I am way out of control!!!

So I really have been good for a long time. I have not spent really any money on scrapping supplies in such a long time. But since I am going to a crop in April, I have started buying stuff to get ready. But now I feel like I can't stop. Here is a list of what I have bought in the past 3 weeks.

• Fiskadeals paper pack-vineyard
• 2lbs of the Artz unmounted stamps
• 3 page kits from TLC
• Tim Holtz Crackle paint
• Tons of Disney Jolles stickers
• Tons of Disney papers

And there is still some things on my list to get before I go.

• Metallic paint pens
• More spray bottles
• Plus I still need to get some more pictures printed

I AM OUT OF CONTROL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Alcohol Inks

This is was my first attemp to use alcohol inks. It took a little bit of playing before I got the hang of it. Now that I figured it out, I plan on dapping everything with them.

Pumpkin Patch!!

These are from our trip to our local pumpin patch.

Cedar Point

This is a LO of our trip to Cedar Point last summer.

Circus Time!!

These are from the circus last year. I found the cutest circus rub ons that went great with the paper I had.

What would you do????

So I think I realized why I haven't been into scrapping so much lately. Back when I started scrapping I used to store all my supplies in a corner in my mom's living room. Everything would be just thrown into a tote. It was such a mess. I would drag all my stuff into the kitchen and scrap away. I could go on like this for days with no stop.

Well, about a year ago, I decided to re-do my bedroom and make a small corner my scrap area. (You can see the pics in one of my past post below). Anyways, my stuff is now all nice and organized unlike how it was before, But now I NEVER scrapbook. I want to, I just don't. The thing is, the space is so small that I feel like I am so closed in, I don't feel like doing anything in there anymore. In order to get into a cabinet, I have to close my armoire. Who wants to do that? I only get stuff done at a crop which are few and far between. I do have the 2 coming up but I have so much to do, I still don't think I will finish them all at them.

So now, what do I do to get out of this funk?

I do have one solution but it requires so much work and I really don't feel up to it. You would think I would be ecstatic, but I am not. My parents have a spare bedroom that used to be our computer room and a storage room. We no longer have a PC, both have laptops. Mom uses hers in the living room and I use mine in my bedroom. So my mom said I can use the back room as a scrap room but I have to clean it. I could have my own scrap room!! Yaaayyyy!!!

But there is one problem. There is sooooo much stuff in there. Boxes, totes, bags among other things. It's not dirty, just cluttered. It is also where she does her ironing so the iron and ironing board must stay. I really don't feel like clearing it out. Where would I put everything?? Plus Henry and I have been talking about buying a house in the near future and I don't feel like setting everything up and then have to pack it all again to move.

So now what do I do?? Deal with my small space and just make it work until I move? Clear out the back room and make it my own temporarily? Or just scrap at crops when I can and not do anything at home?? What would you do????

Been a while

OK, So I don't exactly keep up with this blog. I am really bad at it as you can see.

So what have I been up too since my last post. Well, the craft show I went to to sell my cards was a total waste of time. I think I made 75 cards in all and came home with 73 of them. My parents did take the cards to a few of their other craft shows with no luck either. Over 3 months of craft shows, I sold about 7 cards. Guess people rather go to the dollar store and buy those cheesy looking basic cards that are BORING!!!! Well, look on the bright side, I have many cards that now have ready when in a pinch and don't have to buy or make one.

I went on a cruise to the Bahamas with my parents in Nov. Was a fun time. Although I was sick our 1st and last day. My mother fell when we were touring Atlantis and broke her foot. Well, they said it was sprained and she just had it wrapped and was in a wheelchair the rest of the cruise and when we got home, the x-rays showed it was broken. On a good note, I won a free cruise when we were on the ship. I won it drinking!!! No it's not what you think. I wasn't getting loaded or anything. Over a 3 day period, every time you bought a drink made with Malibu Rum (My favorite) you got an entry form. Well, I had just a few drinks and on the last day, they pulled my name out and I won! I was in total shock. I never win ANYTHING!!

The holidays were great. Busy running around shopping and making sure I visited everyone. I love being with all the family but it does become exhausting after a while and I am now glad they are over.

We did go to Walt Disney World in early Feb. We went for 6 days. I haven't been there in 14 years and Henry hasn't in 12 so we were almost like 1st timers. It was a blast!! We had so much fun. It was great to be 30 somethings and get to act like children and get away with it. We decided we will be going back about every 2 years or so in the future.

As far as my scrapping, Well, there hasn't been too much of that going on lately. I really haven't had the time. I did manage to go for a night with a fellow Cricut sister to a crop for a few hours. I did about 8 pages but no titles or journaling. Need to go back and finish them all. I am going on a weekend long crop in April. Can't wait. I have so much to do. Pretty much all of my 2007 stuff plus the cruise and Disney. Think I will just do Disney stuff that weekend. We took over 3000 pictures so I will have plenty to scrap and will keep me busy. I can work on the other things on other weekends.

OK, well I think I got you all caught up. I promise to post more regularly and keep you up to date. Thanks for looking!!
