Yes, I'm really still here....

I have been creating a lot but just not posting....not sure what my problem is on posting...granted at least half of is retreat stuff and therefore must be kept under wraps until next month so it's not all my fault. I'm having so much fun with the new direction my scrapping has taken. I realize now I was limiting myself only scrapping 12 x 12 and I'm so excited I can hardly contain myself. Do I have any of the creations to share from this new direction? No - I haven't yet taken any photos but I did manage to take a few so I'll share them now and hush...

I hosted a card swap on the TxScrappinChicks group a while back where each participant sent in a specific list of items with which the recipients could create a card including paper, embellishments and stamped images. I finally got around to making something of them:



I have more to post but I'll have to do that in a bit....lunch calls.

Still a bad blogger LOL

Life seems to get in the way of what I want to do and I'm always ending up on the "have to" but that's okay because last night I had a wonderful dinner with friends. It is so nice to share a good meal and lots of laughs. A few of us are celebrating birthdays this month (Happy Birthday Lisa B today and Kim on the 23rd!!) and we were each showered with such thoughtful gifts. It was a nice pick me up after the passing of Duncan's grandfather. Sure was hard for him to head off to Vegas days after the funeral but in a way I think it was good for him to get away. I still have lots to post and I hope to catch up on that Friday night while I do my best to stay away for Duncan's midnight flight! For now I leave you with the newest quiz; not sure if that free from desire line is a good thing or bad and ya'll know I don't believe in some luck but they are funny to take anyhow!

Your Gemstone Says...

You bring calm to environments. You are a good mediator.
People consider you to be good luck.

I've been a bad blogger....

What can I say the time gets away from you when you have company. I haven't taken the time to photograph any of my latest creations. I had some fun things planned this weekend however my husband's grandfather passed away and the funeral is Saturday. Saw this on blogthings and thought it was fitting:

Your Russian Name Is...

Orlenda Nakita Lebedev

Orange?? Really?

Your Mind is Orange

Your Mind is Orange

Of all the mind types, yours is the quickest.

You are usually thinking a mile a minute, and you could be thinking about anything at all.

Your thoughts are often scattered and random - but they're also a lot of fun!



You tend to spend a lot of time thinking about esoteric subjects, the meaning of life, and pop culture.

What Color Is Your Mind?
