life is what happens when you want to craft!


Apparently the stars aren't aligned for me to craft right now. I have been on a cleaning out and organizing binge. I am really wanting to scrapbook...and i really need to make some cards! Maybe over the LONG weekend I can manage something.

I am also considering...and exploring....taking over part of the kids' playroom, which they rarely use, for my crafty corner. Wish me luck. I have been purging toys and tossing things when the kids aren't looking. Sending things to Gran's.....she wants new toys there...and i want to get rid of some!

Hope you are all having a great week!

Saturday morning sex. I remember that.

Ok, seriously, let me know how the reclamation project goes, especially setting up Craftyville in your kids' playroom. I tried that once. It wasn't pretty. Luckily, we have a basement, which has served as a wonderful scrapbooking retreat, but the light down there is ABYSMAL for drawing/painting. And my son still snitches my paper shapers.

It's begining to look a lot like Christmas....

so i did it. Showed the web page to the hub and he said, "how can you NOT do this? It's writing, and photography and scrappin' all things you love! Sign up and merry Christmas!" so i did! I will be officially taking the Journal your Christmas online class starting Dec 1st. This is my very first online class ever! I have to say i am excited. I have already started getting emails since i signed up last night welcoming me and letting me know how things are going to happen. There is a forum if participants want to join in on the group atmosphere of that. I got a file on how to prepare for the class today, and we all know i am an over achiever so i will certainly want to be ready on Dec. 1 st for the BIG first day of class! I am so excited, my scrapbooking and memory preserving has fallen way behind lately and i do love Christmas, so i am hoping this will be just the kick start I need to get those creative juices flowing again! Wish me luck! always cyndi

ok, now for the bday hoopla details...here is the pin the nose on the clown game that we made thanks to my friend who was able to print this out for us.... here's the bean bag toss we made...isn't it cute? my DD kept insisting that the clown's face shouldn't be white...but she finally conceded! Here are my clown cupcakes. They didn't turn out quite as good as i expected, but hey..i get credit for trying to pipe little frosting clown bodies don't i? The pennant banner i sewed...i was super happy about the way this turned out..It makes me happy, i wish i could leave it up always! Here is the "spread"...cupcakes, ice cream, mini corn dogs, peanuts and popcorn! Remember that bandanna i showed you a few days ago...well here are the pants that i turned them into. I think they are sooo cute. I tried to stamp the clown from her invitation on her shirt..but even though i tried to heat set the SU! craft ink...it came out when i washed it. BOO! Here's...

Well, my DD has been home sick from school for two days but seems to be on the mend. Hopefully she will go tomorrow. Needless to say i have not done much creatively in the past couple of days. I do have some things to show you though. This is FINALLY the last of the Valentine's Topiaries! This one took forever! You can find the instructions on how to make this here: http://sarastudio.blogspot.com/2008/01/re-purposed-valentines-topiaries.html at this wonderful blog that keeps me inspired. Here they all are together with the last mailbox i made for ME! from my Target stash! Here is the whole fireplace area...i have a little bling on the screen that says "LOVE" from the Target Dollar Spot and two red velvet bows i got from WM after Christmas on Clearance. You will also notice the white plastic cherubs...I told you they would keep showing up! Is there another holiday i can use them for ? hmmmm.... And now for a little game. Can you guess what this is? Here's a hint. I ...
