Am I a scrapa-shopperholic hmmmm maybe

Good Evening Ladies,

Well I for one have had a lovely day today went to see Knight and Day at the movies this morning, had a browse around a couple of the shabby shops in the shopping complex, brought myself a new tool a cordless glue gun so woo hoo lol...
Feel like I've been on the go non stop all day which I guess I have just hope I can sleep better tonight have insomnia at the moment so not falling asleep till after two the last few nights, hope it stops soon or I'm going to look like the walking dead.....I already feel like it.....

I have a show and tell today just got my order from  Vanessa at Scrap with V and oh it's so yummo while I was there picking up my order I got to scramble thru the Twiddleybitz box that hasn't been put up yet and got some lovely things my favourites are the winged shadow boxes I've been after these little beauties for ages now so its great to be so close to all my favourite brands........................ I also got some of the new prima bling and it looks lovely......

Okay not the best photos it's pitch black outside but I just wanted to show and tell my goodies as tomorrow I'm going to be busy getting two swaps finished......

And PS I just wanted to say a big thankyou to Vanessa for my free gift I got a lovely Creative Imaginations Madeline acetate album so how lucky am I.....
This is what I worked on last night my little petite matchbox I was just waiting to get my order so I could make a start on it and I got to use one of those little sprays that I got a couple of weeks ago so loving the colour combination of my little creation...

PS

I had a go with my new gluegun last night and oh my gosh it's a beauty works so fast and it dosen't drip.....

Just a sneak peek and 50% off storewide at Scrap with V

Well this weekend went by so fast, Saturday was a total right off as I spent most of the day with the kids at the school fair, my son Daunte was performing in the choir so hubby got to see him sing for first time, and then of course he got called in to work to work till 11pm, so we just stayed and enjoyed the day....
The kids got all day ride tickets so they went on the Miami sound ride so many times, had to laugh at Daunte's face the first time he rode it, the look on his face was priceless a look of pure terror wish I had my camera....
So I really didn't have time to do much crafting until this morning this is a sneek peek of one of my petite box swaps I've used Prima paper/music sheet/crepe paper,prima braid/ribbon and flowers to alter a bigger size matchbox.

I've got all my stuff to adorn the next one sitting on my workspace just trying to decide on an image to use on it....
Got so many things I need to start on this week just need to make time to sit down and actually get it all done, I have an order that I placed the other day at Scrap with V as soon as I get that one I need to create an item for one of the swaps I'm in and yes I was naughty got more prima flowers, Websters and some lovely Creative Imaginations papers and embellishments

Things I'm itching to get my hands on

Have you seen all the new goodies that will be hitting our shores soon from Graphic 45, Webster's and Prima oooh I so want to get my hands on them all especially these ranges....

Graphic 45's Steam Punk Debutante

The Deluxe Christmas Past

  Hallowe'en in Wonderland

 And hello three cheers for Graphic 45 have you seen all the new embellishments to compliment the ranges all I can say is hurry up and get here...

Now look what Websters have coming in August...
This is Hollywood Vogue

This is the Wonderfall Collection

And then there is Prima what more can I say I love the Fairy Flora Collection.and the Annalee collections

I already have some ideas on how to use those Graphic 45 papers the Deluxe Christmas past would be ideal for some more shabby inspired christmas ornaments and OTP's, the gorgeous steampunk range I would love to use to alter a box of some kind  and maybe create an altered frame and journal.
With the last collection I will probably make an arty kind of collage for Alicia's room kind of like a large display board.....

Speaking of prima goodness this is what I got last week on Friday I couldn't resist stocking up on some more Prima flowers from Scrap With V I added another 13 packs to my stash can you tell that I love the little bouquets lol...
Right I should go and do some housework, I need to get the slowcooker on for tonights dinner as Alicia and I are off to the Chicks at the flicks movie  night, were seeing Killer's and then having dinner out....And then I'm starting on a little altered box for my shabby swap.....
So have a great day everyone, oh before I go check out this lovely swap that Jill is hosting over at http://gypsyfleamarket.blogspot.com/2010/07/rosette-swap.html I just signed up.....

Later ladies

Where did my weekend go

Where oh where has my weekend gone it was here one minute and gone the next, haven't done much creating this weekend, Saturday my day was written off I was sick with a rush to the loo gush out your mouth kind of bug, had to be the subway I ate the night before grrr knew I should of stuck with Indian.....
Sunday late morning I was on the road to recovery so I ventured into my scrap room and started working on two of my circle journals of course I go to print off my quotes and alas my printer is playing up so they still have to be added to it, so today I am going to fiddle around with my printer and see why it won't let the paper come out....
But this is them done so far.....

