Still cleaning.....



Mary was over helping me organize my studio last night, and I found a ton of stuff that I forgot that I had! Some good some bad LOL. We found this awesome paper!!! I have a ton of Hambly and sometimes it gets "lost" The accents are making memories, I got them on sale a few months ago. They're glittery and clear!!!! The silver metal word are from Joanns and I think I bought them when I first started scrapbooking. I knew I would need them EVENTUALLY!!! There is an awesome piece of fabric behind the picture that I got at a cool whole sale fabric place here in Dallas. If you live around me check out the Etsy Dallas Blog and support your local crafters! I colored the white vinyl Thickers with a Sharpie. This is fast becoming my go to marker of choice. I bought a big set of bright colors and they always seem to match, and plus they write on anything! I printed the journaling on the picture in Photoshop elements 6, it reads: You always make me feel so special. This pic of us on the boat ride in San Antonio sums up a happy happy 24th birthday for me. i love you the most. Thanks for making every day the best day ever! I hope you like it!!! Im gonna go take a pic of some of the stuff I have assembled for the blog candy. So far there is an Autumn Leaves stamp set, some rubons and paper and trim and ribbon and a bunch more!!!! I am also gonna give a secret prize away to another lucky person! I'm feeling rather gifty today :) So remember all comments count till next wed!!! I am hoping to have pics of my finished studio up this week, with some pics of past organizational messes I have gotten my self into. I also plan on doing some tutorials soon. I just gotta figure out how to con my husband into taking the pics lol. Today also starts tip of the day which I'm gonna start putting at the end of all my blog posts, I learn all kinds of cool stuff and I hope it helps you out!!! Have a great day bloggers!!!!

TIP OF THE DAY: Store all of your Ranger Paint Dabbers upside down, it will help the paint flow better. Also, if you find the sponge dried out, spritz some water on it to loosen up the paint! I usually spritz with a Mini Mister then get it started on a paper towel or scrap paper. Once you get the hang of it this will take allot of head ache out of using the Paint Dabbers!!!!
