This is my first post for Sunday Scrappin' hosted by Amy! I LOVE all things scrappy and have been pretty creative lately so I thought it would be fun to share some of the projects I got done this week. The rules are that you answer the questions posed at her blog in your post. The first are your TA-DA's for the week:
OK, disclaimer here - THIS is actually a gift I just received in the mail from my VERY clever, creative and wonderful best friend :-D I love her can! Well, MY CAN! It matches the colors in my bedroom so pretty so I think I'm going to use it as decor in there - I LOVE IT!
This is a nicer {read: CLEAR} shot of it, it has our family's name on it and the cutest details and embelishments!
OK, THIS one is MY TA-DA! I just made if for a friend of mine down here and I plan to put a gift certificate in it and give it out ... sometime before next Christmas ... hopefully ;-) I am thinking of redoing the green ribbons on the side with a darker green, what do you think?
And this is another gifty for another best friend! I wouldn't normally be posting her gift before I mail it off to her, but I don't think she'll be reading this since her youngest baby is in the hospital again. She's so sweet and is going through SO MUCH right now! If you get a chance, and are so inclined, pray for her little man, and for her and her family to have the strength to get through this.
NOW for the TO-DO's:
This week I want - NO - NEED to get my other 2 paint cans done! Yeah, I am a little slow when I don't have a solid deadline **slaps naughty little hand!** so that is my priority. I would also LOVE to get some ACTUAL scrapping in! I just found a scrappy buddy here close so I think that will help me get my butt in gear! I have all the photos, I have all the supplies, I have {some} time - WHAT am I missing? Motivation perhaps, or maybe accountablity! I think I might use this Sunday Scrappin as my motivation to get back to work! YAY ME! ;-)
And the BONUS question:
Brand name supplies vs. just about anything that will stick to a page = I fall into category 2, for sure. I love the brand name stuff and enjoy getting a good deal on it, but I also heart the dollar aisle at Target ;-) {and Michaels, and Joann's and Walmart and sometimes even the dollar store} I gotta mix my love for shopping and getting great deals with my love of scrapping, it makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside :-D
Well that's it for me! To check out more creativity check out Amy's Sunday Scrappin'!
God bless,

You don't know it, but I started on something crafty for you for Christmas and it flopped :( Guess I'm out of practice, but at least I'm willing to admit it, right? ;) I will try again though, so maybe I'll have something to bring out with me when I come visit - hopefully in the spring - YAY!
And thank you for the prayer requests. Our little guy is doing much better - home at last, where he belongs.
Happy crafting! Wish I could have fun being creative with you. If I find the time, maybe I'll do some SS posts, too. Miss ya. :)
