I have a few projects to share. I have really been getting into this jewelry making lately. I have a few things to post that I've made recently. This first one is the bracelet I have already<br />
posted. I just added a few beads to it. I went to a<br />
bead show recently in Nashville, my fist ever. I<br />
found quite a few things that I liked, and got a few.<br />
I really like the way it turned out.<br />

Tonight I made a bracelet by hand. I wanted a charm bracelet to represent my family. I still want to add to it, which I think is the beauty of a charm bracelet... I have on here right now a little boy and girl, to represent my kids, 2 dog bones for my fur babies, and some hearts to represent my love for them all, I couldn't find one for my hubby, so I will have to add that one later.Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-73923776798163834562011-10-18T10:37:00.000-07:002011-10-18T10:37:33.734-07:00A potential new hobby<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

So I have decided to try my hand at making jewelry. I was checking out the clearance shelf in hobby lobby a few weeks ago and came across some charms and decided to look. I ended up with a bunch of charms, of which I have only taken pictures of one. I made these earrings and I thought they were neat looking. I have posted them for sale on my local yard sale site. I thought about putting them on etsy, but I feel it's a little out of my league right now. Maybe in the future.Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-55923225617720087762011-10-13T09:35:00.000-07:002011-10-13T09:35:23.655-07:00More recent stuff...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The pictures really inspired the rest this time, again this one is a major catch up. About 3 years behind. I guess the important part is that I'm doing it now. :) </span></div>
<br />
The one to the right is for my daughters, my husband threw her up in the air, and she LOVED it! I like the background because it gives it a breezy look. And I like that it's all in black and white, I thought at first it would be too dark but I think it turned out ok. <br />

This last one is when we went putt putting??? lol sp<br />
I actually put a pop dot under the course I made so it sticks up. It's hard to tell but I used the lattice tool in the windmill on the blades, and when I peeled the blades up none of the pieces came out, but I liked it so I left it and I think it looks better than it would if I had popped them out. <br />
I also added text to a picture in photoshop. <br />

So... I have recently done a few things This one is pretty self explanatory, it's for my daughters album. I decided to do albums for my kids instead of a traditional baby book. I got the imaginisce i-rock tool and this is the second project I made with it. I made the butterfly on my PI. <br />
I really should learn better how to use my camera, I hate the lighting on some of these photos.<br />

This is his first bath at the hospital. My husband actually did it. Talk about playing catch up, this was almost 4 years ago! aahh I'm terrible. ; )<br />
<br />
<br />
I also did this one my husband snapped this photo of the kids in her room playing. I don't think she could even walk yet. I used a poem I found online on the tag. I don't usually have this much space left over, but I like this one.<br />

I absolutely love this one, with the bird. I used a file from the pazzles craft room. Actually the border is a file there too, I just multiplied it and welded it to make the border. <br />

His name is Boomer. Love him, he's such a sweetie! A little bit ago I caught him sleeping on top of our other dog, a shepherd... never thought I'd see the day when Tango was still enough to let a puppy sleep on him... Anyway, of course they moved before I could get the camera. On the subject of Tango, he had his 1 year birthday this week. Happy Birthday Tango~<br />

I had a period of time when I scrapped everyday! I know... amazing! Still not sure how I did that lol. Anyway first my favorite! I LOVE this page! I actually inked up all the leaves myself, and dropped them on the page from about 12 inches above to have a realistic falling look. I was so happy with how it turned out. One of the leaves is actually hiding an unwanted person in the photo. :D Love the little tricks like that. Plus, how cute is the squirrel. He is made from a file from the pazzles craft room... thanks for that.<br />

We had to create an overlay, and I did this. Not my favorite page ever, but cute. I had it worked out a little better in my head. :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I have to ask... or comment... whatever. I've been going through this period where I wonder if it's worth it to do this scrapbooking. I sometimes get a little stink from people about how it's a bit pointless to sit there gluing cut pieces of paper together to put in a book no one ever looks at. I ordinarily dismiss this as it is something I like to do, wether or not I'm all that good at it. Occasionally though it does get to me... I find myself wondering why I do bother. As they say, no one really ever looks at them. I post images online, and get a few comments here and there, but I'm certainly no one to cause a big fuss over. So that brings me to the question of when I'm long gone, will anyone care about my little projects?</div>Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-46803847463114170852011-06-20T09:20:00.000-07:002011-06-20T09:20:40.262-07:00My latest projectsSo, I have been slacking in my scrapbooking for a while. Only putting out about a page every two months... terrible I know. Anyway, I have been trying to catch up with some old pictures I already had printed out. This one is of my son, he got a police man playset for Christmas but he put the handcuffs on himself along with the guns and badge hence ... "Smooth Criminal" :)<br />

