Happily Ever After... Happy, Thrilled and Excited...

Happy Tuesday everyone...  I am Happy, Thrilled and Excited today... Yesterday I was in my craft room creating cards and for some reason I was creating Valentines and Wedding cards. Not sure why. lol... Later that afternoon I called my son to see how he's doing really it was to check up on him.  When you live in 2 different states you worry all the time.. Well he told me he asked his girlfriend to marry him and she said yes.  So maybe that's why I was creating those cards. You know the "Moms intuition". lol  So excited for him and this next chapter in his life and well for me I finally get another girl that can call me mom... lol

With that said here is a card I created...

A Happy Birthday Card and still unpacking my craft room...

So I spent 12 hours in my craft room yesterday.  Looking at what I did in those 12 hours I'm not sure if I was that productive.  I would of been better if I could make up my mind where I wanted things.  Things started in one place then moved to a different place and ended up in another place.  I think that deciding where things go is what takes up so much time.  In the middle of it all I ended up twisting or pulling something in my back after moving some boxes around.  So I have been really slow moving like turtle slow. lol  So naturally I decided to sit down to rest my back and get in some creative time.  Here is a card that I created...  I really love the colors.

I'm finally back with some fun Stamped Goodie Bags...

Wow I can't believe it's been almost 3 months since my last blog post... A lot has happened since then.  I won't get into all the details but in that time I have unpacked more of my craft room, had 2 surgeries, been working and resting a lot. Now that I feel somewhat normal again I have been in my craft room getting creative...

Today I opened up a box and it was full of my wood block stamps.  So naturally instead of putting them away as I was going through the box I sat down and got crafty with a few stamps and made some fun goodie bags for my co-workers...  I love passing out fun little things to my team at work...

Steampunk Owl Canvas...

Wow time has really just flown by...  We are packing once again and getting ready to move one last time...  This time into our own house.  We close on our house Jan 17th... eeek 3 more days.  We are so excited and can't wait.  The move down to Texas from Washington was eventful and the little rental house we are in is rather cute, but I am soooo ready for my own house so I can stop overpaying for rent and change anything I want to...hehe  Now that we have been in San Antonio Texas since the end of August we truly love this place and we are so excited to call it our Home State.

Today I am working on some assignments for the rest of Jan and through Feb as I will start packing up my little scrap corner tonight to get it all ready for there "OWN" scraproom again.  Looking forward to having my own scraproom again.  It's been a while ok like 6 months, but all my goodies that have been packed since July I am sooooo looking forward to unpacking them.  I have been lost without all my lovely ribbon, stamps, 12x12 papers and the list goes on...  I know this time when unpacking scrapbook stuff I will find that box with all my adhesives in it.. hehe

I wanted to share a little something I made for myself... It's been awhile since I created something for myself.  Everyone knows that I love owls and love creating owls out of fabric, felt, and now even paper. hehe   This one hangs on my wall at work...

Feliz Navidad Tag...

So with it being December and still in the high 70's here in Texas. I thought it was the perfect time to get into the Christmas Spirit and start creating some Christmas Gift Tags...  Most of my stuff is still out in the garage awaiting us finding a house to buy so I am limited to what I managed to pick up a few Christmas/snowy things but when creating I would really love to have a lot more options, but I am making the best of what I have with a Hobby Lobby/Michaels trip planned for today... hehe

Here is my first Christmas tag of the year...  Using my Ipad to take my photos and edit them as I got a new computer and can't seem to find my photo shop cd yet. I'm sure it's in the garage packed with all my amazing Christmas embellishments...

Lets go on a Hay Ride...

A couple weeks ago some new scrappy friends here in San Antonio were heading to the new Archivers about an hour or so north of here.  So I kindly asked if they see a stamp I was looking for (ok lets be honest here I really NEEDED the stamp) that I would be for ever grateful if someone could pick it up for me and I would meet up with them asap to get it and of course pay them for it.  So I guess all the planets were aligned and luck was on my side as it was there and they snatched it up for me. (Thanks again ladies)  So with that said here is my card using the Stampendous Hay Ride Kiddos stamp....

Isn't the stamp cute... Now you see whey I really NEEDED it... hehe
