lol

On my drive to Mary's house I was thinking about how everyone uses scrap booking items differently... And what is the "right" way to use them.... And I had to laugh, cause there is NO RIGHT way to do anything... ( Here is where I should say there is only MY way doing it...lol) But the truth is , as long as you are happy with the outcome of your art, it is the "right" way...
Sometimes when I get so caught up in all the swaps I am doing and all the magazines with all the newest things in them, I have to remind myself WHY am I doing this....lol It is so nice to get recognized and complimented on something you have done... But in the end this is MY ART and I am doing it because it pleases me...
And here is the last thing I have created an ATC for my Valentine swap in Cardmakers , TFL and I hope you will be as happy with it as I was...... Sue

Yayyyyyyyyyyyy!!!! I am packing up my embossing stuff and the other items I need for my ATC's cuz I am going to go a scrapping with one of my best "buds" Mary tonight....

I plan on working on my Valentime ATC's and just playing .... Another good friend of mine got me started on "embossing" and now I am hooked....lol And I bet Mary is also by time night is over.....lol

This afternoon I really need to make a "dent" in the book I am reading right now, Stephanie Meyers " The Host". I love reading and just loved her Twighlight series but this one is different. And though I do like it, it just doesn't read as fast... Sue

Today ,I am still fighting this cold but I really believe I have almost gotten over it....
I have been playing in my scrapping room getting ready to go scrapping with Mary at her house tomorrow...I know I can't take everything so I am trying to figure out what I want to work on... I have several cards swaps to get done and an a ATC swap...
I just checked my mail and I got a message from Jason that he received his can so I can post pics now. It was done for a "sweet treat" swap I was in and filled with scrapping goodies and chocolate.... It was the first can I have done and I really enjoyed doing it and look forward to making more.... Which is really good cause I also need to do a St Patrick and an Easter one also.....:) TFL Sue

Happy New Years

Today starts the new year of 2009 and I am sick.....lol
I promised myself I would post here more often and also post what I have been working on... I just finished my 1st paint can for a swap I am doing in Cricut. But even though I have taken pics of it, I won't post them till the person receiving it tells me they have gotten it... They should see it first...

Sorry such a short post but I really not feeling well....
Sue
