Scrappy question #1

I was on the net earlier and was looking at scrapbooking supplies,(as normal), and I can't help but to be drawn to certain things. I love pretty much anything to do with scrapbooking, but its like I'm a paper-aholic! I have SOOOOO much paper, but I can't help but buy more when I see some I like. I always think, well what if I can't get it later, or what if I forget about it? So I always buy it! Terrible, I know. My mom even picks on me about it! I definitely have an over abundance of paper though, I can go and be looking threw my things and find stuff I can't even remember buying! But then I'm always like, Yippee!! I have something to play with!

So my question is to you, What item do you keep buying even though you have plenty???

Time passing....

Well time is passing slow here, we've all been constantly sick, everything from Swine flu, stomach virus, croop, and now pneumonia. Its crazy!! I love fall and winter, but at this point I'm already ready for it to be over!!lol Anyways...

Well looks like we have a winner!! Sherrie!! I will be sending out her book here in the next couple of days! I hope you enjoy! I know there wasn't a big response to the give away this time, but I'm going to keep trying! Hopefully things will pick up!!

I would love to do blogger BINGO one of these days but I guess will see! More later!! Hope everyone has a good weekend!!

Unsuccessful

Well I guess my first attempt at a blog give away was unsuccessful. I guess I'll have to try something else..... Not quite sure what though.........

Why don't we try just leaving a comment here on the blog and I'll put all your names in and draw one in a week or so? Sound better?? So leave a comment and everyone that dose will have there name put in the hat to be drawn to get the book!!
I'll be checking back!!

Waiting...

Well I haven't posted any words yet from the list for BINGO. I haven't gotten many e-mails with there lists added so I'm going to postpone it for another week and see how many people we get to play, and if we don't get more people we may just do this give away in another way.


Check out the candy list further down in the blog, pick 20 of them and e-mail them to me at: scarp_a_dot@yahoo.com

Once that's done and we get more, I'll start posting 4 words per day until Friday and then Friday-Sunday there will be 8 words posted each day.

Hurry we have until next Tuesday!!

Here's whats up for grabs!

Again and again and again....

Were all sick here at my house again!! It just keeps happening,lol. I guess maybe its just that time of year, but it sucks! Me, my mom and my kids went to Florida to visit some family last month and we all got sick there, stayed sick pretty much the whole time. My mom was the only one who didn't get sick, until we got home. We've been back for a little over 2 weeks and she's still sick and I've got it again to! Ahhhh. I always get it more than once, especially now that I have a little one in school, I guess I get to look forward to it more.

I do have to say that I'm loving the weather though! Its got to where its in the 60's in the morning and maybe in to the mid 80's by the time I pick my oldest up from school. It went from being outrageously hot all day every day, to this. And were all loving it. More out side time, when were feeling good that it.lol.

Well I'm going to go and try and re coop some and with in the next couple days I'll be posting a picture of the mini album that will be for the blog bingo and I'll post the 100 words.

New blog to check out....

I was looking around Etsy's Forums and promoting my shop, when I came across this blog.Akane Designs, She does featured seller interviews, free tutorials, giveaways, discounts, business tips and so much more! Right out of the forums that is.lol. So I went and checked it out and I love her blog! Shes got a great shop of her own as well that you can check out from her blog!

She gives you featured sellers and with the interviews its hard not to go and check out there shop! Her blog gives you so much to look at, Shes got it all together! I have to admit, I would love to have my blog together like her! Will see how that goes in the future,lol. But I'm doing better already! I've posted more this month than I have in a while,lol. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can stay on top of it! But check out her blog! http://www.akanedesigns.blogspot.com/

Interactive Blog???

Well I've been thinking about doing some give a ways here on my blog. I've got some good ideas from other bloggers and I think I've decided on Blogger Bingo! I'd chooses 100 words, post them here on the blog, You'd pick 20 of those words and e-mail them to me. Every day I'd post 4 words and starting on Fridays it would be double, 8 words for fri-sun. And back to 4 on Monday. And the first person to get a Bingo will win a free Mini book. So what do you think?? Well I wanted to see if there were people interested, so if you are interested, then add a comment to this post and I'll see how may are interested, the Blogger Bingo will start!

New beginigns....

Wow, is it just me or was summer extremely short?? It seemed to go by in a flash! I've been working on new shaped albums and of course the albums I've always done. I haven't added anything in a while though. I figured I'd make a bunch up and then add them. I thought I'd have a lot more time to do stuff too, But having the two little ones running around and being gone for a part of the summer and then getting back just in time for my oldest to start school! Whooo, its been a whirl when summer!lol I've been playing with some new stuff for me, like acrylic. Its fun to play with, there's so much you can do with it. And Of course I've been playing with lots of chipboard. I've been getting a lot of ne papers, ribbons and other embellishments.I've also been trying to get caught up on my own personal scrapbooking,lol. I dont think you can ever catch up, especialy when you have little ones that are still growing! Anyways...

Well hopefully I can remember to up date my blog here again soon, maybe even with some new pictures,lol. Hi to everyone who reads it and sorry for the long delays in between.

I've got more mini albums coming too! I've had these 5x5 minis for a while but it always bothered me that they sat open, so now I've added a ribbon so that they can be tied shut! Hope that makes others happy, I like it better at least.lol. I've also got some new shaped albums coming and other themes!!

Just so that everyone knows.....I love to do custom orders!!! Just contact me at my shop and I'll be more than happy to help!!

I must be lame...lol

I must be lame!! I can't manage to keep up with my blog, how sad is that?? I'll just have to try harder hu??

Well I do have a TON of new stuff that I'm working on!! I can't wait to get more of it up in my shop. This past week I added four new items! It had been a while since I had added anything, but there's that.lol But as of this moment I'm working on a cute little D-ring album. I've gotten some of the newest paper lines, so that I can keep current, but I still have my oldie that I love!

Well I'll write more latter....I'm thinking about getting a give away together, sound good?? Well I have tons to do, between work, family and my etsy shop, I'm swamped!! lol More later!!

The past few weeks.....

Well I haven't wrote in a while, but I've been doing quite a bit lately. I've took some time off from my shop and did some of my own personal scrapbooking. I have a lot to catch up on, which will never happen!! lol But that's ok, because then I always have something to do. I've also just recently got one of my really good friends to start scrapbooking and shes addicted already!! Lol. I did for worn her thought that it was addicting at least. She loves it and has now started her own album. Its always fun to add more people to the crops!!

This past week I went out and bought some of the new scrapbooking paper from SEI and My Mind's Eye. I love them, not sure exactly what I'm going to do with them yet but I'll find something, I'm sure of that! I'm waiting on some of the other products from CHA to come out either online or in the local stores so I can get them,lol. But I do have this little problem when it comes to scrapbooking paper though...... I love it and sometimes I'll keep some for quite a while, weeks, months sometimes even longer, before I can convince myself to cut it up and use it, a lot of it I just think is too cute to cut up,lol. But I think other scrappers have the some problem. lol.

But other then that we've all been sick at my house. The crud! Not fun!! It started out with my youngest having an ear infection and then my oldest started throwing up, and then it passed itself on to me and my hubby and then to my parents. I know its that time of year and all, but I'm ready for the crud to go away! I'm ready for spring! But then comes with that is allergies! lol If its not one thing its another, hu?
