Episode 12 - Spinner Card

Hey Everyone!!

I'm sorry that this is being posted so late but I was having a LOT of trouble with my editing software!! Better late than never than, right?!?!?

I really hope you guys enjoy the video and try this card out!

Also, I've been thinking about possibly doing a "Q & A" Video so that you all can get to know me better...please leave me a comment on this post asking questions you'd like me to answer. If I get enough comments...I'll definitely get brave and sit behind the camera :)

NEW BLOG DESIGN

Its finally up!!!! I'm so sorry for the delay everyone! I know I promised the design and the spinner card tutorial yesterday and it was all going to happen until my husband decided, when he came home for lunch, that he DID indeed want a desk like mine from IKEA. So as a good wife(and because I need some more organizing stuff :)) I took the hour and a half drive up to Tampa, got all my stuff that I wanted/needed, headed to the warehouse and lift the table tops(lightweight) and the smaller expedit(90 stinkin pounds!) in the back of my jeep and made my way back home. Then we had dinner, assembled and by the time that was done we were both exhausted! So I do apologize for the delay.

But the new blog design is up!!! And I'm SOOOOO thrilled!!! What do you all think??

I really have to give a HUGE THANK YOU TO MY FRIEND CRISTI (scrappin5littlecupcakes.blogspot.com) She has been nothing but a blessing in this whole process! We started to become friends after she won my last giveaway and these last two weeks, we've either been texting or gmail messaging none stop!! I call her the "blogging genius"! LOL But in all seriousness...Thank You Cristi, you've been a great friend and tremendous help!

Lastly, spinner card will for sure be up tonight!!! Check back for it!! Thank you again y'all for your support and kind words!

PS....especially to Stephani, yes i'll be doing the Cake Decorating Mini Series! It will be up, hopefully by next week! Lots of editing needs to be done!

And the winner is....

Before I mention who the lucky person who has one "Once Upon a Princess" Cartridge AND the paper, I want to explain/apologize.

I (stupidly) forgot to mention not once but twice, on my post and in my video, that it is one comment per person. Due to the fact that I did not mention this, I have to count ever comment(besides the ones that I commented on) as 1 comment. So I really want to apologize to all of the followers who left only ONE comment---it isn't any one's fault but my own that I forgot this detail :( . I promise to be doing another giveaway in the near future....((maybe when I hit 400 subscribers)) and I'll be sure to mention that!

So......I also want to thank all of you ladies who left some amazing comments!! It was nice to receive some great words from some of close blogging friends (Momo, Cristi, Sarah!) and from all you new and old followers who left such amazing words! Words can convey SO much, you have really inspired me to keep on pushing through my creative halt to create more stuff for you all! Thank you soooo very much to my NEW followers! I'm glad that you like my creations and have decided to subscribe to my blog. Jesse (my hubby) was in shock when in the first night of the blog hop, I received 100 new subscribers! So THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!

OK now that I'm done accepting my Grammy (or at least that's what I'm making it sound like)! LOL

AND THE LUCKY WINNER IS..........................

Onto my Back to School projects!! i was really considering doing a calender but I felt it wasn't "Back to School" enough for me! LOL When I think of getting ready to go back to school....I think of going SCHOOL SUPPLY SHOPPING!!!!!!! Its probably one of my favorite things to shop for! Even during college, I would get so excited to get new binders, pencils, notebooks, pens!!! I would go with my sister a lot of the times too because she need way more, being as she is 8 years younger than me! This year I'll miss going for myself and for her. But I'm making her some stuff! When I think of back to school, I also think of my first day!!! So in honor of those 2, I've created 2 Cards for you all!!! Here is a short video explaining how I made them!

PS.....Check out a glimpse of the new blog design with my signature! Im So EXCITED!

Change, Change,.......and more Change?!?!?

So as if Changing the name of your blog, the look of it, participating in a blog hop isn't enough.....I've completely changed my craft corner!!! YES, after all the waiting to finally see it, I up and decided I wanted something totally different and changed my space!!! I know, I know...what was i thinking!?!?!?!? But I'm very much like my mother in the sense that I like to move my furniture around frequently to get it a little "UMPPPH"!! :) And since the rest of the house needs to stay in place to be functional and because of outlets....why not change my space??? So I did it!! My husband came home and said "Your not joking are you????" LOL So I'm still in the process of organizing and finding homes for things BUT I promise to post pictures soon or a short video.

Guess what Jesse, my hubby, surprised me with today?!?!?!?



I'm SOOO Excited!!!! I had mentioned to him earlier today that I wanted it and it was only $33.99 at Michael's. So he walked in empty handed and was telling me about his day, than walked into the other room and peeked his head back in. Said "oh I forgot to tell you" and when I looked over he had it in his hand!!! I'm so siked because Jesse hates going in there cause he has NO idea what anything is--as i mentioned before I don't think he even knows how to turn on my Cricut!!--and he normally doesn't go in there without me so I was SO HAPPY, oh and proud of him too! :)

Now all i need is the New Scrappy Mom's stamp set and I'm ready for HALLOWEEN!!

Be Sure to check back tomorrow for the Back to School Blog Hop!! It will be starting at Sarah at PinkCricut and be sure to visit every one's blog for great giveaways! Our blog is being sponsored by www.memorymiser.com and they are donating the Happy Hauntings cartridge!! I know Tangee from KricutKrazy will also be giving away a Cricut Cartridge, Sarah, our host, is giving away her newly released Pink by Design Stamp Set, check them out here.

Want to know what I'm giving away??????? A Cricut Cartridge!!!!!! Wanna know which one?!?!?!?! Check back tomorrow, Saturday, for my video to find out how to enter and which cartridge I'll be giving away! See you Tomorrow!!!
