Happy 29th Forever Tammi and a RAK

My cousin's wife turned 30 this year but didn't want to because that meant she was old and couldn't be a kid anymore. My Grandma on the other hand was born in 1929 so always says that she is 29 again. I thought yet, Tammi will be just like my Grandma and be 29 forever! I love this set out of the occasions mini! And I received an adorable card from Kemi over at KSS designs! Isn't she sweet!? She has some great stuff she has been doing with her score pal lately.

Day two at work was better than day one, hopefully day three is better yet! I guess that is good when you work from the worst day ever- it can't get any worse!

I received my order from TAC, had Taco Bell while watching The Holiday, cut stamps, sharpened 119 prismacolor pencils, cleaned up my craft room, watched the end of Because I Said So, and then slept until 3am this morning. Geez, don't you hate waking up that early. Oh well, Happy Wednesday!

SALEABRATE the Occasions Mini and being back to scrappin!

Found this card in the Splitcoast Stampers Gallery you can see the card here.
Had to play with this background and the delicious flower set out of the occasions mini. Totally diggin this color combo as well, found on this website which is a great resource and we all know how I feel about color! It is for SU! colors, but she also has a CTMH color combo site as well here.

So what I have been up to...

Unpacking and organizing my life.

Which I guess the best way to do that is through lunch with everyone. I have have been out to lunch just about everyday since I have arrived.

Began actaully scrapbooking again! I found a great store here a few years back and she is still up and running. Over the years a stamp store closed and another scrapbooking store. I attended the crop that was Friday from 6pm-12am and Saturday from 10am-12am. Met 11 talented scrapbookers and just about finished 18 layouts! I just need to add embellishments to them. I began putting photos to paper for my aunt's Disney Cruise album. I also need to begin my sister's wedding album and keep plugging away on Miss Arizona's album and of course the mustache book. So the "me" books might have to wait, or I could make some time to get motivated to do the others. We will see how that pans out.

She remembered- and I SALEABRATE

Few more days of SALEABRATION, had to use the ole' pearls I got with Toni on sale at Target. I miss our little shopping experiences. This card again created using scraps! I was on a roll huh!?

It is so nice to meet someone who says that they will do something and ACTUALLY follows through with it. Pauline sent me some binding pieces for my Mustache Book I have been working on for months (here for photo). I talked with her about what to bind it with and she had the perfect idea. I can't wait to share it once it is all complete.

SALEABRATE these sets- I am!

Two sets that I didn't love at first sight, but I think they have grown on me. Wanted to use the watercolor crayons on the Merci card, like the childish look it gives. Very whimsical like the set. And the friendship card is made from my scraps. After packing I realized how many scraps I have- GEEZ, I need to go through and use them or give them up. So here is my attempt at making them into something useful, not bad eh?
