What are you up to?
Enjoy your day!
Sorry if you were expecting to see an update of my knitting and crochet works in progress. It dawned on me that a weekly update may have been a bit to ambitions so I have decided to move to a bi-weekly update schedule. So enjoy this wonderful bloom that Sheldon got from the garden yesterday instead. Happy Hump Day!
A little something to brighten your day and to remind us that spring is on its way!

"Hello! Today I want to talk a little bit about my class for True Scrap II: The Spawn - Spray Inks De-Mist-ified. In the class I'll be showcasing tips, tricks and techniques that simple scrappers, like myself, can use to add an artsy touch to their pages. Of course anyone, simple scrapper or not, can use the techniques I'll be showcasing!"

Just to keep you on your toes here is a peek at what is currently on my scrap desk...
Will share once more once it is completed!
I am so happy...I have finally finished my living room..well at least for now. It only took me three years...lol!!! The final piece that was missing were two side tables for my lamps.
(Ignore the cat beds...I forgot to move them before taking the photo but then again I guess this is a true representation on my living room)
When we moved in we had this great idea to refinish two tables that we brought with us to match the new living room colors. We got all the supplies we needed and then everything just sat in my basement for the past three years.
Once I realized that was not going to happen I started to look for tables that would coordinate with the existing coffee table but that also turned out to be a frustrating exercise. Then my brilliant husband (he does have his moments oh and all the art work on the wall was done by him) said why don't you just buy a full set for the living room area and move the existing coffee table to the TV area. Now why didn't that occur to me.
So that's what I did and now my lamps have a home and my living room looks complete (although a sofa table may look really good behind the couch). I still need to add some more photos and I want to make something for the shelves that are on the side tables but all in all mission accomplished.
I love it when a plan comes together.
As I was puttering around in the sunroom yesterday I braved the overcast 62 degree weather and got these few shots from the back yard.
Or should I say not keeping up as seems to be the case for me. Really how did this happen...it is back to 1000+ unread and I thought I was doing so good LOL! Guess it may be soon time to mark all as read and try once again to go through a few every day before they multiply.
How do you keep up (if you do) with your Google Reader?
Scrapping is my passion as it allows me the freedom to express my creative side in many ways.
