Hey Guys and Ghouls!!
I am hosting a free class at 2peas this week, where you can download a supply list and instructions for this little bit of sophisticated spookiness:
We have an official thread in the message board for anyone and everyone to come and participate- I'll be there all this week, if you have any questions or comments or just feel like chatting it up with me and fellow Halloween fans!!
Hope to see you there!!!
Shares???...I've got lots since I have been gone so long:)
If you haven't already run out and stocked up on Mr.Campy, then you are late to the party people!! Go here now and get some- trust me, you'll love it.
Tomorrow, at 10am PST and 12 CST, I will be hosting a little chitty chat at 2peas for our "Greetings from 2peas: Holiday Card Making Event"...free downloadable classes and projects- get a major head start on your holiday planning! I have a digital card kit with step-by-step instructions; brand new for this weekend's festivities! Hope to see you there!!
(look how cute the Johner family is...thanks to Jen and her family for being my sample models:) )
I made the card template from scratch in Illustrator, that little snowy pine cone is my favorite! I am still "green" when it comes to Illustrator, so when I can make something turn out the way I see it in my head, I get real dang excited. Plus it's got the wood type, my fave...and some of my handwriting in there too. Good times.
So on my last post, I briefly touched on my major freakin' flip out excitement over being part of the new KI Memories DT. (thank you so much for the congrats!!) I don't think I have the words to tell you how geeked out I am over this. I like fresh, graphic and simple, bright and happy. Totally KI. It can take me a really long time to complete a scrapbook page...but when I haul out my KI goodies- bam! It's like magic happens- I can actually scrap fast, and love my page when it's finished. Here's a couple shares full of KI goodness...
Um, I think that's a good amount of shares for today:) I don't want to run out of things to blog about right away... Actually, I have some fun things planned for the blog coming up hopefully before the end of the month, some give aways, product reviews, etc...so stay tuned.
Good to be chatting and crafting with you again!!
((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))
oh man.
I don't know what happened to me.
I wish I could say that I was marooned on a deserted island near Hawaii...that John and I decided to paddle out into the Pacific and were captured by happy pirates....but no. Didn't happen.
Instead, I just got. really. really. really. overwhelmingly. busy.
I had a bittersweet summer. Sweet, because the time we spent away was amazingly refreshing and put new perspective on life and the future. Bitter because we had to come home and back to reality.
As someone who thrives on change and innovation, it's hard to be stuck in a rut, and to be stuck in a big rut for 4 years is beyond difficult. There are so many changes I want to make, that I am desperate to make, but I don't have control over these situations that need fixing...so rut, rut, rut.
All of this feeling "stuck" and "busy" and "overwhelmed" and "trapped" does not make for very happy or pleasant blog chats- so I stayed far away for as long as I could.
I know YOU, friends and blog readers, understand.
It hasn't been all bad, not by any means...it's just 1 step forward, 2 steps back. For example, last week: I made the KI Memories Design Team- Something that I have wanted FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!! I love KI!!! Major KI Fan!!! I was jumping up and down excited!!!!!....and then we got a phone call rushing us off to Silverdale because FIL was in the Hospital. Obviously we wanted to be near our family, but the trip was right in the middle one of the busiest months of work I've had all year, and returning home left me multiple days behind a fast approaching deadline, and even farther behind on the projects I was already behind on. And then we got some additional bad news...and well...it's just been like that. 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
Enough is enough. I don't want to deal with it anymore, so I am going to pretend that life isn't a big shitpile right now, and dive back into "business as usual" and focus on the things that DO make me happy and the things I CAN control. And maybe, just maybe, things will get better. I mean, hey, at least I still have my crafts. They are a good thing.
So, now that I have broken my month long silence, I think it's time to say... let's get on with the show!!
