I’ve only been back to work 2 days and I’ve probably worked 40 hours already! Blah, blah, blah…ever get tired of yourself complaining about the same thing? LOL =P
Anyways, here’s a few highlights I forgot to mention yesterday. I got some really cool things when I was in Chicago. Picked up a few nice shirts at Macys, this funky
LOVE bag with cool pockets (on sale too), 2 awesome Chicago tshirts and super cool breakfast cereal icon shirt.
Today would have been my grandfather’s birthday…so Happy Birthday Poppy! I’m thinking of you and miss ya. =)
Today I took a Back to Basic Stamping class that was given by a local rubber stamping store. I’ve always collected rubber stamps because they were cool but never really knew what to do with them. All the different inks and papers always overwhlemed me and I didn’t know what to use with what. So this class sounded perfect to go over the basic of rubber stamping. Well the class was great and now I want to stamp! We learned about dyes, inks, paper and the coolest technique - heat embossing. I came home tonight and bought online with a coupon a heating tool. LOL! I’m even thinking of taking another class this Thursday night to really apply what I learned because I know if I don’t do something with the knowledge I have I’ll forget it. Least this will put all the cool stamps I’ve been collecting over the years to good use and out of the boxes I’ve hid them in.
I’m going to try to do some more hands on crafts instead of all digital stuff. I was going through boxes this weekend and found lots of artwork I did in college and high school. So much of it was mixed media and really cool. I’m going to try to have some fun creating things and not stress over it. Well TRY is the key word.
Anyways, I’m off to bed now to get ready for Monday and the new week.
Just chillin this weekend and enjoying some time off. Woo hoo! Been listening to George Michael all weekend and rockin out. LOL!
Put together this list since I was going to blog about a few things I’m totally diggin’ lately. Then I came across this cute list freebie from Nicole Seitler and Sugarplum Paperie and thought it was perfect.
One other thing I mentioned on my top 10 list was Gina’s baby cards. She is on my CT and did some wonderful baby cards with some of my products. They are so cute!
Hope you are having a good weekend. Need to get a few more things done off the To Do list.
Toodles,
P.S. Happy Birthday Greg if you read this! =)
So this past weekend we went to Target to get some goodies and odds and ends. When we were checking out the cashier noticed that we had a lot of green items which isn’t a surprise if you know me. I pulled out my green wallet from my green purse and the cashier basically started harassing me cause I liked green. She thought it was too much and she would “pray for me.” What the hell is that about?! I was being polite and tolerating her but I was kinda getting pissed and miffed over this. What gives her the right to judge me because I like the color green a lot! I know my love of green is excessive and somewhat out of control BUT some of the things I buy just happen to be green. I don’t buy Sweet Mint Orbitz gum because it’s green but because I like it!
Sorry for my rant but I needed to share that and get it off my chest. I feel a bit better now but don’t expect me to “degreen” myself anytime soon. I am glad that an extra person is going to pray for me though. Speaking of Target I found these awesome green owl PJ pants on sale. I only saw them in green, so I had no choice.
Anyways, the rest of the weekend was nice. Saw some friends, ate at a cool kitschy place, took a bunch of pictures and chilled out. John and I walked around the Lower East Side yesterday and hit up some stores and veggie stands we’ve been meaning to check out. Can’t believe it’s back to work again today. I’ll share some photos from the weekend tomorrow.
I need to get some things done this week and also work on my Stand of and Scrap Layout #4. I’m starting to lose motivation for this contest but will try to keep going. I want to share with you but this whole anonymous thing…I might show you anyways. LOL!
It’s finally starting to feel like Fall and I’m loving it! Nothing says Fall like crisp air and finally getting to wear my new sweatshirts.
Hope you are all having a good Monday.
P.S. I get to see Jennie G this Friday - can’t wait!!!!!
I saw this over at Threadless and thought it was cute. I love pea pods
so I like it even more..he he he.
My good web friends, Holly & Andie are starting up a new photography website. Pink Ink Studios has some awesome products to help with all your photography & scrapbooking projects. I’m so in love with their Lightroom Actions for photos. These actions make a huge difference in your photos and add such a “pop and wow” to your photos. They make me feel like a professional photographer which I’m so far from but it’s fun! Check it out!
I came across this bedding set from Paul Frank and thought it was awesome!!! I don’t think my husband would go for it but it’s cool graphically to look at =)
Came across this cool artist site today that I wanted to share with you.
Sorry for being so short but not feeling all that well today. See you tomorrow!
Here’s a waffle iron that rocks. I never thought I would say those words! LOl! The waffle iron was designed by Chris Dimino as part of a group exhibit for the School of Visual Arts. This post is making me hungry…need to eat! =)
Yesterday I mentioned Pink Sugar Pop and today I came across this cool project on the blog that Holly created. I thought it was really cool. I’m going to have to pick up some stamps soon. Although I’m not that talented with stamps. I never know what kind of ink to use and it never looks good. I guess I will have to try again to see if I can master the stamp!
