I knew when we first started talking about GutterGirlz in seriousness, that we had a good idea. I knew that we would have some gals who would be interested. I knew that. I had NO IDEA we would take off like WILD FIRE. I mean, OVER 2000 hits, wildfire. That's not counting clicking from the main page to other pages within the blog. Our counter can tell that it's still you, and doesn't count you unless you've been gone for a while. I'm just amazed. THANK YOU to all the girlz who "GOT" us, and have spread our site's link around!! All our traffic to date has been through word of mouth. ScrapScene announced us... (THANK YOU) SIStv gals posted, and visited!! TallyScrappers, and so many MANY other gals have linked to us and mentioned us on websites... Even in the UK! Thank you to each and everyone of you. I have tried to follow through on every comment that has been left at GutterGirlz.
I created today too!! I THINK (and I could totally be wrong...)
that I'm done with my projects that I've signed up for!! Got the Summer Banners in the mail, got the Cocktail Swap cards in the mail, got my card assignment for Tally done this month, got my ATC's for various people I've asked to trade with completed... got my gutter girl project finished... I think (and again, could be TOTALLY wrong) that I'm done with things until... OH YEAH...
Until this weekend!! Because we are having a CYBER CROP at Tally from Sat until Monday (really Tuesday morning) at midnight!! That's when the NEW design team will be finished being picked!! We'll be having games and chatting it up ESPECIALLY on Monday, because THAT's the night we'll all be waiting to see WHO will be the next six people to take on the designer spots!!
SO. Back to the projects I have to share!! The card assignment I did today! Used the Shaving Cream technique for the ice cream scoops, and a coffee sleeve fro the cone! I really like the way this came out. I'm liking cards more and more every day!!

ATC's that I made...

Here's where the explosion part comes in... As you can see, my creation station exploded, and I was forced to create on top of all this... lol I mean, really!?!? You can't even SEE my sewing machine!! It's pretty bad. That's probably what I should work on next. Ya think?
Played around with some self portraits the other day, and this is one of my faves.

If you've read this far, and I haven't lost you yet, THANK YOU for sticking with my BOOK today!! I guess I had more to talk about than I thought I did. Thanks for stopping in!!

ReplyDeleteA messy desk is the sign of a creative person! I appreciate your comment on my Gutter Girlz entry. I really am so excited about that blog. A place where everything doesn't have to be acid free and perfect! Awesome! =0)
