My First Blog CANDY!!!!
so:)
i cleaned out my expedit and i have a surplus of STUFF!
no scrap caca:) there will be mini-albums, pattern paper and other misc. goodies for YOU:)
guaranteed you will LOVE it!
just leave a comment on this post and i will post the winner on friday:)
Page 69! what a milestone:)
page 69 of my 100 page challenge. WOW.it is hard to believe that i have actually scrapped this amount of pages without buying ANYTHING except adhesive. This page was made with a bunch of scraps punched into circles.
very minimal. just like the art in the pictures:) You will see a LOT of this paper in the next few days:)
The extent of my paper stash....
in the pursuit of simplicity, i have been condensing, condensing.
my goal is to be able to store ALL my scrapping/stamps/crafts stuff into one(maybe two) expedit bookcases.
since i have been scrapping my stash i have been able to get the pattern paper down to an almost manageable size.
a little peek at my paper storage, as it stands right now:)
a little stack of paper trays. hope to be able to fit these into the expedit and stores ALL my paper someday. for now my SU pattern paper resides there. i like knowing that there WILL be an end to it all:) LOL. i like accountability:)
my box of 8.5x11 cardstock is the best:) i do 8.5x11 exclusively now...so i hardly buy any 12x12 cardstock. eventually i hope to buy something pretty to store it in, but for now this will do.
12x12 paper is store in ONE expedit cubby.wooohoooo. it is going down in size:) that's a GOOD thing!*************************************************************************************
i have been joking for years on end that we ALL could probably scrap for years on the stash we have on hand. It wasn't until the bad economy hit home that i actually believed it. Recent trips to my local craft stores have found me leaving empty-handed, not because of lack of money, but because of not finding any product that i absolutely LOVED. my 40 and 50% coupons have been used for adhesives not embellishments. Go figure.
My 100 pages/card journey has helped me more than to just downsize the stash. Making do and using the product on hand has forced me to look at the reasons why i scrapbook. it's not a competition to see who has the most embellishments on a page, or who has the coolest stuff. my scrapping is a journey and i am at the fun part of it:)

Movie and Media roundup: July 15
ok. so if you know me, even a little...you know that i am the biggest movie geek EVER!
you name it, i've seen it.
In the interest of remembering what i have watched lately, i am adding the M&M Roundup to the blog. Just little tidbits of info on thing i have enjoyed in the last few weeks.
***WARNING: all opinions on any shows, movies or anything else for that matter is strictly my own...and my kids. maybe my husband and the dog too:)
**************************************************************************************
Let the Right One In:
i have seen many a vampire film. Maybe, just maybe i have watched them all:)
this movie takes the vampire genre and mixes it with puppy love, making sure that it takes place in the most nondescript time period of all: 1982.
i am sure that the overdubbing was flawed, but the central themes of the movie were very marked. In a nutshell the movie is about a bullied boy of 12 who shows every serial killer in the making characteristic. A man and his daughter move into the apartment next door, making for a very strange relationship.
SEE IT!
it is a wonderful, haunting, well acted piece of film, plus it incited great conversation with the kids.
Cloverfield:
i LOVE sci-fi and horror. SERIOUSLY!
and this movie is just balls out, Godzilla-like, extras running around in circles GOOD.
of course, ANY sci-fi fan is going to nit-pick on the details, like how the statue of liberty's head is no in correct scale or how there are so many holes in the plot that the actual monster could fall through it.
it's fun and like i say to my DH... SUSPEND BELIEF. at least for a little while.
The Nanny Diaries:
Chick Flick. Just some good old fashioned fluff to cut through a week of serious movie/Dexter watching:) LOL.
and that is it for now...i think. More to come later including my love affair with Dexter (seasons 1-3) and why Big Brother is the single most BORING-EST show on TV right now.

100 page for today:)
these pictures are so fun that i couldn't cover them up or crop them too closely. i have been doing a lot of collages lately...there are many, many pictures that need to be scrapped and only a finite amount of space.
i "think" that this will be the last KI page for a while. maybe.
page 45:) almost there! wooohoooooo.
Mojo Monday 95:)
this is the last (i hope) of the KI stuff....at least for now.
i used one of my favorite Unity image and colored it in with bic markers.
the rest is KI stuff, plus a little ribbon.
