Day 113 Tuesday

Started another junk journal today - they are addicting.  These are not even for my junk journal swap.  I am really enjoying making them.  I like to put in lots of pattern paper, tags, line paper, graph paper, ledger paper, and tons of pockets.  There is tons of room for pictures, ephemera, journaling, etc.  They are a fun and unique gift.  I am in love with them right now.

112 Monday

Received my chunky charm swap today.  Beautiful charms.

Josh had his toe surgery today...they ended up working on 7 toes.  Arg.  Poor thing.  Tomorrow I will work from home while taking care of him. 

I started to clean up my room tonight.  It is definitely a two night job.  I just puttered around tonight.  I know I should be finishing up things....but I needed a break from  unfocused time just to play.  Tomorrow after working it will be serious crafting time...provided Josh is feeling better.  K

111 Sunday

Worked, went to Shanna's house.  Made the beginnings of two junk journals.  I love how they are starting to come out.  I have a ways to go on them yet.

Found some great beads at Walmart.  We also went to the "good" Joanns.  Had so much fun in the store...it is like a wonderland.  So sad...they had a rack of flowershoppe cartridge and fancy frames for $19.99 each - they were all gone.  They didn't have anymore in the warehouse and they couldn't get anymore.  SO SAD.

110 Saturday

Finished wrapping and packing box.  Got it shipped - yay.
Packaged two match box swaps - mailed double yay.
Mailed out all the paperclips and clothes pins - hurray!

Painted a wood box and started covering it.  Syped with Pam and Cindy.  Much fun.

I so freak out when using Modge Podge.  When I see bubbles my heart sinks a little, then all is fine.

Had to stop to get some work done.

109 Friday

Thank goodness craftwarehouse has a 40% off coupon this week. Josh and I made a trip - he felt so bad when he found out.  Arg.  Nothing like having to buy something twice. :(  I want my sister to have a good box, so it is important that I do so.  She is an awesome partner, so she is worth it :)  Ooops...how come I bought more stuff than what was thrown away.  I am so bad.

So tonight I started an altered container...not loving it..put it aside.  Started wrapping and tagging gifts.

108 Thursday

I definitely need to figure out where that cord is.  I need to post pictures :)  I love how the  __________ _________ came out.  So that album is done.  Oh my goodness I am surrounded by stuff today.  Everytime I start a swap, I work up a crafting hurricane that just sweeps across the whole room.  By the time I finish, the room could be declared a disaster area.  Ooooh, I made an altered wood box that I just loved how it came out.  It was just one of those little purse ones.  I made it to hold the little bottles of liquid pearls in all the colors of the rainbow. 

Disaster struck...I am sick to my stomach and I have to go to bed.  I just noticed, a bag of craft goodies is missing.  I had it on the floor....oh crap...Josh took out trash and the trash bag is still here.  He took out the bag of stuff I had for my shoebox swap.  I want to cry.  Luckily it was just a few items and not everything.  Sick to my stomach - going to bed.

107 Wednesday

Embellished ____________ ______________ for sis today.  Love it.....it needs a little more...but I am not sure what.   Tomorrow is another day.  

Creative thought...this is the first time I made a _____________  ____________ and it was totally addicting.  I have several more to make for other swaps, but I am loving them.
