Eva Cassidy...

see her here: http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=46068544647&h=efJse&u=V9ePM . She sung like an angel. It is my understanding that she passed away at the age of 32 from melanoma. It gave me chills listening to her beautiful voice.

Making Memories at CHA

They are running a live feed at www.ustream.tv/makingmemories . They are showing the Slice and lots of other goodness. Since some of us can't be there, it's the next best thing. Thanks, MM!

So...

It's been awhile since I've been on here. Just very busy.

Here is a little something I just finished for Challenge #4 over at Scrap Etc.

Wishing everyone a very...

Merry Christmas! A safe one too.

We will be heading south for the holiday. Yeah!!!! I can hardly wait to get there. Will I ever get everything done before we leave? Lets hope so.

Have a blessed one ya'll.

Take a look at this piece of art...

Here . Found in this Etsy shop. I abosolutely love the composition, flow, and colors. Oh the colors!!! It is almost perfect for the girls' room.

There are so many people who put links up for Etsy finds. I just had to share this one with you. Of course, I do know this artist. Yes. I said "artist." Stacey is well on her way to being extremely well known. I'm sure of it. This is just an example of her collages. Her paintings and drawings are simply amazing!!! Wanna see somemore of her B-eautiful stuff, including photography? Check her out at happygirlstacey .

O! The weather outside is frightful...

a fire would be so delightful.
We have so many places to go,
don't let it snow,
don't let it snow,
DON"T let it snow.

Girls are home from school because the roads are iced over. I have so much to do today, but here I sit on the computer surfing thru happy scrapbooking sites putting lots of new things on my wishlist. The top of the list is an ATG by the way.;) I am seriously wanting some new Sizzix dies. Well, the original stuff. Did you know that they now have Hello Kitty dies! Those are way up there too. I think my girls would horde those to the point I'd never get to play with them.

All that wishing certainly has put me in a much better mood. Enough to go hurry and get the house cleaned up and then make crafty stuff with the girls. That is if they get their room cleaned too. I'm sure it won't take too long to get it done when I break out all the scrapbook papers, stamps, glitter, glue, and Sizzix. They get all excited when their eyes hit they stuff. Especially if they get to play with my stuff.

Well, it is best that I get busy. Hope you all have a super, fantastic, wonderful kind of day. Keep warm and safe.
