Some Catching Up?

My O My!!! I think that its about time for me to catch you all up on some of what I have been up to these past few months! I'm so sorry that I have been missing for so long!
We have been busy moving and trying to get settled in again, getting used to the new surroundings, and catching up on everything. Its just been plain hectic!
Anyway, I am back and I have some really fun things to show to all of you today.
About a month ago I walked into a Staples and saw that they have already started their back to school sales, I'm a total sucker for these sales! I was walking around filling my shopping cart with all sorts of dollar and penny items. One of the items that caught my eye was a small clear green clipboard. As soon as I saw it I knew exactly what I had to do with it! I quickly finished my shopping and took off for home. Once I got home I just threw everything on the couch and dug out this clipboard and got to work. 

Before I started my little Project

I picked out masculine type paper and fun embellishments to match such as bold brads, owls, and metal tags. The project I chose to take on with this was a Honey Do List. I've never made one before and thought that it would be a great quick project. (*In case any of you out there were wondering, my Husband actually responded to it well and has gotten into the habit of checking it to see what I might need help with that day/night.*)



Finished!!!!

Looks great don't you think!? Instead of posting a paper pad to it I decided to do something a little more green friendly, I picked up a fine tip wet erase marker and it works beautifully! But, because it is a clipboard it helps when we need to remember to grab something on our way out of the house, such as coupons or even the rent check! It was a fun project and came out so well! I've even thought of making a few to sell, what do all of you think?

I have also spent some time making some Birthday cards here and there, unfortunately I really don't have anything big to say about them. They are cute and were all very fun to make.

Another fun project I finished was a gift for a friend, I love thinking outside the box and one of my favorite projects from doing that is the upcycled 12x12 scrapbook albums! I take albums that have been used and abused and are ready to be trashed and I reinvent them into fun works of all art. You can see the first one that I made by following this link:

Another Fun thing going on right now is a basic card sale on the Facebook Page. Some of the items have been sold and I will update these photos as the items are sold, but there are still a lot of great cards up for sale and the Travel Mini Album is still up for grabs! :) So stop by and check it out!!
