'Tis Thursday and CHA is OVER!

All right. I have to be honest with you guys. I have gotten very little done lately as I have been absorbing all of the videos from CHA on people's blogs. The products that have come out are just inspiring and fun!!! I am so jealous of all those people who live so close to such wonderful supplies! Me? I live in a tiny town waaaaay up North and my only place to shop is half an aisle in our Walmart. Yup! That's it. Pitiful, huh? But hey! I have managed to do pretty good with what little I have had. And I have even been able to pick up some small things at Michaels when I was in Edmonton for my son's medical tests. There are sooo many things I can't wait to  try! I don't know yet how I will get my hands on them-but I WILL get my hands on them! In the mean time, for some awesome product peeks, check out PaperClipping's blog. There are so many videos to watch! My FAVORITE product peek over there is Ranger Ink's Dylusions. Dyan Reavely is an AMAZING artist!!! Her products look like an artists wish list for bliss! I am awestruck! Even my husband applauded her! My husband!!!?! I have so many beautiful ideas for cards and layouts-I can't wait to get dirty!!!! Also, a 'must check out' item is the new DIY Thickers! (I bet Megan Elizabeth over at Above Rubies Studio is going crazy over them!) What a great way to personalize any layout!!! ACK! So many ideas!!! Another product I am tripping over is Megan Elizabeth's new Edgers! FINALLY an edging ink pad made for me!!!! I also can't WAIT to see her Sparkle Lights! AHHHH! So many great things and I am going crazy with ideas and projects I can't wait to work on! Now if only I could find my money.....here, money money money!

    Hi, thanks for the lovely comment on my blog! I live close to where CHA was held and I did not go this year, mainly because my kids were super sick and we were suppose to have company in town... There is always next year or this summer!

I'm Finally Back!!! Well...almost.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is SO good to be 'back'! The past 6 weeks have been Hell!!! Ironically, the day of my last post, I got a prescription for an antibiotic to cure an infection I had in my right pointer finger. I have eczema and it is very sensitive to weather. During our hottest and driest week, my eczema became painfully dry and cracked which let in normal bacteria that is found on our hands. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and severe seasonal allergies. (Seasonal allergies were the worst this summer too!) So on top of all the 'fighting' my poor body was doing, the infection was too much and it overran my system. To make a long, and extremely painful, story short the infection overtook both my hands rendering them useless for the past 6 weeks. I am on my 6th or 7th course of antibiotics. After being in and out of the ER on IV antibiotics for a week and a half, and the infection only getting worse, the doctor finally admitted me to the hospital for 4 days last week

Bookm-ARGH! Card

Image
Good Monday morning, everyone! How is everybody today? I hope your weekend was fun. :) Mine was awesome. Got a LOT of cleaning done and then even more crafting done. Minus the fact that my chest infection keeps me from breathing....I had a good weekend. However, I am as clumsy as I could possibly be. I don't know what it has been this past week but I cannot seem to control my hands. They have been fumbling everything! Point in question? My first ever bookmark card. I thought I would try out another different style of card and I have always wanted to do a bookmark card. This one turned out BEAUTIFULLY...until I dropped my ink pad on it. >.> I was not impressed. Hence 'Bookm-ARGH' card. :) *tee hee* I've really been getting into stamping lately. I am waiting for my first set of stamping inks from Close to my Heart to arrive, (along with the Artiste cartridge EEEEE!). The stamps I used for this card are from Close to my Heart. The main sentiment is from the "P
