1. We have a bunch of tired kiddies here this morning. P & C, the two I take care of, are having a sleepover for “3 sleeps” while their parents are in New Brunswick house hunting. That boils down to mean M & G are losing their buddies mid-March – we’re sad. π¦ Last night was the firstΒ “sleep” night here and we’re all dragging a little today!
2. I’m looking forward to Crop Night at The Paperie tomorrow – it’s fun to be with friends and there’s always a midnight snack afterwards! Call and sign up by this afternoon if you want in on the fun too – come on, you know you want to! π
3. I started on the March LO for the 2012 Yearlong Album last night using the amazing Year-o-graphy line…
4. And that leads me into… I love having my Scrap Cave (which it will now be officially know as) almost cleaned and organized! I’m actually getting work done and not messing up the kitchen! And that means I don’t have to pack everything up and drag it back to the Cave all the time! Yay! When I get the bags of donations out of there and the final bits tidied away, I’ll post an updated picture. Oh, and it really is a cave as I share it with the storage room and the freezer, but it has a door. A real door! That keeps little children out! Can you tell how exciting that is to me?!?!
5. I made this quick card the other day – super simple but I love how it turned out. More clear embossed resist (told you it was a good and effective one!) but without the trapped stamping underneath. Of all the types of the cards there are, I really hate making sympathy ones at the time I need them. Those, I like to have a stockpile of and I’m all out. This one was a prototype that I liked so I think I’ll churn out a few this evening, or tomorrow at the crop night.
I used Papertrey Ink stamps, Hero Arts embossing powder and heat gun, Ranger Distress Inks, and a Scor-Bug.
6. As I was typing this up just now, my computer rebooted for “necessary updates.” Really computer? In the middle of my blog post before I saved it? Hmmmm…
Hope you all have an interesting thing-filled day – tell me some of your good things!

I’ll be there tomorrow night with bells on. I’ve got some serious scrapbooking to do. Also, I think we should have a scrap-crap swap. Seriously?! I’ll clean out my room (and i’m sure some others would too) for a swap because one mans trash is another mans treasure. Seriously.

Sounds good to me! I have to wait to see how much of my “crap” is donated as I’ve already promised it, but I’m sure I could dig out a few things to bring!

Love the card. I’ll be at crop night (first time, if you can believe that!) … but I think I’ll be skipping midnight snacks. I’m still catching up on 9+ months of lost sleep!!

Next time that happens, when you’ve rebooted your computer go to Dashboard and click on Posts.A somewhat recent version may be saved – hope that helps!
