It's been awhile

March has been a busy month here. I haven't had much time to update the blog so here goes...

I had friends from Indiana come and visit. We had a lovely lunch together and spent a beautiful day at the zoo with the kids.

The weekend after we attempted to have our own scrap-a-palooza with Tiki Laru and little sis Amy. Not much went according to plan but all was good since their brother arrived safely home from Afghanistan that weekend. :)

Last weekend we went bowling with little buddy's preschool class. We had lots of fun and I almost, almost, beat the man of the house. Is it cheating if we used the lane with the bumpers too?

I started (and almost finished) another online card class. It's called "Creative Chemistry" and shows the different Tim Holtz/Ranger products and how they work and why. It is definitely very interesting and I'm learning a lot of techniques.

I also signed up for a "card kit of the month club" through simonsaysstamp.com. I've been busy playing with my new goodies.

Enough talk. I know y'all really just want to see pictures of what I've been up to lately...

Reorganizing...again

It seems like I am in the constant search for the perfect organization/table set up for my craft stuff. I currently use an old desk that had a shelf on the top. I took the shelf off thinking that it would limit my room and throw a shadow over my workspace. With the recent addition of my silhouette I was pretty much forced to put the shelf back on. The good thing is that I now have more room for my laptop and lots of room for "stuff" underneath. It will be nice to have stuff right in front of me so I won't have to go searching around.

One of these days I will be satisfied with the way things are, but I doubt it. I also went through all of my carts and reorganized. Tiki Laru and her little sis are coming over Friday night and we are having a scrapfest at my house. It will be lots of fun and I've been looking forward to this since we decided to do it. Bring on the junk food, crass movies, and lots of creativity.

Just a quick update...

March is a crazy busy month for me. We have 5 birthdays, I have friends visiting from out of state, friends staying and scrapbooking, and at the end of the month I have a Hunger Games weekend planned. I shudder to think about what my house will look like come April.

Anyway, I did make some time to play with my new Silhouette and I must say that IT. IS. AWESOME. It was worth every single penny I paid for it. The software took a big of a learning curve to figure everything out but the possibilities are endless. The cuts are absolutely amazing.

I'm looking forward to experimenting with it a little more on Sunday and trying out the different features and I promise to post some pictures of some of the things it can do.

I must say it is a far cry from my Slice. It served its purpose and has been given a home with my mom.

Is it 4:30 yet????

I finally bit the bullet and decided to order the Silhouette Cameo. I love my Slice but the simple fact is that sometimes I want to cut bigger images and I hate the fact that I have to buy a whole cartridge for just a few images I like.

Anyways, I ordered it yesterday and as of right now it is on the UPS truck on the way to my house. I'm excited beyond words.

March is a really, really, REALLY busy month for me so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to play around with it. On top of school and work I have something going on every weekend. And by every weekend I mean EVERY Saturday and Sunday in March. I'm tired just thinking about it.
