Try Something New! Stamp On Logs!

Good morning and happy Sunday friends, 

It's the 15th and you know what that means?! My turn to 

showcase on Avocado Arts! I have 3 very unique projects on the blog today.

And a story here to tell. 

So on Black Friday I was at Michaels and decided to grab these Alder

wood chunks- they were 50% off 1.99 for 4 I think. Anyways I knew 

what  wanted to do, I wanted to stamp on them I just wasn't sure how yet.

I picked these little detail stamps from the newest stamp set-

WINTER FUN

I tried a few inks and after a few fails I finally settled on Clearsnap

Colorbox Copper Ink which worked like a charm. 

I stamped and stamped with the new Winter Fun set. 
I also inked the edges of the wood in blue and glittered around for
a snowy effect. 

And after all that work and fun- stamping and drilling holes and adding ribbon…
I put them on the table and walked in the bathroom…
came back out to find my DOG and jumped on the table and chewed them
to bits in a matter of 3 minutes!!!!

Ah- C'est la vie is all I have to say about that! LOL
Head over and check out my projects please

Let them know I am doing my job! LOL
Leave some loving people~ :)

~So Bright I Gotta Wear Shades~

Good morning and happy Thursday my friends,

what a rough day yesterday was- sick kid and all that, today is FIELD TRIP day!

But before I headed out I thought I would share the fabulous 

Avocado Arts NEW stamp set with ya...just for sh*ts and g*iggles, well

and because I love it like a tick loves a fat dog! :) 

 How amazing is this new set? LOVES!

It is to die for! :) 

I just had to use light bright papers from Echo Park.

And I used Colorbox SILVER ink for the shades...

I mean seriously was there even a choice??

I can't wait to send this to a friend!

Ok wish me luck at the zoo with screaming 3rd graders! LOL 

Happy Thursday y'all!

~Scooter's Vacation?! How fun!~

It's a late night post for me, I am gearing up
for tomorrow and the REVEAL for Scrapbooking From The Inside Out!
I have some cool pages to share from that kit...
in the mean time, I have had SO MUCH FUN
playing with the new Imaginisce kit...
SCOOTER'S VACATION!

Now I will be the first to admit I had to reroute my thinking
when it comes to the more themed paper, but
I am so happy I have! I love the fun cute pages I have been creating.
I always have fun pictures I love but they have no particular
emotional heavy meaning, just fun family travel pictures
So this was a great way to scrap the fun stuff!

Everything here except for the Thickers/Jenni Bowlin Title
is the Scooter's Vacation line form Imaginisce! LOVE IT!

I took this picture last fall in TN on the back roads
in Nashville. I love the fall here and taking those back roads
always leave me nostalgic for country drives hubby used to take
me on while I was 9 months pregnant. :)

More news...
I have decided to begin a new challenge blog...
there will be more news to come on this one! :)
I hope you stay tuned!

~Have a great last day of 2009~
~I appreciate every last one of you~
~Pinky~

~How excited am I?!! It is a new day and a fresh start!~

Hey all you beautiful bloggers/crafters!
Pinky is IN DA' HOUSE! hehe

I am offically MOVED and having a ball unpacking...

ok ok not really a ball per say LOL but I am muddling through ok.
We have an amazing Thanksgiving with a total of 13 people here.
Everyone was gracious and kind about the food, and it was so relaxed and fun!
Here are me and my girlyfriends on the front porch before they all
left with their children. It was a great day!I never realized just how much my life would change for the better
moving away from Oregon. The peace and relaxation of the holidays
is 100% worth it. I know it has been a rough move and a trying 2.5 years
but the reward is finally showing.
No worries about running into anyone who might hurt me,
no worries about the stress of drama and pain or facing my past
every single year, just me and those whom I love.

OK on to fun Scrappy news!

Good morning bloggers!

I was able to sit down last night and begin working on
the boys costumes...they were so sweet this year.
I told them we were moving and I was not going to be able to make the elaborate
costumes I usually make for the entire family, so they
sat together and voted on being puppies this year!
Easy enough right? Some fleece, some sweat pants and a beanie!
Warm, easy and functional!Plus my sweet boys are tickled about the hats!

I also wanted to scrap yesterday but not for anyone but myself,
so I sat down with My Little Shoebox and Cosmo Cricket...
dear friends of mine LOL
and made this page....
I wish it had been sunny and not pouring rain so I could have captured a better
shot of it! It's so much prettier in person!

And one more little thing!!!!!
OK OK BIG THING!

WE HIT 200 FOLLOWERS! SENT BY PINKY!!!!!!
