This is our fourth month and we are getting closer to having 100 members. We have some great challenges every month with some great prizes !!!! I am really stepping out of my comfort zone lately - been doing alot of altered items. Thanks to one of our new members (Karen) I have been working on some Fairy Houses. Learning some new things (did my first house in what is called "Shabby Chic". Who ays you can't teach a old dog new tricks - lol !!!

I am now a Design Team member on Vintage Flaire.....

I was asked to be the card lady........whoo hooo !!! I am kinda new to the vintage stuff, did a few pages for hubby family album. They were okay but I think I am getting the hang of it and my things are looking better. Go over and take a look at : http://vintageflaire.ning.com/

Carnivals are always a {fun} place with so much going on. So keeping along those lines, we've put together a small "midway" of activities for you to complete during our {SAS}sy Fun Month.

For each activity you complete, you will receive a ticket! The tickets will be entered into a drawing for some fun prizes courtesy of Scrap Attack Scrapbooking! At the end of the {SAS}sy Fun Month, we'll total the tickets, enter them into a drawing and pull some random winners! The more you play, the better your chances are to win some fun stuff courtesy of Scrap Attack Scrapbooking!

Feburary is here !!!!

I have been good, getting blogging done alot more this year - just need to keep it up. I am going crazy with the waiting on my design team call. I sent my stuff in on the 1st and won't hear anything until the 9th. If (and I say if because there are probably zillions of ladies trying out for it) I make it, then there is another step to get thru ! I really worked hard on theses projects and about drove everyone crazy, but I was happy with what I turned in. Hope they agree !!!! LOL Close To My Heart is going good, I have my first Gathering on the 7th and then another on the 15th. Here's hoping I get another booking from one of them.

It is Official................

I received my starter kit in the mail and I have my first Gathering (scrap party) on Feb.7th. I also started up a Hostess Club where ten ladies get together for a year and each is a hostess for one month. We have nine members but still waiting to hear from a few ladies, so should have it filled soon. I also placed an ad on my home association website so hoping to get peoples attention in my area. Here are pictures of my first Make n Takes .

Another New Adventure For Me This Year........

I signed up to be a Close To My Heart Consultant. Oh me, oh my......what am I getting myself into. I love scrapbooking and card making so I thought what better for me to do. Hopefully I will be able to get up in front of people I do not know and sound intelligent !!!! LOL Wish me luck in this - I will need it ! Right now I am taking classes online for my Bachelor's Degree !!!! I kid you not !!!!!

Design Team

I'm doing it again.....said I was thru with this stuff, but I just love these diecuts and said if I am gonna work my butt off and then be a nervous wreck only to be upset cuz I don't take rejection well - I might as well do it for something I am so addicted to. I am trying out for the design team for Spellbinders. I have four projects to do and a short essay. I have to do a layout, a card, an altered item and a stamping item of my choice. I have cards done (just have to pick which one to submit)and I am finishing up the small details on the altered item this weekend. I am hopeing to do the layout of some of my daughter's wedding pictures and will probably do another card for the stamping project ( I just love making cards)! The essay will be the hardest for me - never been to good at talking about myself. Well wish me luck !!!!!
