Bundle of goodness



Oy
So lately I've had such a great/productive time in the studio. But how could you tell? Especially since I wasn't sharing. So sorry. Some of the LO's were bugging me. I put them up so I can feel them ya know? No? Seriously? Oh... never mind. Me either *blush*. Okay- so 2 of the LO's were bugging me. Like not finished bugging. Meaning I needed to change SOMETHING. Except the silly thing is, it doesn't come to me right away. Yeah, I'm crazy. I know that and now you do to :)



So I changed a couple of things. Added-unglued-cut and pasted stuff around and I likey now. Except I got lazy and didn't take pics of them. What is with that? I guess because I have it right in front of me and I'm enjoying it, I just forget to share.
Bad bad debee. All full size images can be seen here.



I stiched and then stitched some more, played with hole punches and dangit-tried not to UHU and sew myself onto my LO's in the process. It's CRAZY- then the last thing I WANTED to do was to take a good picture of it. PLUS, I work late at night cuz I love upsetting people around me when they sleep :) No. JK. I just work better that way- the latter really just happens and I choose not to care about it. Tough people. I've got PROJECTS TO FINISH OKAY?!?!
AMEN.

*yawn*

Lisa kicked my sorry rear into action in her last comment here about putting her mini challenge last on my To-Do list. She said I should scrap Mr. Handsome. Well my sweet Lisa, I sent a letter to Mr. Handsome advising him of this situation and here it is:

Mr. Handsome
Please STOP smiling like Chandler in Friends ALL THE TIME! The 4 GB memory card can hold up to 1,000 LARGE images of your beautiful non-Chandler smiles. BUT I REFUSE TO TAKE ANY OF YOUR CHEESY SMILES AND SCRAP THEM!!! This is really expensive paper ya with me? I don't wanna have to waste any of it on cheesyness. AND Mona Lisa (the camera) is really hurt both on a personal and creative level when you smile beautifully only when she isn't looking. She's not asking you to Vogue for pete's sakes! Oh. Juan. (nevermind)
:)
We look forward to seeing you in the future,
Debee
AKA- the love of your life and future personal scrapbooker paparazzi wife/queen and cash guzzler.


*word*

I have yet to receive any official response from Mr.Handsome...I'll keep ya up to date.



So I DID do Lisa's challenge. Oh YES! And I love it. OKAY- I did not use pictures of Mr. Handsome (please refer to above paragraph) but I did scrap the next best thing, being together with him. (the crowd awww's) Yes. It's true, I love spending time with him so I took pics of his toes (he's got the best looking toes EVER) I hate them cuz they make mine look like wrinkly cheetos :( But anyway, so I scrapped our new fav place in Coronado.

ATTENTION:
I do not pretend to know how to SEW. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO SEW!!!!! AMEN.
So with that being said, I take full responsibility for lack of perfection and I'm okay with that. You just try concentrating on the pretty pictures pretty please? :)

Aww rats- now I have nothing to blog about for the next month LOL :)

Oh yeah, I still need to do Sarah's happy canvas challenge!

Alright, enough sharing!
Have an awesome and happy day/week!

I'm a lazy bum




Finished 3 projects
Starting a 4th
Have no energy and time to take pictures of said projects
Yet I've had the last 2 days off of work, and what looks like blogging to :)
Whoops
No worries. I think I'll get to it sometime this week. I just need to charge the camera battery. darn. (off to find the charger)

On another slightly less lazy bummish note:
I've been enjoying the past couple of days playing with the new stuff I just purchased. I tried doing Wilna's 6 things Challenge and my project turned out to be USE-EVERYTHING-YA-GOT-GIRL!!! load em up :) So I did. I wonder if that still counts? LOL

-So I still need to tackle Wilna's 6 things Challenge
-Had me a hole punching party this morning so I'll get to Sarah Bowen's Canvas Happy project later (except with a twist)
-And Lisa's Mini challenge is last for some reason. I don't think I have enough pics or a genre since I have no kids. Hence no motive to finish this project. double darn. Hmmm... I'll think of someone to adopt LOL!

One project I did finish was Sassy Sasha's Wacky Wednesday challenge.
I did this one twice! Just because I didn't follow the rules the first time and so I had to do another. And yet I love them both.
Ah, rules are meant to be broken right? At least that's what they taught in art school. Love that.

And today, enjoyed some quiet time with Mr. Handsome around Coronado. Yummy Greek fetta pizza, gyro and Starbucks. Man, I'm just so so happy it's Saturday. We need more Saturdays yes?

Happy Day my friends!

Sometimes...



days go by super fast
and sometimes they take f o r e v e r
Why is that?

Or maybe it's because when I'm at work I'm thinking about creating in my scrap room? ;) Ah yes, thats why! LOL!
I totally enjoyed today anyway. I'm not complaining.

Things I want to create:

This WACKY Challenge

*Mini* Mini Albums by Lisa Garay

Getting Creative With The Hole Punch by Sarah Bowen

The 6 things Challenge by Wilna Furstenberg

Bottom three can be found here

Care to join me?
Create something today!!! YAY!!!! :)

(I'll be back to post my progress tomorrow)

A lovely day.



I love this pic- again, not perfect but really vintage looking and my goodness love the flower (magnolia?) eh- still pretty. :)

I had the day off today and spent it, well, cleaning :)
The smell of my fresh clean sheets is amazing. Yes, I have OCD. But it's very temperamental-or maybe just mental?
LOL. I slept in until 9AM then did 5 loads of laundry ( it's crazy trying to cram in time to wash when you have 5 other people taking up the machine-grrr :) No worries though, I just bought more clothes LOL!!! SAweeeet!

So aside from going crazy cleaning, I met up with Mr. Handsome for an Italian dinner date at one of my fav Italian restaurants "Volare". But said place is NEVER open! Seriously, we've made plans for months to return and we get there only to be greeted by: CLOSED. How lame?!

There are worse things in life I guess. The Lord must've sensed my despair in my tummy grumbling because it was open. And delicious. M-M-Ggggooooood. Molto Bene!

I had a really good day cleaning- felt good just knowing a squeaky clean, super fresh smelling room awaited be so I treated myself to some Target lovin'. Oh yes. Amen to that! Love the Making Memories stuff/KI/punches etc. WOW. Good stuff- I'm sure you'll be seeing some of this stuff soon in my LO's. What's your fav scrap item you're loving right now?

Recent LO inspired by the Wacky Wednesday challenge:



Love having an "assignment". I think I work better that way. If not, then I just don't have the right motivation to scrap or anything. It's weird, but thankfully, the challenges really help the mojo go :)

A lovely day to you my sweet friends!

cheerio! :)
