My Favorite Things At Croppinsville

Allie, owner of Croppinsville has asked all her designers (yes, I'm one) to do layouts of their favorite things to scrapbook with. I took my camera to the store and started snapping pictures. Some items are common supplies, and other are fun little accents. This is a picture on one of my favorites, Dew Drops. I seem to put them on every page. Go to Croppinsville and check out the album of Favorite Scrapbook supplies.

Cruisin'

I am taking an Alaskan cruise in May with my parents. I made this coin book for my mother. Each page has a spot for journaling and memorabilia can be placed inside the pockets. I used warm yellow, oranges and browns from my scraps. This was a nice way to use up my scraps.

Best Friends

I am so excited I get to see my best friend (since 3rd grade) this weekend. I could not imagine life with out her. I wish everyone could have a friendship like we have. We have no plans, we just usually hang out and talk. This weekend we are going to help her dad work cattle. I'll try to get pictures. I know you think I couldn't possible know how to work cattle, but I DO. Thanks to a ex husband who liked to rope and my job I've learned quite a bit about cattle. Its hard to look cut with cow poop on you, so the pictures won't be my best.

February and March Calender

I have the February and March calenders up at Croppinsville. Go by and take a look. Here is a preview.

I never stop learning. Titus 3:2

Last night i was reading the book of Titus. The book is only one page long, but full of useful information. I really loved Pauls instructions on how to live. Chapter 3:2 Speak no evil about anyone, to live in peace with all. to be gentle and polite to all people. As my faith becomes stronger, the speak no evil is getting easier, and i have alot of peace, but be gentle and polite to all, is more difficult. Think of the lady blocking the isle in Walmart.She parks on the left and looks at can goods on the right. AARRG. I squeeze by and roll my eyes of impatiences. I will be working on that one.

Snap Shots

I have been very busy since my last post. For anyone who is taking the photography class at Croppinsville I have created an acrylic album for the photos you will be taking. It is made with a acrylic bobunny album and bobunny papers. For those who take the class I will print your pictures to fit the page. Go by the store or visit the web site to find out more. www.croppinsville.com. The album was hard to photograph but, i think you get the idea.

More pictures,,, my cute pink sewing machine, metal towel rack that holds ribbon and the 3 tier cute metal candy tray. I really like the dark metal stuff.

This is the messy area. 2 white book shelves i have had for 6 years. 12 in rubbermaid drawer units. The drawers are organized by color, then tools and glues. Miscellaneous jars and baskets. everything is accessible.

This is my Circut workstation, I used an old shelf that was in the garage to put my cartrdges on. The art work was done by Jennifers step sister Beth. The cabinet is an old TV stand. The white paper holder was made for me several years ago by a good friend Shawn. ( I miss seeing Shawn and Kelly).

Scrap Room

The room is finally done enough to use. I love it. I still have curtains to buy and a few items to paint. I can't wait to have friends over to scrap. I will post a few pictures and some descriptions.

No Post

I am sitting here at work on my lunch break and I realize I haven't taken a picture of any of my new projects or of my scrap room. So tonight I will try to post some pictures. Have a blessed day...

Psalms 25:4-5

Lord, tell me your ways. Show me how to live. Guide me in your truth. Teach me Lord, I trust you all day long.

Sometimes I have to ask for doors to be opened wide so I can see where to go. Other times I forget to take my sunglasses off.....hhmmmm

Calendar Pages

Do you ever have trouble keeping up with events?I am designing monthly calendar pages for Croppinsville. Monthly calendar kits can be ordered at Croppinsville. January's calendar is on display now and February's will be up next week.

Use the calendar to right down events, cute things your kids say or just your schedule. When you develop your pictures you'll have the dates from your calendar. No more trying to figure out what day something happened on. Remember to take pictures of your everyday life. The time you share with someone is a special gift.

Scrap Room

Here it is almost 2 in the morning and I am still working on my new scrap room. Here are a few more peaks of the new room. It's getting closer to being done.
