Test

Just testing for my mom. :)

7-8-9- 10:11:12

So like, wow! It's been a while eh? I know I said I would be better about this blogging thing but it's harder than I thought it would be. LOL I don't know how many times I have sat here and started to write and then never finish. I guess all I can do is try again!

So anyway, I'm sure those of you who are scrappers know who LizzyK is but if not, she was the winner of CK's scrapbooker of the year contest back in '08. (at least I think it was 2008) Ya so, she has this awesome blog that I love to read and she and her hub-de-dubs came up with a fun idea to have everyone take a picture of what they were doing at 7-8-9 @ 10:11:12. Ya know, since it's kind of a once in a lifetime thing.

Well I missed out taking my picture in the am but Liz said it could be in the pm no biggie. So I went ahead and did it. I got my coffee pot all set up and took my picture. (yes, I drink the full on caffeinated stuff that late at night. Don't judge.) I was all excited to be a part of something so fun only to look at the date/time stamp on my camera to find that it is WAY off!! It said 9:22 pm. Hello!?!? Not even close. I mean I can understand if it was set to Hawaii time or something but not even the minutes were right! What the...?!? Oh well! Guess folks will just have to take my word for it. :/

So with out further blathering...

Don't ya just love that coffee mug? Yup it's my fave!

Guess I should throw in some cute kiddo action. It's been so long since you've seen him you may not recognize him! lol

Big Shot fun!!

At the SU! Seattle regional conference they demo'd the coolest project using the Big Shot. I just knew that this would make a great kids class or even an adult class really! It's a way to make your own iron on patches using the SU! Beautiful Butterflies die. Well a friend of mine has a little girl who is having a birthday party this Saturday and my friend was trying to come up with something to do to entertain 4 little girls. So I suggested a craft day and we are going to try out this project and a few others.

So I decided to do a test run and it worked perfectly! I'm so happy with it!! The girls can pick the fabric and arrange the butterflies whatever way they want. I really hope they like it!
