Vintage Memory Box

Sorry I haven't posted in a few days, I was fighting a nasty cold all week and spent most of my time snoozing on the sofa, but all is well now. I had a fun day today, I did a canvas class today at my LSS with "Diva Steph" We made 2 canvases in Christmas / Winter theme. It was a blast!! I felt like I was back in Kindergarten squishing modge podge around the canvas with my hands. What fun! Should have them finished in a day or so, have to get a couple of 5 x 7's printed. I love doing altered projects so this was right up my alley. As promised here are some pics of the vintage memory box I made at the mega crop last weekend. The pics really do not do it justice, it is much prettier when you see it in person.

I have to take pics of a few other things I made there and will post them tomorrow.

OOPS! The vines on the top are bent all out of shape, forgot to fan them out. The buttons are really pretty they are the American Craft buttons that have a beautiful sheen and sparkle to them, too bad they don't show up on the pic.

SEM Mega Crop

OMG! what a crop. I attended the Scrap en Masse mega crop in Alfred on Saturday with 7 of my scrapping buddies. Let me tell you, this is one event to make sure you attend next year. Jossee and her staff did an amazing job. There were 100 plus scrappers and everything went smoothly. She had over $3,000. in terrific prizes and wouldn't you know it my friend Linda won 3 prizes. There was plenty of room for each scrapper. She held 3 different classes during the crop and they were all full. I took the Halloween layout using my mind's eye papers and it is a hoot! I will finish it up tomorrow and take a pic. She had part of her store at the crop and had some great items. I just loved the SEI Christmas paper line and she had some really different PRIMA flowers. I was a good girl and hardly spent any money. The food was amazing, I think I gained a few pounds. All in all I had a great time but I am sooooooo tired! I will post pics in a couple of days of what I accomplished at the crop.

........my two front teeth!

I just had to share this adorable pic of my precious grandson and my DIL. He lost his 2 front teeth on Thanksgiving weekend. I guess Aidan will sing "All I want for Christmas is my 2 front teeth". You can bet I will be scrapping this page in the very near future.

Happy Turkey Day!

I want to wish all my scrappin buddies a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are laying low, even though it is just Randy and I here a nice plump turkey is cooking in the oven. I just love turkey and pumkin pie! I better go put on loose pants!!!!!

Will post a couple of Christmas goodies that I am finishing up. Hope to post them tomorrow or Tuesday.

Busy Busy!

I was reminded yesterday by a good friend of mine that I had not posted in a few days. Yikes! where do the days go. So here we go! Last weekend went to a 2 day crop at my LSS. As usual had a lot of fun. I actually completed 2 altered albums and started on some Christmas card/tags. Yesterday went to my scrappin buddy Linda's for a scrapbook afternoon and got a lot done. Today no playing for me, I have errands to run, turkey to buy, extra groceries for Thanksgiving weekend and of course a quick stop at the scrapbook store.

Here are some pics!

Enjoy!

Gals scrappin!

Scrappin Pal Nancy aka "Hello Kitty"

What happens at the crop stays at the crop!!!!

The above pics are of a really girly mini album made of Webster Pages Carte Postale 6 x 6 papers and a memory box to match. As you can tell I just love making little boxes to match the mini albums.

The pics below are of a little book I made to put those special family recipes in that are tried and true.


Look at the adorable small brass fork and knife. My friend Nancy picked those up for me when she was travelling. I am very fortunate that my core of scrappin pals are so great, we tend to do this for each other quite often.

The above pics are of the little Christmas album I made last week. They are also made from Webster Pages line. The pics just do not do it any justice, it is really beautiful in real.

Thanks for looking!

Finally a short post

Hubby asked me if there was a pic of us on my blog. Yikes! I had to say no. He is so supportive of me in my scrapbooking and being at crops on a regular basis that I just had to post. This pic was taken at a wedding in May.

What a Weekend!

What a great weekend I had! The scrapbook garage sale was definitely a success, I sold just about everything I brought with me. It was a lot of fun. Saturday night we had dinner with friends and went to see "The Informant" It was a different type of movie but I would recommend to see it. Sunday was a typical rainy fall day. I was tired and just cuddled up on the sofa and watched movies.

"Shabby Chic Album"

This album was a class taught by Stephanie, the album was totally designed by Steph. I just love the look of this Shabby Chic style. This was the album that got me hooked on glimmer mist. I was not sure what pictures I was going to put in the album then realized that these pics of my Mom when she was young were just perfect. The first pic is of my Mom and I when I was about 8. The rest are all of her at school and with friends and her sisters. Sorry for the number of pics, but I wanted my family members to get a good look.
