new scrapbook store coming to our area!!!

Anthologies....... in Hurst

I put the link to the blog in the title. Another store to check out... starting today they are taking reservations for "studio sessions" (aka crops) for the month of October. Sounds like they have a pretty large space and plan to expand.

Cannot wait to check it out!!

Just Between Friends

Hello all!!

Amy introduced me to this major huge kid to kid consignment event! There is everything for children ages newborn to size 14! Toys, clothing, strollers, car seats, everything! The catch is that you must sign up and tag all of your items ahead of time, only include gently used items, drop off everything on the assigned days and wait for the check! You make 65% off of what you priced it! Every item has a unique barcode number with your consignor number so they know where to cut the check! You can even reduce or donate my items if I wish!

I signed up and have a couple of boxes full of Kylie's clothes. Please come and check out this sale at Will Rogers Exhibit Hall Sept 11-15th... 5 days!! whoo hoo!! http://swfortworth.jbfsale.com/

I personally cannot benefit both ways with this kind of sale anymore but maybe you can! (My kiddo is too big for me to buy anything and I do not run a childcare business anymore) It is too late to sign up for this sale, but wait there is more! There is an Arlington sale (not as big) coming soon October 16 &17 at North Davis Church! http://arlington.jbfsale.com/ If you are interested in selling, please sign up now... the prep is so time consuming!

papermaddam vs. the purple guitar

challenge: making a collage on a guitar
huh?? you ask... in canton several weeks ago i noticed how many ordinary things have now become deco art. hmmmm... how fun!
i have an upcoming birthday, great gift. no pressure. ha
bought a guitar at a thrift store.. PURPLE.
yikes!! oh and i have a complex when it comes to "cruding". sort of a problem when you are attempting a collage. i channeled my inner lesa for inspiration!

whaaa laaa.........
i am thinking that this 13 year old will fall in love with her new wall art. oh... if you come across any guitars at garage sells, thrift stores, or where ever... please let me know. i am making more and have several requests to bling out guitars!!

scrapbook convention


tara, rachel and lc went to the convention thursday. this was lc's first ever convention and she had a blast. we could not keep up with this spring chicken! lol! disappointed that kayla was not out there this year. not too much that was just show stopping but always fun finds and it was all about the bling. colored & traditional pearls, rhinestones.... yum! we had our pic taken at the arlington camera booth. so fun!!
