Monday (and a prize…)

The weekend was so fun- Jason was home the whole time- a rare event! We went to the Sonoma County Fair, hung out, and enjoyed a whole lot of family time.

Now I’ve got all the makings of a fabulous Monday. (my fave day!) It’s bright and sunny, it’s national milk chocolate day, I just got a SWEET assignment, the girls slept in to 830 (me too- and first time in forever!!!), and my friend Amy is coming over for a “slumber party”. Though I suspect we’ll do more scrapbooking and less sleeping- I can’t wait!!! I’ve never had someone stay over (other than my mom and sister) who was going to be crafting with me. OOOH… this is going to be F-U-N!

Ok, actually I can wait a bit longer because I have to clear off the guest bed/room… aka my studio!

Anyhow- since I need to put all my energy into that today (with very little blog time!) I am going to offer a Monday prize! gotta share this good feeling! So- I’ll draw 2 winners of Cloud 9’s cocoa mint page kits! Yep- I’ve got 2 page kits and they need good homes! There will be some milk chocolate included as well- today is National Milk Chocolate day!! Just leave a comment here and I’ll draw next time I blog.

For now I’m off to stock up on sweet and salty treats for successful creating tonight!!!

I swore “no more scrapbooking” until I find these train brads I *NEED* for my current page. Well, I’ve logged in more than 10hrs of cleaning and still no sign of them. I’m starting to think that I didn’t buy them, I just meant to buy them. (slapping head in total homer simpson ‘doh’ moment)

The good news is that my embellishments and paper have not been this cleaned out since 2007! I have a long way to go in purging/cleaning… but it’s a good start. I’ll share more about the clean results next time. for now I want to share something I made (it’s not scrapbooking…) when stalling on cleaning.

Such a fun and easy project- a friend gave me an acrylic tag album, and instead of making an album I’ve been using the pages individually to make photo decor for the wall.

The photo and black paper is behind the acrylic. Then I adhered to the acrylic tag with foil tape around edges. SO FUN. OF course then just add fun do-dads and you’re set to jet!

Some happy mail winners!

Drawn random- as always- and to claim your goodie just shoot me an e-mail (with your mailing addy + whatcha won) at mflaum@comcast.net
