Enjoying my break

I am done with finals, with a two week break until the next and final semester!!
Doing everything but thinking.
I've been playing in my garden, cleaning a bit, tracing my roots and lots more. Not really. That's about it.

I get to start a new scrapbook for my daughter and baby on the way! I'm going to be a gramma!!! I told her I'm going to make a pregnancy book and then a baby book. And of course I will make my own copy :)
So, one day soon.. perhaps tomorrow, I can get that started. So excited!!! I haven't played in my craft room since school started I think.
I miss my hoards of paper and goodies down there. Aaaahh.. craft supplies..

Hello friends

I have missed my blogs so much, I decided I need to make time to post.
I am chugging along through school and have one and a half semesters left!
Sadly, my craft time is non-existant but finding my sanity will have to be a priority. Which means....

crafting time!!

This is a promise, to you and myself..
I will get going in my room and craft. anything. something.
At least once a week is my goal.

I will be back :)

hello?

Hi!
I'm here!!

kinda.
I'm a zombie. but here.

I hope to find some time soon to update my blogs, hopefully do creative things to share.. but for now

if there's anyone around..

Happy Halloween and Samhain for those who celebrate..

A little book I made for Etsy

A TWI-HARD BLOG HOP!

Greetings fellow Twi-hards! Tonight is the night! It is the release for Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2! I cannot believe that the last movie is finally being released. Will you be at a premier?
I went to a sneak peak screening last night! We looooved it! The best one yet.. and of course, it is the last. :(



My friend and fellow Twi-Hard Alison decided that since this was the last movie, we needed to do one last Twilight hop. One more hurrah before it was all over. So, she asked some of her fellow Twi-friends to hop along with her. Happily, there were 6 gals that wanted to joined. So there are 7 awesome stops in this Blog Hop. And we all made some fabulous, Twilight inspired projects! Here's what I came up with.

A coffin.. and a domino book..
"bella" and "jacob" lol
I don't care much for Edward **ducks to avoid flying objects**

like?
I know.. Kinda boring.. but when you only have half an hour... you make do lol
