I barely have time for my FT job, my family obligations, my family fun time, and crafting -- let alone time to blog about it :)<br />
<br />
This was worth stopping by for a minute....Silhouette Cameo. I want one. Bad. I've been angered by PC's latest suing spree and the restrictions placed forth on a machine that I paid good money for. So, I'm slowing making the switch. This would be a great way to start!! Go check it out!<br />

And by slight I mean that I was cramming to get things done and it wasn't cooperating with me very well. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but since I've moved to the boonies and the nearest store that carries anything even slightly crafty (read - Wally world) is 30 miles away this was very disconcerting. Then I remembered a video that I had seen online about making your mats sticky again with brake cleaner and adhesive. So I set out to try. What did I have to lose?<br />
<br />
I sprayed the brake cleaner on my mat generously. I then began to scrape away the old goo. A couple minutes into my project I was amazed at the stuff that was coming off....Then I began to realize, not only was the goo coming off, but the white mat behind it!!<br />

I've really been on the fence about it since it first debuted after reading everybody's initial thoughts and concerns but decided to finally find out for myself.

With the holiday season upon us I have the usual hustle and bustle associated with that. In addition, I started a new job last week. I'm super excited about it, but I haven't quite finished my days with my old job yet....Phew. Things are getting crazy :)<br />
<br />
So I thought I'd just pop on and post a couple of pictures of things to come. I've been cutting out pieces to slap together for my Christmas cards...<br />

I've found that I have NO IDEA how to store and organize my stickers. I've tried organizing them in a binder...in a clear folder....hanging up....I just HAVE NOT found a pleasing way to sort and organize them, yet keep them handy and (mostly) visible so that I remember to use them :)<br />
<br />
So I'm curious what other people do. Have you guys found a wonderful way to store stickers that works awesomely for you? And if so, I'd REALLY like to know your secret!!!<br />

</div><div style="color: black;"><b>(1) Have you ever been hospitalized? (OK, maybe that one isn't so upbeat)</b></div><div style="color: black;"><b><span style="color: purple;">Numerous times. I have quite severe asthma and end up in the hospital at least once a year with that...The local heath care community knows me on a first name basis :)</span> </b></div><div style="color: black;"><b>(2) What’s the last bit of good news you received?</b></div><div style="color: black;"><b><span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="background-color: black;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">Hmmmm....It shouldn't be this hard to think of....I guess hearing that my car was finally paid off was a BIG relief!</span></span></span></span></b></div><div style="color: black;"><b><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span>(3) Who was your favorite teacher?</b></div><div style="color: black;"><b><span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-color: purple;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: purple;">I've had a lot of inspirational teachers that became some of my favorites....My fourth grade teacher, who has since passed, was awesome....Rolf, Mort, and Jean in college were the professors that pushed me the most both out of my comfort zone and to realize what I had to offer as a person. I owe a great deal to them.</span></span></span></span></span></b></div><div style="color: black;"><b>(4) Do you sing in the shower?</b></div><div style="color: black;"><b><span style="color: purple;">When DON'T I sing?!?!? FYI the shower has great acoustics ;)</span> </b></div><b style="color: black;">(5) Describe the happiest day of your life.</b><br />
<b style="color: black;"><span style="color: purple;">The happiest day of my life, thus far, was probably the birth of my daughter. I may be a tad biased, but she's just the cutest, most precious being to grace the earth!</span></b><br />

