Cats!!!

I confess I'm just not a cat person. I've tried but my nose just can't get along with them. That said though I love the layouts I just came across on Lexidh's Google+ page. The sketches are just wonderful and the cats are adorable. Go check her out.

In memory of a new angel

Over the last few years I've followed Paper Haven regularly. First for her amazing card designs and then for her battle against cancer. Katie Renz was a young woman about my age with three small boys. Yesterday her husband Kevin reported that she was finally able to end her fight and find peace at 5 am yesterday morning. My prayers go out to Kevin and her sons.

Made by Manda

Still cleaning house so I haven't done any crafting of my own. In sorting through my email though I came across Manda's blog and just wanted to give her a shout-out. I don't know about you but I struggle constantly trying to figure out what to do with scraps. She has some great ideas how to use those little edges or scraps that I would normally throw out. Since organizing my scraps is on my to-do list I'm definitely going to keep her projects in mind. Just love this layout of hers. Go check out her blog

Do you have any new ideas on what to do with scraps?

Hot Chocolate

Other than just the great prices one of my favorite parts of shopping at Crop Chocolate is the Hot Chocolate. Unpacked my last two orders today and here's what was in the hot chocolate.
When you check out from CropChocolate, there is the option to add an item called "Hot Chocolate". It's a grab bag for $2.49 and worth at least $5 (we've all decided it's typically more than that!)

Trying to Get Organized

Trying to mass organize and purge my scrapping supplies
Got the stickers finished today. Page kits and paper are next.
Right now with so many supplies its a bit overwhelming to find the time and space to scrap.
Hoping to find a new crop spot in the city.

What have I done that you've missed?

Not really much. With my injury I didn't do much this spring/summer. Hoping to change that now that fall's coming. Hoping to pick up some more jobs so if you're looking for bookmarks, cards, invites, etc then hit me up

Update on My Life

Nope I haven't gotten lost Just been a bit MIA. I took a bad fall at the end of March and since then have been off and on leave. I've been in a bit of pain and slightly loopy so haven't been too scrappy. I've done some small cards, cuts and paper piecing that I'll post in the next couple days.
I'm also doing a purge of both craft items and books to a) make space and b) to try to supplement some of the income loss.
Check out my ebay and etsy at http://myworld.ebay.com/galaxy1979/ and http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=6954824 to see some of the items I have for sale. The scrappy items that are not posted in the next day from the list below will then be added to ebay.

Just thought I'd ask you first and see if I can save myself the hassle of ebay. Trying to make enough so that I can supplement the loss in pay and still do a couple fun things I had planned. Unless it says otherwise the items are brand new. Shipping is based on zip code. I cant get to the regular PO right now so sorry but I can't do international shipping. Let me know if you need a photo. I've tried to find links to items since I cant attach photos here.
