POTD #15

I was bored today, started to organize my closet and my scrap stuff and didn't want to finish the job. Instead, I went a got a canvas, painted it, then got creative. I love my starbucks gift cards and love the way each one is it's own piece of mini art. So I created this canvas to display my cards...and it's got room to keep adding as well. I am very happy with the outcome. I also am posting a picture of the hallway I use to store a lot of my creative supplies.

Newest Layouts

Had to do this LO, too funny a story not to!



I actually changed the saturation on these photos to
give them a more aged looked to match the paper I
used. Simply put, Jordyn loves babies and can't wait
till we go see friends with them. :)



Just a fun LO to scrap about the women
whom I have grown to be friends with
from my scrap board.



I am so lucky that Tim has started letting
me take pictures of him over the last few years.
I enjoy scrapping them as much as possible.



This is my favorite LO of the bunch.
I love Erika and look forward to her
yearly letters since we live away from
each other. This LO was done with her
actual letter from this past Christmas,
and a photo from the year before. I
simple added to her wonderful artwork
and created a LO in which I made a pocket
behind it to include all the other letters I have.

My photo gallery of the girls grad photos

Without the help of Tim, since I had been asking for a few weeks to help me get the pictures up, I managed to do a pretty good job on making them all level and equally spaced...yay me!!!!

I was so happy with both girls grad photos, and since they cost so much to get done, I wanted to display them proudly. These photos are a mixture of professional and personal photos taken. I have one more little one to put up on the left hand side once Jordyn has her grad dinner/commencement.

To get to this point of enjoying my daily mocha, there is a lot of decision making I must do. Work days are pretty easy as I only use my Starbucks travel mug and there is never any whipped cream then....but bring on the weekend or a random day off in the week, and well, there are some decision's to be made. Which of my many mugs do I use? for those of you who don't know me well enough, there are lots to choose from, of my personal starbucks collection I have at least 10 then I also have my Vegas mug and my Disneyland mug...and then after the mug has been decided on, then it's which International Delight coffee milk, hazelnut, french vanilla, southern pecan or butter toffee, or as of right now, a special edition Dolce de leche.....yummy. So after I've made all my choices, I boil the water, add 4 scoops of hot chocolate (and only the milk chocolate) a little spoon of instant coffee to make it a mocha then my flavoring and then whipped creme. And yes, it is definetely worth all the effort. Starts my day off on a yummy note!!!

This is just a sampling of all the things I must decide before enjoying my daily beverage. Crazy, well maybe just a little. It's one of my many quirks that makes me special. :)

Scrapbook shopping score!!!!

okay, so I intended on going to the scrapbooking store and using my 40% off coupon on on item. Well I walked into Precious Memories, and they had so much on clearence today it was crazy. By the time I even got to the regular items I had a hand basket full of paper and embellishments. I got about 35 sheets of paper, stickers, 2 acrylic stamp set (and they gave me two sets free after I had made my purchase) a couple of wood stamps and flowers and buttons. I then used my coupon for a cool template for stitching cirlces on my layouts....I only spent $45 and my savings was over $30...now that's some good shopping.... :)
