LOVE THIS TIME OF YEAR!!!!

One of my favorite summer events takes place tomorrow: Arthur Ashe Kids' Day! @AAKIDSDAY. I am volunteering on Court 11! Stop by & say hi! 





I have always enjoyed late August, early September. It means new school books, new TV cartoons/TV shows, seeing old friends, shiny new shoes & my Daddy taking me from store to store so I can find the PERFECT lunchbox! (Metal-lol). As an adult, late September means volunteering at the US OPEN Arthur Ashe Kids Day. I have been volunteering for the last several years and it feels awesome to give back as I was a recipient of Arthur Ashe's tennis program when I was a teen-ager. Through this free program, I was able to meet greats like Chrissy Everett and John McEnroe and the late Vitas Geralitis.  I adore the game of tennis! 

If you get a chance, grab a kid or two and take them out for a day of fun! The events are free. THE SHOW IS A PAID EVENT-BUT IS AIRED ON CBS ON SUNDAY. The food is reasonable. Go on! HAVE FUN!!!

It's Just Paper & Glue!

Hi everyone! It has been so very busy around here for the last few months! Noodles has graduated high school and started college on July 9th! Yep! She is attending school year round and did not want to wait! She is a Fashion Merchandising Major in a NYC and loves it!

In addition to getting Noodles set, life has gotten in the way of scrapping! I am dealing with chronic migraines. My email was hacked and boy was that UGLY! My cell phone, since it is connected to my email account, had to be reset as well. Speaking of UGLY-there have been a few nasty things going on over on YT that RUCKUS and I are going to address on the next TABLE SCRAPS! Sad that people cannot remember that when it comes down to it......

 we are all creatively connected
 and scrapping is just paper and glue!

SUSI'S SURPRISE BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!!!

 Welcome to the next stop of Susi's surprise BIRTHDAY BLOG HOP!!! Woooo! Hooooo! I am glad that you stopped by to be part of the celebration! If you are hopping over here from Linda and Susi's Blog and also took a peek at Alee's post while you were there, you are in the right place. If not, CLICK HERE so you can start at the beginning.  

Susi likes owls. Correction. Susi looooves owls. Her bestie Linda thought it would be awesome if we all created an owl related project in honor of Susi's day!

From watching her YouTube vids, I know that Susi is big on family and I wanted to create something that reflected that. I altered a frame that I purchased from A.C. Moore  awhile ago. Since we are challenging ourselves not to buy scrappy goodies, "What The Heck" Linda, cut owls from her silhouette and mailed them to me. I thought they were really cute and loved that one was orange!  



HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUSI!!!!
YOU ROCK MAMA! ENJOY YOUR DAY!!!
BENDICIONES

If you are not familiar with Susi, CLICK HERE to be taken to her
YouTube Channel and check her out! She is a riot!  

Your next stop on Susi's Birthday Blog Hop is our crafty sister Nancy! 
CLICK HERE to be taken to her blog to continue the fun! 

Thanks for taking a peek! Thanks Linda for including me
in the hop!
XOXOXOXOXO

NEW YEAR CHALLENGE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

As we start this New Year, I wish you all health and happiness! May you all find the blessings that await you with each new day this year!

I really do not make resolutions, but I love to challenge myself! I recently cleaned my scrap room and found I had double of a lot of items. I also have goodies that I haven't even touched yet: a craft sewing machine, Cinch,  and crackle paint to name a few. This year my challenge is NOT TO BUY ANY SCRAPPING GOODIES for a year! Yep, you read it! I WILL NOT BUY ANY SCRAPPING GOODIES FOR ONE WHOLE, LONG, ENTIRE YEAR! And this being a LEAP YEAR, that is 366 days!  Linda, sweetie pie that she is, has decided to take the challenge with me! (I see a future “What The Heck” episode on this challenge! LOL)

For 2012 I challenge myself to only purchase
Glue/adhesive
Plain cardstock (for cards and diecuts)
Craft cardstock
Paper Bags
Envelopes
Refills for my COPIC MARKERS
Colorless Blender for Copic use
Any tool in my arsenal that may become damaged/lost/stolen 
e.g. heat gun, hot glue gun, paper trimmer, Cricut, scissors, etc.
Any replacement tool/item (blades,light,etc.)  
Stamp cleaner
Black Stazon Ink
Black Momento Ink
Organizational tools/items
Scrappy magazines that I currently subscribe to
Kathy Orta tutorials
(Click HERE for Kathy's Blog) 

I will attend CROPS/CONVENTIONS but I will not purchase anything on the vendor floor/booths.

I will attend classes at CROPS/CONVENTIONS, but purchase nothing additional to what is included in the class kit.

I WILL NOT PURCHASE any scrappy goodies for Linda and vice versa!

OH! BOY! OH! BOY! WISH ME LUCK!!!!

Do any of you have challenges for yourself this year? Let me know. Thanks for stopping by!
