Being Sick Sucks

UGH...I am recovering from a virus, which sucks majorly. It is bad enough when you just don't feel good. But to be sick is so much worse. Not only did I feel horrible, but I was too sick to go to work and therefore I was playing catch up today. I am still really tired and worn down. I don't have any extra energy to do anything. Good thing my mind still works since my body doesn't want to.

Baby Shower Invitations

I

Finished my first project today. Baby Shower Invitations for a friend.

The front: I bought baby block paper from Hobby Lobby. I cut out the blocks, glued them on the front. Added a ribbon and a stamp of baby feet to the front.
Each block is then outlined with puff paint. I used a light color around the blocks and outlined the letters or numbers in a darker color.

The inside is stamped and colored. I used a bunch of little baby stamps to make a border and a large stamp to make the party information portion of the invite.

It really was so much fun to do this. I am so excited to start working on my Christmas Cards. I also have some new projects that I am going to be working on. I am going to make a baby book for my friend as well.

My Workspace

Work space

I finally have a workspace. YEAH. It is set up in my bedroom. I have affectionately come to call my bedroom, "The craft space with a bed". LOL. I got the table from my son's daycare. My huband was gracious enough to hang the wire shelving that I have put stickers and paints on for now. It is great. I don't have to lug everything up and down the stairs all the time. Maybe I can be more productive now.

Why Blog?.....

So why blog???? I must thank the amazing friends I made at Scrap-A-Faire for the idea to even create my own blog. I have wanted a place to post my thoughts, ideas, and post my scrapbooking creations. Thank you all. I am so happy to have found that place. I am so sad that Scrap-A-Faire is almost over. IT has been a great experience and I have taken so much away from it just by meeting so many amazing people. I will be posting new pictures and creations as soon as possible. I have to take some pics of my scrapbooking pages so that I can post them.
