Hello chickies! Hope you are having a good weekend so far. I've been surfing pretty much all day..nooo the net, silly girls.It's so amazing to me how many talented women are out there in blogland. Totally amazing. I feel like a little fish in a huge ocean of talent. Sometimes I look at things and wonder to myself, how the heck did she come up with that technique or that idea? I've begun to set up files on some of my fav things I've seen and want to keep for future use to try for myself. So I feel good about that. I love organizing.
While I've been sick the last 3 weeks, I've also taken time to organize my pics into files. What a job! For example, Papertrey Ink just released their January stamp sets and dies today and during the countdown, I've saved the pictures that design team have taken showing off the new products. I've found that sometimes it takes me months to get to actually using the stamps and by that time I've forgotten about the inspiration cards/items that the design team came up with and then I gotta go back to their blogs and research all that and jeemany Christmas that takes time! I want to have inspirational pics of every stamp set I have and by golly, I've done it!! I feel sooooo good! So now when I want to use a stamp, I just go to that file with the name of that stamp and there in front of me will be some examples of how others have used the stamp. I pretty much already know what I'm going to do but it's always interesting to see what others do.
Here are some tags I made BEFORE I started really scrapping.Didn't even know about stamps yet-only punches. I made these up for my customers who bought primitive dolls from me as little gifts of appreciation.
Here's another set. I love brown with pink and turquoise! I remember making these because the doll I made for the tags was a bunny wearing a turquoise and brown dress.Gosh I'm so glad I don't have to stuff dolls anymore! LOL
And here's my table where I create...I cannot even walk by the table without cringing. Those are my Christmas cards that I haven't finished yet. I'm so embarrassed!
So let's change the subject of my messy table and take a peek at Deucy Boy who just hopped into the laundry basket minutes after Dave took the clothes out of the dryer. Thank God Dave doesn't have his tidy whities on top! LOLActually he wears printed briefs but don't tell him I told the world about it. LOL It will be our little secret.
So that's it for me tonight. Gonna go read my Kindle and have a banana!
