Ready to be done

Oh, how I am ready for this move to be over with. And I'm not even done packing yet :( I just want to sit down and work in my art journals and yet, I am stuck going through stuff and packing it away. The pain of it all is, I'm only moving 4 streets over haha. But yet stuff still has to be packed and packed safely so as to not ruin any of my precious crafting materials. Notice how I mention nothing of the rest of the house, just my stuff haha. Although last night I went to roast some zucchini in the oven and didn't have a spice that was needed, why??, because I packed it lol Also packed the piece that goes in my rice cooker to steam veggies. UGH!!! The next couple of weeks can go by very quick so I am done and in the new (old) place and getting settled in.
Explanation on the new (old) place lol Before the kids and I moved to Louisiana we lived in the apt. that we are now moving back into :) This is the neighborhood I grew up in and in some ways it feels as if I am going home. So, yes I am ready to be done.
Still no camera :( Haven't had a chance to get out to Wallyworld to check them out. I am so lost without it. I know I have my cell but, it takes very poor quality pictures.
Ok I just need to vent a little and there is no one around here to vent too :) Back to sorting and packing I go.
Hope everyone is having a blessed day.

WOYWW **out of commission**

Due to breakage of my camera :*( I have no pictures to post. Am hoping to get to Walmart today and find at least a cheap one for now, I soooooooo miss my camera, I feel like I am missing out on so many picture opportunities. So, until I am able to get a camera, I will be out of commission for WOYWW :( But you can go to Julia our fearless leader's blog :) and take a snoop at everyone else's desks. Be prepared though, you will be there for a long while :)
I have gotten a few scrapbook pages done :) Decided it was high time I got back into doing them as I have pics just sitting in boxes and before the memories fade even more. Wish I could share them with you. I will when I can.
On another note, I will be packing up said crafting supplies to move in a few weeks. I do plan on packing one box with art journal supplies, that way I can have at least one outlet for my creativity. Other than that I am giving myself a few months to get things sorted and truly organized. I have so much stuff that I truly don't know everything anymore.
Hope everyone has a wonderful wednesday and a great rest of the week :)

Memorial Day weekend happenings

Taking it pretty easy this weekend. I completed the right side page yesterday. I like the background so much I did 2 other pages with the same technique. I inked the page then went over it with a baby wipe :) First time doing this and I am liking it :)

 Inside the circle reads "In a world that is NOT!!!"

 I used some paper that I had in my supply along with book pages and a magazine cut out on these 2 pages. Still undecided on how I want to proceed with this one.

 The other 2 pages I prepped today. I also made a tag for this page but it was still drying so I didn't take a picture of it.

 Today I have spent loving up on this happy, smiling, gorgeous, lovable baby :) I don't get to spend much time with her since they moved to their own place, so Memaw needed some time with her Popeye :) She makes me smile and laugh and I just can't get enough of those chunky little cheeks of hers. It is hard to believe that in 4 days she will be 5 months old. She is rolling all over the place now, has discovered her feet lol and tries to talk aka baby screeches :) Before I know it she will be all grown up and giving her moma all the trouble she can :)

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend :) I know I am :)

WOYWW

Welcome to another edition of WOYWW :) Make sure you head over to Our leader Julia's blog to have a nosey at everyone elses desks. But, make sure you have plenty of time on your hands cause you will be there for a while since the list has grown :)

 Not too much going on this week on my desk. Doing some prep work on some art journal pages. I paint and decorate then leave them till later (lately it is way later) to journal on. I don't have a distinct purpose for most of the pages I prep, I just do what my mind wants to do at the time :) I seem to use my scrapbook supplies for this more than I use it for scrapbooking.

