Small projects, instant gratification and not too much anxiety if you make a boo-boo. Love them. We have a monthly ATC club meeting in the Wood with a few hard core regulars. Lots of fun!

Well, they are stamped, sewn, painted, etc. I am hot into emboiderying on all my stuff recently. Note the cross stitching on the heart MC card. I am also experimenting with transparency cards. They are a bit temermental, so we will see how that obession goes. One other item of note is making your own envelops. This is a very cool way to formalize your greeting card. Anyway...have a stamping great day!!</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8539187508677139949-6294749492487862516?l=imom-today.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>iMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15362997601210360867noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539187508677139949.post-90364625490499673422009-08-08T09:52:00.004-05:002009-08-08T10:22:21.081-05:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/Sn2X22JMGSI/AAAAAAAAADI/j8gP8a-wxLM/s1600-h/012.JPG"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/Sn2X22JMGSI/AAAAAAAAADI/j8gP8a-wxLM/s320/012.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5367613299398285602" /></a><br />I have the bigtime wants for a new house; bigger house.

Monday, I had to go back to work after a lovely 10 days off for Thanksgiving; quite the shock to my system. (First time in a long time I never even logged onto my work account to check out what was going on in my department.) As a result, during my vacation, I got lots of scrap projects completed and started. Today is my Friday off; where I work you work a 9/80 schedule so everyone on staff gets every other Friday off. So, for all the projects I have started, I hope to complete a few. I have attached a photo of my crafting desk. It is a mess, perhaps like some of you, and it has about 4 projects on there that need to be finished! A trip to the Junkie may be in order today. :)</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8539187508677139949-5177941035314276486?l=imom-today.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>iMomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15362997601210360867noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8539187508677139949.post-50230294176419020972008-11-28T08:59:00.028-06:002009-01-06T18:18:40.142-06:00<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAPf9xGl9I/AAAAAAAAAB0/RFpNQen1yVE/s1600-h/IMG_1414.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273732205481727954" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 214px;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAPf9xGl9I/AAAAAAAAAB0/RFpNQen1yVE/s320/IMG_1414.JPG" border="0" /></a>Thanksgiving at our house<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAPO3jz7jI/AAAAAAAAABs/AoyNAUz2bPo/s1600-h/IMG_1386.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273731911757590066" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 214px;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAPO3jz7jI/AAAAAAAAABs/AoyNAUz2bPo/s320/IMG_1386.JPG" border="0" /></a>My loving husband in his scrapbook room<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STANgADw_TI/AAAAAAAAABk/3PqI-Q0tVxk/s1600-h/IMG_1421.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273730007073619250" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 214px;" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STANgADw_TI/AAAAAAAAABk/3PqI-Q0tVxk/s320/IMG_1421.JPG" border="0" /></a>Buddy - the scrapping dog<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAMvPIfByI/AAAAAAAAABM/X_EwAB6bf3Q/s1600-h/IMG_1419.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273729169306355490" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 214px;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAMvPIfByI/AAAAAAAAABM/X_EwAB6bf3Q/s320/IMG_1419.JPG" border="0" /></a>Unfinished project-stay tuned<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAMfzeGS6I/AAAAAAAAABE/8umc3ybxkJU/s1600-h/IMG_1420.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273728904182778786" style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; width: 320px; height: 214px;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SOKY4zeiETQ/STAMfzeGS6I/AAAAAAAAABE/8umc3ybxkJU/s320/IMG_1420.JPG" border="0" /></a>Freshly made Christmas Cards</div><br />Happy Black Friday. I will not be at the malls with all the other folks today. Also, I can't go weigh in today....I gained two pounds by my scales, which is great since I ate about 5 pounds of turkey, dressing, etc. I am a Quick Weight Loss member and have about 5 pounds left to lose. They are not so nice when you don't follow the program. I think I will eat really good today, do a water flush and then go tomorrow. Instead, I will hit the "junkie" for some good deals and use my gift card Beth gave the new Design Team (and the 3 alternates which includes me). I am attaching a photo of some cards I made yesterday.
