and the embarrassment continues… and a prize

and the embarrassment continues… and a prize

So, while I have definitely made strides in cleaning out my room – I can actually open the door and walk into the room!  – I am still embarrassed when I realize how bad it actually had gotten in there.

I have done a lot of work and have found a lot of supplies.  It is slightly terrifying when I realize that in this aspect of my life I might be a bit of a hoarder!  Boy do I love patterned papers!

So while this is still definitely embarrassing, it is getting better, slowly but surely. 

This weekend I plan on spending a good chunk of time continuing to work on cleaning, arranging, purging, and just making the room usable again.  Fingers crossed!

Now, since I am cleaning out, I feel it is only appropriate to share some of the goodness I have found with you!

So – in order to continue to celebrate the 45th Anniversary of the Orange Handled Scissors by Fiskars, I feel it only appropriate to give away a pair of those… and, I also have some great paper that I received from Fancy Pants - Love Birds - that is perfect for any Valentine goodness you might be working on!

Leave a comment here between now and Monday and I will draw a winner!

Happy Crafting!

spark the event #3 – and a giveaway…

spark the event #3 – and a giveaway…

I have to start this post with this disclaimer – I hate it when people blog about fabulous events that they got to go to and that I missed.  It makes me insane.  It truly does.  I hate seeing all of their beautiful creations that I missed out on and all of the bonding and fun that they had with their crafty friends.  I have to be honest because it is true.  So now I am going to do to you what I hate the most and tell you all about the amazing crafty adventure I have been on this weekend.

I was blessed to able to again attend Spark for the third year in a row.  It is my refresh, restart, and reenergizing that I need creatively.  It feeds and inspires me and helps me to be a better creative.  It also helps me to be a better me.  Sometimes we neglect to take care of ourselves busy working and taking care of others.  This was my respite.

Now, I will share some photos throughout the week about all of the adventures I had, but I can say that I learned a lot about a lot of things – felting (not good at it), She Art (LOVE!), stamp making (jury is still out), and so much more. 

Now, while you couldn’t be there for it, I will send you the links to all of the teachers so that you can check them out and maybe take a class from them if something inspires or speaks to you.

And, since I got to go and you were at home, I feel like the least I can do is send you a bit of Spark-y goodness…

PaperCoterie was awesome and provided us with these amazing journals and keepsake boxes.  So, leave a comment about what you did that was creative or inspiring this weekend and I will draw a winner on Tuesday for some Sparky goodness!