New flower stash don't you just love Prima

Don't you just love Prima I did a bit of flower shopping the other day with an online order from Scrap with V and brought all these gorgeous flowers my favourites of course are the little debutante sprays I have been searching for these for ages think I may use these on my petite bead swap boxes....


I also found these little ones yesterday while I was out shopping

Today I will pop out to the shops to get my matchboxes for my petite bead box swap and this will be my project for the weekend, as hubby is teaching the reservists on base this weekend so he won't be home the whole weekend .

I have a couple of papers that I'm thinking of using but I will have to have a little play with the embellishments to make sure it compliments each other....

Don't you just love this image I got this one from Magic Moonlight free Images

Sunday's Creation and so much to do this week and look what just came in the mail for me

Well I did have good intentions this weekend my plan was to do some scrapping I did start on one of the challenges an atc but I can't show that just yet, finally went to see Eclipse at the movies on Saturday and then had lunch out with the boys, Alicia had been grounded as she refused to clean her room so she wasn't impressed at all when she had to stay home.... But she was warned......
Now yesterday I was going to start altering a jar and candle for a challenge that I'm doing but I didn't have the right sized candle so I went in another direction and made my christmas wall hanging, I got a bag of mixed christmas items at Spotlight after xmas so I went hunting thru that for some of the embellishments like the little drum, present etc.....
And came up with this wall hanging that was originally on a piece from an old kaiser album but then I attached it to this frame...

Now this picture shows my little drum that i have altered with a little image

and then this last picture is a side view of my embellishing.

Now I wanted to say a big thankyou to Cindy 

Who made me this gorgeous tag, mine is the together one, Cindy is a sister in the bloggerette sorority she makes such wonderful things so check out her blog above and be inspired....

Well school starts back again tomorrow and hello can I say that I'm relieved and jumping for joy that it's time for them to go back I swear when the kids are on holidays my grocery bill goes up another 100 a week and when your bill is already at the 600 a week mark you start to say ouch......
So I have a few things I want to work on this week and they are

: scrap a couple of layouts
: make an altered xmas jar and candle
: will be working on circle journals I think I have three coming my way
: work on my petite bead boxes
: start working on what swap to host next
: make something for my vintage vacation and seaside swaps

So my week is going to be full on now what about you? What have you got planned for the week?

Okay just had a parcel delivery so had to share what I got as it was from one of my swap partners the lovely Ngaire, she made me this gorgeous jar using the Collection's range of paper's that I so covet and inside bursting at the seams were these lovely goodies..... Lots of gorgeous lace, trim and ribbons, a little keyring from her part of the country, a beautiful pearl necklace and earrings and this gorgeous altered spool......
So without further ado this is what I got....

And this is a little sneak of what I'm sending to Ngaire mine is heading off to her in tomorrow's post....So thankyou so much Ngaire I love my gorgeous jar and all the goodies.....

Going to get my scrap on and actually do a layout

Well this weekend I have decided that I really need to do a layout, now when was the last time I actually sat down and scrapped one let me think I guess it would of been for one of the Let's get shabby challenges so it has been awhile....
I've been so engrossed in my altering OTP's that I just haven't been motivated to scrap but I do have incentive this week I'm doing the online cyber crop over at Scrap with V and we have a week to upload our layouts so it gives me time to actually get the challenges done......

Onto other things went shopping at Spotlight the other day to get some goodies for my noodle box swap and this is what I got my swap partner....I love that floral material so had to get some for me as well it's just so pretty....

I also stocked up on some beads for my petite bead swap boxes so I will be working on these next week so they can be posted off to my three swap partners......
Today I'm hoping to go and see the new Twilight movie and then have lunch out, but it depends on whether hubby gets called in to do a hospital shift so I may have to go tomorrow instead....
What's on the agenda for you today, anything fun and exciting? And more importantly are you crafting?

Where did my last post go hmmmm

Morning Everyone,

Well yesterday I had major problems with blogger I lost my last post, comments wouldn't add to my post's just don't know what was happening so I'm back again today to do a new one....
Have a few things to add that I finished last night so was able to take a better photo of my button's jar.....

So yesterday I gathered stuff from my stash to embellish two pasta bottles one is a square kind and the other is a slim tall jar these are the two altered bottles one will hold my vintage buttons and the other is going to hold scraps of white/pink ribbon.

I also have a photo of my noodle box swap that I have made for my swap partner Rae which I'm posting out tomorrow had to wait for the other half to come home so I could go into Spotlight and buy pretty sewing stuff to fill it up with....

I'm also doing an ATC swap with Wendy from Bliss Angels the theme was Grow so I have made this one to swap with her...
