~Happy New Year! A few more reveals!~

Good morning all you lovely crafters and friends!

Happy New Year!
I have a couple of reveals today...

A few more from Scrapbooking From The Inside Out,
I like this one...The emotion this month is POSSIBILITY.
Just Imagine Journaling:
Just Imagine: How much more you could accomplish
every day if you did not worry about how fat you are.
If you could wake up every day and say
"I am beautiful, a good mom, and a nice person"
Imagine how much happier you would be.
How much it would change your life if you stopped
punishing yourself and repeating bad patterns.
Anything would be possible.

I will be honest here, I was real happy with the first few layouts I did...
then I got sort of stumped!
The last 2 I don't feel like I did the beautiful kit justice..
but you know what? Not every LO is a home run! LOL
So I am ok with it :)
This is a picture I took in Kentucky while on Vacation in June at the cabin.
This is Andrew in Hawaii
He hates his picture being taken!
Happy New Year again!
I am one of the lucky ones this year,
I have had some not so good stuff happen this year,
but by the same token I have had some GREAT stuff happen.
So I cannot complain, God has blessed me in the grand scheme of things.
I hope your 2010 is amazing and beautiful just like YOU!

~Thank you for sticking with me through 2009!~
~Have a great New Year's Day whatever was you spend it~
~May blessings and love fill your hearts all year long~
~Pinky~

~Merry Christmas to all and to all a good crafty night!~

I am posting my Christmas Day post a little bit early...
so I can spend the day with my sweet family.

Merry Christmas to my crafty friends!

I have a special link for you today, a link to a GIVEAWAY!
http://www.scrapbookingfromtheinsideout.blogspot.com/
You do NOT want to miss this one! It is a FULL
SFIO KIT! And I have this kit, it's my first one...
it ROCKS!Here are a couple snippets of what I have in store from the kit
in January! I do hope you join SFTIO and if not please look into the kits.
They are jam packed full and really make you think.
It will inspire you and make you want to use your creativity.

Ok and the other project I have is an Imaginisce Layout!
My last Christmas LO of the year...I think? LOLI love LOVE the Polar Expressions Line! It is so fun to play with,
if you think Imaginisce is ONLY themed paper, think again!
Their paper is double sided so any scrapper can make it work,
I am amazed at how much I love them.

Oh and is someone waiting for the STAMP RAK WINNER??
It was #2 so the winner is...

~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!

~A different kind of art for me!~

Good morning, I tried something new last night...a painting class!

To be fair I have never painted before in my life.
I am thinking about making paper lollipop flowers and placing them over the dots
I do not like LOL The dots are taunting me!! I was doing fine until I had to make
circles LOL Also I was thinking of putting some sort of CREATE wording
on it to hang in my craft room? We will see...I am happy with my first painting!~

Also I wanted to share a new site with you, well new to me!!
Let me tell you I fit perfectly there!
It is called
"Scrapbooking from the inside out"
Not only are their kits simply AMAZING,
but the entire concept is beautiful.
It is about scrapping all stages of life.
This month is "Generosity"
I hope you go check them out!!
When they say a kit community like no other, they mean it.
Everyone is kind, sweet and honest, there is not catty-ness.
My kind of people!
I just adore the place and check in every single day!I received a BLOG AWARD yesterday! Thanks Kelly~

~Witchy Wednesday Babay *Video & Rak*~

Morning to all, I am a day early in my reveal with these,

but I simply could not wait a second longer!
I wanted to show that you could make these
in fall colors and patterned paper,
and they would make a fun decoration too!
I think the word FALL would be fun as well
and even stringing them on some tulle as a banner!
I used the OCTOBER KIT from Treasured on these,
and Leslie is the best at coordinating the papers to
make any project fun. I have like 7 sheets of paper left
and so far I have made 2 cards,
3 Layouts,
and these 3 witch hats! I am sure I will get at least
3 more Layouts and 4 more cards.

So, am I a dork or what? I think I am obsessed with witch hats LOL
Off to my wet and witchy Wednesday.

Ohhh OHHH wait one second!
I have one more announcement!
PURPLE COWS contacted me yesterday...
guess what?
They are gearing up to host a HUGE contest!!!!!!
I hear the Prize will be HUGE!
and they are being so secretive that I am getting a packet in the mail about it!
I promise to share as soon as I know!
And to celebrate their BIG CONTEST,

I made this quick video...
you can tell I am tired because my mind was very jumbled this morning LOL


and am sharing this RAK
If you watch the video you will know why I am giving away some rub-ons
And it all ties into Purple Cows!
So if you are not a follower become one, and leave a comment.
If you are a follower, bless you I love ya! Leave me a comment.
You keep me making these silly videos and having fun with crafting!
When I began crafting I was with a group of ladies who never shared
how to or anything, they were so mean!
As a result, I LOVE to share projects and ideas! I mean why not
be crafty, creative AND help others to enjoy the same art?

OK off to make a sympathy card and finish a Purple Cows Dt Project!
Have a great day fellow crafters!
~Thank YOU for popping by~
