Etsy

So I sat down last night and uploaded a few items that I listed in my Etsy store. Boy, that was a chore. I only got about half the stuff listed that I made the past weekend to put in my store. But I am on a roll... my mind is racing with all the stuff I want to make to sell in my Etsy store. Click on my Etsy store on the left of my blog to check out all the goodies!

POTC3: At World's End

So E and I went to see my next husband Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of The Caribbean: At World's End. I would have to give this movie a A-. It was wonderful. There were a couple parts where Captain Jack wrestles with his conscience and hallucinates that weren't needed in my opinion. But overall the special effects were fantastic. I love all the characters. Highly recommended to all. However, I must warn, it is in your best interest to have seen the first two to get some of the "inside" jokes and comments.

Open letter to the couple that brought their infant child (probably about 18 months) and their toddler (probably 4 years): Why do you find it necessary to bring your infant child to a long and loud movie in excess of two hours. Do you feel the need to torture your child or torture the rest of the audience that has to witness a cranky baby? Please do us all a favor and wait for the movie to come out on video so you can rent it and watch it at home or get a babysitter! Thank you!

2SCD Projects

More projects made from the May 2007 kit at 2 Scrappy Chix Designs featuring Hambly and Autumn Leaves.A fun layout featuring two more of my 13 dogs. I used a sketch that was submitted for our online crop. I like the monotone look of this layout. I used foam for the bracket... cut out the bracket using a chipboard one as a template.
I love this card using Hambly patterned paper by cutting out a frame and attaching it to a cardstock mat and a card made from Bazzill Bling. Added two Hambly rub-ons and Making Memories letter stickers. Holla! if you love owls!
This is my absolute favorite layout. Course these pictures of Nikki make it! I used a sketch from 2SCD online May crop. Hambly patterned paper and transparency. Flowers from Bazzill and American Crafts. Thickers by American Crafts. Miscellaneous brads.A passport picture of Edward and his mother. I totally scraplifted this fantastic layout. I don't care, the layout I scraplifted was too great to pass up!

Work

I always talk about my job (well complain probably is more like it). My sister and I work for our parents' wine distribution company. I finally got our blog for the job up-and-running. Doesn't really say much except news revolving around the wines and winemakers of the products we carry in our portfolio. But if you are into wine, it is a nice place to research some new boutique wines. It is still in the beginning stages of a blog and I don't have all the links posted yet... but VISIT HERE if you are interested.

Funky Hambly Projects

Here are a couple of my 2SCD DT projects that I made with the May 2007 kit which features Hambly products...
I altered a cut-out felt placemat from Hobby Lobby on this project. I added binder clips, flowers, ribbon, and pearl head stick pins to products from the May 2007 kit.

Trippin'

Trippin' is what I do when I have a 50+ pound dog under my feet when I am trying to scrap. And of course I can't get mad at her when she looks at me. She is much too cute to get mad at. Sugar Sweet!

Progress

I have made quite a bit of progress on my {s}crap room. As you can see my work table is almost all clear. The floor is basically clear. This room needs just a little more cleaning to be complete.... well almost. After I organize the 20 or so boxes and bags in the hall closet that came out of this... then the reorganization of the {s}crap room will be complete. I had to get those boxes and bags out of this just to be able to move around in an attempt to organize. You cannot imagine how much better I feel at this stage. The completion of this room is reachable. I can almost feel it!

Accomplishments

I finally feel like I accomplished something tonight. First off, I cleaned off my work space in my scrap room. This is a MAJOR accomplishment. I have a few more things to organize in my room before I post a picture. After I cleared my work table, I actually sat down to work on the circle journals that I have had in my possession forever. I am in a circle journal with some great ladies from Creative Escape 2006. I finished circle journals from Sherron, Elizabeth, and Kim. They will happily go into the mail this week to the next participants. All I have left to do is two more circle journal layouts and I will be done with the exception of receiving my own circle journal back. You cannot understand how elated I am that this circle journal is almost complete.
