Christmas Paper Bag Book










So I have two full hours a day Monday through Friday where I drive my daughter and a friend to swim team practice to another town 20 minutes away. The economy being what it is I cannot drop them off come home and then go back to get them. So I take projects with me and fill up that two hours with my MP3 player and some alone time with my scrapbooking projects. The pool has tables in the foyer where I can spred out my stuff and jam to the music and work uninterrupted for two whole hours. Since I live in a house with 9 other people uninteruption is unheard of. Here is what I did yesterday with my time. I love the simplicity of the paper bag books and have been asked to do some for some of the kids on the swim team.

Handmade Bows


This is a bow I made based off instructions from another website post. The website is called www.howaboutorange.blogspot.com. If you post in the search engine bow you will come upon the instructions for making this bow. I love how simple this bow is to make and how you can totally personalise it to the project you are creating. I liked it so much a made a bigger version to go on my mailbox. Hopefully it will hold up till Christmas.

Fiskateer Lift

Brag Books



SO I liked these books so much that I made two more.

Cuttlebug Embossing folder giveaway

So the team over at Cuttlebug Challenges is giving away a new yet to be released Cardinal Embossing folder. I have to say I do not own a Cuttlebug. Ok I know what your thinking , for those of you who don't know my friends think I own everything scrapbook related but the truth of the matter is, there are things I do not own. I never got the point of the cuttlebug because I already had the Cricut and I couldn't see owning another diecut machine. I now know I must own a cuttlebug for the embossing feature alone. So check out this site and comment on the project so you too can get in on this giveaway.

Contest at BlueMoon

www.bluemoonscrapbooking.blogspot.com
This blog is having a contest and giveaways of 7gypsy products all week long so go over and check them out.

Thing I've done lately






My daughter Rachel and I attended our first online crop this weekend. They gave us a list of challenges to do and then drew randonm participants to win prizes. So here is what we did. The caramel layout Rachel did as well as the iris fold cat. Thanks for looking.

Christmas Brag Book





Over at Rubies Studio Maghan made a Christmas brag book and I wanted to copy it and show you my finished project. While she used squares for her cover I had all these coasters from Olive Garden that my niece kyped for me. We were there having lunch one day and I looked at the coasters and said I wish I had more of them because they would make a great mini album. Right behind me was this huge stack of coasters and we left with them. I dont advocate kyping the coasters while your in a restaurant so ask, more than likely if you have been nice to your waiter they will give you some. Anyways, last night while watching Megan make this really terrific accordian fold book it came to me that this would be a perfect time to pull out those coaster and use them. Meghan made her accordian paper a bit bigger than mine, I needed to make mine small enough to fit inside the circle. Mine is made at 2 1/2 inches while hers was 3. If you want to see the video she did, which is amazing, go over to www.aboverubiesstudio.com
She is giving away prizes for the new launch of her website so comment on some of her posts and maybe you will win. Thanks for looking.

Gypsy

Ok so I got my new gypsy and I LOVE it, love it love it love it love it love it, and did I mention I love it. I used it a lot this weekend and am so glad I bought it. I do however not love that it did not come with an instruction manual. It has been a little bit of a challenge to play with it when you dont know what you are doing.

Things I think I cannot live without right now

Things I think I cannot live without right now:

1.An ipod..as much as I love my MP3 player it just does not do all the things I want it to.

2. The Cricut expression and the Gypsy to go with it.

3. A vacation for the five of us...ie a cruise would be ideal so Chuck will stop talking about it.

4. All of my Bend friends to move here for the next four years until we can move back over there.

5. My church to transport itself here again until we can move back to Bend.

While all of these things are wants and I can live without them I am thinking that why should I have to live without them.

Must See movies

Ok so my sister in law and I went and saw the Proposal tonight. A must see movie. We laughed so hard we almost wet our pants. Whoever came up with this one was a genious and as for Sandra Bullock...wow unless she used a body double congrats on that figure at 40. I wish we all could look that fabulous at 40. It would make a great date night movie but forget that and go see it with your friends. You must make time for the things you enjoy or there will come a time and you will wake up and go where did my life go and then you''l come to the realization that it came while you were waiting. Waiting for all of the other things to get done all of the to do lists and the chores and the biils and the dishes and all of the other things. Me well I have decided to have the things I enjoy especially since my Mom always said I would be a cheap date. I love the old movie theatre that gets the movies after the big theatres have stopped showing them. I am totally satisfied with a Happy Meal and I get a toy in the bargain. Life just does not get better than that. I want walks on the beach with my man cause they are free and we both enjoy them. Three dollars for a day pass at the local lake and we are all set for a great day. Wait I'm not waiting anymore.

Awesome things to win

I just wanted to let all of you know that on Sept. 24th starting at 12:00 AM on HSN they are going to have the world launch of The Gypsy. I'm sure it's going to be great to see them demo it. Also you should check out the site Cutting Above at http://cuttingabove.blogspot.com/. You can enter for a chance to win a Gypsy. Good luck to all of you and have fun seeing what they do next

things I want to accomplish in this lifetime

Things I would like to accomplish in this lifetime include, going back to Scotland and taking pictures of all the things I missed the first time around. I would like to lead someone to Christ and guide them on thier journey to maturity in Christ. I wold love to see all my favorite bands in Concert and then get to talk to them and ask them what matters most to them to make their music so great. I want to go on at least one mission trip a year for the rest of my life. Its the only way to see how much God truly works in your life, is when you are watching it poured out into the lives of others. I would love to fund said missions trip without having to ask other people to help pay for it.I want to go to Ireland, its my ultimate dream vacation. You can have hawaii but I want Ireland. I want to see all my children saved and actively involved in ministry of some kind. I want to grow old with my husband.
