Update!

Yes, I am still here! I have been super busy lately. I have had some type of event every weekend. Every spare minute I have to craft has been devoted to making the kits for my mini album class. They are looking great! I have altered paper clips, made what feels like a billion camelot doop flowers, cut up bling and more! I am trying to do a few things up front so the class can finish a mini album in 2 hours. Not an easy task! I still have lots to do but I find it fun!

I will be selling a limited number fo kits for the mini album here on my blog!

The only down side of being so busy...I don't have much to share with all of you! I have come up with a great idea for another class. I can't wait to tell you about it!

On to my other passion: TV

Summer tv is always a different animal. There are only maybe 1 or 2 shows worth watching a night, if that! Here is what is on my TV schedule for summer!

Mondays:
*Last Comic Standing (Glad it is back!)
*Make it or Break it (cheezy, teen show but I Love it!, Don't judge!)
*The Closer

Tuesdays:
*Hell's Kitchen (I am kind of over this show but hubby likes it)
*Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-list (She is hilarious!)
*Hawthorne
*Memphis Beat (I will try it, but I am skeptical)

Wednesdays:
*Top Chef (LOVE!)
*Work of Art (Project Runway for artists - I like to see them come up with their ideas)


Thursdays:
*Glee reruns
*Burn Notice
*Royal Pains

Sundays:
*Next Food Network Star
*Design Star

Given that is far below my nightly average - I have more time to craft! I plan to get many projects done. More projects coming - I promise!!!!! I hope you are enjoying your spring/summer! What are your summer TV favorites???

Where have I been???

Well, I can't believe how long since my last post! I feel like such a bad blogger! I have been super busy. I have been planning and creating for the classes I will be teaching - secret stuff for now. So I haven't been able to share that with you...yet. It is my first time teaching a scrap class and it is challenging to make sure the project rocks, is within the price point, able to be completed within the time slot and did I mention it needs to ROCK! I am trying really hard to maximize my materials so people get the most for their money and walk away with something spectacular. This requires a balance of online and LSS shopping. Anyway, that's whats been eating up my scrap time.

As for the other time sucks in my life right now - job search, substitute teaching on my day off, work is picking up (finally!), tv and my hubby!

My current tv obsessions are as follows:

~Glee - OMG I love this show!

~LOST - final season is supposed to be answering questions and I have more than ever! So frustrating and addicting! Love it!

~The Mentalist - Patrick Jane is just so sexy to me - don't ask me why, it is mystery to me too! - just is. My hubby loves making fun of how I get a smile every time it comes on.

~Greys and Private Practice - I m really loving the story lines this season for both shows. So glad Izzy is gone!!! YAY!

Anyway, I am so sorry I have been MIA lately! I will try to do better with the posting. I usually don't like to post without a video but with time flying - it is a necessary evil! Don't give up on me! I am still here.


UPDATE: I am still doing the grungeboard series - I am waiting patiently for the new Tim Holtz texture fades. Once I have them in hand, we will begin! I have been planning that too and you will LOVE it! Trust me!!! Thank you all for being patient!!!

All Moved in!

So, we are all moved into our new house! Everything went smoothly with the move and we are now up to our ears in boxes! Isn't it crazy when you see how much stuff you really own?!? It was such an amazing feeling to sit on our deck with a drink and think, "Wow, this is OUR home!" Awesome!

Funny Cat Story ~

So, Finn was a bit upset about the move. He sat in his litter box for a good 10 minutes meowing until I dragged him out and showed him his cat tower (Something familiar). He was a bit traumatized and didn't come out of the office 6 1/2 hours. He then slowly began to poke his head out and eventually began to sniff and explore the whole house. He loves the stairs and barrels up and down them like a maniac! After he was in the house for a day and 1/2, we thought it was safe to introduce him to the basement. He went down 3 stairs and turned and jumped over the duck work and was running over the insulation in the ceiling of the basement. It was crazy! It was like he knew this spot existed. I certainly didn't see it or think after 3 seconds he would find it! We had to run and get stools to stand on - rip down the insullation and pull him out as he clung to the ceiling for dear life! It took 5 minutes to get him down! I swear never a dull moment with that cat!

Other than that excitement, not much going on except hanging rods and pictures, unpacking boxes and settling in. I think I may have underestimated how long it would take to get my scraproom in order. That has to be one of the last rooms I do and I can't wait to get in there! Motviation to get cracking everywhere else!

I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend!!!

Hey everyone! I am up to my ears in boxes and packing! I swear it is the worst part of moving! I am a pack rat and find it very hard to give things away. But Melissa has no trouble. Check out her great giveaway on her blog:

I am sorry I haven't posted in a while but as you can imagine things are CRAZY! We are set to close on my 30th birthday, August 31st and move on September 6th. I have my Cabana crop club this weekend and will be packing my tote along with ALL my scrap stuff! I will probably get 2 more videos in before the move but my blog will be on hiatus until September 13th. More on this later! New video coming on Sunday! See you then!
