this is a copy of a card we made in stamp club last saturday. i was trying to come up with a color combo for linzy.


hold the phone!!!

thanh! please forgive me!! i swear i linked your blog yesterday. it's there now. go have a look see...off to the right there -------------> and down just a bit...

~time is a black hole~

do you know what sucks??? when you get up early, prepared to dive into your homework (that you absolutely hate!), then give yourself 1 hour. 60 lousy minutes. to check in on the shack...one thing leads to another...yada yada yada...it's 5 (yes FIVE!) hours later and you haven't even looked at your homework. everyone is in on this whole new blog craze. so you have wasted the past five hours making some stupid little card for your new blog on some website that advertises "free business cards". but no, you can't stop there. so then you end up making matching stationary for your cards for your new blog. why? who knows. i never write letters to anyone. i'm a card maker for cripes sakes! because they too are "free"...see what i'm gettting at!! and **poof** before you know it, you have been there for almost 6 hours (that's right...i'm not proud...but i did catch up on the shack *wave* hi everyone!) and you have coming, in just a few short weeks, the following: 250 new business cards (that are so stinkin' cute but who am i going to give 250 business cards to that advertise a freaking crafting blog???); a new customized notepad {will it be used for all those fabulous card ideas?}; a personalized desk calender--complete with photos of your boyfriend *sigh* and birthdates of everyone in your family; a post-it note pad (more paper to clutter up the table!); and 100 customized postcards (what was i thinking??? i don't even know 100 people!)! all for the bargain price of "free" plus $10.95 shipping.

so now you are asking yourself...is my homework done? well the answer to that, mr. bender, is yes. i whipped it out in about 45 minutes!!

sheesh...no wonder i'm tired!!!

ready, set, blog!

so i did it. i gave in, again, and started a new blog. this blog will be dedicated to my creative inner self (or not so creative, sometimes!) in the past few weeks, i've had a few people ask if i still had my website that i created a year or so ago. i didn't keep that site up, since i didn't have many people visit. so i decided to start a new blog, since i'm now more crafting savvy and have a few more friends in the stamping/scrapping realm. well, here it is!! i'll post stuff here and there...pretty much whenever i have time after work or school (which i'm usually putting off to craft!). feel free to leave comments if you'd like. constructive criticism if necessary. i'll try not to cry!!

happy crafting!