I did manage to get most of the way through a scrapbook page, and I hate to say it took me ALL DAY. I have yet to finish it, but after taking a break for a few hours I am back at my desk to see if fresh eyes can finish it up. Anyway, as my husband and I were sitting here watching the news we noticed the dog... ah the dog... fly hunting... one of his favorite pastimes. He literally stood staring at the sofa for 5 minutes watching this fly go around and around the cushion, and when it got close to him, he snapped... and missed. Then he proceeded to follow it around the room until he lost it. So funny, anyway I snapped this photo on my phone when he went to see if it landed back on the couch. I wish I had caught him before he snapped at it the first time... :) Good times.<br />
Well until tomorrow.Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-39615769071238582852011-06-17T09:28:00.000-07:002011-06-17T09:28:20.082-07:00Really wanting to get things going....So it's been a while since I've been on... seems like I start every post with that... well it's true.<br />
I want, no... need to get my crafting under way. I am behind about 2 years on my sons scrapbook and am not even done with my daughters 1st year and we're almost to a year and a half old now, so again not a good start to her book either. I have been thinking about ways to get things going... I found a few things I am going to do.... <br />
<br />
<br />
First is the 365 day challenge. I found it on a group post on cafe mom. It basically consists of taking a photo every day, or every week... for me it translates in taking a photo every day (in theory) and scrapping them monthly for my scrapbooks. I do a monthly one for my kids for their first year, but there's so much that happens after that that's worthy of being put in the book. I think we as parents get lot in the importance of saving memories in the first year we forget about all the milestones that come after that. Their hobbies, the changes in their personalities, and events. Things we take for granted in the every day but are still special and important. So, I am going to do this challenge, I started today in taking these photos a few minutes ago. Granted the day has just begun here. The first is the storms rolling in, we can just hear the sound of thunder in the distance. My son riding his scooter around the fire pit on the patio, complaining because it's about to rain and ruin his playtime outside, him and I taking a quick shot of the two of us. I love to take pictures with him... he still has his squishy little baby cheeks... :) I tried to take one of the dog with his stick but he wouldn't be still enough for my cell phone. <br />

I am getting muc better at doing girly pages. ;) <br />
I have recently been busy doing butterflies for a dear friends wedding, I think it will be very pretty when they get it all put together. I have barely touched the amount I'll have to make. Thanks goodness my Pazzles machine is a trooper lol... :) Anyway... I also found a new tool I want, go figure. It's the imaginisce irock tool. I saw it in a magazine and watched a few youtube videos on it. My local hobby lobby actually carries them, so maybe after next payday I'll be able to get it. {crossing my fingers} :) Either way I think a little sparkle could really help my<br />
pages.<br />

The challenge, to make one of the pazzles past projects you haven't made before. I decided to make the Easter purses, but with a twist. My daughter is really too young to have the paper baskets, so I wanted to make one for my son. I didn't want to do anything girly, so I used a dinosaur theme in it. Took me the longest to figure out the paper I wanted to use. :)</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"> I think on Easter I'll give it to him with an egg containing a dinosaur. </div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhAtp9xfwTloSJpoCPb3BqJQdy7FzhRDFI9KQZje2HJ2lT1qkfnA3afE23PgCBm2-GRflMsDwxVhAUUucXKPj-E1f5VO3tiQIDbXGG7ohKG8yNu3MBcVzugCddCxP2ys5L05_Gpyuke9s/s1600/IMG_1022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; cssfloat: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhAtp9xfwTloSJpoCPb3BqJQdy7FzhRDFI9KQZje2HJ2lT1qkfnA3afE23PgCBm2-GRflMsDwxVhAUUucXKPj-E1f5VO3tiQIDbXGG7ohKG8yNu3MBcVzugCddCxP2ys5L05_Gpyuke9s/s320/IMG_1022.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-33106139941318607022011-02-25T07:08:00.000-08:002011-02-25T07:08:43.735-08:00Finally back!<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq7BBVq53HLWMUqoxBwHon2r7c_of1eN6Ysj-dFibljb9mJxUA1vcCZmbSxV84PxnE0KEBDUNw5_9xrLWsXy3b1B5SD1Bi15LeNr7iRic1ieymMMlPoCfvV91TztMCtTcW0UbdUgzZ00g/s1600/IMG_0441.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="317" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiq7BBVq53HLWMUqoxBwHon2r7c_of1eN6Ysj-dFibljb9mJxUA1vcCZmbSxV84PxnE0KEBDUNw5_9xrLWsXy3b1B5SD1Bi15LeNr7iRic1ieymMMlPoCfvV91TztMCtTcW0UbdUgzZ00g/s320/IMG_0441.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">So, I have been down and out from surgery the past few weeks and haven't gotten to do much but the past few days I've really been in here trying to catch up on some of my kids books.

