My Scrap For A Cure layouts using the April Mini Kit!!!

I wanted a little more pop of green in this layout to accent the green bling dot (included in the kit) so I painted one of the flowers that comes in the kit green!This layout is a "clear" layout.. I used the included acrylic sheet for the whole layout instead of cutting it to make a cover for an album!!

2009-01-19T11:31:00.000-08:00

I am so excited..I finally feel like scrapping.. I think a lot of it is that I have energy now since I have been exercising !!! It feels so good to get in there and use up my stash!! I am also getting a small flat screen tv to hang on my wall because I love to watch TV and scrap!! So that will be KEWL!! Here are some recent layouts!!

No Mojo!!

2009-01-07T14:48:00.000-08:00

Yikes.. I feel like I am just stuck.. I don't understand why either.. I have the fabulous new room all to myself and I just can't get my butt in there and scrap or do anything in there!!!! GRRRRRRR One thing I know I really am missing when I am in there is my TV.. I don't have one in there and that is one thing I love to do when I scrap is watch some TV.. I told Allen I wanted a small flat screen to go in there.. We will see!!!!

I got the tray a LOOOONG time ago at Hobby Lobby and it has sat in my scrap closet for more than 2 years UNTIL NOW!! I thought about giving it away when I was packing up to move here but decided to keep it and I am really glad I did!! I just finished painting it red and when it dries I am going to distress it and then alter it abit!!

I am starting my scrap blog...

2008-10-15T23:29:00.000-07:00

Why now you ask?? Well it's because I am finally finished with my Craft Studio!!! Wooohoooo and yes you HAVE to call it the "Craft Studio".... That is what I make my family call it because it sounds so professional!! LOL!!!!!!!!!! Here are some pics of my "Craft Studio"!! LOL.. The only thing left that I really want to do is paint the counter tops on my desk.. They are an icky gray color.. But hey they were free so who's complaining!! Wait me????? I am complaining!! teee heeee!! Ok so here it is<<<<-----------------

I just bought a new tile pendant from www.homestudio.etsy.com!!!
I bought the gnome pendant for my cousin Dawn, who lives in Washington State, we have this silly little childhood obsession with frogs and gnomes so any gift I ever get her has something to do with frogs or gnomes!! LOL.. I can't wait for her to get it!!! Thanks so much Mark and Stafani!

Wanna win a prize.. I know I do..

2008-09-12T13:42:00.000-07:00

Ponderings blog is celebrating this weekend so if you want to win a prize you need to read this blog and tell a story on your blog or a message board.. Here is what we are supposed to tell a story about.. "tell me about the street you grew up on" Ok so here goes.. I didn't really grow up on a street but more like a LONG dirt road!!! I lived in the country and our drive way was about a half mile long!!! We loved playing up and down the road and our parents didn't worry because it was so safe, no cars, no people.. Just my family and some horses and cows.. I remember when berries were in season black berries and red berries would grow along the road and if we got hungry while we were playing we would fill our pockets with berries!!!!

Wow it's been a while since I posted..

2008-09-12T13:41:00.001-07:00

I am currently not doing camera straps because we just moved into our new house and I have just been busy.. I will try to do a better job at keeping you all updated.. Thanks so much for all your support!

2008-04-16T23:39:00.000-07:00

Well not really my butt per say but my body!!! I have had a very tiring week!!! Bradyn had his tonsils removed last Friday and just today is feeling better.. I waited on my poor baby hand and food and I would do it again in a second but I will say I am worn out!!!!! On top of that I had so many obligations this week that I just couldn't get done from going to the P.O. to working on my DT stuff.. I just couldn't get it all done.. I did however get some new camera straps up.. So that is good. I was able to get a few of my new Hipster Straps up.. I think they will be a big hit.. ERRR well I hope so... I also got my 50mm 1.4 lens in today.. wooop wooooooooop.. Here is the poem I posted on 2peas about it.. LOL

An Ode to my 50!!

I walked outside and what did my wondering eyes see???!!???

A beautiful brown package sitting there just for me!!!??!!

Propped up against a wall I might add.

Looking cold lonely and so so sad.

Why I picked that poor box up I did.

And tore off the tape and opened it's lid.

Oh my what a site that was inside.

For it was a lens to beautiful to hide!!!

No more brown box for you my pretty boy.

WOOOOP WOOOOP MAMA'S GOT A BRAND NEW TOY!!

So watch out world here comes Kristie with somethin' nifty!!

It's my brand new adorable, good lookin' fifty!!!!!

LOL!!!!

Anyway.. Back to my straps.. I am soooo happy about introducing them.. AND NOW WITH OUT FURTHER ADO................ DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Camera straps

2008-04-14T23:54:00.000-07:00

I am sooo excited to be making camera straps!! They are sooo much fun and fit my personality.. I sell them off my etsy site and it is going very well!!! I got the cutest dress form to display them on and I am in love with her!! She is sooo cool!!! LOL.. I am in the process of making new straps called the hipsters.. They are longer and have a cool pocket for an extra memory card, and they have a cute little camera charm on the end of them!! I can't wait to show them off!!

Ok so I guess I am a follower!!!

2008-04-14T23:47:00.000-07:00
