Looky Looky.. I'm Posting!

This past weekend I was in a crafty haze.. I did really well and completed two new classes! I hosted a 10 hour crop at Scrapbook Territory and it was really fun and I also got to celebrate my BFF's Birthday, Happy Birthday Lora!

First is a super cute Valentine Day Holder. This opens up to a three tiered area, with tags, envelopes, and a mini album. Perfect for you to make for your loved one! It is on Sunday February 6th at 2pm. Its only $25, and you get so much product! I am spoiling you on this one!

The second is my long awaited Configurations Box! I have filled this to the BRIM with vintage goodies.. I am a antique show junkie and have been saving lots of things for such a project and you'll receive a bunch of it. This class is on February 26th at 1pm. This class is a long one so plan for the rest of the day. Cost is $50


Also, don't forget to sign up for The Art Life Valentine Day Crop! The projects I am making are so stinkin cute! I love Vintage Valentine Art and they will be super cute. I'll have pics to show later this week.

Both classes and the crop are at Scrapbook Territory so call them up starting tomorrow (their closed on Mondays) to sign up for one or all three, I guarantee you'll have a great time in all of them! 510-559-9929.

I wasn't planning on going to CHA this year, but seeing all the beautiful product, I am trying to plan a quick trip down for a day or two so I hope to see alot of my friends there drooling too!

Woweee My Poor Neglected Blog


Now that I look at my blog, I miss it.. I really LOVE the look and design of my blog and its pretty, and I like to look at it. A funny thing though about blogs... its hard to keep them up! With the way today's technology is going so fast, Facebook, Tweeting (which I just can't do), emailing and everything else, the poor ole blog gets neglected. I even made a new years resolution to start it up again and post once a week. I am really going to try to do that. I am going to put an alarm in my new IPhone I got for Christmas and keep in touch. I want to share my life, my art, and my projects with everyone, but life does get in the way. Over the holidays, I was overwhelmed with family, friends and just life in general and am still trying to find my way back to being organized and sharing.. sharing.. things that are meaningful, things that might make you think a little bit more about something you didn't think of. I don't know.. maybe my blog will be just useless blabber about things.. lol!
Tony came to me this past weekend and wants to make his own scrapbook. Makes a momma proud when her boy says that... we go shopping, get the supplies, then every five minutes.. when are we scrapbooking mommmy? "As soon as I finish getting the laundry moved"... then "as soon as I get dinner going"... I felt so bad.. finally when we did sit down together, we had a fantastic time, and he loved it.. the first thing he said to me today was "when are we going to do our doggie pages mommy?"... "well honey, you have to go to school, I have to do some work and we need to run errands..".. so for now.. I leave you to go play with Tony and scrapbook his doggie pages.. I will share his cover of his book tonight and promise to keep this up and share more... with all my love to my friends....
