Good news - Make & Take Give-a-way

While cleaning up my SB stuff from Crop Binge I came across some extra make & takes for this Heidi Swapp Post-It-Note Holder....so 5 lucky people who entered a comment here will get a kit for it plus the instructions.

Share the love

I had such an awesome weekend at Crop Binge!!  Got to meet some great new friends and catch up with old ones...it was a blast!  I'm still trying to recover from the major lack of sleep though LOL.

So, since Crop Binge was such a success we want to share the love with one of you who were unable to make it.  Just leave a comment below & I'll randomly pick who gets a left over Crop Binge goodie bag chocked full of SB stuff.  You have until July 7th to get in on this.  Good luck!

Can't wait....

Well, I'm almost packed...somewhat....and I'm totally ready to go to Crop Binge.  I can't wait, this is going to be such a fun weekend! 

LO storage

Ok, I know I've mentioned it before, but I'm lazy when it comes to putting my LOs into albums.  A question at Two Peas came up about it so I thought I'd share what I do.  When I finish a LO I stick it in a stack of LOs that are in a plate holder on a shelf.  I like doing this because I get to see the LO for awhile & it helps me to be more productive by not stopping to stick it in the album.  Once the rack gets full I sort through my LOs and put them into the correct albums....I do Stacy Julian's library of memories method for my albums.

An oldie, but a goodie

As you all know, I often forget to post projects I work on...I know, shame on me...anyways, I thought I'd share this project from my Heidi Swapp class at BPS that I did a way long time ago & never shared.  It was really fun to do this to a mirror!!!  A little tedious to do so many rub-on letters, but I love the finished project!  Please bare with the photos of it....a mirror is a super hard thing to photograph.  Deanna, any tips for how to photograph mirrors????

Busy days

Sorry I haven't been around much....

I have been super busy with work/home stuff & also trying to finish up the last bit of prep for Crop Binge.  I still need to get all my projects together that I want to work on there....I think I'm gonna finish a lot of stuff for my swaps for CKU...at least that's my hope....I'm usually so distracted (aka: talking) that I don't get near enough done when I'm SBing in a social environment...I'd love to get the majority of swaps DONE before July.  I really can't believe it's almost July!!!  Which means it's almost my Bday....yikes!  I'll be 33 this year....that's kinda neat to be double 3's.....I'll have to think of something special to do.

Sorry for the rambling post!  Geez, two sorry's in one post LOL!!

Me and My Freckle Friends Crop

I had a BLAST at the FF crop on Saturday!  Here's some of the people I cropped with....click on the pix if you want to see them bigger.

               

Check out Gabrielle's recap of the crop...I totally agree with her, it was the best crop evah!  (And check out all the awesome make & takes we did!)

I'll share the scans of the LOs I did as soon as Susan is able to post them.

Oh, and guess what I won in the silent auction?  An Amy Tangerine t-shirt!!! 

I ended up staying down there Saturday night & shared a hotel room with some friends and then we hit the Red Bee for their sidewalk sale on Sunday before heading home.

Fun Times!!

Now I just have to put all my SB stuff back in order & put away my new purchases so I can be ready to get all the projects I want to work on for Crop Binge together.
