Long time....

...no post. I have a wonderful excuse though...I have been cleaning, and organizing and purging EVERYTHING...closets, the garage, the spare bedroom. I am working on a "system" for all of our "hobby" stuff - my scrapbooking and his hunting. =) And I have made some SERIOUS progress. And I've been shopping for art + organization items to help us keep up the clean-ly state of things...and have found some grand bargains.

Sadly, nothing crafty.

However, I have a wonderful thought for today (and every day):
Every good and perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, in whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. James 1:17

Happy Weekend!

Feeling a little lonely...

...after such a wonderful, eventful time with these cute girls last Saturday. It seems so much less fun to just be doing yucky homework this weekend!

Have a happy weekend! Amber

Quick post...

...because I am busy, busy, busy - with shower food and bills and homework and classes and work. =)

Nothing crafty, because...did I mention I've been busy?....but I did want to share a little promo that Dillards was/is(?) doing...one free full-sized cosmetic item (there is a list to choose from: night creams and shower gels and mascara and more!) I got Vera Wang Princess Body Polish and it smells soooo pretty!




I think the promotion runs until January 25th or until supplies are gone...check it out!

If you have a World Market in your area, they are doing a big sale on tons of stuff...50% off.

Monday Favorites

Three favorite embellishments for a Monday:

1. 7 Gypsies 97% Complete Stickers - These come in tons of different themes...I think I have 12-15 of them...at about a dollar a sheet (50% off stickers at Hobby Lobby!!), they pack a pretty mean punch...I especially love using them to tie mini books together!

2. Little Yellow Bicycle Photo Mats - I just love the sweet die-cut edges on these photo-mats...that would be pretty hard to do yourself! It gives the focal picture just the right "edge"3. Amy Butler's Fabric Brads - these are my favorite today, because a) Seriously! They are Amy Butler! and b) I love brads and c) my mom bought them for me. Aw, thanks Mama

Taylor & Tori

...are coming over to play, play, play with Auntie Amber today! (Yay!)

Have a great weekend! Amber

Happy Days...

...and tired nights! Just one for today!!

Still Busy

School has already thrown me into busy mode...my new schedule alone requires a lot of "one-on-one" time between Dear E. School & me. =D


But I did make time to pop in and share a quick card for a baby shower I'm going to in a few days:

Supplies Used:
Patterned Paper, Butterfly: BasicGrey Prarie 6x6 pad
Lace Punch, Ribbon: Martha Stewart Crafts
