I've tried! I've tried really hard... I've  been mostly good. I've skipped craft stores even when I was passing right by, but I've had to give in once in a while ;) I've bought some stamps that were on clearance, some rhinestone stickers and some clearance Christmas papers and embellishments. When I had coupons I bought a paper punch and some smooch spritz. I've bought stuff that I know I'm going to use and that was on sale. I guess I'm still trying to build up my stash on certain things like punches and stamps. I don't have the variety I would like to have yet. I think I've done ok for the first month. I mean, even after all the holiday sales and clearance items, I didn't buy as much as I would have otherwise. It may seem like a lot but it's not, really! I'm happy with my efforts but I think I can do better next month and I will certainly try! I've been using stuff from my stash. I don't go looking for more suppl...

Hi WOYWWers! How are you all this week? Doesn't Wednesday sneak up on you so suddenly?! It's ok, I look forward to getting a peek at what you're all up to. A lot of you know I'm working on a Master's degree in Education, so sometimes there is nothing crafty going on on my desk. This week happens to be one of those but I found something to show you anyway! The box is an interesting little item I acquired from my mom. She was going to throw it away. Can you believe it? It used to be filled with chocolates from Venezuela. It was a nice little souvenier from her boss. She ate all the chocolates of course, she shared and they were delicious. But she's not like me with the keeping of containers and things 'I might use.' I really don't know where I got the 'crafty' from lol. The embroidery floss is what I'm gonna be using to make some more crocheted embellishements in between work, school and homework. There's also some stamps I just ...

Hello everyone! I'll keep it short so we can get around to more desks :) My finished LO from last week: There's a hidden tab for journaling. Another LO I just finished, not so sure if I like it. Might change it a bit later. I re-did my half of the scraproom a bit. I got a new shelf (the black one). Not sure how I like it either...might re-organize it soon. Any constructive opinions welcome :) Oh! If you're feeling generous check out this post and play along :) If you've stumbeled upon this and want to know what WOYWW is all about head over to Julia's blog and find out! Happy WOYWW! 

I got this wonderful idea from Jude's blog . I promise something hand made by me to the first 5 people to comment on this post. The only catch is that you also have to post this on your blog and offer something hand made to five other people. It must be home made or hand made by you. Isn't it a  wonderful idea?

I made this card for my friend's birthday this weekend. Pink is her favorite color :) I was inspired by the Paper Variety's challenge this week. Pink and black and/or white. What a sweet challenge ;)  I flocked and glittered the cupcake, I put some ribbon and pen stitching around the circle. The card is 5 by 5 so you can get an idea of the size. Love that cupcake! It's a double stick dazzle from paperwishes, the papers are making memories, the ribbon is from joann's and the pin is from my shop . Have a great weekend!

Hello Everyone, I haven't been posting on wednesdays for a while now. I've been loosing track of time and wednesdays just fly by! I missed it, and I'm glad to be back! If you've stumbled upon this and want to find out what I'm talking about go visit Julia at The Stamping Ground . She's the queen of the WOYWWers and thanks to her we get to be nosy once a week and look at other blogger's desks! My desk has a layout that I was going to work on but never got to it and eventually it got put away. I recently brought it out again and hopefully next wednesday it will be all done....hopefully.... There's also a crochet pug that I've been working on, it's a gift for a friend. I'll try to take a picture before I give it away. That's all folks! Enjoy your snoop  :)
