So here is the plan....

famous last words on my part..
ok this is the weekend before the long weekend.
Goal to start the scraproom reno the long weekend.
What has to be done prior to that.
Finish purging and cleaning the upstairs.
Well what is left upstairs..
Spare bedroom and living room (which has been a dumping ground for everything) and the sunroom.
Can I pull it off..I am sure a normal person can..me..Ms. Procrastination..well if I have a deadline I'm great at stuff like that..and since I have a dead line and would love to be able to scrap and see what I have then yeah I think I can.

So this weekend need to finish upstairs and then I can start boxing up all my scrapping stuff..and I am hoping to purge as I go too..the joys of buying a bunch of rubbermaids was brillant on my part. I'm going to approach this whole thing by the blog (it's listed on my blog list) "my love affair with a label maker"..that is the theory anyway.

But I will group like things together and put them all in one container so when I go to put them away I can just have one container..yay..also this way I can see how much I have of one thing when deciding on the storage method..and really how many cupboards I need..this is going to drive me nuts this whole process but it will be worth it.

Silhouette

I got one!!!
I had a great time downloading images for it.

SOOOO....

Cornish Heritage Stamps are going out of business. Today is the last day to order and guarantee what you get..

Jackie and I had a little fun ordering last night..their 6x6 scrapblocks are awesome (already own two)...

Great quality product..it's to bad they are leaving..

BUT...I think I might have found a QK Silhouette...very excited..

Now my reno on my room is hopefully starting in two weeks..
I can't start it until I have upstairs of my house dealt with..but that is ever so much needed motivational push..lots of new stuff coming..orders have been made..can wait to actually use my stuff..not just look at it..

And I need to update my inventory list..

Hey anyone heard of Dreamweaver Stencils and paste..that is my new..hmmm..I'm trying that out thing..

Well I have started going thru blogs..

I went thru Imagine Thats..so far..and wow if you don't already look at that blog you should check it out.

And Trish..thanks for the message..I am back..
And some R & D moments need to happen..I miss doing R & D at my LSS..
I purchased some new books as well and there is some stuff in there that kinda pushes the limits and lets just say it involves clay...Jackie is thinking about it..I know in the end we will try it out..

Anyway ladies..I hope to have some pics to post. I did make some tags back at the end of May..tried out all the new Tim Holtz colours..yes I have the complete 36 ink set..new colours are great..finally a grey.

Ok two post in two days wow..

After a long hiatus

I think I am almost back.

I have never STOPPED buying product..so I am still up to date on all the stuff...
I have now the resources and time and energy to do a complete overhaul and rebuild of my scraproom. (This is exciting)...

I will have counters and cupboards and funky colour painted walls.
I can build the scrapbook room of my dreams (or well what will fit in my 11 x 11 room.

My goal is in two weeks to start emptying my room and preparing to paint!!!!

I WANT TO SCRAPBOOK

I am so looking forward to getting back to my hobby..

I have not visited too many blogs recently and that is on my list..so too all my scrappy friends..I haven't forgotten about you I will go back and see all the work you have done.

I have lots of new techniques I want to try..I am hoping to start maybe posting a lot more frequently and well just getting creative and messy and dirty..

Scrapbook Store Road Trip

I am SO looking forward to this coming weekend. (All weather pending of course)
We are jumping in a vehicle and going all over the place to about I think 5 scrapbook stores. Shopping Shopping Shopping.

I am even considering getting a digital cutter system..QK's that is.
Something normal.

I am on a stamp mission..I want stamps and QK dies!!!

Scrapbooking after Death

Most of my followers know that Mason died.
And if not. Mason died. (My husband)

It has only been a couple weeks.
But I have had time to think of a lot of things. And one was Scrapbooking.

Initially I just thought about all the stuff in my scraproom and said I can never touch that stuff again.

Now I think what else can I do with my scrapbooking stuff...

And then I remembered why I initially got into scrapbooking for my family tree.
So now I will have lots of time to work on that and scrapbook the info.

Eventually I will scrapbook "us". Our wedding album was never complete. And one day I will have to do that.

I know I am just rambling.

Scrapbooking Resolutions

I think these are more attainable then the other ones that we make at New Year's.

I have a couple soooo far..And this list can be ammended and changed as necessary.

1. Visit my blogs lists more and post some comments.
2. Post more on my own blogs.
3. FINISH MY SCRAPROOM.
4. With number 3 done I will be able to scrapbook more.
5. Stamp off all my images into a binder to make an inventory of my stamps.
6. Update my idea binder.
7. Try out some techniques
8. Try to scrapbook during the week. (again with No. 3 done I can)
9. Put together page kits.

Wow..I thought there would be less of them.
