Dear Friends, I have spent a busy week cleaning, prepping for the holidays, and doing a little self reflection.  I would be lying if I did not tell you that I have been more than surprised at what I found lurking there.  (both in my home – YUCK! – and in my Self) It is newly apparent to me that in my older age, I am 21 again this year – for the 16th time… anyway, it’s clear to me that as I become older: I become harder and harder…

I was flipping through a magazine the other day and saw the CUTEST bathmat, so I used the Google and had to find it to see how much it was.  What started out as window shopping, ended up as another venture into the Excursion Into Ordinary! The cute bathmat, was all pink and girly.. and ARGYLE! I love love LOVE this bathmat, BUT Im not paying $60 for a rug for my bathroom floor.  NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.    I will, however, take what I like most about that rug and…

My friend  Jen Reed is hosting the November 2010 : Ad Challenge over at www.digiscrapobsession.com this month.  The Ad challenge is probably my favorite  of creative challenges, just because its one of the ways I find mojo in my real life, lol.  Ok so that probably makes it not much of a challenge, but it is what it is, so there ya go. The November 2010 : Ad Challenge ad was to use this page and be inspired: and my take on it was pretty similar.  I didn’t even use…

Christine Smith hosted a Card Challenge over at www.digiscrapobsession.com this month.  The theme this month was, of course, THANKSGIVING. Here is the card I made: Give Thanks Card This was a super simple card.  I made it digitally using a free kit called PLENTIFUL (with a few alterations) by Shabby Princess.   The project was super simple: Base paper at 4.25 x 5.5 Upper paper at 4.25 x 5.5 draw a BIG circle with the vector tool position and mask to “trim” draw faux stitching with vector pen add title layer…

Happy Saturday friends! Just wanted to drop a note and say Hi-dee-ho!  LOL!  Meant to blog yesterday, but ended up going to Auntie’s house to cook dinner and put up her Christmas tree! weeee!  The conversation went something like this… her:  “I was thinking I would buy some frozen lasagna and y’all could come up for dinner.” me: “umm, Im not driving an hour for frozen lasagna.” her: “ but I was hoping you would bring the kids and they could help put up my tree…” me: “CHRISTMAS TREE!!!!!!  OK! …

OMW! Yesterday was such a LONG day!  I swear I was starting to think it was NEVER going to end!   But, I lived! yahoo!  HAPPY FRIDAY! So, what all’s went down this week?  Well…we had a huge milestone or TEN in this house this week.  Someone turned the big ONE OH!  Thats right friends.  Bug had a birthday!  Tons of photos to follow, enjoy! “Sis do you want AN ICECREAM CAKE from Dairy Queen this year?!” *fingers secretly crossed behind my back* ”NO MAMA!  Those aren’t made with LOVE!” *sigh* …

LOL.  I got a cute ad in my email this morning, and I thought it would be great for my Excursion into Ordinary series!  Who knew more inspiration would come some soon?!  Its taken almost all day to get this made, since I kept getting distracted by facebook!  But, here it is! THIS ad was in my email this morning.  From 1800flowers.com Doesn’t that tag in the middle scream scrapbook page?  It did to me!   Here’s what I came up with: the tag, the colored paper, and the pin are…

LOL.  Just an “Im alive” update.  Life is still being a little out of control.  Probably will be now ‘till after Christmas.  Sis’s birthday is this week, so we are planning for that.  Then we have Thanksgiving, then more birthdays, then Christmas, then more birthdays.  :(  Lots to do and don’t feel like doing nnnnn-any of it. Plus the new job has gone from being a “One day a week, make your own schedule” to “2-3 days a week”  LOL.  Needless to say, the hubs is not pleased.  I am…

I think my “self” is finally readjusting and coming to terms with no longer having the “stress” of running a big site.  THIS, my friends is a good thing!  I feel myself slowly feeling creative again.  THIS is ALSO a good thing! For a long time, I have wanted to write a series of posts that just focus on finding inspiration in everyday things.  You don’t have to be in an art museum or gallery display to be inspired.  Creative “sparks” are all around you if you just relax enough…
