BLANK JOURNAL BOOKS

I've been just a little busy lately. The store has taken up quite a bit of my free time, but I still found time to create some new blank journals. You can find them on my Etsy site: embellishmeagain.etsy.com. They're all very reasonable at $9.99 each. Complete descriptions are on Etsy. New books are on their way. Each one is one of a kind! Hope you stop by!






Thanks!

WORK BENEFITS

One of the benefits of working at Scrap~N~Crap is that I am able to do a little scrapping in between customers! I didn't do these in 1 day...several weeks.

HALLMARK...EAT YOUR HEART OUT!

The second Wednesday in the month can only mean one thing...Red Hots Night! This month was my turn to arrange the evening. I decided to make good use of the crop room at Tracy's store, Scrap~N~Crap.

November is a busy month for Red Hots with 3 birthdays...alas one birthday girl was MIA...Missed you, Sharon.

I planned an evening of holiday card making since the holiday season was upon us. Everyone had lots of great, original ideas. I'm glad they didn't just copy one of the examples, but were just inspired by them...just what I planned!

The final results! What a creative bunch we are.

Thanks, ladies, for a fun and successful evening!

EmbellishMeAgain Layout

The possibilities are endless! This is what I did with one of my several embellishment kits! The only added items were the card stock and pattern paper...oh, and the Ranger crackle paint on the #5!

Keep On Scrappin'

Went shopping at Scrap~N~Crap this morning. Now, I have some great materials to work with today. YAY!


But I did do some scrapping yesterday (yes, even though I was babysitting!)

This one is for OLW - the word is "gratitude". I may be late submitting it but every time I go to their website, right now, my computer freezes!

I wrote my journaling down the side: "Thanks to my parents I got my start with love, pride, understanding, morals, priorities and assistance...A great sart to pass along to my own family. Eternally"

This one is for the These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things challenge...your favorite season.

The words at the bottom are: "crisp, breezy, cool, pumpkins, color, Halloween, leaves"

TO DO LIST:

It just keeps getting longer

• Find a dress for a wedding Nov 7th (top priority)
• Put together an ad for Etsy
  
• Get recipes together for John
• Return something to Target
• Return something to Bed, Bath & Beyond
• Get Adam Luther's costume from a friend and find fabric to make the pants to go with it
• Scrap our Pacific Northwest trip
• Catch up on scrapping challenges
• Complete layout for Circle Journal #1
• Start an album for Circle Journal #2
• Come up with a theme for Circle Journal #2 (so many to choose from)
  
• Go to a movie
• Go bowling
• Finish personalizing the banks for the Temple
• Laundry
• Knit
• Finish book for book club on Wed
• Clean out my car
  

So much to do, so little time. I haven't scrapped an actual layout in weeks!!! I think I'm going through withdrawal. Maybe I need a self imposed crop...anyone want to crop with me??

ETSY UPDATES

I've been a busy little girl lately so I haven't posted much. Oops.


But, once again, I've added to my Etsy shop...

Traveling Along Embellishment Kit

Owl Journaling Spots with some little owls

Traveling Journaling Spots

Art Journal filled with heavyweight Watercolor Paper

And finally, I found these cute miniature cookie cutters so I added one to the "What's Cookin'?" Kit along with some older paper recipe cards.

I've also decided to begin a 6-8 week knitting class. I've finished up 3 sets of those slipper booties and am now attempting an "easy" sweater. That combined with babysitting 2 days a week, various doctor/dentist appointments & tests ( bone density this week) and I've not much time left for scrapping. I did, however, finish a little mini for Tracy & Kimber's store..."The Little Store that Could".

Now, I finally get to start on scrapping/journaling our trip to the Pacific North West. (Plus I'm trying to downsize the clutter...good luck with that!)

Thanks for stopping by...and please stop by my Etsy shop!

NEW STUFF

I think my knitting is coming along just fine. Actually, I'm pretty proud of myself. I found an easy beginners pattern for these booties. I had never knitted with really bulky yarn...it was tricky but I learned a lot. They are Sooooooooooooooooo soft!! Now I'm making another pair for my little 4 year old friend. I even let her pick out the yarn.


The next 3 layouts were made with papers that I bought from Tracy's new store, Scrap~N~Crap. They are all My Mind's Eye and Fancy Pants papers. The first 2 are from Halloweens past and the 3rd is of my sister and me from one of our cruises.
