WOW - It’s been awhile!
Published by Tracy on June 7, 2008Well, I’ve been practicing this for awhile now (click on the picture for more info):

My friend Melissa posted about this a few entries ago on her Blog. It really struck a cord. I hate the feeling of HAVING to post. And lately, I just haven’t felt the Mojo.
I had a stamp party last weekend though so had to come up with something! These are the 2 cards I came up with:

The “Thanks” card is a complete and total CASE of Kelly Jo’s card here. I love it so much and just had to copy it.
The “Happy Everything” card is using the new Sarsparilla papers from CTMH, the Bitty Brads, Cocoa ribbon, and the June SOTM. I also used my new Oval Nestabilities! The sketch came from Michelle at Mish Mash.
While I’m in a sharing mood, I’ll show my new ribbon rack in all it’s glory that my Dad built me. I’ve had it for awhile, just never go around to taking a picture of it. It’s pretty much full already. Go figure!

Now, on to something a lot less craft related. It’s going to be a bit Political, so if you aren’t into that, please feel free to stop reading now. I just want to say that I’m completely happy that the Primary Season is finally over. Now hopefully we can get on with this election and elect a new President who can change the direction that our country is heading. I have to say, pulling into the gas station and seeing $4.10 a gallon for gas, $4.20 for a gallon of milk, not to mention the price of rice and other groceries these days is more than a little disheartening.
That all being said, this is who I choose to support:

I would encourage EVERY person who is eligible to vote this year, to be informed on the candidates, and make a choice this Fall. Most importantly, VOTE - it doesn’t matter who you vote for, just VOTE. It’s the only way our voices can be heard. I know there are people out there who don’t think that their votes matter - but that’s simply not true. Living in a state where the last Governor race came down to 133 votes out of 2.8 million+ cast - I guarantee you - every vote counts!
For anyone who wants a free Obama sticker (like the picture I posted above), Move On is giving away free ones here.
Ok, enough on that - that’s about the most Political I’ll get, promise!
I’ll also try to be better about posting a couple of times a week. I’m getting in gear to get some major scrapbooking done. I had a bunch of pictures printed at Costco last night in preparation of a Scrapbook Retreat I’m going to in less than 2 weeks! And the weekend of the 28th I’ll be going to a crop on Friday night till the wee hours of the night/morning. I’m really looking forward to both events and getting some mojo back!
Take care and have a great weekend everyone!









Welcome back Tracy! I’ve missed you and I don’t mind your political part of your post. I’m not sure who to vote for yet but I’m definitely with you on the gas and grocery increases. I have to put gas in my car today and I am not looking forward to it! Have fun at your crops — wish I was joining you! I haven’t been to a great crop for quite a while!
WOW - Talk about a post hitting me between the eyes. I clicked on the BWO logo and found some kindred spirits. And then I kept reading your post - can I get adopted by your dad? Nice ribbon rack! Thanks for sharing - everything! ~chris
That ribbon rack rocks!! Yeah, I think your dad needs to adopt me, too. Heck, we already call each other Sis.
As for the politics, you know where I stand. YES WE CAN!!!
guess what?!! stephenie meyer is going to be in seattle on aug. 20th!!!!!! tickets are $20 i think that calls for a little trip!!
Tracy, Love the ribbon rack… how do you get all your ribbon looking so pretty and not hanging all over the place… LOL Tips on that would be great!
Politics doesn’t bother me… we all vote in the end for whomever suits our lifestyle. I too am an Obama fan though… McCain just gives me the creeps! Not sure why though… You know you see someone and off hand you dont like them… its like that… and I havent liked his comments on some things so far…
On a Scrappier note: Love your blog and work… Keep it up and don’t ever feel you have to blog at any pace but your own!! Thats what these blogs are all about…
Have a great weekend everyone!
Tracy
