Hey Everyone....

I know,
you have not seen me much lately...
I have been so busy with the Holiday's and all
Christmas that is...I hate to say 
'Happy Holidays'
It's called 'CHRISTMAS' for a reason
and if I offend anyone that is their problem, right...

OK on to where I have been...

I have resigned from Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co design teams...
I just could not keep up...I was feeling like I 'had' to get this and that and this done
all the time...it became a choir instead of  enjoyment...
Mark's Finest Papers a Heinrich Co is a GREAT company...
They have great stamps that are awesome to stamp with...

However, I want to focus again on what I LOVE to do...
and that is
3D paper crafting and Scrapbooking...

On the Scrapbooking side I have some goodies I got to start
a Project Life scrapbook...
That is so fun, I don't know if it's any easier but I am having fun
and want to do more of it...
I don't like to scrapbook the 'everyday' stuff...
I prefer doing a 'holiday' or 't'rip' or something special scrapbooking...
so we will see how I get my Project Life books going...
I would love to learn how to scrapbook the 'everyday' thing...
because my memory is getting worse I feel like I really
do need to do more of the everyday stuff...we will see...

Yesterday my hubby helped me put a ribbon holder together
It's not 'pretty' but it is functional...I think it will work great for me...
What do you think...


Can you see it? it's just above my so AWESOME ink holder...
the ribbon holder is cool huh...I think I will work great,
other than when I run out of a color in the middle or add a color
I will have to take it all down and put it back together...
oh well I will see just how long it will stay grouped in colors...heehee

Oh and that ink pad just behind it, well I think I did a blog post about it already...
maybe not...I can't find it on my blog...
anyway it's an old hotel key/mail box...
My friend Angela gave it to me.
she has had it for sometime and we think it came out of the old 
Hotel in Holbrook... My dear dad cleaned it up and made it all pretty again...
got ta love those parents, right...
he is so very talented in EVERYTHING...
it fits just perfect on it's side and the
Stampin' Up ink pads fit perfect, and where the 
key hung from makes a perfect pen holder next to it...


What do you think, perfect huh...
I put a little box from Stampin' Up...
they are the Stamp & Supply Boxes
they are on clearance now...you get 10 clear boxes for $0.99 right now...
oh my, I think I need more...what do you think? at that price it's crazy...
if you are interested in purchasing some of these great boxes
and don't have a demonstrator to purchase them from
Please feel free to add
Joshua Wenger as your demonstrator...
You will have to do a search to find him, and add him as your demonstrator...

Happy New Year
2013 has not been the best,
so I hope 2014 will be the best ever

Well, that's about it for now...
Hugs to all...
Thank you for all your support....
Happy Craft'n
