WOW!! Post 300

WOW!! I can hardly believe that I have
posted to my blog 300 times!!
I have to admit I went back and looked
at a bunch of posts!! I'm surprised that
there are people who actually read this blog!!
THANK YOU!!
I know I haven't been posting very much,
but I just haven't been doing very many card
challenges as I was beginning to be overstocked with them!!
I have been doing layout challenges 
at sb dot com and having so much fun with it!!
However they get posted there in my gallery, 
so I haven't been posting them here.
Trying to decide if I should. 
At least for today, and in celebration of 
my 300th blog post, I think I'll share a few here!!

This first one was for 2 challenges:
Sb's monochromatic challenge-dust bowl 

These are a few other lo's I've done for challenges lately:






Thanks again for all the visits!!
Thanks for all the comments you've left!!
Thanks for being interested in my blog!!

I hope that each of you, have a 
wonderful, love filled week!!

Until next time..................tootles!!!

Cards Again!!

Well, it finally happened. I got bored and
decided to make some cards.
Takes a bit to get back into them!!
How is that you can go about making cards,
make a couple you really like, and then
totally make one that is not at all how you
envisioned it and really just don't like it at all??
Well, I seem to do it regularly!! *L*

Here's what I made:
(GREAT devotion there this week!! Be sure to check it out!!)
This card is a lift from Nicutopia over at sb dot com.
LOVED it!! I have a few changes, like the clock,
which is from 3tailscraft, that I embossed with brown
embossing powder. I just really like the way this one turned out!!
(It is really cream and burgundy, not sure why it looks so yellow)

Lollipop Crafts-wings. (see the little bees?? aren't they cute?!)


Crafty Catz-buttons and bows.

That's all for now!! Thanks so much for
stopping by!! Love to have you visit!!
Don't forget the blog candy
I'm offering in celebration of my
2 year Blog-o-versary!!
Be sure to leave a comment on the post
Blog Anniversary for a chance to win this *Blog Candy*!!

Hope you'll visit again soon!!
Until next time...............tootles!!

Old vs. New

Since I'm celebrating my 2 year
blog-o-versary this week, I thought
I'd re-visit a post I made 2 years ago today!!
Organization!!
I love being organized!!
I'm ALWAYS looking for efficient, in arms reach,
in a small space, solutions!!
Wow, that was a mouth full!!
I was looking back at some of my first posts
ever and saw this one: Scrap Space!!
I thought not much had really changed here
in my studio, but upon further looking,
there are a few things added.
This is what it looks like today:
This a pretty good overview!!
I'm currently looking for new storage that
will bring the plastic boxes down to a level
that I can reach them!! I'm short and have a
hard enough time just getting the bottom ones down!!

This is my paper storage. Well, 95% of it!!
There is actually 4 plastic bins on the middle shelf.
Then the 4 - 12x12 bins on the bottom.
Above that is more paper.
As you can see, I have a serious paper problem!!

These upper shelves have been put up since the last post!!
I LOVE them!! They are shallow and hold flowers,
buttons, glimmer mist, and few other important things.
Between the shelves on the wall and the shelves on the
floor, is my fabulous salvation army find!! 3 bucks.
It holds my inks and embossing powders!! LOVE it!!
The bottom sets of drawers hold a variety of things...
adhesive, punches, lettering, journaling spots, ect.

I love that most everything is just an arms lengths away!!
As I said, I'm always looking for awesome
new storage idea's!! I hope to sort out the plastic
box issue soon!! I am also working on a good way
to store my spellbinders dies!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and taking
this little old vs. new journey with me!!
If you have any idea's or suggestions for me...
PLEASE share!! Thank you!!

Until next time...........tootles!!
