Catch Up

Happy New Year everyone! I know I'm only 11 days late! LOL!  But it's still the new year don't ya think? (^_<).  So how was/is everyone's new year?  Mine? Interesting to say the least. Lots of stuff going on, had family over for the holidays and life is slowly going back to normal (I hope!).  For those that are friends with me on FB, I recently deactivated it.  I just figured I needed a break and if I didn't deactivate it, I would log on while I was bored or waiting in the car to peek into the lives of my friends and I just wanted it to be like the good ole days.  I like to find out what's happening w/friends the old fashion way...you know, write, call or see them in person and catch up.  So I have no clue when or if I'll reactivate it.  Right now it's been nice, not knowing everyone's business or vice versa...LOL!  So if you were wondering, no, I didn't defriend you or block you (^_^)

OK, onto a few pictures to catch you up (I am posting pics from my phone, so some pictures may be grainy).  

LO of my trip to Paris (more to come).  I decided to scrap the old fashion way...with actual paper and embellies that you can actually touch (^_^)

I'm so in love with AT's mini books and I just can't get enough!  Even though I know how to make these, I find it way more convenient to just grab me some of Amy's and scrap away.  I'll be using mine for my travel journals so I'm really excited to go on my next vacay...I'm hoping it'll be back to Japan springtime.  Crossing my fingers.

M got me the Cameo (which I absolutely love, love, love!) for Christmas/Bday...but who are we kidding? I'm buying some crafty stuff and playing the bday card, am I lucky to have a support and giving dh...hahaha!

I participated in Dec Daily and slowly putting it together.  Its a lot harder when you took pictures w/3 different cameras...sigh, why did I do that?

OK, I think that's all the pics I have on my phone...will try to post regularly.  Although, I've been super lazy to blog you can bet I won't be doing it on a daily basis.  Thanks for stopping by...hope to see and hear from all of you soon!

Day 7 - Everyday + Amy Tangerine T-shirt

Day 7 - Everyday:  This is pretty much my everyday.  I start off the day on the computer and chat with my girl Leslie and then I have lunch and do some house work or whatever needs to be taken care of.  Excuse the mess!

One of the classes I took from Amy Tangerine was how to create her famous tshirts...here are my two takes.  Please keep in mind, I sooo do not know how to sew!  Be kind (^_^)

Some LOs from Amy Tagerine Class

As promised, here are the LOs we did at Amy Tangerine's class.  So glad my friend Jenny asked me to go...it was worth it and this time the class was a lot smaller so chatting and crafting was way more easier. 

I think I need to add something more to the last LO, something's missing.  But for now, I'll keep it that way until I can think of what to add.  Love Amy's style and her product line!  If any of you get the chance to take her class I highly recommend it!

Its been a while...

...since I last blogged! Wowzer!  Lots happening around here I hadn't had time to blog or do much in the crafting world.  But I'm sort of back...we'll see.  I'll post more about what's been going on, including my fabulous trip to Europe a few weeks ago.  

Anyhow, here's a card I made for a dear friend Les for her 21st bday (^_~)

Used Sister Stamps, I'm not quite sure what her name is.  I'll find out her name and post it later for those that are interested in buying her.  Oooh wait, you can get her at Pineapple Cove here.  Her name is Mei Lei.  I also used Lawn Fawn's Lunar Lights.  If you read my last post, I had the pleasure of meeting Kelly, the owner of Lawn Fawn.  I believe Pineapple Cove sells these stamps also...here you go.  Happy shopping and crafting! Can't wait to see what everyone creates.  Check back later; I will be sharing my travel journal and LOs I made at another Amy Tangerine class I took this past weekend.

Amy Tangerine Class

This past weekend I took Amy Tangerine's class at our LSS.  I totally loved it.  I had taken a class of hers online and learned so much from her.  Anyhow here are some pics of the class. If you think her mini album looks familiar its because I did one here.

These are the projects we worked on.  Of course these are Amy's samples.

Amy and me. Amy is one talented and super sweet lady!

She taught us how to sew words...first off, I'm not much of a seamstress.  I probably sew better with the sewing machine than by hand.  Anyhow, we learned how to do these:

And we had a surprised guest...Kelly owner of Lawn Fawn!  She's super sweet and loved talking with her!
