Welcome to my crafty little corner! Feel free to comment and follow me on my path to creativity. I love meeting new people, so don't be shy! Scrapbooking, journaling, making felt plushies, embroidery, painting, photography, blogging, organizing, reading, and sewing are some of my most favorite things.
I went to Hobby Lobby and Wal-mart the other day for the sole purpose of getting a handful of things.. Little did I know I would be walking out with a lot more than a handful... I seriously can't control myself in craft stores.. Impulse buyer much? I have no reason why all this shouldn't last me a very long time and keep me really busy for the next month!! I find my craft space getting a little cramped and need to find like a cubby space for all my storage boxes, anyone now where to find a cute cubby space for kinda cheap? Here's some of my crafty goodness I thought I would share! Come craft with me? hehe
Lots of pretty yarn.. anyone want to help me roll this?? I love all the fun colors!! Now what should I make? I always end up doing more collecting of yarn than making anything it seems. Trying to get this crocheting thing down still...
Felts, contact paper, tons of tissue paper and fabric scraps
Glues, adhesives, paper-clips, Style School project supplies, ribbon, misc everything!!!!
Stamps, ink pads and cards (they were on sale I couldn't help myself)
I also finished birthday cards from January-April for Happy Mail peeps, so sorry they are late January birthdays :(
Annnnnddddd I received Carol's Happy Mail!!!! Crocheted chap stick holder, a yarn button necklace, stickers, yarn, notebook, candle... LOVE IT ALL!!! Thanks so much Carol!!!
I found myself quite overwhelmed with my TO DO list last night, I not only have a notepad, but I write things on post-it notes and stick them above my desk so I see them as a reminder. When I looked up and saw about 15 post-it notes with 2 or 3 things on each one, I had a mini freak-out. So I wrote them all down AGAIN in my calendar and separated them into different days as to make it easier to accomplish. *Mini freak-out ends* I was able to pull down about 5 of those post-it notes today just from being more organized and getting stuff done instead of being overwhelmed and just staring at them! I have a lot of fun projects I'm working on this week and can't wait to show you guys!
What fun projects are you working on this week??
xoxo,

Wow! I'm loving all that yarn!! I want to go craft shopping with you someday! I bet you would find the best stuff!! I'm glad you like your happy mail! That candle smelled like skittles to me... I almost bought one for myself! haha!
ReplyDeleteHahaha ooo you make me laugh! I will be right with you though when I go out Saturday shopping. I love the yarn colors, and all the fun stamps! I keep wanting to pick up that Hello Kitty ribbon too and I always forget (Ray rushes me in there lol). Play date next week and we are making HEARTS!! WOOO! BTW thanks for being there for me last night, I would be so lost without you and I am so thankful for you as a friend! We will get each other through this, Ray is trying to get on the 1st deployment btw so he won't have to miss holidays with Addy for a 2nd time UGH! If you want me to explain what happened last time let me know... that way you won't be totally lost like I was. Its hard and we will cry on each other lots, but we can do it, we have one another and Addyson has Kaylee and Hayden! Thanks for being there for me I love youuu!!

Wowza look at all that stuff! I'm not one to talk though. Corey and I went to spotlight to buy fabric for 1 project and ended up with fabric for 3 projects some zippers and some scrapbooking stuff. I can spend hours in there and not even realise it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you need another craft table! Can't wait to see my chapstick koosie..! Love all the fun bright yarn colors you found. It's always easier when you find things on sale. I bet you had so much fun shopping.....keep crafting you put smiles on faces...luv ya.. momma
ReplyDeleteI so want to go shopping with you! I have to take a list and promise that I won't be long - husbands are not always the best craft shoppers. Tomorrow I'm going alone, but that sometimes leads to TROUBLE.
ReplyDeleteWow! I LOVE yarn and yours is soooo pretty, what brand is it? I really want to go craft shopping, but the closest Joann's, Hobby Lobby or Micheals is over an hour away from me, boo! I love that you always put so much thought into everything that you create!
ReplyDeletexoxo~Meg

Can't wait to get Daytona and see Jimmie in person... luvs momma
ReplyDeleteYou and I should NEVER go shopping together. I have the same problem. I love yarn way too much. I so love the red/pink verigated yarn you bought! I so dont' have that:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great happy mail you received too!
You and I are two peas in a pod, I can never go into a craft store with just what was on my list! Did you buy the woodgrain tack paper at Walmart or Hobby Lobby, I need it!
ReplyDeletethanks for letting me know where to pick up the wood grain tack paper now to find a flat clock!
ReplyDeleteWow, what an exciting bundle of stuff! :) and so much yarn haha, its pretty. This week Im doing something a bit more painterly than crafty... recreating a section of a very old but gorgeous painting by botichelli! (spelling?) its not the prettiest thing ever, but the figures are beautiful. might post a wee pic when im done. No wonder you have such a big to do list, youre always so busy! :) thanks for sharing xx
ReplyDeletei love the leopard tissue paper. so great!
ReplyDeleteGoing to the craft store is not good for my wallet either! I usually only go because I need something, and I try to limit myself to getting only that thing these days. It's so hard though!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great stuff...have fun girl. Mika (www.mikascrap.typepad.com)
ReplyDeleteoh me, oh my! it's official, i'm coming to play.
ReplyDeleteOh :O you went crazy! haha you look like a FUUUN shopping partner :) Everything is so pretty!
