September 2, 2010 Wow the year is almost over

Hello to all,

Its' been a while since I last blogged. I am still here and still trying to get the hang of things. So much to learn and so little time to learn it. Just think the year is half way over 3 more months and we will be preparing for the new year. Where did the time go? Well, since I last blogged I've done several vids on youtube just did not transfer them over here. But starting now I will try and at least blog twice a week so that I can continue to meet new friends and keep up with things. I've learned so much already. It's just hard to juggle all these different sites. But anyway I just want to drop a few lines. If anyone is following me please check out my youtube channel and continue to follow and watch me here. Sooner or later I want to start doing more challenges and swap. I've done a few already and they are super fun. I just have a difficult time time doing them because of my work schedule. Hopefully that will be changing soon.(keep your fingers crossed for me). Well, I will check in again soon.

Hugs,

Melissa

Just For Fun

Hello again to everyone, Hope you all had a Fabulous Friday. It was back to work for me today, good thing I only have a four day work week this week. Update to all that may have been following me. My laundry/craft room is almost complete. I put all my materials and supplies back in there even though I still have painting and a little more construction to do. Couldn't wait. But anyway I made a card for the challenge blog "For Fun Challenges" The challenge was for "Birthdays" So this is what I came up with.. Hope you like it. I used regular card stock, pattened paper from dcwv, the bling was from recollections, a fiskars embossing and punch combo.

Father's Day Card

Hello everyone I just wanna show you all a card that I made for the Cricut Cardz Challenge#27...You could use any colors and any cartridges just had to be for Father's Day. I used A Child's Year, the design paper was from DCWV. I aslo sprayed a little shimmer spritz on the silhouette and used black photo corners. My sentiment was too big so now I have to find a smaller one.

Hey Everyone

Hello, I hope the start of this new week will bring everyone much happiness and whatever it is you are in the need of. As for me I'm in need of my craft room to be completed, but thats not gonna happen right now..I will be back in there for a little while Wednesday...I am really going thru crafting withdrawls right now...I have to get ready for work now... So I will be checking in with you all a little later.... Enjoy your day!!!

Hello everyone just a post to share with everyone. I have evolved, today I learned how to edit my youtube video that was too long in length. It took me a while to figure it out but I did it. It was originally 11:26 in length and we only have 10:00 on youtube. I edited it to 9:42 in length. Please watch!

Can't Craft

Hello everyone, I just needed a space to vent a little. I am a little sad because I can not craft while I am off of work for two days. My craft room is being remodeled and all my things are everywhere and every time I wanna work on a project I get my supplies and materials then I realize that I'm missing something. Then I have to stop and get what I was missing and that's beginning to be really frustrating. I'm trying to work out of my dining room and its just not working for me. I can not clear my head, it seems to be cluttered just like my scrap room, causing me not to be able to focus on my projects. I only have two days off and the room will not be ready until Friday thats my last day off and I will have to spend that day cleaning up and putting everything back into place. I work 3-11 so when I get off I'm kind of tired and then I don't want to be up all not crafting. We all know how time consuming crafting can be.. I have to figure something out... I don't want to drive myself crazy by not crafting. Then I was out last week and brought me some new materials and supplies that I want to play around with and I can't. That too is REALLY frustrating. Well enough of that. I will find an effective way to work around this CHAOS... I am also open for suggestions.

Feeling Free Friday...

Hey everyone, today I felt free to do whatever I wanted to do today. So I went shopping. I went to Tuesday Morning, Big Lots, Joann and Michaels. I picked up a few good things. When I get things going I will download some videos onto my blogs. Once I get the hang of things I would like to participate in the swaps and challenges.I really love crafting it is such an outlet for me. I am now in the process of getting my scraproom/laundry room made over. I can't wait until it's done. I'm super excited for the finish. I am still crafting, I just have to bring all my supplies and equipment into the dining room. It's a little frustrating at times, sometimes I may forget something that I need or think of something else that I wanna use on the project then I have to stop and go get the material. I will show a before and after video . Well goodnight.

Didn't Know

Hello everybody, Today I found out that I created my blog page correctly. One night I was just playing around on my computer and decided to make a blog. I was under the assumption that I was unsuccessful with creating my blog until tonight when again I'm just playing around on my laptop and decided to see if my blog page was created, so I typed my page name into the address bar and TaDaaaa there it was. Then I went and posted my very first blog.....YEAHHHHH. I want to meet new people who share the same passion as myself CRAFTING.... I would love to join in on the challenges, share my projects, learn new techniques and join in on the swaps. Hope this blog reach many beginner, novice, advanced and expert crafter's all over.

Until then goodnight.
