October...Croppin' for a Cure

Hi all...it's me!!

I have been MIA caring for my son during his leg injury that he suffered in July. We are still thankful for all the prayers and kind words from everyone. He is still healing & we are still in recovery mode. I've been trying to scrapbook when I get a moment...but I definitely miss from creating every day...

Thanks to my BFF...I crafted for an entire day!

I was invited recently by Queen Kat  to attend a  "Crop out Cancer" event. For those that know me, I rarely scrapbook away from home & do not like to drive far. But I'm so glad that I went. It was an amazing crop with wonderful door prizes. So, as this is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, please do what you can to support this cause...even if it is just to do periodic breast exams & of course wear PINK!

 An amazing door prize that I did not win...but I did win 3 items in the silent auctions :)

Just me & my BFF who said she did not like this picture.

September Blogger Posts

August "Scrap Your Crap" Challenge

This month's Scrap Your Crap Challenge #68 is to pull EYELETS and/or BRADS from your stash. You can use both if you'd like. Since I've streamlined some of scrappy supplies (ie. I'm giving away stash to buy NEWLY released items from CHA) & only found a handful of heart brads. 

I've never used eyelets thus I had none to use on my layout.

 (Shh...I do have a Eyelet setter in my craft room...but I've never used it)

Pictured is me & my guy on our mini summer vacation.

Don't forget to link your project HERE. We'd love to see your Eyelet and/or Brad creations!

VACATION...has ended!

For the month of July (okay & most of June) I've been on a unofficial vacation from my BLOG. For those that are close to me you know that June/July have been super crazy. I have been MIA from my Design Team's & commenting on your blogs.

So, hold on as I catch you up on the last 2 months.
