some eyecandy from the artroom for inspiration!! yumm!!

i'll admit.....

so i am obsessed! ok? i'll admit. 5 days i obsessed over this lilac ribbon i picked up on a craft shopping spree. i had only purchased 5 yards. i got home and made the card with it and loved the color! so, i obsessed about it until i finally talked myself into driving, the 45 minutes it takes to get to the bigger town with craft stores, to get more! well, i get there and i can't find it! OMG! i panicked. i searched for 10 minutes then, lo n' behold, i found it buried under other spools, in with the navy blues! so i found that, and more as you can see, i am an addict. the poor store clerk, that had to measure and cut the ribbon for me, asked me if it was for a wedding? she thought she remembered me from the other day. i said oh, no. she asked well, then what was i going to do with it? i said, well, um, i just.....i just like it, i collect ribbon! lol! i ended up purchasing the whole pile of ribbons. now i will get busy and make the cards for etsy!

New stuff....

Trying to get back into the art room!

The Trifle!!

I forgot to address "The Trifle"!! I made a chocolate peppermint trifle for Christmas dessert. It was Martha's recipe and easy but many steps! It called for chocolate liqueur which I had to go buy. They recommended Godiva but gee whiz, $30 a bottle? The big guy was with, so I had to buy another brand at $10 a bottle. I am sure it wasn't as good BUT no matter I didn't use much anyway. The trifle was delicious but very very rich. And it looked so pretty!!

I also loaded up a picture of Sophie on Cami's scrapping table at Christmas time. Cam was working on a very awesome scrapbook for Jas for Christmas and Soph had to be in on the action!! She is the "Sophie Jekyl Sophie Hyde" kitty....multiple personalities....

And here is the "Snowman thank you" card I made Looney's Mom for sending her delicious cookies to the tea party!! Also, I finished Laveda's birthday card and it turned out real cute! The Queen Bird!!
