Craft Fair

I'm preparing for the local craft fair here in November.  I plan to sell a few pre-made layouts and cards.  I'll be sharing the booth with my granny who's been busy sewing away on table runners and wall hangings:) 

I was thinking $7.50 sounded like a fair price for a 2 page layout, but wasn't sure they'd sell for that high.  I checked out Etsy to see what the going rates were and am SHOCKED to see there are layouts of the same quality selling for $15 or MORE!  I plan to stick to my $7.50. 

Finally here's some of my recent pages :)  I've sorta been neglecting the kiddo's books, but I'll use whatever doesn't sell of these to put their pics on and personalize a little more:)

Close to My Heart Consultant?

I've really been thinking hard about becoming a Close to my Heart Consultant.  I use their products all the time and I just LOVE the kits with all the coordinating paper.  It's pretty rare for me to scrapbook with anything else anymore!  I love the idea books because they show so many techniques.  I will probably wait until there is a good special running for new consultants like the $99 start up package.   I have a wonderful consultant, who I already know would be a great upline.  Check out Lori's blog here, she has wonderful clubs, tell her I sent ya:)

I fell off the TMMO bandwagon

AND I fell right into this....

There was only a limited number built in this color, 400 of the SRT8.  I haven't heard how many of these R/Ts ended up being built.

I was the first to really 'DRIVE' it.  The guy who unloaded it had to drive it off the transporter and my MIL (aka the dealer) backed it up on the lot.

AND HOW could I possibly RESIST this pink stitching!!!


I'm on Cloud Nine, it's been one wonderfully amazing week around this house:)
In my defense I did buy a cheap van with CASH as a daily driver and I'll be trading my Pacifica in on the Challenger:)
Ok, I have nothing else to say for myself now.

Family Pictures!

I took these pictures for a very good friend of mine.  I told her I would love the opportunity to practice with my new camera and of course I'm sure she loved the whole FREE part ;)

Sizzix Texture Boutique

I've been wanting a cuddlebug for quite awhile now and I bought embossing folders a long time ago knowing I had friends with Sizzix's that I could use them in, which I never actually did.  I've been meeting with a small group every week or two to scrapbook for the last couple months and used the sizzx and I LOVED it!!!  I really don't need a die cutter though since I have the cricut.  (By the way have you seen the Cricut Imagine!).  This little Sizzix Texture Boutique is EXACTLY what I wanted and it's sooooo stinking cute too!  I ordered it from Amazon and it just arrived this evening.  I think I checked my front porch 20 times hoping the UPS man had been here.  The total price was $38.92, but I also had $10 in amazon gift certificates which I earned through swagbucks!  It came with 3 different folders and a pack of cards with envelopes and even some small pieces of cardstock!

Baby Shower Invites

One of my best friends who is expecting in January is having a baby girl.  I've posted before about how she's decorating the baby's room in Owls.  She came over the other night and we made these super cute baby shower invites!

Sorry I've sorta neglected my blog lately!  I have no good excuse other than I've been spending lots of time scrapping and not much time writing about it or taking pics of my work!  This means I've got a lot to share!  More tomorrow :)

Scrapbooking Day!

It's been a wonderful scrapbooking day for me!  I cleaned my house this afternoon then started a digi page while the kids played and drug a bunch of toys back into my CLEAN sunroom!  It's still nothing like it was before I cleaned, so I will forgive them.  Tonight I had a few hours to hang out in my scrap room, the first couple with the company of my girl. 

I didn't really make any pages for the kid's albums because I'd like to get more pics ordered first, I did however make several layouts.  I'm planning to get a booth at the November craft fair along with my granny.  I'm planning to sell pre-made layouts and cards.  My granny has been cranking out table runners like crazy to sell!  She called me yesterday to make sure I was still planning on getting a booth, so I thought I better get to work too!

Here's my digi page:
