My Scrap Nook

Hey, everyone. Just wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! I know I have not been around hardly at all, especially during such a wonderful craft explosion of a holiday! But things are pretty overloaded at home and I am finding myself more depressed lately. Not so much during the day, but during the evening when my kidlets finally go down and I am able to sit and relax. There are so many things I want to do! Crafting, knitting, reading, writing, my schoolwork! But so little time and, by the end of the day, no energy. Not to mention how incredibly difficult it is to keep up with the crafting world considering I have NO money to spend on it. I think I have hit a bit of a plateau and that is giving me a hard time with my crafting. I have so many wonderful things! But in the end there are only so many things I can do and I feel my creativity is being held back. And to make it all that much more overloaded, the upcoming medical trip for my son has me completely stressed out. Not bei...

Hey, my peeps! (I sooo should NOT be up at this hour...) I have been hopping along with Robyn and her crew ! Check it out and hop along! Then proudly post your creation for all to see. Robyn and her team are so great and love seeing what everyone else comes up with. I know it wasn't made for the hop, but I have decided to use my kiddies' spooky ghosts as the project for the blog hop. One thing I am trying to do is get more creative on crafts I can do with my kidlets. I cannot seem to spend enough time with them and they are both SO IN LOVE with crafting! We kind of came up with this ghost project together at their little picnic table in our living room. I brought out some supplies and we went from there. The foam cups were daddy's idea! So it is a family project that my kiddies are so proud of! Every morning they come down to the living room and point out their ghosts dangling from the ceiling. (Mommy thought of using fishing line to hang them so it looks like they are floa...

Hey, guys! Sorry I haven't been around much. I have been spending a lot of time with the kids and my hubby. This past weekend was our Canadian Thanksgiving. I have also been working on some crafts with the kids for Halloween. I have some projects to post but need to finish. I will, however, leave you with pics of my my two oldest children and their spooky ghosts that we made out of foam cups, pipe cleaners, and googly eyes! Take care, everyone!

Well, I am finally home. The trip I took with my 3 1/2 yr old son to Edmonton, Alberta was fun. It was crazy busy too, but we were able to squeeze in a very fun half day at West Edmonton Mall with my sisters and their sweet darlings. I am actually sitting in bed right now because I am sick. LoL Yup! One 3 day trip and I am wiped! Mind you, it had a lot to do with the fact that our plane home was delayed from 8:30pm to midnight. I am EXHAUSTED. Yup! We spent HOURS in the airport with a 6mnth old and 3 1/2 yr old. (I should really stop saying 3 1/2. He will be 4 in two months! Yikes!) Then a nice 1 1/2 hr flight home. I was up 19 hrs+ trying to keep up with my energizer bunny! Anyway, it was quite the trip and I even got to hit a Michaels! I am so excited. I grabbed some pretty sweet deals and can't WAIT to start making projects with my newest toys. :) However, it will have to wait until this head cold/chest infection is gone. Oh the joys of being sick! Just keep the Neo Citron comin...

Hey, everybody. I hope y'all are having a great week-and look! It's almost the weekend! Yay! LoL Anyway, just checking in to say hi. I know I haven't been around much and certainly haven't got much crafting done. Things have been a little crazy around here. In two weeks our 3 yr old boy is going for a bunch of assessments to find out if he is autistic. It's definitely nerve wracking but at least we will have some answers that may make life a bit easier around here. Our boy is so precious and special, but definitely a handful! Also, I have been working on trying to get back into school as well as I have a huge Avon party coming up next week that was originally postponed due to a mix up of shipments. So anxiety all around in LARGE helpings!!! LOL But I will be doing plenty of crafts for the party as well as both my boys' birthdays are coming in November which means-more crafting! YAY!!! So, for all you peeps out there who are checking in once in a while, I have no...