** I finished the curtains in record time last week. And surprisingly (to me lol) they were even for the most part haha. The son is happy with them so that makes me happy **
Thank you for the comments last week on the little bunny box. As for the scrapbooking, well I have enough supplies sitting around to do many, many more albums. If only I had the inspiration to organize the pictures and actually sit and work on them.
Off, to start my day :) The sun is shining brightly here in Massachusetts and our high today is supposed to be 91, definetly loving it :)
Have a good day all and see you next week :)

WOYWW (a day late)

I did not forget to post yesterday, I just had no time. Dear son, picked me up early in the am and did not return me to my humble home till 6 pm last night. See, he just moved into a new apartment and needed to go shopping to buy home decor. So, he asked me to go with him. So much fun shopping at the thrift stores for vintagey looking goodies :)

 Here is the little box from last weeks post. I changed my mind about using the punched circles to make the bunnies, they wouldn't have looked right. I like this way better.

 A card I made on Tuesday. I was just playing around with some stash that I have :) I know the desk is really tidy except that pile on the right.

 A little nosey in the top of the built in. This is the bottom and first shelves. This is where I store my albums that have pages I have done. One of these days I will get back to scrapbooking and get them filled :)

 The first shelf holds items that I had listed in my Etsy shoppe (that is no longer open, due to circumstances). It also holds a few other things that well I just had not other idea where to put :)

The white box on the right is holding 8.5x11 scrapbook pages that are done. They used to be in binders, then I had a bright idea to convert them all to 12x12 and well, after the binders were given away, I decided to just leave them as is because I had no time to do it.
   Not much else going on around here. The next few days will be consumed with making curtains for the dear son :) and some major house cleaning.
   Don't forget to stop on over to Miss Julia's (you can get there by clicking on the link to the right). I'm sure there is an even longer list than last week, so it might take you a few days to have a looksie at all the desks :)

WOYWW

Woohoo I made it back again this week :) a wee bit late but still I am here. Not so clean desk this week. I printed out these journalling tags from Creativity Prompt. Avital is gracious enough to share journalling tags for your personal use only.

The second photo is a pillow that I need to finish sewing and my swap project for next month's stamp club meeting. I picked Easter out of the jar lol And in accordance with Virginia's challenge of altering the alterables we have haha I decided to use the little cardboard gifty box that I have had for so many years, I can't even remember lol

Above you can see a page from inside my Quotes notebook. I just write down the ones that I think I will use in my scrapbooking, art journalling or even cardmaking :)
Now I have been remiss in answering questions left in the comments :( So, here goes :)
From March 31 WOYWW
   Paula Gale-- I don't have to hide my stash from the "other half" as there isn't one. Just me and the kiddos at home.
   Paula Gale and Cher- my kiddos are not into artsy stuff like me, so I was not sure if daughter would like the art piece I made her or not.
   Brenda (Butlersabroad)- the room I took over is supposed to be the dining room. Although for the life of me I can't figure out why anyone would want carpet in here haha So I took it over for my crafts.
From May 5 WOYWW
  Liverpool Lou (Anne)- I received the star hanging thing from one of the very talented ladies in the Altered_stArt yahoo group I am in. :)
And also a big thank you for all the cudos on my art journal pages, I am still learning and it is just so much fun for me. Kinda lets me be a kid again to just go with the flow :)  Ya'll did have me wondering what a cotton reel was though :) Then I looked at the picture and realized it was my spools of thread :)
It will probably take me all week to get through the list of desks, I noticed it has grown considerably :)
Make sure you hop on over to Miss Julia's blog to check out the rest of the desks. I can't say it will take you just a little while, it will take you a LONG while but it is just so much fun.
Hope everyone has a wonderful rest of the week :)
Till next week :)

WOYWW (no longer MIA)

Not much going on this am. Yesterday I sat and was copying quotes into my quote book. Today I will be going through my "alterable" cabinet to see what I can find to work on and get out of the cabinet, I have enough to keep me busy for a while lol
After a break, due to oldest moving out, rearranging of bedrooms, and just life in general, getting in my way. I am back to posting :)
Hop on over to Julia's blog  to have a looksie at all the other desks. Might want to grab a drink and a snack, you will be there for a little while :)
Have a great day everyone :)
