New CLIP Board
This is a clipboard I did before Christmas - commissioned piece. I made two of them, very similar. They were for our Viking Jr. Pro program. The lady who commissioned them was putting a 4x6 picture in them and giving them to deserving moms who helped her through out the season. They turned out okay - I guess. I've done better and seen a lot better!

Dentist & Purging
So, two post in two days ...... how's that? I must have something on my mind!!! :-)
I had to go to the dentist yesterday ....... $395.00 visit. What the heck, right? Well, call me having a new crown $395.00! Thats after my insurance pays for 1/2! So, I sit here today with a sore tooth (not really that bad) and a temp crown that is GOLD! How funny! Anyway, I hate the dentist. I hate having anything done to my mouth! I'd rather have 10 yearly exam than go through what I'm going through now! No kidding!
On to something more fun ..... purging. I'm purging my stash! And I've discovered something. I love paper! HA-HA-HA! Really I have so much paper that I'll probably never use. I went through it and pulled out a lot of "older" stuff. But I still need to go through it again. I've decided that I love kits ...... it's so nice to have the pattern paper and solids all together. I wish I could sell all my paper and start over with only kits! Just think of all the cool embellishments I'd have! Anyways, I brought a lot of paper in and several of the ladies bought it. I made about $45! I'm either saving for a Cricut or a new Quickutz tool .... can't decide which yet!
I made the cutest "girl friends" paper bag album for the consignment store in Murfreesboro. The first of many. If I can get 6 done by Jan 31 .... I'll be sitting happy. The "girl friends" book took me 3 days to complete (oh yea, I need a few ribbons on the spine, but that all) so, if I have a book every 3 days, I'll have 6 done! Then I need to do a receipe box and a paint can and some card. Which I've made 5 cards in the past few days too! I'll take picture of the girl friends book soon. I used some K&Company paper (Neapolitan line) and it's sooooo cute! I made some b-day cards to match using scraps. How cool would it be to receive a present with a matching card?!?!?!?!
More later - and hopefully pictures!

Okay, so I'm a terrible blogger. I must confess, I get all up tight when the blogs I read aren't updated regularly and here I am, not EVER updating mine!
I'm at work today, no holiday for me! DD is at Nana's, DH is a work also and I have a dentist appointment today.
Not much going on. I did have someone contact me about putting some of my products in a consignment sale in Murfreesboro. I'm going to try it. So I'm knee deep in make cards, paper bag albums and paint cans (that's what she wanted). I don't know if I'll be able to make any more off the stuff or not. There's a split on the sales between me and the owner of the consignment shop. We'll see how it goes. I have to have all the product ready by mid-Feb! UGH! Gotta get working!
Nothing fun happen on the home front. Pretty boring life!
Gotta run!

Can you believe it!!?!?!?!?
I got an email yesterday morning from ScrapIt! One of our LSS's. It's so sad they are closing their store! It's one of my favorites. I didn't get by there as much as I wanted, but they are kinda on the wrong side of town from me, but anytime I was over that way, I'd stop. It's sad when a store closes .... I'll miss them!!!

WOW! It's been a while!!!!! Happy New Year
So, I'm not sure why it's been almost a month since I posted last. Probably because I like to post with pictures and I don't have any new ones to show ...... so no post!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Last year seemed to fly by! 2006 came and went soooooo fast. I can't believe its 2007 and I'm almost a year older!
So, what did you get for Christmas? I got (from DH) a $75 gift certificate to Scrappuccino's and the EK Success Disney book. From mom & dad I got the QK Sunshine set and a Xyron 900, with and extra cartridge, plus a few cartrides for my 500 model. YEA! I also got clothes, towels, earrings, perfume and some other cool stuff! Em racked up ..... PS2, Karoke machine, Ipod Nano, American Girl and Bitty Baby stuff, CD's out the wazoooo, clothes, jewerly box ..... lots and lots. Steve got money - that's what he wanted. He's going on a guided hunt next year, so he's trying to save every bit of extra money he can to pay cash for it! (good for him!)
It was a great Christmas and so nice to have off almost 11 days straight. I cleaned out my closet, cleaned up some of the basement, took stuff to the daycare, gave clothes away to someone who's house burned down ....... nice to have that done. And the basement is getting cleaned so we can start working on building a wall and sheetrocking my scrap studio! YEA!!!!
I might have pictures soon. I should have already downloaded them off the card, but I was lazy when it came to spending time on the computer. I didn't even check my checking account and it was hurting when I looked this morning ...... :-)!
Gotta run and work on the above mentioned problem. More later!
