Pink X-mas tree

Hey everyone,
I wanted to post a picture of my pink christmas tree. I found this tree 2 years ago at Michaels and could not resist. I bought it with a 40% off coupon. The first year it had only bells in pink, aqua and lime green. Last year after christmas my husband and I went shopping and found all the balls it holds now. I found all the balls at Target.  I love it and makes my room feel so christmassy. Hope you all like it.

Challenge

Hello everyone,

I decided to get into a challenge in Momo's blog. Made by Momo. Her challenge is something with a turkey. Here is what I  came up with. I think the turkey is adorable and I decided to make the feathers with different colors instead of being the traditional brown and beige colors. It also looks like I have given it some steroids. It is a giant. LOL. But i still think it is cute.

Garage Sale find

If you know me you know that I am a garage sale junkie. I have been going to garage sales since I was probably in diapers. Thanks to my MOM. We are 3 sisters and 2 of us love them. When I had my girls I use to take them with me. One day they will appreciate all of the great finds and attend them religiously as I do. When they were about 4 I would give them there own money and they would pay for what they wanted. They began to look forward to going to them as time went by, I would give them the choice to stay home sleeping with Dad or come with me and of course they would get up and leave with me. Now I have my husband hooked into them and we go everywhere and anywhere.  Today I found a couple of things and decided to post my finds in my blog to share with you all. Those that love garage sales can appreciate my finds. I know I am. I found this frame and thought I had to have it and hang it in my home.  I purchased these 3 precious moments. I started the collection for my oldest daughter but now that she is in college she no longer wants them so I have kept them and have continued the collection. Maybe someday she or my youngest (also in college) will want them for there children. I also found a rocking chair. I did not take a picture of that but I love rocking chairs. I plan on putting it outside in my patio with the others that I have found. Hope you enjoy my post even though it had nothing to do with scrapbooking.

Nativity set # 1

Hey everyone, I wanted to post last night what I had been up to last night, but by the time I was done I was exhausted. My eyes were blurring out and my head was pounding. As you know I am big time and I mean BIG TIME into paper piecing. Most of my layouts if not all have something to do with paper piecing. I either buy the patterns or draw my own. I went into My scrap chick website and decided to purchase the Nativity seen set. Boy was this a big mistake. Not a mistake but a challenge. There are so many pieces to each character that I think I will never finish. I have only been able to cut the first set and then redo it on the color paper I have chosen. If you have the SCAL then I would assume it is easier and faster. I do not own this program so mine is all cut by hand. Let me tell you I started at about 8:30pm and did not finish until 1am. I was the whole entire time cutting with my scissors. But I finally finished the manger, Joseph, Mary, the stable and the star. I still have a long way to go before I am done. But I will finish. PROMISE and when I do I will post them all done. For now I will leave you with the first set. Also the other picture shows all of the other patterns I need to still cut and then trace onto my color of choice paper I decide to use and then cut those. Lots of work but by the time it is finished it will all be worth it. I still have the 3 wise men, the camel, 3 sheep, 3 angel and the 3 shephards.

Wacky Wednesday #15 Challenge

Paula in More Than Favors Blog is hosting a challenge. Her challenge is called Wacky Wednesday # 15 challenge. For this challenge you have to use brown, green and blue. I paper pieced this little boy catching butterflies and dragon flies. His shirt is blue, the leaves are all green and the matts are with brown. On the second page I did not know what to do, so I decided to just put leaves on the bottom and a couple more matts and a snail. I hope you all like it.

Give Thanks Layout

Hello everyone,
Just wanted to show you the latest layout I did for Thanksgiving. I named it Give Thanks, because we should all be Thankful for this world we live in.

New Pictures

Hello my followers.

First thing. I have been able to finally fix my blog. I was able to download the new background. I love this fall background. I had so much fun downloading it. My poor husband was with me along the way. Thanks to him I was able to do it. At one point I was going to give up and he kept on telling me what to do.

I am uploading pictures of my room. I love my room. It is my happy place. The time I am not cleaning, cooking, doing yard work or playing with my dog Roscoe I am in this room. Actually, everyone that comes to visit ends up in this room. This really is my happy place. I hope you all enjoy taking a look at my room. I will soon be posting a tour of my room. I will go into details of how I organize my things. For now enjoy the pictures.

The first picture shows the entrance to my laundry room (look Teri your banner, Love it), the armoire stores my albums and my bags to go to crops. The frame on top of the armoire was made with the cricut by my husband and I. The second picture shows the other side of the laundry room ( don't you just love the banner) where I have alot of my pattern papers and on the bottom is one of the cubes from Target with baskets holding different stuff. The next picture is showing my work stations. I have 4 for friends to come over and scrap with me. I also teach every once in awhile at home so this is really comfortable to have. The painting on the wall is of Alladin (my favorite). My niece drew it for me. The last picture is of the back part of my scraproom. The picture window on the back has my most recent layouts hanging from it. The next 2 stations on the back hold my 2 cricuts (a red one and the white one), my clip it up, my cuttle bug and my MAC computer. I love my Mac. That was my anniversary gift. You can also see the shelves on the side that hold alot of my goodies in jars, baskets, cricut cartridges well you get the picture. When I do my video which will be the tour of my room I will be more specific with everything.
