Paper Strips And Bugs....Oh My!

I have a couple of creations to share with you today, made with yummy supplies from the November Kit from Crazy Daisy Kit Co! First I cut strips to give this layout of my sweet Daughter a different kind of design! Not my usual style, but I think it turned out nice! This is a picture of Sasha on our trip back to Ontario a few years back!We had such a blast!

And here are a few more creations I made with the kit! Make sure you check out the Crazy Daisy Blog for a cool offer...to good to pass up! Their kits ROCK!

I love the Grungeboard in this months kit!

And I just have to add that New Moon was AMAZING! I loved it ♥ I can't wait for the next movie!

I ♥ Twilight!

This weekend I am going to be busy..busy...busy! Tonight after work I have to go the gym, I have been bad this week I only went once! I try to go a minimum of three times a week. And even though this month has been CRAZY with being in Vancouver....and Greg's scare I still lost 9 pounds! I was so happy! So I treated myself and went and got a cute new haircut! A inverted bob...with bangs! Usually I am nervous going for a haircut because they never do what I want, and that's probably my fault because I am never really sure when I go in what style I want! But I LOVE IT! So tonight after I finish getting washed up after my workout I am going with my Daughter and Sister to see ....I am really excited! Yes I am a Twilight fan and have read all the books....I really like Edward! Then tomorrow I have to go visit Mom to help set up her new Digital PVR. And tomorrow night is our Staff Christmas party at the bowling alley...it should be fun! Have a great weekend everyone!

Crazy Daisy Creations And A Winner!

I LOVE this picture of me and my Mother!I decided last year to scan all my old photos....and let me tell you this was a HUGE job! It took me months! But I now have all the photos I have ever taken and oldies as well all on discs. I really like my Mom's expression in this photo! All the supplies for this layout are from the November kit from Crazy Daisy Kit Co! Another great kit this month.

And this is a layout of my dear Daughter Sasha! I really love the cute owl ribbon....I decided to make a fun flower using the ribbon and a jewel brad for the center!

And now the winner of my little blog candy! I used random.org and got number 3 so the winner is............................... MAGGI! Maggi can you please email me your addy so I can mail out your prize. Thanks everyone for playing!

My Very First Crochet Critter!

A Girl Can Never Have To Many Buttons!

I have had some friends ask how I store my buttons and oddball chipboard alphas.So I thought why not make a post about it! If you know me.....you know I am addicted to buttons....no matter what I can never have enough! I guess you could say it is my weakness! So I was really excited when a while ago my Mother gave me this really pretty fruit dish! I knew as soon as she gave it to me what I would use it for! Lucky she knows about my addiction and did not mind that I never did use it for fruit!It is perfect...and I always seem to have room for more buttons now!And I don't know if you're like me but I was drowning in chipboard! I had so many open packages....and odd ball chipboard alphas that I would get so frustrated looking through my chipboard bucket. So I picked up this little organizer at Canadian Tire for tool bits....voila the perfect chipboard alpha organizer for just $20! I use the bottom drawers for over sized alphas and numbers. They had one with even bigger drawers....I am thinking of upgrading later.

I hope these organizing ideas can help you. I know I am always look for organizing tips! Have a great night!

I Am Addicted To Mini Books!

I really can't help myself! I love making them.....I can make one and a few layouts in one sitting! And I really love the minis that Jennifer and Kimberly put in the kit every month over at Crazy Daisy Kit Co!!! They are so cute like this little accordian album from Bazzill Basics! I decided to make a mini book about my family! lol my cheeky Niece Chloe!

And I think my next mini book might be a AAM Book. I have always wanted to complete one of these. I think it would be great for my Daughter to look back and learn a bit more about me. So this is on my must create list! What is your crafty list like....is there a project you've been wanting to start?

A New Obsession!

I have picked up knitting! I am working on my very first project....a blanket for our precious dog lily! I will make sure to post pictures soon. I thought it would be good practice! I really really want to learn to crochet though! My fab friend Maggi made the cutest amigurumi bird mobile....you have to check it out....it is simply AMAZING just click here!!! She also shared which book she used to make this wonderful creation!! It is Amagurumi Two by Ana Paula Rimoli. I am on the hunt for the first book because it says it is good for beginners....I can not wait to make some of these gorgeous and adorable little critters!