Hubby went in to take care of it for me and got me the COOLEST camera I've ever had. I've been eyeballing the SLR's for a while but haven't had luck in being able to afford one. ANyway, he came home with the Canon Power shot SX30 IS and so far I love it. Only been able to play a little so far as I just had surgery this week and still can't really move around a lot. I did take a few photos of the dog and the kids, and boy what a difference. He said it's my early valentines present. He was going to make me wait but, even he can't wait that long, he wanted to play with it just as much as I did.<br />
I am still pretty sore after surgery and so I haven't been on here crafting as much but I do have high hopes for the next few weeks, I can't really do anything else. :)Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-23484988266230107992011-01-02T07:23:00.000-08:002011-01-02T07:23:27.770-08:00New Years ResolutionWell I've never really been one who believed in New Years Resolutions because I figure why wait till the new year. The average person decides to change and sets a date to start. It's rediculous, why would you wait instead of getting a jumpstart on things. Especially the weight loss ones, why stuff your face and make it worse just because it's the holiday season when you could start the day you decide and lose starting then. Even if you did it for every meal except Christmas dinner it still would be better than trying to take advantage of those last few weeks of eating whatever you want. <br />
Anyway, off my soapbox.... I decided last night that I am going to change things. I need to fix a lot, and start acting like I'm not just floating through life without any purpose other than making sure the kids are taken care of. I have lost myself in housewifedom. It's time to take a look at what I want to do with myself, and actually do some things to become what I want me to be. It does involve losing weight, about 15 pounds. I would be back to my pre pregnancy weight of 110. I am going to get myself on an exercise routine and an eating schedule. I am going to look into what I want to be when I "grow up" lol and maybe go to school. <br />
This is going to be great. My plan is to become a runner... maybe... lol if I can.<br />
I have a few other things too, too many to list. But it's going to be great.

Anyways, it's a simple card but I think still elegant. I just used a gel pen for the gold words in the background, the snowman is a stamp and I used my Cats eye chalks to chalk the gold on the flourish at the bottom. I did make some other cards but can't post them yet.... ;) Once they are delivered I will post them. I can't wait!Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-61581474138332304682010-12-08T07:32:00.000-08:002010-12-08T07:32:34.582-08:00Christmas cardsSO, it's already the middle of December and I have only gotten 2 of my cards ready to mail. I need to make one or two more for people I want to add to the list. I have some really neat ideas in mind, I just need to make them. ugh so much to do, so little time. Ive had some personal matters to attend to, and a recent influx of medical issues as well. Life just doesn't give a break does it. Oh well, I can handle it. <br />
I can't wait to post pics of the cards I've made, I can't yet because I don't want them to see it. ;)Tonihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05129790552434089533noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-253531509369164549.post-55811289720136136352010-12-06T07:46:00.000-08:002010-12-06T07:46:00.408-08:00It's snowing!There's nothing better than waking up in the morning all warm and snuggly, and opening the windows to see it snowing. Big, white snowflakes falling from the sky, turning everything it lands on white.<br />
<br />
It's about 25 degrees here right now, and I love it. The cold crisp air, blowing snowflakes in my face. :) Heaven.<br />
I told my son I'd take him outside to play in it here in just a little bit. Right now we're sitting at the table by the window eeating blueberry waffles just watching the snow. The husband just left for work, and said as he drives it looks like he's driving into a blizzard. Reminds me of hen I was a kid living in Alaska. I wish I could go back. One day I will. Snowball fights, sledding ad skiing. We used to have snowball fights along the road we had t walk home from school. We would hide under the pine trees where the snow fell and made a little space under the branches big enough for us to crawl in. We wuld pop out like groundhogs when the other kids would walk by and pelt them with snowballs. Good times.

