If you give....you will receive..

I think the saying goes something like that. Last week I gathered up some of the kids summer clothes that nolonger fit & took them to Goodwill. After getting my receipt; I decided to just run inside for a quick second. Of course I headed straight for the craft aisle. Imagine my surprise to find this 2-drawer cube storage for $4.00 when it retails for $29.99 at Michael's. They had 2; but I only bought 1 since I'm on a "scrapbook shopping restriction". They also had several unopened Cricut cartridges for $5.00 each. I did not buy any of those...cause I already had them. Took me 10 minutes to put together. So, because I donated $300 dollars worth of clothes...I was able to receive the $4.00 storage...yes, this is my strange way of justifying buying another craft item...SMH.

Finally...Pictures of my Craft Room

Here are pictures I took of my scraproom prior to me getting my Black Trestle Desk. I'll post updated pics by the end of the week with my new desks.


View from my door. This desk is now for sale. I bought it from Ikea 2 months ago. It is 70L X 35W. Let me know if you would like it.

This is my craft storage. Jet Max Cubes hold 2 bins of stamps, 2 bins of punches, 1 bin of acrylic stamps &ink, small paper stacks, Cardstock, kits. Acrylic paper tray holds pattern paper sorted by manufacter. Hanging on the wall is a white tray that I got from Homegoods that holds my Thickers. Other Making Memories storage holds printer ink, paper & photo paper. The 2 pink butter fly trays are magnetic boards. The C & K Creative Imagination letter I spray painted Black. The Chandelier Things to do erase board I bought at Home goods. The pink wall basket holds all misc letters which also came from Homegoods. A 2 tier Clip it up, a 1 tier Clip it up complete this space.

Sketchy Thursday's April GDT

I enjoyed working with this sketch...& life got in the way of me submitting the entry in time. No worries. It was fun creating it. So, here is my take on the sketch @Sketchy Thursdays.

Has it really been a week????

I have been soo busy with work & home stuff that I have not had chance to blog, do a layout or anything crafty.... I'll try to create alittle later today (it's Friday already). Here are pics of me & my little lady at Ihop for dinner.
(Kat, I'm including food pics just for ya)

My take...Sketch 110

Here is my take on Sketch 110 over at The Scrappiest. I used: Fancy Pants PP, Recollection flowers,
Basic Grey hearts, American Craft Thickers, Prima Pearls, Dollie & Bazzill Cardstock.
Pictures of my comfy Northface boots hubbie bought me....

Restaurants....

Hubbie & I have decided to take the kids to a different restaurant at least one a week...sometimes it's twice. The kids love going out & ordering from the kids menu. It give us a break from cooking after working all day. Here is where we've been in the last 2 weeks...Applebees, Cadillac Ranch & Outback.

Another great weekend has gone...

Had fun this past weekend spending time with my FAMILY (Hubbie & the kids). Saturday was Volkswagon Day @ Verizon Center...so hubbie got tickets free from his dealership & we took the kiddies to the Wizard game. Of course we ARE NOT Washington Wizards fans, we are LAKER Fans!But we had a great time & the Wizards finally won a game.

Craigslist Find...

So, I've been kinda bummded that everytime I email/call about an item on Craigslist..it is sold. So yesterday, I glance at my phone and saw an add for "Contemporary Desk". I could use one for my office/craft room; so I called the number. The lady said she had 2 that had to be gone last night for $50 each & I was the 1st person to call (Yeah ME). I told her my husband would only let me buy one; so we'd be there in 10 minutes.
Imagine my surprise when I got there and found the desks for sale were the Target Trestle Desk that costs $319.99. So, after we loaded the desk into the truck; the seller said. I'll give you the 2nd table for free since I'm a scrapbooker.
So here is a picture of my desk that I got 2 desks for $50.....Now I have to redo my craftroom this weekend.

Sketchy Thursday...

I was kind of excited about using my Echo Park "For the Record" Pattern Paper & Alpha Stickers. So, I printed out a picture from GNO (Girls Night Out) on Prez* Day. Also used Recollection Flowers, Prima Felt, American Craft Thickers.

National Pancake Day!

Today is that day. I have been thinking about IHOP's short stack of pancakes All day. So I convinced the family to go. Upon arrival the line was out of the restaurant..cause Ihop was giving pancakes for FREE TODAY!! So we went to Outback instead (BTW Tuesday is $2 drinks all night). I quickly forgot about pancakes as I enjoyed my Blooming Onion, Potato soup, steak and several drinks. Kiddies had several loaves of bread...
