a few samples, as promised

Here are just a few pictures, as I promised, from assorted projects over the years. 

This one is from the 7 Gypsies Library of Cards.  It was a class kit, an all baby boy album, but this was my favorite "page".

My first Tim Holtz Configurations Box.  My daughter frequently would hide her precious rocks, so I made her a display box.  Yes, she has a box of rocks.  Insert your own jokes below.

These lovely little tins were made for my daughter's 8th birthday, I believe.  I filled them with assorted giftcards and played Mom's taxi, driving a couple of girls around the neighborhood to Claires, Blockbuster and the nail salon, etc for a day's of event and then for pizza.  They had so much fun and the tins were a big hit.

A few scrapbook pages to honor my children.   

Coordination Cards - great cardstock!

And just a fun little project

I hope you enjoyed.  I'll have more up in a couple of days.

Sunday cleaning

Today I took on the task of cleaning my scrapbook room.  It's often a task I do when I need to get my head back on straight or need a little me time to think, which was a little of today, but mostly it was prompted today by a garage sale find from yesterday.  A lovely little paint caddy we found and so the hallway and my desk and the floor was in total upheaval. 

It's now 7:42 and the closet and parts of the room are looking good.  The desk and a few remnants of the room need to get back in order and I can feel the creativity burning back inside me.  Here are a few pics of my insanity, but I'm not sharing how dirty it got... at least not on my second post. 

I know it's hard to tell the closet is clean, but it is!  I wouldn't be showing if it wasn't.  And the paint caddy/spinner thing on the floor.... that's what prompted this whole thing and then it didn't even fit in my room. 

I'm very proud of under my desk.  Can't show on top of it right now, but under it is lovely!  I actually have room for my feet and the furbunnies are gone!

Next week I'll try to load some samples of my projects. 

2012 is a new year.

2012 is a new year for me.  I'm trying new things.  Stretching out.  And this is just one of those many new things.  I have many friends that blog.  I always thought that I didn't have a reason and who would read my blog anyway.  And then the strangest things kept happening - when I would chat with people at craft stores (Joann's) they would ask if I have a blog.  These people don't even know me, but when I said I scrapbook, they just assumed.  So I thought, why not.
