Don't Need a Title

It's late, I'm tired and not feeling overly chatty. I did enjoy browsing the blog sites and seeing all the hype about CHA.

Queen & Co.

At last! They go green! Some fun new releases and a giveaway, check out their blog by clicking on the picture(s)..

Marks Paper Co. First DT Call (USA only)

New paper company looking for some talent to show off their product. Here's a sample of their papers, apparently the papers are double sided and look like fabric:

I was tagged :)

There's this new "Photography" tag and Carla chose me as one of her victims, I mean, good buddies willing to do this tag with her ;)

Here are the rules:

1. Go to your Picture Folder on your computer or wherever you store your pictures.
2. Go to the 6th Folder, then pick the 6th picture in that folder.
3. Post that picture on your blog and the story that goes along with the picture.
4. Tag 6 other people that you know or don’t know to do the same thing and leave a comment on their blog or an e-mail letting them know you chose them.

So here is my picture:

Luckily it was nothing embarrassing ;) This is one of the many pictures I took of a plate of cookies I baked. I was in a recipe swap and needed a half decent picture of the cookies for the recipe card. It's a yummy chocolate chip-nut recipe, they never last long in my house. Unfortunately it's because I'll eat the darn things for breakfast (not good).

I never know who to tag because I hate to impose on people. And because breaking the rules is kinda fun (LOL)and it works to my advantage - I am only picking 3 people....

1. Dorrie - an awesome gal who I don't chat with nearly as often as I would like to.

2. Leah - I love her blog, love her work (gorgeous stuff) and we've got lots in common (even though she doesn't know it).

3. Nicole - She left a comment on my blog and so I checked out her blog which has some cool tutorials (gotta try out the handmade flower) and looks fun.

CPS "Pick Your favourite Sketch" week

It may sound cheesy but I like most of the sketches so I browsed through them until I found one that inspired me tonight. Seeing as how I am tired, I am a slow scrapper and it's late, I wanted something quick so I chose sketch 91. What I love is that I was able to use up my stash! That's what it is all about for me this year. Using up all that stuff I have been hoarding! So, here is my card using WRMK Tuscan Meadow (2005):

That's it (for now)!

Starting to look a lot like Christmas

Well, it's snowed like crazy last night. I shovelled once and the driveway needed it again in the morning. Both the kids are sick and have fevers. It's almost 10:00pm, I've got one layout done and I think I may start another...why not eh?

I am thankful that there are people in this world that help others. Those that give 110% until the job is done. And I am thankful that one of those people is my husband. He is a wonderful husband, father, and person. What more could a person ask for?

Back in Action!

Yeah, was pretty darn busy this past week (or two) but I'm back! I attended an online crop at Lil Scrappers but didn't get much accomplished. I was able to complete two layouts (only posted one) and one set of cards.

And today I got another Christmas card completed, inspired by Laura's sketch at 2S4Y! I flipped the sketch on it's side. Pictures not great, bad lighting in this office at night ;)
