Productive Weekend

WOW... what a productive weekend I had. Well lets start off saying that recently I have redone the guest room. So, As of right now it is no longer a guest room, It is officially my office/craft room. And boy what a difference does that make. Before it was such a struggle to want to start a project because I would have to drag everything to the dinning room table. Then before I went to bed I would have to put everything away even if I wasn't done yet because if not my little girl would get into it all. Now all I have to do is close the door & everyone knows the room is off limits. And when I reenter the room I can start right where I left off.

Anyway, I was able to accomplish quite a bit. I finished a scrapbook that I had started almost 4 years ago, created a card & was able to put pictures in a frame that I purchased last Christmas that holds 10 pics & circles around the word family. Had it not been for converting my room I wouldn't know when they would have all been completed.

Below are some of the scrapbook pics (currently only the journalism is missing). Also, I included a pic of the card I made.

My Favorites

Below is a pic (Click on pic to enlarge) of some of my favorite cards that I have learned to do with my friend Vilmarie in previous workshops over the past couple of years. She's awesome & always there to help & teach new creative ideas that I will be passing on to you at my workshops. Can't attend one of my workshops. NO Problem. I am willing to work with you & arrange a time that works best for you. Whether it's one on one or you can host a party at my home or yours. Options are limitless. Contact me today for details.

Pictures

Thanks to Mom, she had her camera at my sisters workshop & she just emailed the below pictures from the event to me.

Finally Back...

Ok... I'm finally back. Sorry haven't posted anything the past couple of weeks. I had been really busy getting ready for my workshop at my sisters house which was on April 7th. I would like to say Thanks to my Sis for letting me have one at her place before her big move to Alabama. She just moved yesterday. Also, would like to say thanks to all the girls & Diego who showed up. Had a blast with you all. Unfortunately my camera is not working properly right now so I'm unable to upload the pics from the workshop. Will load them as soon as I'm able to get it up & running.
Anyway on top of getting ready for that, I had also gotten a bad cold which I ended up giving everyone in the family. Thankfully we are all better now.
Well, I'm off to plan for my next workshop...

Food...

Ok...so not only do we have fun doing paper crafts, we also have fun playing with food. Below is a pic of my daughter Angelina who decided she wanted to look like a clown to eat her silly food. So she stuck a bunch of stickers on her face. I on the other hand thought I be a little creative with the hot dog & make it into an octopus. She loved it.

Pigs Fly...

So a week has gone by & my sister still hasn't downloaded the pictures from last weeks workshop. I guess I have a better chance of seeing pigs fly before those pictures come through. LOL. Anyway, as I've mentioned before the camera I had took a nose dive into my daughters pool over a month ago (thanks to hubby) & it wasn't functioning at all. Everyday for the first week I would try to turn it on & it wouldn't work. Well, this week I thought I give it a try AGAIN & WhaLa it worked. Seems like it just needed a whole lot of time to dry out. So now that it's working I was able to take my own pics of the cards we made & post them to the blog. Hope you enjoy the ideas.

Happy Ending to a Long Week.

After a long & busy week, it actually ended very well. This weekend got to spend time with some family who came down from up north. Also had a wonderful time with the girls that attended my Workshop yesterday afternoon. They created 8 cards using the Big Shot machine. The machine was the highlight of the day along with the spritzing of shimmer paint. Never knew how a little shimmer on anything can put such a smile on someone's face. Pictures soon to follow of the projects. Unfortunately my Camera is not working thanks to my husband who accidentally dropped it in the pool. So now I'm waiting on my Sister to download the pictures for everyone to see. Anyway, I am totally exhausted. Need to go rest up to then get ready for my next event in August. Hope to see some of you there.