Found it online, and oh what I would do to have this thing! I want it so bad I can taste it. I have my desk in my bedroom right now and we have to block the door to our bathroom to have it there. Thank goodness theres another door to it from the hall or I'd have no desk at all. This one packs up to be soo small and yet is so big when you open it up. All I have to say is.... I WANT IT! lol<br />

Her husband is leaving soon on Deployment and I wanted to make her something to let her know that she wont be alone and I'm here to help. Support is so important in the Army, and good friends are hard to come by. Most of my friends are people I've never met online in the pazzles craft room and here on my blog. Anyway, I decided to go ahead and make a card for her. I actually like how it came out.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcBLUcRFrxtPFreCqk_C7uJGix6MfuXiVmmnuDAD3q8NrVC2pHEOAWolcpJBxZHnJ87IyU8WQWW0yg-sDE5hNC6cAckK-Be85eoYZ_-d6QuxKpcxnRlM4vRb8SbWlGJB6z2uAgJ_kesNE/s1600/DSC02816.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcBLUcRFrxtPFreCqk_C7uJGix6MfuXiVmmnuDAD3q8NrVC2pHEOAWolcpJBxZHnJ87IyU8WQWW0yg-sDE5hNC6cAckK-Be85eoYZ_-d6QuxKpcxnRlM4vRb8SbWlGJB6z2uAgJ_kesNE/s200/DSC02816.JPG" width="133" /></a>Is it strange that I want to be good at scrapbooking but I'm better at cards.... I hate that I'm better at soemthing I don't want to do as much.

She has another appointment at Vanderbilt Childrens Hospital this month so we'll see.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div>I haven't had much time for crafting, but that's about to change. I am determined to set aside time for me to do my thing. I have managed to make a few things. This Scooby Doo card I made for my neighbors son who had surgery.

I had posted an ad on a local site for me to make cards or scrapbook embellishments and got a response. They wanted a card for their daughters carnival birthday and so I created a ferris wheel card. Originally I planned to make a 7" tall spinning ferris wheel, but unfortunately my engineering skills left out the part about it being made of paper and so it well.... didn't work out. SO I created this.....<br /></div><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529464102166932930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQRGkpMQSJGwKOpP-OPXvYQpQ4YaEkqwBq4upAXkLvE3tHF0qms-jZLKWR7jsHPCfq3vHbgeIbLUadwvaWv1aBiJ47hphlAtB10edchZXsv2v_d_dlb1F370-QmjE8ZCEPwtPEHeuqLAU/s320/DSC02073.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529464105496856850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB8BeGFrSccIOLZ7FBQ4ziVGGh0drw5XK9PIJdXvzkbmINTGttk1eEoiahrbqOffDP0EAOgAeBc2YENy8BlU3Uz6qEQ0V9rl-iEenojZCGxbMjQ3vML6aIWnig4r97L1U5SgEWsJwJp6Y/s320/DSC02073.JPG" />The seats swing and everything. :) That's the coolest part.<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529464111110527410" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhApHmVgqis6mp0ecHeAYF8UAulgxWdRR9O0VialGOykQtYeO0QfLqu5EYNzVdwle5MFk923mCJ2YmwgV0Xz9GQkq9_-rURAH4eUkZjYyp85MTN36tCwBcMtmS0CApP_thM6I5FBvlaERY/s320/DSC02074.JPG" />I did make a alternate inside which I liked better but they wanted to do it by themselves.<br /><br /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 214px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5529465248044561602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFi7a1pbEqNuoPEk-GjrQOyVOSncASj-mb7JCuy5ZtW3A2_SKJGlHiGgnRg0W2mcHITbqYc058LV_H-EW56hYc7Sf-MFU6mD_BD_WCv4CXCjPRV-r0seZ4Ay5nYRt40j6F9kRmPuRW700/s320/DSC01994.JPG" /><br /><div>So that's what I've been up to. I made 13 of those ferris wheel cards and she loved them! :) It felt great to have my hobby come to some use. I have started an etsy shop and plan to start making some other stuff and try to sell it.
