READY! SET! SCRAP!

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!

may I introduce the "Rock, Paper, Trimmer" by Fiskars. Not only is it pretty and pink, it also plays music. Yes, you heard that right. Just plug in any MP3 player or iPod and rest it on the dock at the top of the trimmer, and you can rock out to your favorite tunes through the two speakers on the left.

Re-Post Year Long Group Project!!

I am re-posting this because I KNOW there is more that one of you who will play with me!!!

52Q a year of mini art journaling

52 questions for the self to be answered through a mini art journal! this is the place to share your goods, chitty chat, and ooh and ahh over every one's creativity!

While I was Internet surfing last night I came across this Flicker group

http://www.flickr.com/groups/989942@N21/

I am so ready for another project, this is great! And ya'll it will be EASY. I PROMISE!

I got a box of the big tags (those yellow ones) from an office store. There are more than enough for the whole year.

Once a week I will post a question from this flicker group. (THIS IS NOT MY IDEA, and I will be using their questions)

All you have to do is decorate a tag for each question. SO easy.

I will be putting them together with a ring. But you could tie them, bind them, whatever.

SO to catch up with January you will have 4 tags to do. BUT hey we have the whole day to play!!! Then you will just be doing one tag a week. How simple!

Questions:
1. hopes for 2009
2. am i scared of change?
3. do i believe in fairies.
4. when i look into my eyes i see.....

If you go to the link you can see some examples of what others have done. You could always make your own tags, or use an altered book (ohhh I might change and do that). But once again I want to see your work every week! Maybe we will do some kinda prize or something?!

Play Time

Ok, it's not quite Tip Off time (oh wait, that's basketball) ANYWAY, I am posting directions NOW so I can play!




First Craft



FABRIC CUFF BRACELETS



I first saw these on Rebecca Sowers blog. I love her. I thought these were just way too wonderful not to make myself. I am "borrowing" this picture from her blog so PLEASE check her out.



Molly Chicken has a great tutorial for one style of these beautiful bracelets.


http://mollychicken.blogs.com/my_weblog/2006/03/bracelet_tutori.html



But you know me... I am just going to wing it. Now that I have these beautiful bracelets as inspiration. I will tell you I grabbed some Velcro for the closure. I also grabbed some hook and eyes. So I will see what works best. But just measure your wrist, cut fabric (does not even have to be hemmed- the fray look looks cool) embellish, add closure, and then MOST IMPORTANT DIRECTION send me a picture of your beautiful jewelry!









Go crazy!


Craft #2

Headbands



If you did not see me this past week, I cut off all my hair! So I am so excited to make some funky headbands to highlight my new STYLE!

Heather Bailey has posted the greatest directions for some SUPER EASY, SUPER CUTE headbands.

http://www.heatherbaileydesign.com/Headband.html

You can download and print the directions. So simple. She even includes a pattern! Then once again DON'T FORGET to send me pics.

SO if you are like me you are still in PJ's (woops-did not go to church-shhhh) and have your HEALTHY snacky food, and are ready for fun!!! And since I will be in the same room with husband and son, I am claiming it FAMILY TIME!

Play with me on Sunday

Ok, I know this may surprise some of you but I am not much of a Football Fan (I know, shocker).

So while Bill is watching the game on Sunday, I am going to PLAY!

I will post what we are making on Sunday morning but here are the supplies:

Fabric scraps (at least 1/8 yard)

4-5 " of 1/2" wide elastic

thread

We will also be making something else:

More scraps of fabric

sewing machine

buttons, trinkets, bits of felt, and other fun things

pieces of Velcro

Stiff fusible interfacing, 1/8 yd.

PROMISE you are going to want to play with me! OH, and it is all stuff you can do in the living room while you are pretending to pay attention to the game.

See ya tomorrow!!!

Basic Grey!

Ok, you know we all love Basic Grey. So I could not resist getting some of this SWEET collection.

http://www.basicgrey.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=96&page=2

Just like before, I will put it together in packs. I will probably only have enough for 4 packs, as I am getting a half order. I have no clue how much it will be but it should be around $25 maybe. Again, I will not be making a profit, just getting so I can have some YUMMY!

It will be here in time to pick up at NYOBC. First comments, first gets. Is that fair?

This stuff looks so pretty, yummy, just basic good.

OH NO!

Great Idea

Don't you hate it when you see an AWESOME product and wish you had thought of it? Even more with this product, I wish I had used these coloring books with my kids. I love the idea and theory behind it. Have already ordered some for my kids.
