My newest passion

is 3d decoupage. Couple that with a magnolia image, and you have my newest card. Unfortunately, the photos do not show the 3d-ness of the card, but I can see it, so it's all good.

Oh, my, I am so glad to have some days off. It seems as if I have been working forever. Twelve hour shifts are killing me. Now I need some motivation to clean my house. It doesn't seem to be coming but I'll give it a few more hours. I really think I could be much more creative in a tidy space, but I haven't had a chance to prove that. I received two of Chelsea's Gurly Girl stamps and am having so much fun coloring. This really takes me back to my childhood. Love the stamps, chel!! Well, I'm off to seek motivation.....

Chelsea's got some blog candy. what i wouldn't give to win this!! http://craftinglifespieces.blogspot.com/

Check out Chelsea's winter collection of clear stamps on the right. Her little girls are SO CUTE!! I love them and want them all. Will probably have to be judicious and only choose the ones i HAVE to have. They're available tomorrow. Can't wait.

Wow, this interior decorating of a blog is very hard. I thought I needed to do some work on my blog, so I'm trying to change some things. I followed the directions, I think, but it's not working. Go figure. Ok, so back to square one. I am determined to do this, but I better step away from the computer and get something tangible accomplished today. Cleaning toilets comes to mind.....but, nah, I think I should probably color some more gorguss girls.

here's something that's been bothering me.

I heard on the news that the Obamas are going to redecorate the living quarters of the White House. HELLO.......have they not heard of the national deficit. I think they should come out onto the portico and say something like, "Because of our uncertain economy, we have decided to tighten our belts like you, our fellow Americans, and leave the White House the way it is, even though it is a hovel." Why am I, Sandy Q. Public, unable to redecorate my house because of my budget, and meanwhile, my tax dollars are being spent to do a totally unnecessary job of redecorating the living quarters of the White House? Bastards!!
