Sassy Cheryl's show me challenge #52

WOW, the time really has flown by. I can remember participating in some of Cheryl's very first show me challenges. Last time I played along I lived in a whole different house! I have a whole new space and LOVE it.

Here it is:

Next week I'll play along again and show you some details :)

If you wanna play along go to Sassy Cheryl's show me challenge #52

Crafting in the house!

Ok I have seriously got to take time out of my busy days to post here! I have been loving crafting so much  that time just seems to slip away.

Here's some recent creations;

June

Where oh where did the time go. I'm a bad blogger. I've been working and crafting just not blogging bout it. I'll try harder. LOL I feel like a little kid in school writing lines....I will try harder to blog. I will try harder to blog. ;)

Oh I did book a trip to Disneyland. That's right. The kids and I are off to California for a grande adventure. Bummer part is we have to wait till September to do it! ;)

thanks for stopping by.....next time I'll post something crafty ;)

Sassy Cheryls "show me" challenge 21!

Wow, I remember taking part in the first few Show Me challenges over at Sassy Cheryl's Blog. Now they are at 21! Hopefully I don't stay away and then they are at 42! So here's my space. I've been gutting and downsizing. I must admit, like alot of other fellow crafters, I enjoy the "buying" supplies part of crafting. But I've recently came to the conclusion that if I ever want to go on a holiday I best learn new practices around money! lol So gutting the house and seeing what I already own is a good start. And I own alot of crafty stuff! I don't use half of it. So it's time. So here's the big gut in the making;

This is the stuff in the hall that will be sold, somehow, somewhere!

 This is my table, looking a little better

 This is the cabinet looking way better! but still a work in progress. Maybe next week I'll manage to do a before and after post! lol

I've taken a picture of some flowers I'm working on for a swap;

 

So if you wanna have a peak at some other crafty spaces and projects go Here and look for Show Me Challenge 21 (sorry I can't seem to get the exact link to work on my new MacBook) ;)

Thanks for stopping by
Till next time

p.s. I've been eating healthier!

Life

Wow...yet again it's been far too long since I've blogged. I've been working mostly. Not sure if it's age or learning but work is kickin' my butt! It's probably neither of those and more the fact that I'm not taking care of myself the way I used to, even just a year ago used to. It's funny how we let ourselves become not our top priority so easily. I've forgotten how good it feels to eat healthy all the time, I've forgotten how good it feels to surround myself daily with laughter, I've forgotten how good it feels to exercise daily (not every couple weeks)....here I was thinking someone reading this might give me some advise...shed some light...but I think I may have shed it for myself. I need to put myself back on the list. Top of the list actually. Cause like the airplane air mask theory, if I ain't breathing there's no way I can help anyone else. :)

First thing I can do, that I should always be doing, that I do most of the time, just not ALL the time, is eat healthier. Starting tomorrow I will. Like I said, this won't be a big change for me. Just needs some tweakin'.

With this nice weather who wouldn't wanna get out and walk. I think it's time. I think I'll go for a walk.

Thanks for listening....the vent felt good.

I'll check in in a week and let you know how it went. Keep me accountable will yah? ;)

Sketch Support Challenge

Morning. Wow it sure has been a few days since I last blogged ;) Well I must admit I found yet another strange addiction. Well strange to most of you, but not to me. Couponing! Yay, saving money to spend on my other addiction, scrapbooking, win win! ;) So now that I have the couponing under control I can get back to my regular programming which is scrapbooking. :)

Have you heard the news? Sketch Support opened up January 1st! If you don't know what that is well I'll tell you. I think it's about THE best place to get scrappy inspired if your ever looking. Yes there's loads of other great wonderful sites, but Sketch Support is by far my favourite :) Allison Davis, find her blog HERE, used to do "sketch week" once a month on her blog. With so much naggin', beggin' and pleadin' the poor lady got tired of us all and opened up a Sketch Support blog, with the help of others of course ;)
So now we get to see her creations, along with a whole great design team, for a whole month at a time, over and over, like it NEVER ends. See THE best. So head on over and have a look if you want.
Oh right, the reason I'm posting ;)
So there's a challenge over at Sketch Support and nothing better to get my butt back to scrapbooking than a challenge. You can find the challenge HERE.
The challenge is to use the following on a double layout with the sketch provided;
-patterned paper


• chipboard

• a journaling tag or die cut

• twine or ribbon

• flowers

So here's my entry:

Thanks for reading this far!

& thanks for stoppin' by ;)

Time flies, but who doesn't know that? I don't have much to say, but I can share some pictures.

Just having fun and keeping busy!
