Another Day

S0..so ready to be done purging and living with total chaos in my studio. For last couple of weeks been going through everything I own and trying to downsize to put it all in Caroline's Hoarders garage sale at The Crafty Scrapper this coming weekend! The community of Waxahatchie is also that weekend having a "Junk in the Trunk Sale" on the square. Sounds fun for someone to load up on stuff after she purged HA HA not! Picks to follow soon of the boxes! Thank goodness Jami helped bag and tag last two days! yeah for my Daughter the helper!

 

 Recently did my first swap that wasn't in person with a sweet gal named Loren, she recently moved from Texas to California. Well I won't hold against her for that....Just kidding! Usually do swaps with close group of friends or at an event I am attending!I'm spreading my wings! I did this box with a vintage flair! We were to decorate a box and share at least 15 items from our stash with at least 2 handmade by you! O and I had to do vintage things!

 

 Made her some denim flowers with The tattered flower die from Tim Holtz and then sprayed with some Tattered Angels and then attached em together with some blingy brads from Close to my Heart!

Also did some crinkled seam binding flowers and trim in green and while I was crinkling mad more trim for her! Also threw in some white from when I was making flowers for SB local scrap store!

I filled her box and  I think she was pleased with it!

 

Here is another journal page from when I started doing pages from Tracy's ustream show on Mondays , this is what I chose for my word for the year.....Have to hold close to my Faith in order to " Let Go and Let God"

Been a semi rough week and I have elephant ankles where I have been swelling ...NOT pretty folks

 

Be back soon with more hope you are having a great start to Wonderful weekend!

Get up and create something !

To tired to move!

Saturday was a far to cluttered for me and my neck. started the day having lunch with both of my sons. then we met up with jami Jason and the Gkids at the Brahmas ice Rink to watch the Gkids skate. This was for TJ Bday. TJ to the left and Tyler sitting with skates. Me trying to manuver the steps.

To the left is TJ, Tyler andToby after 3 hours of skating...Me with Toby and Jason and my Cappoccino that Casey got me cuz I wuz freezing! Tyler is a t bottom of this one also....

TJ got pretty comfy with skating and was doing small jumps and kept on top of things skating. They all did some falling but not as much as my comedy act Toby likes to put on for us.

toby and Tyler checking out the marks in middle where they had been teaching a young girl revolutions.

TJ just a trucking away and to the left Casey helping him with his skates, trying to get the right fit around the ankles.
Think they all got pretty bad blisters around their little ankles.

Then it was off to bowling at 3ish at Brunswick in Watauga. TJ showing the ball he chose.Matt and Casey go enough they have their own balls and shoes, and stuff. As we got there they changed it to Cosmic bowling and that really bugs Matt and me to be in all the light changes, gave me a bad headache.





Below was trying my lowlight feature in all of these and was suprised at how well they showed the colors and things going on.

TJ had a hard time bowling but they were all already tired from skating but overall we had fun I

think. This young lad, my youngest grandson is getting quite a personality and shows it alot these days. Wish the pics were a movie cuz couldn't get the faces he was making at me cuz he knew when I was taking them....

Here he is trying so hard to get a strike....he finally got one thru the hrs they played.

Thought the balls almost looked like Easter eggs they were so colorful under the Blacklights and lasers.

How about some Hulk Birthday cake don't forget your wish TJ. Man that was a lot of sugar after eating pretty healthy at Jason's Deli and all of us had the salad bar yummy! after everyone left Jeff needed to go and get him some things so we went shopping on top of it all, which ment more walking.

My baby g- son is 9 and that is beginning to make me old not sure that is a good feeling when you get worn out and over do with a neckbrace...did not do much and could hardly move when got out of bed this morning.

well gonna get off here and get a small nap before dinner time.

keep creating and have some great Family time!
