Wow- been a LONG time!

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Tue, 05 Apr 2011 22:32:00 +0000

Drastic changed in our world- we ended up moving, but instead of just to the next town, we moved out of state! With not knowing many people in the area, I've dusted off my supplies, and have started pulling them out to play with again. Oh, happy day!

A change with this blog is that it will not be strictly scrapping & stamping. But any creative mess that I am working on. Creative is creative- and it's ALL good.

Right?

Right!

Moving & Ebaying

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Sun, 14 Nov 2010 21:00:00 +0000

We are moving & because of this (many other changes) I am cleaning out my scrapbooking room. I'm not holding back either, I do believe my husband is in shock.

I had a huge sale last month. I held some back for ebay (which I am listing right now- "TexasnIdaho") and very few that I'm packing up to keep. Not to mention giving a lot away.

I know I've been neglecting this blog- I'd planned on deleting it, but I decided to go ahead and keep it to share with the internet world. I do plan to come back and upload my creative spurts- just right now life if not online with me doing this.

Until then-- be sure to check out my ebay listings if you are hoping to get a killer deal on some great items.

I've been disabled.

I've not vanished.

I've not de-friended you.

I've not been killed off.

But I am not on there right now- not sure why, but I want to get back!!

As for this blog, it's summer & school is out-- I'll be playing soon.

Chaquita Banana Monkey

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Sun, 21 Mar 2010 03:32:00 +0000

Chaquita was a mistake gone wonderfully well!

My friend Maria and I were trying to make a cow based on our sketches. We had 3 of them going at once and were having issues with the muzzles. This one was the most "monkey like," and we decided to go with it.

I think she turned out positively ADORABLE!

The eyelashes are a little on the heavy eye-liner side, but the stars in her eyes balance it all out.

What do you think?!

Used:
SU: circle punches, oval punches flower punch & word window punch. Top Note die also.
Paper: scraps
Other: glitter pen, ribbon

Merry Moose-mas!

Great Classroom gift

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Tue, 22 Dec 2009 22:30:00 +0000

My son loves to read. Loves is a strong word- but he really does. We bought him a 5 book series (Gregor the Overlander) and her read them all in a week. I was a tiny bit bummed, just because he'd gotten through them so fast. But, I was also tickled because he got through them so fast.

For his class gift, we made bookmarks for everyone. With the help of punches (circles & scallops) and stickers & stamps, we dressed up paperclips, did a fun saying from Dr. Suess and stick them in a baggie.

He said they were a hit!

Stamp Club #3

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 01:42:00 +0000

These aren't exactly what we did. Everyone made their own thing. But we did what has become tradition- altering a calendar and making a matching pen.

Everyone has GREAT creativity!! We did it a week early because of the holiday (mixed with crazy travel plans!!)

Stamp Club in full swing again!

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 13:07:00 +0000

Had the preview party- and the 1st official date to start is the 21st. We have 1 opening left- contact me if you are interested.

Good grief

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 22:56:00 +0000

Life has been so busy- I miss my scrappin & card making time. A lot.

Medical drama's going on as well, plus throw in being back to school. It's no wonder the 3 of us fall into bed every night!

Hoping to be back to scrapping on a normal basis again very soon. My goal is to spend at least 3 hours a week in my little room. I've got 3 craft fairs to get ready for!!

Also- the card club is starting back up. We have 2 spaces open- 3rd Saturday of the month at 9am. Email me for details.

She did good.

I was at 1st Friday doing some card fronts for a swap when a friend walked in and wanted to make what I was making. She did good!! :) (My pictures will be up of my 3 images once I know April has them in her hands.)

Scrapbooking Shower "swap"

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 02:00:00 +0000

What do you do for a mom who has a lot of kiddo's, is having a new baby, so a baby shower isn't really appropriate? Well, you have a scrapbook shower of sorts! Here is the layout I did for her. I won't be able to be at the get together, however, but I still had fun making it up.

Lots of dangle, sparkle (both in glitter pens & in rhinestones) and cut outs. (Half the flowers on the left hand side are doubled and popped out.)

Bet you can't guess what she's having...

*it's been forever since I've done a 8.5X11 page!!

Update on my nephew

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 01:54:00 +0000

Je was able to get a little bit of real food today. And this evneing he got in a short walk. A really short walk, but still a walk. The first time out of his room also. YAY!!!

Trent & the BIG surgery

noreply@blogger.com (Melzie) — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 14:30:00 +0000

My nephew Trent is scheduled to have his "big" surgery in the morning, 7am. This one will last 4-6 hours if all goes well. They will be placing 2 rods and 12 screws in his back- a reconstruction for his scoliosis, which is causing breathing issues as his spine is currently crushing his lungs.

Please keep him, he's 6, my sister & hubby (Jenny & Richard) and the doctors in your thoughts and prayers. There is a 50% chance he will be paralyzed with this surgery- and we are all scared about the outcome. The attached picture is Trent the day he got released from his last surgery 2 weeks ago.

Here is the address' where cards can be sent if you would like. The hospital won't be very long (if all goes perfectly, which is what we hope for) but my mom will be bringing the other 2 boys over on the weekend so she will be taking any cars/packages with her.

Hospital address (5-10 days)
Trent Davidson
3030 Children's Way
San Diego, CA 92123

Home Address
Trent Davidson
7138 B Sagebrush Terrance
29 Palms, CA 92277

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers!!!
