autumn begets winter

oh…. how I especially love this time of year.  My mind is very creative, but my productivity is low.  I need to kick it into gear.  If you want to send me an inspirational papercrafted project to put on my blog, I will gift you something from my hobby room which is in much need of purging. (example:  free plates for the cuttlebug, stamps, stickers, paper, etc, etc)  I am coming out of retirement!!!!

has it really been that long?

lordy lordy…..

I need to get back in the groove…it has been so long.  I need some encouragement…any one up for a few kind words and a little inspiration?

be well

do good

week long crop on Just Scrappin

Pinky is hosting a week-long crop over at Just Scrappin. She is offering up some beautiful prizes as well as a very nice environment. I have offered up several challenges there myself!

I think I am half-way back!! Lets scrap!!!!fall card challenge

this was inspired by a magazine cover…the take-home concept for me, was the elegance and the simplicitiy…and here you go!

Well….only a few more days for the drawing at VanillaJoy and this is a BIGGIE! Is there a papercrafting alive that could not put this to good use?

We are getting ready for a week long scrap on Just Scrappin with fun prizes, challenging ideas, lots of laughter and skill levels from beginning to super extra advanced. No seriously…..drop me a PM here for more info. Craft on!!

desk caddy

Several weeks ago I was on a friends website and she had this really great tutorial on making desk caddies.  It was so easy and so fun I made two.  Now don’t get me wrong….I enjoyed myself but am not a perfectionist. For a great tutorial and to learn how to do it the right way, visit www.blueyecicle.com.deskcaddycropped.jpg picture by scrap_hag

Fun because they are:

less time consuming!

usually easy to do!

very portable (stick one in your purse!)

I posted an album recently on Just Scrappin–my spot on the net for crafting and visiting.  Address is:

www.pinkyscraps.proboards88.com .  This is a very enjoyable, no drama board!

now if this isn’t the cutest sign ever!!

It wasn’t really a scrappy day.  I did some sorting and cleaning in my scraproom but nothing clever.  Gumby (my husband) started his bowling league tonight.  It seems like it just ended.  The feeling of the autumn is just around the corner.  I managed to do a little blogsurfing at some of my favorite and some new crafty places.

Now….were you scared when you saw those flying monkeys?  I saw the movie in black and white….did you?

Have a great day.

Over and Out
