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

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!
