June Studio AE and a Giveaway
Hey Everybody. I'm popping in to share another card I made with the current June Studio AE stamp set before we hop in the vehicle and head out on a family vacation. My card is a perfect fit for getting out of the city and enjoying life right now! That's what I plan on doing with a w...
I am a paper crafts blogger but I'm afraid that my 4+ years of Typepad have been pretty basic. I haven't gone beyond the basic format with the look and feel of my blog. What I am really excited about is that since the end of January I am on a journey to change my health. I've changed the way I'm eating and I've lost 20lbs. I can't tell you how much better I feel. I even just bought a mini rebounder to start getting active. Your book Sugar Shock sounds like something I very much need to look into. Thank you for that and for the chance to win 1 free year of blogging. That might even motivate me to learn a few computer savvy things!

It's About Time I Post Some - Thrifty Finds!
It's about time I blog about some of my thrifty finds to show you. I haven't been sharing my finds lately (I'm lazy) but, believe me, it doesn't mean I'm not hitting the thrifts stores. If you saw my basement and garage, which is my dumping grounds, you would know I'm at the thrift stores wa...
I know....such a deal. The lady at the thrift store counter looked like she knew it was probably priced too low so I had to play it all cool like it wasn't a big deal. Ha.

Loonie Stampers Challenge
ETA: OK...let's try this again. I "think" I got it to work so I can get the photos of my card posted. I ended up taking new photos, editing them and posting those. Some how the other photos were "tiff"s rather than jpeg. Wish I could say I knew how that happened but I don't even kno...

No, I dont think he had a clue really. He didnt have much to say and what he did made me think he wasnt too up on the Jadeite world. Or maybe he was just smart enough to not say anything! Lol. I was looking at pics on my phone while I was at the sale and I didnt see the differences until I got home and really researched it in my book and online Basically I kinda knew they werent the real deal but I was hoping they were at least reproductions from original molds and didnt know about the existence of the fakes coming out of China. eBay has some great articles about this stuff. Live and learn. But it was still fun. Ive spent more on worse. Ha.
