I'm back!

Hey crafty friends! Long time no blog post! Life got so busy for me...my mom fell right before Christmas and needed stitches and I was a complete wreck! She's better and now I'm back and trying to get in the groove of things!

I set a resolution to quit drinking soda and I've stuck with it! It has been 33 days since I had a soda and I don't miss it! I feel so much better...I am giving up snacking like I used to late at night and that is going great as well. 2012 is going to be the year that I lose weight and get to feeling better about myself!

I've been crocheting up a storm and have learned how to make wrist warmers, flowers & an infinity scarf. I've put a few of those in my etsy shop and in the next post I'll share pictures and the link to my etsy shop. I just wanted to come on here and finally update my blog.

Hope you all have a crafty weekend! ;)

Secret Keepsake Box

Hi all! Here is a project that I was inspired to create after seeing my friend Juliana's box that she made.

I used some invitation envelopes that I had purchased at Walmart, I also used my new favorite distress ink pad in vintage photo to distress the envelopes. The lace is from my stash, the flat back pearls and the butterfly come from Karlas001 shop on etsy, I can't remember where I got the pink/white roses and the pink tattered rose is from Frogfeathers on etsy. The French script stamp is from Inkadinkado.
I didn't take a photo of the inside of the "box", but after you watch Juliana's video you will see what it looks like.

Marion Smith digital kit

Hi Crafty friends! :) I recently bought Marion Smith's digital kit. Marion is the one who taught me about mini albums. Okay not in person but through youtube.

If you haven't checked it out you should go there right now and see it for yourself! It's reasonably priced and she will be adding new digital images that you can print and add to your little mini album.

Have a crafty day! :)

Happy Fall!

Hey Crafty friends! I just wanted to wish you all a Happy Fall! :) I am so glad that Summer is finally over! I just loathe the heat...the only good thing about Summer in my opinion is that you get to wear flip flops and capris! :)

YouTube Layout Hop

Hi crafty friends! So I'm participating in the YouTube layout hop again this month. The theme is to use your scraps. I found a picture I took of Noah at the beginning of the month when he turned 13 and found some of my scraps and put together this layout. Thanks for stopping by! :)

I used Shimelle Laine's sketch of the week for my layout. Here is what her sketch looks like:
