I had to make a Thank You card for a retirement community resident that allowed me to interview them as a part of my Psych rotation this semester so I threw together this Thank You Tree card and thought I would share it with you :) The Recipe is below the photos. Enjoy!<br />

There have been a few issues that have kept us away for a good month. One of which is pictured below, the other two I'll explain here. Garrett's last report card and progress report showed a major plummet in his grades. We felt that Garrett needed to refocus and it was very important that I keep him on the straight and narrow.<br />
The other issue that I'm not sure many of you know is that I am in Nursing school. This is my last semester of my Junior year and we started back in late January. It's a tough road but school and Garrett have really required my complete attention this semester. <br />
We have still been crafting, just not posting pictures or tutorials on the blog. Not to worry, we will be back at the tutorials very soon and I have a brand new video camera that should make filming SO much easier! <br />
The last thing I want to share for tonight is the NEW craft room! While M's had that 60% off coupon going and their storage just so happened to NOT be on sale, me, the DH, and Garrett visited TWO different M's almost EVERY day to get all the cubes to turn my den into an awesome craft space! Now I have room for two other friends to join me! I am sooooo excited! I call it my sanctuary! LOL. The pics aren't great, i took some fast ones with the camera on my Iphone but I wanted to give everyone a peek! Enjoy! Picture heavy!<br />

We are sooo excited! This is our first ever award!<a href="http://ohhhsnapper.blogspot.com/"> Ohhh Snap</a> has sent us a Beautiful Blogger award and I am just stoked! So from what I gather, I need to list 7 thiings about myself and pass this award on to 15 other deserving peeps. Soooo............ let's see here.....<br />
1. I'm naturally a blond and just color my hair dark<br />
2. I'm in my last semester of my Junior year of Nursing school<br />
3. I have two other children besides Garrett, a 16 year old daughter and a 15 year old son<br />
4. My best friend is my younger sister<br />
6. I'm the slowest scrapbooker on the face of the planet because I'm nuts about detail.<br />
7. And finally............. we are trying to have another baby, just started this month, been planning for the last 7 months....... prayin' for a girl!<br />
<br />
Ok enough about me, since this award is also for Garrett let's post 7 things you may not know about him......<br />
<br />
1. His first name is Lance<br />
2. He's made some cards that are better than some I've made (he is going to make a video on these!!)<br />
3. He's addicted to XBOX 360 (UGH!)<br />
4. He loves his ball python Zahara<br />
5. He has ADD<br />
6. He's an great shot, took two deer in one day this past season and also competes in pistol shooting competitions<br />
7. And finally........... him and his big sister are best buds!<br />
<br />
Alrighty I think that does it. If there is different information that Garrett would like to share I'll let him make a separate post because right now he's at school and I was just too excited to NOT post this right now! Also, I will be posting up pictures along with an explanation of what has had us on a hiatus for a month! We haven't forgotten about the blog and we love all our followers!!! I think when you see it, you'll understand!<br />

So the DH took me to Michael's on Friday....... Now normally he's right on my heels, patiently watching as I carefully select the best deals, probably tallying up the total cost as I drop each carefully chosen item into my basket. I always cruise through the clearance section that is nestled in the very back corner of the store. Since I purchased my cricut in November we have been making these usually weekly trips to Michael's. There is always something on sale that I just have to have!<br />
Anywho.... since November, back in the clearance section, there has been this craft cart that I've just been dying for. The box was ripped and looked a bit beat up but that didn't bother me. The cart was marked down to $49.99 which being in nursing school and only having the DH's income, I just could bring myself to bat my eyes for. <br />
As I proceeded to find the 14 sponge's on a stick (As I like to call them) for a dollar, I realized that my DH was no longer behind me. Feeling that was odd but barely giving it a second thought, I carried on to the ribbon section to find some pretty spools on sale for a dollar each! It wasn't until I had returned to the scrapbooking section to find a regular priced item to use my coupon with that my DH found me.<br />
He asked me "You about ready?" to which I replied "Yep just looking for my one regular priced item". Then he proceeds to say "OK, I'm just waiting for them to bring your thing up to the front", to which I of course replied "What thing?". When the DH said "Your cart" I managed to choke out something to the effect of... "Oh you don't have to do that, it's still 50 dollars and I know we can't afford the extra expense right now". To which HE replied "HA! I'm not paying 50 bucks!".<br />
Puzzled, I questioned him and he told me how he talked to a sales lady, reminding her of how long the cart had been sitting in the clearance section, taking up space and gathering dust. He proceeded to offer her 20 bucks <gasp!> for the cart to which she replied that she would have to ask her manager. Well.... she did ask her manager and his reply was "Give it to him"!!!!!!!!!! </gasp!><br />
Now who would have thought to haggle with a manager of Michael's?! So I present to you, my hundred dollar cart that my DH purchased for TWENTY BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! WOOT WOOT!!!! It is now my Cricut Station!<br />

One was from Christmas with the Cricut in which we won Home Decor. The other cart, STAMPED, was from Provocraft. Both carts should arrive sometime this week but my sneaky 12 year old son decided he'd do the happy dance without me so I just HAD to post it! Enjoy!<br />

I had a video for this card but it just didn't come out well. This is an encouragement card that I made for my sister who is embarking on a new diet. As I am sure some of you know, diets are difficult and a great deal of support is needed to be successful! I hope everyone enjoys my little encouragement :)<br />

WOOT WOOT 21!Alrighty.... just for those that do not know, I am a 3rd year nursing student (at 34, YIKES!) and have quite a few very young girlfriends. I have spent the last three years with some very special gals and we have become quite close. Many of them will turn 21 this year (An age I don't think I miss!) so expect a lot of birthday cards, lol. My friend Leiren will celebrate her birthday on Sunday, January 10th and I made this card for her! I will list the items used below the pics. Enjoy and leave me comments!

Ok, so I had NO IDEA that I had been mentioned in the message board section of the CHIRP! I had posted the pate I had made my sister as a house warming/Christmas gift in the Cricut Crafts section of the message boards and hadn't checked on it in a while. Thanks to a PM from one of the lovely ladies that frequents said message boards, I checked to find that MANY ladies wanted instruction on how I made my plates! WOW what an honor! Seeing as I started a 1920's history class yesterday, I won't be able to make a picture or video step by step instruction on glass etching until this weekend but I will DEFINITELY get one posted! I am so tickled that everyone liked my plates! I can tell you that they drove me insane. ESPECIALLY my sisters plate because I DID NOT use transfer tape like a total GOOBER and I will not try that ever again! So, I will do some sort of instruction and get it posted by the weekend! In the mean time, I will dazzle you with a birthday card that I am getting ready to post. I <3 comments and followers so follow and uhhh... comment! lolEAS Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06573437018273448764noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-248676193050139552.post-64875941267733431022010-01-02T01:52:00.000-05:002010-01-02T01:52:07.581-05:00The Hobby Lobby Experience!So we don't have a Hobby Lobby anywhere near where I live. There is a Michael's right down the street, the almighty Archiver's which I LOVE LOVE LOVE about 20 minutes away, as is AC Moore, but NO Hobby Lobby. So while we were visiting our friends in Hickory, NC I insisted we stop in. I knew they were having some sales on ribbon and embellishments, stamps, etc... I must say I was VERY impressed at how neat, tidy, and CLEAN the store was. I believe the only item that HL had less of than M's or ACM was clear stamps. I could have spent an hour in the ribbon alone. The staff was very friendly, polite and willing to stop whatever they were doing to help you, even if it meant walking all the way across the store to TAKE you to what you were looking for. I didn't have enough time to comb the store in detail unfortunately but I did pick up two spools of AWESOME ribbon for a buck each and three different packs of brads for 1.50 and 2.00. I took a lot of pics so you could see detail. Enjoy!<br />

I am so sorry this post is sooooo very late! The family and I spent the New Year with some friends that live 3 hours away and for some reason, I COULD NOT get an internet connection there! I could barely get enough service to post an occasional tweet! So upsetting! So again, I must apologize for how late this post is. I have one complaint about this trip to Michael's let me just get it out of the way first so I can enjoy the rest of my post. Can I just say...... NOTHING was marked individually as being on sale. For example.... I had a 50% off coupon for one full priced item and as usual, you can't use it on Gypsy, Cricut, Yudu, etc.... Well my husband passed this really awesome shelf/ribbon holder that was 20 bucks and decided he'd like to get it for me. SWEET! So I dig out that coupon and hand it to him. I just happened to have another one so I had my son purchase the bottle o' flowers with that one and then I used the additional 25% off the ribbon coupon. So we all line up at the register, I had my son some cash as my husband is informed by the VERY pleasant employee dude (Yes it was a guy and he was awesome!) that he cannot use the coupon because the item is already 50% off. Well sweet but........ why was this not posted?! I mean HELLO! I also noticed that they had quite a few holiday packs of DCWV, K and Co, Me & My Big Ideas, etc... out in a middle isle but listed as 19.99? I know dang good and well those were on sale! So... I was peeved about that. On to the good stuff!<br />
<br />
So I took pictures of the few items I scooped up at M's and Walmart together. I didn't embark on a major shopping spree or anything, sadly! Anywho, between both stores, coupons, and sales, I think we spent a grand total of maybe 35 bucks? Heck, it may not have been that much. I am so excited that I was able to pick up some ribbon and buttons for my sons football scrapbook page, which I also will have a VERY special announcement about coming up in the next few days. Can't make it just yet but it's great, I promise!<br />
I also have NOT forgotten about the happy dance I promised! I am hoping to get that recorded tomorrow (This means I have to put on makeup, oh Joy!) and uploaded (Never tried this before) to the blog shortly after. Oh! I almost forgot! I DID get to go to Hobby Lobby for the first time EVER while visiting our friends! I got some goodies there too! GREAT embellishments and ribbon, ALL 50% off and spent a grand total of 7 bucks and some change. WOOT WOOT! I will post those tomorrow.... MAYBE tonight if I stay up much longer! I just LOVE crafty STUFF. I'd rather go use a coupon EVERY day and only get one thing and spend 5 bucks or less, than only get to go on one decent spree every couple of months! Ok, enjoy the pics, leave me some comments, and I will see you soon scrappers!<br />

I won another cart today at the Provocraft Twitter weekly giveaway! I do believe I will have to make my first video post a little later of my happy dance because winning a cart today from Provocraft and a cart right before Christmas from the gals over at Christmas with the Cricut is just AMAZING!

I have debated posting this for a week as it is truly unfinished. I would like to add a goal post, maybe a GO 22! or a TOUCHDOWN here or there. I'd REALLY love to add a football player from a Paper Dolls cart but alas.... I do not have a Paper Dolls cart yet :( . Maybe some wonderful scrappin' lady out there would like to send me one?! A football paper doll, not the cart, lol. How awesome would THAT be! I may just have to post that on the cricut message board! So enjoy, suggest and umm.... contribute! LOL. Oh and I almost forgot! I am hoping to drop by the local Michael's today and pick up some red, black, and white buttons AND some black ribbon to add.<br />

Just in time!Ok.... so I finished up the glass plates I made for my family! JUST in time for the Christmas gathering and I believe they were a hit. My husband got me a lamp and a bookcase for my craft room, BOTH were DESPERATELY needed! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I'm ready to get back to work on my scrap book page that I had to set aside while I worked on Christmas projects. After my scrapbook page is finished I'll begin working on V-Day cards and then I believe I'll be tackling scrap book layouts for our zoo trip! See you soon, enjoy the photos of the plates and leave me comments!!!<br />

I WON I WON I WON!OK OK! So I never EVER win ANYTHING! I, along with everyone else in the craft world, attended the LIVE broadcast from Christmas with the Cricut ladies Joy, Melanie and Tammy. The giveaways were UNREAL and I won a cart! I am SO excited! It was an hour full of laughs, live demos, giveaways and brief moments of insanity! What a GREAT hour! Megan from Aboverubiesstudio.com called in and contributed FIVE more of her cricut A to Z videos to give away! How awesome is that?! OK, I have MUCH to do and night time is my prime crafting time so leave me comments until next time!<br />

My practice piece was simply my last name "Swingle" on an old glass baking dish. I was surprised at how easy glass etching was! Rather than using Vinyl, which can be quite expensive, I worked with contact paper that I purchased at Walmart for around $5.50 for I wanna say, a 50 yard roll. <a href="http://www.obsessedwithscrapbooking.com/">Happyhappyjoyjoy</a> has a GREAT video tutorial on glass etching. I don't believe my sister frequents my blog just yet so I think it's safe to post pictures of her Christmas plate here! They just bought their first home and moved in a few months ago so this plate is for that occasion. Enjoy!<br />
