Day 57

Sorry I didn't post this last night, but by the time I got done...I was exhausted.  After work yesterday I went to the cemetary to visit my dad.  Then Josh and I honored him by going and seeing the Planet of the Apes movie.  My dad and I used to watch the tv show when I was a kid.  So then I decided since I was having a new craft buddy come over I needed to clean my craft room.  I also worked on the dress form swap - just cannot get it to the way I want...maybe it is time to cut losses and go back to the butterfly tags.

Day 56

So tonight was a study night...long day at work...I think for my one crafty thing tonight I am just going to do one stick pin and then head to bed.  Tomorrow it's tags.  Kel

day 55 - Wednesday

Oh I got a bit of crafting in tonight.  Imade new dress form tags and got the design down.  I just have to rework the outfit for the dress form.  I then need to embelish the tag a little more...then done.  I can think of so many ideas if I just had this or that.  You know those feelings....followed by a big trip to the craft store...I am just trying to find something in my stash that would work.  I wish I had a big bag of black feathers in my stash - that would make the tag perfect.  That is the only hint you get for now.  I have to see if they work out first, before I go to my next plan....So it will probably be Friday before I finish these.  Arg...so much to do...so little time.

Day 54 - Tuesday

We are headed towards the two month mark....woot woot.  I have to make this post fast because it is almost bedtime.  I have to package up a few swaps tomorrow, but they are ready to mail...

Mini Album for Disney Swap - Angeled
Altered Matchbox and things
Dominoes
Imagine Swap - finished tonight (Woot Woot x 2)

I almost had my second set of tags (90% complete for the tag form swap).  I changed my mind.  I had an idea that if it came out it would be awesome, but instead I decided to go the safe route.  I decided tonight to through caution to the wind and pullled the tags apart...because part of them are beautiful and I will use for my chunky charm swap, but this idea if I can pull it off will be awesome...at least really neat anyway.  We shall see....tomorrow is another day.  I have to fit some studying in here soon and a big trip to the post office so I can send these out.

You should check out Shanna's blog at inkyedges.blogspot.com - she is awesome.  Jealous about the layout of her blog - it is beautiful.

Day 53 Monday

I skyped with Cindy.  Didn't know what to work on.  I tried working on my Imagine swap but was struggling with printing full page.  I think I need to run the updates, so I decided to wait until Tuesday to do that because I didn't want it to interfere with the skype call.  Soooooo I decided to work on my other dress form.  I have the tag cut and assembled.  I have the dress form done and decorated.  I just need to embellish the tag and add a pocket to the back.  I did make six of them though, so they are close to being done. 

What I need to accomplish this week:

Finish dress form for tag swap
Do TH tag - already did chunky charm
Imagine Swap
Half made/Half bought swap - make at least one thing
This weekend - 6 layered paper cake for nephew's wedding

Next week:
Vintage Flowers
Half made/Half bought  Swap finish

Then start on mini albums

Then I have two boxes to make with homemade items
Bottle caps
12 days of christmas

Then I would like to finish items in my incomplete box.

Ambitious huh?  I better work have a great day....Kel

Day 52 Sunday

I just realized Saturday's post was dated Sunday - hmmmm it was certainly a late night.  Sunday I got up super duper early and was ambitious on only 2 hours sleep.  I made seven Wizard of Oz tags.  One was for Shanna.  Then everything caught up to me...mojo was running on zero.  I went and took a nice long nap and then decided to call it a day.  I think Shanna was dissapointed, but I had nothing left.  I had more fun than an old broad can handle.
