Has it been 2 years???? Really??

Wow I have been away for so long! Actually I forgot all about this blog. Then my "cuttle" friend Diedra, who has been my enabler, sent me the most wonderful goodies in the mail and wants to see what I have done with them. I was trying to figure out how to share my pictures with her, and then I remembered that I had started a blog, so here I am!!

I have started a whole new obsession... "SCRAP BOOKING!"
I met "D" through Split Coast Stampers "www.splitcoaststampers.com" , and we have been talking ever since. So here are some pictures of how I am TRYING to get my supplies organized:

This is the cubby that Mike & Uncle Jr made for me over Christmas break. I asked them to make 1 column a bit wider then the others, and it is working out great! I found the tutorial on the Split coast stampers forum, here is the link:
Foam Board Cabinet: http://www.paper-castle.com/2011/10/08/foam-board-cabinet-tutorial/





















This is another organizer thingy that Mike made for my inks. It is amazing what you can make out of foam board from the dollar tree!!! See the awesome card on the top? It is a "d" creation!!! LOL I found the tutorial here:

Next is the DVD stand that my wonderful MIL gave to me. She has been watching my addiction grow and decided to help me a bit:) Most of the stamps came from "D" My sizzix dies & empty cases are on the top.



















OK, so I have covered my organization part of all of this. I am going to help Madi make lunch then I will post more.

Bubbles the Chenille bear


This one took some doing. It is the first time I have tried to make something other then blankets with chenille. I had to sew him together with a needle and thread as the chenille was not strong enough and kept breaking.

My big witch and her cauldron!!

I so LOVE, LOVE, LOVE her!!
She sits 2 feet tall, and the frogs just add to her charm...
Maybe a few spells gone wrong???
HEHEHEHE


Hello Kitty Witch

I had a bit of a hard time with this particular pattern. I have no clue why, maybe just a bad day. I had to alter the pattern to get her to look right. But she did turn out pretty cute!

Lil Ghostie!!

This lil ghostie is WAY too cute!!
And a perfect addition to my collection!!
He sits on my shelf year around.


I made another one who sits on my funny witches hat!!



Draft dodger witch/hanging witch

I bought this pattern online.... it took awhile to get finished. I could not bear to use it as a draft dodger. The thought of it being on the floor, getting kicked about by a door made me shudder. So she hangs on my wall!! LOL




Fun witch hat!!

This hat turned out way bigger then I had anticipated....
It sat on my book case shelf for a few days until I figured out how to decorate it. In all honesty I had fun with it!!
