Today's Latte...

Thanks to Jeanne, who saw this sign and thought of me!

It seems like a lifetime ago....

But I really used to know how to sew... As a matter of fact, I made my Prom Dress and the cool black lace (Madonna inspired) gloves that I'm wearing in this photo! I won awards for sewing back in High School. I was so young, I was so thin, I was even quite shy.

So, why am I talking about sewing on my Scrapbook /Little Doggy Blog? Because tomorrow I am scheduled to take a sewing class so I can re-familiarize myself with this craft and better assist customers at Scrapbooks, Etc. (sometimes I have to leave my happy place...aka the paper room).

With some help from my wonderful friends (Theresa and Cynthia) I managed to cut out the pattern. Tomorrow, in class with a seasoned professional, Deanna B., I will attempt to make an apron.

Now time for a confession....I am scared that I will really, really like sewing and I absolutely CAN NOT take on another hobby! Wish me luck everyone...I'll let you know how it goes!!!

Computers...

I think we have all have a love-hate relationship with them! Yesterday I laid out most of the product that Jenny and I have collected for our April 24th "Shabby Masters" class and photographed this beautiful color palette to share. This morning I uploaded the photos and somehow managed to delete them. Problem is, I gave Jenny the die cuts. I know what you are thinking...and yes, I will do it all again. Just as soon as I finish my "hissy fit." Hee hee. Have a great day everyone!

How'd I lose a week?

I can't believe it's been a week since I've had a blog entry! Where did last week go? I worked at Scrapbooks, Etc. for a few days, had a amazing and wonderful class on Friday (thanks ladies), and then attended Scrapfest on Saturday. The first 7 days of November have flown by!

Meanwhile, I have scheduled my classes for the first four months of 2010 - started working on some Bazzill design team assignments for CHA, and created 5 new layouts for Heidi's group. Guess I just answered my own question. Have a great week and I will get back on the "blog ball."

Different drug problem...

This what we need...

for our home scrapbook spaces... one of those serious lights like they have at the dentist's office. You know... the kind that slides across the ceiling to shine light just where you need it with not using any of our precious table space. Someone get to work on creating a reasonably priced one of these for us. Yes, get right on that!

Mad Woman????

...or creative genius. J/K - I just don't know how I make such a mess! Do you realize that I own several paper cutters and several pairs of scissors just because I bury them while I'm working? Just finishing up my MMB Class Project for Febuary. Check out the project cover under the Scrapbooks, Etc. tab on my website. This project will be on display at the store on Friday. And remember, since this is "MY" project...don't expect it to really be a cookbook! Hee hee!

Start the car!!!

That's what I should have been yelling when I came out of Costco today. Would you believe that I found this cool basket wire rack for $9.97?! Even the clerk said, "Wow, $9.97" --- and that's what it rang up for. It was the very last one! My mini book baskets have been over flowing and I've downsized as much as possible (really, I have). This rack is great for holding my little books, while keeping them out of reach from bad little dogs. Love it!
