Be Creative

Neglected

My poor little blog is being so neglected. I'm sorry and i've been missing creating little bits and goodies to share with you all.

But life is plugging along for me, busy as usual with kits, kids, new floors and holidays. I've been doing alot of thinking and have some plans for the new year. Things i'll be bloging about. I'm excited to rexlax and enjoy the holidays in the next few weeks and i'll be blogging as often as possible.

Here is a new holiday card that I created for one of my online classes this month. A little paper collage with some of my most favorite holiday papers ever.

Off to keep cleaning up the craft room. I have a photo i'll have to post soon... it is so messy!

Looking forward to...

a day where I can get back to having fun creating and actually having something exciting to blog about. But, right now its just about getting the house back in working order. The girlies shipped off to be with the grandparents for a few days so this mommy and daddy can get some serious work done.

I have a bunch of boxes being posted this morning so if you are expecting something from me then it's on it's way :) I love shipping off boxes of goodies.

So speaking of shipping off some stuff. I'd love to hear your ideas. I'm currently thinking of a grab box of love stuff (hearts etc), you know right after Christmas the big "V" day will be here. Or I have enough stuff to put together a mini Christmas grab box. To late, your thoughts? And oh, how about a ribbon grab box? If I did it would you want it to be all matchy matchy or a variety? A wood stamp grab box? Buttons? Tell me whatcha want to see?

And and speaking of seeing did you see the new November Kit with the super adorable Sidewalk line from October Afternoon? They just have the best patterns, they are so easy to create with.

Hope you have a wonderful holiday week! May your blessings be many and your worries be few!

Still more cleaning

Crazy like a circus

Right now my life is crazy, turned upside down. It's a good thing... we are getting new hardwood floors installed this week! A little background, this "wood floor loving" girl married a "I will never own wood floors" kinda guy. Probably shoulda thought that out a bit more, but the story turns out happy. I don't know if he caved, he just loves me that much, he actually found some wood HE loves. I don't know, I don't care. I'm just excited and I can't wait to have them under foot! 

And let me say... I had to move ALL my crafting supplies! And there will be many-a-more grab boxes being posted in the next few weeks as I sort through all of it. 

Someone remind me why we are doing this right before the holidays?

Oh, and thanks for being so patient waiting for a winner. So congrats goes to Kelly Massman that said "I'm working today but hoping to do a little crafting! Cute card! Thanks!" 

Kelly just send me an email with your mailing address and i'll send your card out to you.

OK, off to find some important things I need, like my keys! Have a great day!
