I know … it’s been almost a week since I posted.
It’s been a little crazy – work, the weather (lots of snow), plus I had company this weekend – and of course it is Playoff Football Season (GO SEAHAWKS!!!).
One of the other reasons I’ve been away for several days is because I’ve been working on setting up another blog for myself. This other blog is a Fitness Blog. You can find it here if you’re interested. I’ve actually had it since August – but totally revamped it in the last week, and am actually now using it. I’m making an honest effort to exercise this year. So far, so good!
The response to my Blog Candy post has been GREAT! There are so many great ideas in there. Thanks for sharing everyone! And for those that haven’t entered – you have until Thursday evening! Good luck everyone! I’ll pick a winner tomorrow evening (drawing from a hat unless I can figure out Random.org) and will post the winner and the prize!
Here are some of my Crafting goals for 2008:
1 – Keep my area clean and organized.
2 – RAK at least once a month.
3 – Retake Stacy Julian’s Library of Memories class at BPS
4 – USE the stuff I have, don’t buy more (or at least as much!)
I’m sure there are others – but right now I just can’t think of them. I want to actually scrapbook more regularly as well, but for now, I don’t really know what that means for me. So for now I’m just going to make a concerted effort to scrapbook more.
In the spirit of getting organized this year (we’re almost to the card, don’t worry) Nancy over at Nancy’s Creative Mess had a great idea about orgranizing pictures that we post on our blogs. I can’t explain it well, but you can read about it here as it’s really simple, and I’m totally going to be borrowing her wonderful idea this year!!! Thanks Nancy!
Ok – the card … finally!
This is a card that I made at the Retreat in November. It’s really simple as you can see.
Recipe:
Papers: CMTH – Sweet Leaf, Blush, White
Inks: CMTH – Sweet Leaf, NE Ivy, Blush, Hollyhock
Stamps: CMTH – My Mom (retired)
Misc: CTMH – gold brads; Other – Silk flower torn apart
Glad I was able to help!!
Beautiful Card Tracy! I love the colors and how you layered the flowers -
That’s a really pretty card, Tracy. Perfect to use for a wedding! I am so stingy, though – I don’t know very many people that I like well enough to waste that many flowers and brads on! Crazy, huh?!!!! I’ve got to get over the selfishness already!
Oh my, that card is beautiful and elegant, and has such a warmth to it! Your crafting goals could so easily be mine (except I’d have to leave off the “don’t buy more” in #4, LOL!). I’m hoping to retake LOM, too … I was so excited to get the “alumni” invitation. Did you take it last January or the time before? Maybe I’ll “see” you in class!
