A Good Crafting Weekend!!!

This was such a good weekend for crafting!

I started off on Thursday night with a cardmaking class at my LSS...and they had a big sale going on, and Friday was payday...LOL. (goodbye money)

Then on Friday I went shopping in every direction from the grocery store to the crafts store. LOL.

Saturday and Sunday a friend had some gals from a local yahoo stamping group over to her house for all kinds of stamping and cardmaking. WHAT a fun weekend... And to top it off, on Saturday I had yet another class in paper piecing. Wow...busy busy busy!!!

Even my dear boyfriend got in on the cardmaking action when he named my friend who was the hostess of the retreat as the "Cardmaking Goddess" of all time...LOL!!!
He loves handmade cards, and he loves me, so he's quite a keeper...:)

I got home tonite and just sat in front of the computer and tried to relax a bit. Work will come soon enough tomorrow....but tonight is the end of the weekend...and I just am going to relax!

This week, I promise to try to follow my friend Debbie's tutorship and get some pictures on this blog! YAY!!!

Have a great week everyone and take care!

Wow...Long time, No post!

I just realized just how very long it had been since I came here and posted. I have grown so much in my crafting this past year. Online and face-to-face friends have taught me to "follow my muse" and to think outside the box. I have had a very very tiny box for a long time. It consisted of stamps, stamp pads, and paper...and maybe a paper trimmer and some mono adhesive.

Now my stash has grown and grown to overflowing! I own such things as glimmer mist, stickles, grungeboard, and pop dots! LOL. That's just the tip of the iceberg. I have tried many new techniques including paper piecing, sanding, distressing, blinging, and covering chipboard!

I have made new things such as an art doll, a tiny town made with one-inch cubes, bubbles technique, stamping on cork, and glittering. YES...I who hate glitter now like it a lot...LOL.

And oh oh oh...I discovered my cuttlebug more fully than ever...yay!!!

It's amazing what a class or two will do for you artistically! Even if it is just something you see on youtube that inspires you...that's still a class of sorts...

Art is great because nobody can know your mind and your muse, therefore you create the right way...YOUR way...yeah!

I'm so loving this blog this time around...and I hope I will post here for months to come...

Take care all, have a great weekend!

Busy day...

Today was a busy one! I finished up two swaps to send out to the hostesses. I also worked on a 3rd swap, and then I went to the PO and to Big Lots. I bought a whopping less than $3 at Big Lots because I had a 20% off coupon...lol. Two markers and a Diet Coke...yay...I did not buy everything in sight...yay. My boyfriend John labeled this trip as "Wonderful" because I did not outspend myself! :D

But tomorrow is a new day...:D

Of course pay day is NOT tomorrow...lol.

Have you ever noticed that no matter WHAT craft you are doing, you decide that you need just ONE more thing...that you do NOT have handy...sighhhhh....

I think I would have been way better off to buy an entire scrapbook store...than to try to buy one bit by bit, piece by piece...lol.

And who wants to sell anything???!!!

Don't touch MY stash!!!

LOL.

Take care all...

A sleepy Teena...

My New Blog

Yay! I have a few friends here who have blogs and so I decided that I needed one too. Why? I like to talk and write...and read...

That in and of itself is a good enough reason for me...LOL.

I can't wait to really start blogging...right now I am going to stop and see what this looks like...I'm too impatient...lol.

Take care, everybody!

Thanks for reading!