Not exactly how I had envisioned them turning out, but I like them nonetheless.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">I just happened upon Cristy's site and thought it would be fun to participate and to get to know a little about me and my crafty buddies, so here goes!</div><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #006600;">(1) Did you play any sports growing up?</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="color: purple;">Perhaps it's more appropriate to say that I tried and failed miserably at basketball. I was awful....no joke. It may have had something to do with the fact that I was impressionable and didn't want to wear my glasses to games...and the fact that I was just too nice...Girls would try to rip the ball out of my hands or jump up and push me around with their tushes...and I thought, well gee, if you want it that bad, go ahead...much to the dismay of my team. Eventually, I found my true calling as a cheerleader and left the basketball playing to the big meanies :)</div><br />
<span style="color: #006600;">(2) Have you ever gotten an MIP (apparently people don't know what this is. I guess it's the dorky law </span><br />
<span style="color: #006600;">school part of me, sorry! Haha...it's a minor in possession)?</span><br />
<div style="color: #741b47;">Negative. No minor possession of any substance for this girl!</div><br />
<span style="color: #006600;">(3) Do you snore or sleepwalk?</span><br />
<div style="color: purple;">I've been know to bring down the house. I come from a long line of professional log cutters...I just do my small part to make my family proud.</div><br />
<span style="color: #006600;">(4) Describe your last dream.</span><br />
<div style="color: purple;">Some of the details are a little fuzzy, but I dreamed that we were having a family day at work and we had rented this ginormous inflatable trampoline type thing that we set up in a school gym. A bunch of people were inside testing it out and a guy from work comes up to me and tells me that he thinks he hurt a little girl when he landed on her...and then he left. Shortly after he tells me this, a little girl comes up to me with a smashed hand and a boot imprint on it. I carried her over to a table where I helped bandage it up and called the clinic to tell them I was on my way there with a little girl with a broken finger. </div><div style="color: purple;">After this all, I awoke quite angry at the guy from work who probably hasn't the slightest idea that he broke some little girl's finger in my dream, and then just left her to suffer. Does this ever happen to anybody else...somebody in your dream makes you mad and you're still angry with them when you wake up?</div><br />
<span style="color: #006600;">(5) What's the one thing you've been meaning to do that you just haven't gotten to?</span><br />
<span style="color: #006600;"><span style="color: purple;">One thing...Lordy....I'm going to have to go with giving my doggy friend a bath. He's shedding like horrible, but now it's too cold to spray him down and send him outside to dry off. </span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #006600;"><span style="color: purple;"><span style="color: black;">Let me know if any of y'all play! I'd love to see your answers as well!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
I picked up a couple of shirts at HL for the kids and then let them pick out a design that they wanted on their shirt. I used freezer paper to cut out the stencil and then ironed it onto the shirt. Then I put a piece of cardboard inside the shirt so the paint didn't go through and paint the other side of the shirt. I just used a foam brush for the larger areas and a small paint brush from my stash for the outlining and faces. And voila! Here's the finished products :) PS...ignore the time stamps on the photos, apparently I need to fix that!<br />

I think not!Hi all!<br />
<br />
I know that I've been a little MIA recently...I had some work stuff to take care of as well as my regular mommy and wife duties. But I missed you all too much to stay away FOREVER! So I'm back with a promise to be more regular in my posting. I love seeing what you guys have created and love taking inspiration from your projects...Hopefully mine can do the same for some of you.<br />
<br />
Also, if you could, I would love you to stop by my friend Michelle's website <a href="http://totally-stamps.blogspot.com/">http://totally-stamps.blogspot.com/</a>. She's got a lot of nifty projects over there that she's created in addition to hosting challenges and card swaps! You won't be disappointed!<br />
<br />
And here's a quick project of mine....It's a scrapbook page that I'm redoing because I'm not happy with the white background.....<br />
<br />

It's July and I've just finished my first Christmas card! Now that may be of no importance to y'all out there, but this is a big step for me :) Only 8,323,435,667 (slight exaggeration) more cards and I can be satisfied with my holiday bunch.<br />
<br />
Here's the one I've been speaking of...<br />

How long have I been married? Only four years, eleven months, and two days....I think I just have that underlying doubt that I won't be able to do my special day justice...I know, I know, craaaaazy.<br />
<br />
When I saw the sketch for Mojo Monday this week, I knew exactly what I had to do....<br />

It was actually taken at the reception hall after our "I dos". It's one of the most endearing photos that somebody snapped with a disposable camera. <3<br />
