Well I've been busy

I've managed to finish another mini album. Even though I really wanted to have it done for Christmas I'm just not great at planning out my time. What I think will take only a bit of time always ends up taking me forever. Did I already mention in another post that I can't figure out how other people manage to turn out a mini album in a day? Like I said before.......... I'm highly suspect of how much time it really took.
That being said I have to say that there are so many words that I have written that I now must take back. I have jumped on the seam binding wagon and purchased some. I also now have the Tim Holtz Reindeer die even though I said I wasn't going to do it. I just couldn't help myself.
I'll admit it ......... I'm just a big mush ball when it comes to scrapbook supplies. As my friend Lori says "She who has the most toys WINS!!!!"
Anyway I'm now working on another mini album. Oh and before I forget, I actually remembered to take pictures of this one. Yay me!!




This is not the whole book but just some of the pages. I like the way it turned out but I'm not really a blue person. Its just that Melody ( who I made the book for ) doesn't have girls so why not make something that is a little more geared to boy pictures.

Raise Your Hand If Your Excited About CHA

I've been following the the sneak peaks over at Tim Holtz's Blog and at the Graphic 45 Blog. All I can say is OMG!!! I am going to be sooooooooooooo broke this spring when this stuff hits the shelves. I've already got most of the stuff I've seen put into different projects.
Now that being said I have to say that I thought the same thing about several of the G45 collections already and what ends up happening is I get the papers.......... I fawn over them and then I carefully place them into my hoard cupboard.
I don't know how my friend Lori does it but she just cuts into her papers and uses them. God I envy her!!!
I want to be more like her but I'm afraid that one day I'm going to be on an episode of Hoarders and its going to be all Graphic 45 paper stacks!!!
Thank God Tim Holtz is releasing stuff that I'll use right away instead of just hoarding it. But I am running out of storage space for my sizzix dies. Oh well I'll figure out some place to put it.
