I made a snow man. Yes...you read that right! Me. well...ok me and Matts niece Emma.

there wasnt that much snow but we did what we could!

complete with dogfood buttons and pinecone hair!

MASKS!! LOVE 'EM!!!!!

not your typical "Halloween" or "masquerade" but the new ones by Tim Holtz!

If you don't know what I'm talking about..its like a clear piece of thin plastic with forever "sticky note" glue on one side! you put them down on paper and ink around the mask making kool designs! i made one big sheet and cut it into quarters.

I wanted to make a card...my new brother in law just got engaged!!!!!

i used then distress inks..started with peeled paint (green) then moved the mask and put on brushed corduroy (lt brown) then moved the mask again and used weathered wood (blue).

Each layer added more dimension...it was hard to stop! then i had a heart stamp that i used with fired brick (red) and accented it with distressed stickles (another FUN discovery!).

I didn't really like how it turned out so i just stamped the heart, added some more flourishes and sprayed with gold shimmer. I'm soooo glad I had time to play today!!!

turned another one into a birthday card for my mother in law...with some grungboard!!

Whoo HOOO!!!!!!

I have a Scrap room!!!!! ok I can finally see the floor!

that sounds more like it! when I moved, everything kind a got "put" in the room...then I tried to find this and that and make the invitations and some ATC's and whatever....I totally LOST the whole thing. So (in Michigan) fire arm deer season starts on November 15. being married to a hunter...he left friday afternoon. I had 5 glorious days to Play!!! yea me!!!! i decided that i needed a place to "play" so ..i looked for the table....then remembered that i had a stool in there ....somplace....I remember having a radio too....hummm...so i took everything out...spent 4 days putting it back together and purged a TON of stuff out! I really am good at organization, I just dont always follow my own rules! or remember to.......!

I am really embarrased to post the "BEFORE" pictures...maybe it will help remind me to keep it clean! a little public humilation goes a long way!!!

WOW! we did it again!!!

32 ladies and we raised over $1700.00 for our relay team!!

How awesome is that!!! Next year is gonna be even bigger and better!!

we may need to find a new place to hold our crops...seems were outgrowing this one!!

Thank you to everyone that stoped by and helped us!!!!

I guess my Grandma was right...
the older you get...the faster time goes.
Remember how long it seemed to take for school to start???or get out!!!!
Christmas always seemed like a BILLION days away!
Its the first week in November already! time for another "Crop for a Cure!"
between the wedding and moving, it feels like it I totally lost track of time!
Good thing I have the best partner!!! I have a lot contributed this year...just not so much time! (obviously!) I am expecting a great turn out, we already have more people signed up and paid than EVER! We've been averaging 20 -24 ladies , but rumor has it that we have "THE BEST" crops, and we are expecting 30 -33 tomorrow! I just hope we have enough room! I'm seriously not worried...we will find a way!! We always do! What an exciting day!
Still.....it seems like a BILLION hours away!
