scrappy stuff for sale

I'm in a purging mood. I need to simplify things and that goes for my scrap room, too. So, in an effort to do that I'm going through and deciding what I really don't need (yes, I said need, not want) and I'm either selling it, pitching it, or giving it away.

So here goes for the stuff for sale (not all of it, but what I've gotten through so far!) I've listed this stuff on etsy and ebay so if you're interested head over there (if not, just ignore this post or scroll through the pretty pics of scrappy stuff!)

BIG Cosmo Cricket kit

Basic Grey paper


MME Festive paper ~ I love it but I have too much Christmas paper. BTW, these papers make great Christmas cards.

MME Kaleidescope ~ these papers remind me of summer, so bright and fun

MME Wild Asparagus

7Gypsies

Can you tell I went through a My Mind's Eye phase? I still love them but honestly, one person can't possibly use this much paper. And even after I took all that stuff out I still have 5 paper holders full of paper. You know, the ones that hold like 200 sheets. Can you believe I have so much stuff??? My friends who know me can believe it. hehe Whew, but it'll feel good to get some of this outta here and simplify. I've really made a conscious effort to only buy scrap stuff that I know I will use. I no longer buy just because it looks pretty. If I'm not going to use it then it does me no good sitting in a paper holder. So now I need to get rid of all the stuff that I bought before I made that decision!

I also have some Sizzix dies and stamps up for sale on ebay and goodie boxes on etsy.

That's it for now. I'm also putting some kits together for etsy, so I'll share that when they're done. Until then...

December Daily for sale

I just finished another December Daily album. Only this one is going up on ebay. I almost wanted to keep this one for myself for next year! Anyway, you can check out more pics of it here.













I'm working on my album right now so I hope to have pictures of week 1 to share with you all tomorrow.

Have a great night!

lizards, cleaning, & lots of Tylenol (and a little scrapbooking thrown in)

Yep, that about sums up my week. Trying to do some catch up from last week. My house is a wreck. The dogs are shedding like CRAZY which means daily vacuuming. Yuck! I swear, I've brushed enough fur off my golden retriever to make a few very warm coats ;-)

Thursday I had a friend in my scrap room

Yeah, this little critter somehow made its way in there. I think it was God's way of saying "hey Michelle, your room's a mess, clean it up!!" I was very proud of myself that I managed to catch him all by myself.

Message to all critters, insects & bugs ~ I realize that my house is nice and warm and there is the occasional crumb on the floor to munch up. But the hotel is CLOSED! Seek shelter elsewhere please!!

I swear, this is the 2nd lizard in the last month that has made it into my house. The last one my dog tried to catch and, well, he lost his tail. Hey, come into a house with 2 big dogs and something's bound to happen! Oh, and did I mention I've also found 2 scorpions in the last month. They were dead, but still!!

Sleeping through the night was short lived. It only lasted one night :( And Friday my son came down with a fever. Great. A broken leg and a fever. Isn't that fun?? He seems to be doing a bit better right now so I'm hoping it was just some little bug that will be gone soon. I really should own stock in Tylenol (or whatever company owns it). Between his broken leg and being sick we're on our 3rd bottle of Tylenol. Sheesh!!

Oh and I'm pretty much finished with my holiday planner. I'll have this one up on ebay tomorrow night.

quick post

This is going to be quick cause I have a million things to do today and tomorrow. We have gymnastics after school today and tomorrow is sign up for hockey. I can't wait to see my 4 year old in a hockey suit!! hee hee Who knew little boys could be so much fun?? I always thought the girls were more fun but I'm finding out that it's pretty equal.

Anyway, I've been working on another layout for ebay:

I got the inspiration to paper piece the haunted house from a sticker I found at Target. Goes to show you that you can find inspiration anywhere! Anyway, it'll be up tonight and you can check it out here. I think this one is going to be the last of the Halloween stuff (for the most part) for ebay. Once I finish the kids' treats for school, Sunday School, and teachers I'll be ready to move on to Christmas stuff!

Lots to do, chat later!!!

Halloween layouts ~ fall challenge

I created a couple more layouts for the CCPS Fall Challenge that will be listed on ebay tonight.

I bought the Debbie Mumm paper pad about a week ago and just now got a chance to crack it open. These papers are soooo cute!!! I may have to buy another pack for myself. There's fall, Halloween and Christmas in the pack and most of them are glittered and embossed. I can't wait to create some Christmas pages with this paper. I also bought a few new Sizzix dies which is how I made the ghosts and Halloween candy. To check out all of the Croppin' Chics fall creations, click here.

Fall Challenge

It's time for the Croppin' Chics' fall challenge! Click here to see all of our creations!!! The challenge runs all week. There are some super cute ones, too :)

working on...

Ok, I have to say that my Internet and blogger are driving me crazy this morning!!! Ugh!!!

Anyway, I've said it before but I am SO ready for fall. I'm ready for the cool weather, for the leaves to change, picking pumpkins, making Halloween treats. I'm ready for all of it. And with the weather being much cooler in the mornings lately I'm even more ready for it!

This is what I'm working on right now...


The Croppin' Chics are having a fall challenge next week. And I thought I'd do something a little different so I came up with these little bears. I've done the tear bears before (the ones with the mulberry paper) but honestly I just do not have the patience for those....tracing the pattern, wetting the paper, pulling them apart, waiting for them to dry, attaching them. Ugh, not for me! I get frustrated when it takes me more than a day to finish something! These bears took me a few days cause I had to find just the right size for the head and paws. A lot of trial and error. Thank goodness for my Silhouette!! Now that I have the right size I have it saved on my computer so I can just open it back up and cut more when I need to.

I'm also working on some Christmas cards for these special people:

Oh, and here's something that's fun. Yeah, this one was no surprise to me. Is there any other flavor than chocolate???

You Are A Chocolate Ice Cream Girl

Dramatic. Powerful. Flirty.

What Flavor Ice Cream Girl Are You?
