Here come the ABC's

There's a song by They might be Giants "Here come the ABC's". I did two paper piecings this morning that are giant monograms, a B and C (beautiful and cute) and I was supposed to be working on a layout for the contest... :-S





Paint... Hmm... I need to put this idea I have about using paint for the contest page into a concrete layout. Not a layout ABOUT concrete, but... oh, you get the idea...





I DID get a layout done last weekend during my scrapnight! WOOHOO!

Here are links to my new paper piecings... Chaos is ensuing in the next room. Sunday night at 9pm is not the time to blog, apparently! LOL
B is for Beautiful -

C is for Cute (and CHERISH, too) -

I have got to get the Elsie challenges done, too. I have not been taking photos at all -- can you believe I neglected to take ANY on Valentine's Day? What in the heck is my problem?!? My camera is sitting right here on the desk.

Goal for the week: Take 10 scrappable photos. (Is scrappable a word?)

Have a great President's Day and I hope you have something to inspire you this week to take a photo!!

Pieces for the Weekend 2/9

Well, instead of cleaning my scrap room I found myself putting pieces together. Hmm. THAT is a problem my kids have too... When they're supposed to be cleaning up their toys they start PLAYING with them! ;-) Ah well, I'll work on it more tonight after I swear myself off of the computer and have a little dinner. Very little as I made very delicious cookies this afternoon in honor of Valentine's Day and they're too good to resist!!

Here are my pieces up for auction over the weekend. The "Wish" one I made tonight in the past 2 hours... (while I was cooking, too! Goodness me...)

Tomorrow... My big goal is to get at least one layout done. Three shapes... I see a heart, star, and circle in my future! :D

Have a great day!

What a Wednesday

Happy Wind's Day, Piglet. That was one of my favorite lines from the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. To see that loveable bear of very little brain wish Piglet a Happy Wind's Day as the breeze went from gently swaying to lifting pooh Piglet high up into the air... I've watch the video far too many times as a Scrap-At-Home-Mom!

As far as scrapping goes I have not done a lot in the past week. I have half-finished paper piecings sitting on my table with the mulberry paper all fluffy and sweet, just waiting to have the limbs of the bears attached and given tags and titles. My pieces from last week did not sell which leaves me feeling a little deflated. It's hard to get energized to make more when I'm not sure what to make. Hmm... time to get my brain that feels like Pooh Bear's.. full of fluff and stuff... past the doubts and onto the working it out.

Christi urged me to enter some contests today so I did that. Back to the Lottery's slogan... You can't win, if you don't play!
The contests: http://www.creatingpages.biz and http://www.amillionmemories.com

Anything to get me dedicated to scrapping!!

I'm sure everyone goes through stages in their lives where they feel their minds clouded. I am in one of those stages right now. If I just knew what I wanted to do or make or scrap or accomplish, I could do it! Instead I feel like a bear full of very little brain, my head is foggy. I need something to focus on. So, perhaps a contest that does not vote me out but encourages me to accomplish a task each week will get me out of this fogginess and back into a creative zone.

And maybe if I cleaned this scrapping room I might feel more like scrapping, too!! ;-)

This Saturday night I'm having friends over for our monthly scrap night. Wish me luck for getting some of my OWN scrapping done, too. And not worrying about cleaning feverishly in the days beforehand. Are they really going to be inspecting the baseboards??

Have a great week and happy scrapping! Here are my relisted auctions. The boy piece set is changed... I dressed it up...
