Yesterday I also got another craft keeper for my brads. Not too long ago Peachycheap.com had a great deal on brads. It was like over a 1000 different brads for $14.99 so I bought cause I love brads, just never seem to use them much in projects. Anyway I now have 4 of these little cases full of brads and another couple of packages that I am going to have to get one more for. I love these cases for brads because you can open 1 compartment at a time so none of the other spill if you happen to drop it. They can be found in the bead department of Michael's.
Happy Sunday!!
Shhhhh......Hear that?
The weather here today was not very nice for it being almost the first of June. Cold and overcast for most of the day. Which was perfect for movie watching this morning. I rented the movie "The Women", the 1930's version. It was pretty funny and the new modern version follows it exactly. I loved all the clothes in the 1930's version. And it was amazing to see how much they all smoked and drank back then in the movies. Check it out if you liked the modern versions cause it's fun to watch the original.
This afternoon I did go out and help the economy a little bit. Found the cutest picture collage frame for the hallway when I get it all painted and re-done. I would post a picture but my batteries died in my camera and I can't find the charger for them. Will try to post a picture later. The good news is it was on sale for 50% off, which made it only $35. Can't wait to fill it with pictures and get it on the wall.
In other news, poor Belle had to have emergency surgery last night. I happy to report that she came through just fine and is now on the road to recovery. She might be able to go home tomorrow, which I know will make my daughter extremely happy. They figured out that she had swallowed a small piece of sewing thread and it got caught in her tummy and caused a bad infection. Who would have thought.....
Well I am off to get some scrapping in before the night is over. I am working on a 4th of July centerpiece. I will post pictures when I am done.

Happy Birthday Priss!
I also have a niece that has a Birthday this month, she is turning 26. Here is the Birthday card that I made her. I love the background paper that I used. I bought it a while ago at Michael's and I am not sure the name of the company. The "make a wish" stamp that I used is one that I bought for a $1 at Michael's. I am hoping that she liked it.
Just as an update, I did get my craft closet cleaned out and I finished that Christmas album this past weekend also. It always feels so nice to get things done that have been hanging around for a while.

25 Days of Dec. - 5 months later
Just a simple card
Labels: card, cricut, wild cardReally looking forward to the 3 day weekend coming up. I plan on spending alot of time in the scrap room. I have a girlfriend coming over on Saturday for a day of scrapbooking and fun. I would really like to get our Disneyland album done. I am also planning on purging my scrap room alittle this weekend. My closet is starting to look a little stuffed so I need to go through stuff in there and decide what to keep and what I can get rid of. Hopefully I can get things cleaned up and more organized. I'll let you know how it goes.

Bargin Bin Finds
Pretty much everything I used came out of my scrapbook stash except for the ribbon. I did have to make a Michael's run for some ribbon but that was about it. I love how it all came together and how girly it was (Kendall is very girly). The finishing touch was all of the ribbon on the wire hanger.
I was very excited to give it to her and was so happy that she loved it!!! It's now hanging on the door to her new scrapbook room. (Which by the way is coming out extremely cute!!!)
Can't wait to make a few other signs with my bargin bin finds.

1 Your Thoughts? Posted by Hi I am Christy at 2:10 PMUpdate & Mother's Day
The Mister and I both took a couple days off and made it a long weekend. It was heaven, especially after being sick. We took the RV and dogs and headed out to the Russian River with some friends for 4 days. The weather was beatiful and the dogs spent alot of time in the water. I think we finally wore them out by Sunday afternoon. They layed around camp in the sunshine napping while we all played cards. I didn't realize how much sun there was and came home with a very burnt nose and forehead.....ouch!!!
Anyway, since we weren't home on Sunday, we did a belated Mother's Day dinner with the girls on Tuesday night. We had a great BBQ dinner of London Broil, mashed potatoes with gravey and ceasar salad. Yummy!
We also had a great cake for dessert. After that it was gift time. My girls got me this....
Yipppee! I've been wanting a deep fryer for a while but just hadn't gotten around to getting one. I've wanted one to be able to make apple fritters, donuts and onion rings.
So all in all it was a great Mother's Day and I have 2 wonderful daughters to prove it.
