Getting back to ME


It's taking a while, but I'm slowly getting back to ME.
Sorted through my scrap supplies.
20 POUNDS of stuff.
That's what it all weighed when I was finished!!
5,000 alphabet letters later
ALL
MY
LOOSE
ALPHAS
ARE SORTED.
I can find them now!!
(i didn't KEEP all 5,000)
I can FIND what I want, and USE it too!!
The box below weighed 14 pounds!!

I re organized my ribbons, because I was getting so many, that my plastic bag system was causing trouble in the FINDING THE RIGHT ONE dept!! I used shower rings from the thrift store, hung on metal embroidery hoops. Total cost: $0.75

My collection of Dr. Seuss books... One day they will be altered into something new!

My Mini Books

I added a suitcase... isn't it the cutes pink case EVER!?!?

My clip it up is FULL

In other news, Macs is bald in one spot on his head... I had to shave his hair to place a butterfly bandage on a cut he got after falling backward onto the concrete out front. :::sigh::: that boy. He tries so hard to keep up with those big brothers!! lol

Lastly, I have a little give away for you!! I have an extra gold display like the one holding up my Art Journal (notice I FINALLY got around to decorating the cover!!) Leave me a comment, and I will pick a winner... you can have your own display!! (journal not included)
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

  8. Okay, okay, I'm PURGING....really!! But I NEED that little display, lol! So far I've gotten rid of about, um, 1 pound of schtuff. I still have over half of my stash to go through though. Who KNOWS what lurks in these drawers? lol

    Give Macs an extra snuggley squeeze for me...poor little guy sure did bang himself up! Good thing he's got a mama who knows how to take care of such things without passing out. Yay!
