12 Days of Christmas

Good morning everyone! I hope you are having a great start to the holiday season and if not then I hope that it gets better for you.:) Well, I have decided after truly thinking deeply about it that I am going to do 12 Days of Christmas. This will mean that starting Dec 1st I am going to post a new post of some type of Christmas project. It can be a card, scrapbook layout, home decor item: something Christmas related. I do have to say that it will probably be more cards then other projects, but I do hope to have a few different ideas to offer. I have been wanting to do this for a couple of years now and my health and time have finally permitted it. I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer as far as projects and maybe even inspire someone. I get a lot of motivation from other people's blogs when they complete similar ideas such as this so I am hoping this does help as I complete the projects each day.
Thanks for letting me rattle a little. I hope you join me tomorrow as I post my first project. Thanks again!

Quick Update

Well here I am. These last 2 weeks have been a nightmare gone really bad. I hurt my back a week before Thanksgiving and still was not back to normal by the holiday. I was unable to move and didn't leave bed much. I did have 1 of my sons over for Thanksgiving along with 2 of his friends which was very nice. This past Monday my back took a turn for the worst and I ended myself up in the ER. After spending the day there and taking steroids for the past 3 days, I am feeling a hundred times better. I'm not quite back to my norm but I am on the way there thank goodness.
I have a special event happening starting on 12/1 so tune in then to see what I am up to. Thanks and see you then!

Happy Thanksgiving

I want to wish everyone a wonderful and enjoyable:

Happy Thanksgiving!

Turkey Card

Here is the Thanksgiving card I am sending out this year that I said I would post today. I made 5 cards in this style all together. I did it in assembly line fashion which helped a lot. You wouldn't think that they would take up so much time, but they did. I am also working on some others including some Christmas ones with snowflakes that I will post later. But here are the details for this card:

• Cricut cart.: Create A Critter
• Paper: Bazzill
• Ribbon: Offray
• Cuttlebug: Swiss Dots
• Punch: Marvey/Uchida
• Adhesive: 3M, Scotch

I'm Back!!

Wow! I can't believe that it has been so long since I last posted. I meant to post the after video of my scraproom a week later, but...

I lost all motivation to do anything crafty related. I don't know where I lost it, but it couldn't be found until only a few days ago. :) I have depression along with a few health issues and when one of these health issues act up then the depression kicks in big time. And when my depression kicks in then all motivation goes bye-bye. What has helped the most is I have started selling my cards at a local shop. And now with the holidays coming I need to get some of my card sets into the store for sale. This has helped somewhat with getting my motivation going in the right direction. I have a few ideas that I can't wait to get going on and should start as early as tomorrow. I have been working on Thanksgiving cards that are almost done. I'm waiting on some clear bags and boxes that I ordered online to get here so I can place them in the store.

Well, that is enough for now. I really needed to get this out so that I can get going on one of the few things that make me happy...crafting! I will have some new pics up tomorrow/Saturday. Thanks for reading this. :)

Scraproom Before Tour Video

Here is a video of my scraproom that I posted on YouTube. It's just a before tour of the room before I started doing some cleaning. I have been working all week on it and will have an After Tour of my scraproom sometime at the beginning of next week. Enjoy and please leave me comments about what you think. Thanks!

More Layouts

Here are 2 more layouts I have completed the last couple days. Suprisingly I didn't use any Cricut cuts on them. Hmmm I must be losing it. Lol. The top is of my Savannah cat Keyka and the bottom is of me and my friend's newborn baby girl Brittany.
