Oh my goodness! First off thank you to everyone who came by yesterday and snatched the Cabana kit and lil trinkies! Um..my server went bazerrrko and so did my cart with all that traffic! LOL Um sorry! I left the sales up til early this am so hopefully you were all able to grab them! :) And THANK YOU! Ya'll who scrap with that Cabana kit, please show me! I rarely have time these days to cruise galleries..I know..pathetic..and I sooo wanna see your pages...So please email me and show me! :) TY TY!
Okay lots to jab about here so bear with me. If I go off on other things...well that's just me...and lack of sleep from playing all weekend and having fun! LOL I almost slept through a sermon this am and well that would not have gone over well! LOL Buuuuuttt...totally have tons to talk about so here we go!
First off, here's the bloggie pic of the day! LOL MY sweet twin always says, while reading other people's bloggies, you just gotta look at something! LOL So here's something to look at...and it's pretty! LOL I used some of my stuff, some of Jen W's awesome goodies, frames by Nancy of course and alpha by Miss Gina Wina herself! LOL
Okay so bear with me while I talk some baloney to you all! It's good baloney..don't fret! LOL
First off....today we shopped a little! My first pair of RocketDog shoes! OMG Love them! Sooo comfy, totally hip and sooo comfy with no socks! LOVE THAT! Chris got a pair too..in the dude's section! Aren't these just cute or what!!!
Second...I loove coffee! Loove Starbucks! Little did I know that moving to a country town, there'd be cowboys on all the local cafe's cups! LOL For real! Isn't he one handsome cowboy? LOL Looove the small town coffee shops here! They rock and omg their sugar free berry muffins are my ultimate favorite!
Third...Friday morning, the girls came over to my shabby casa! What fun! The fabric crazy friend of mine brought all these patterns of HB fabric! OMG! I was drooling over them all cuz they are just soo cute! She also brought over these INCREDIBLE sew-free quilt projects! Perfect for dipping my toes back into sewing! Remember...the past four years I put sewing on hold...I know I have forgotten stuff! LOL
Soooo, Fridays are our Creative Queen time...we are a group of really close friends and have yet to come up with a name! We are thinking we need tshirts or hats or something! Anyways, Fridays are the days we play...and our kids play too! And we do a lunch at whoever's house we are at! Sooooo this past friday, the fabric crazy girl brought these over to play with! OMG! Making a quilt block....and with HB fabric..AND no Sewing! My heart skipped several beats to even dream I could make something cute without sewing it! This fabulous company is where the quilting blocks came from! And my oh my....these were fun! I loved the pinwheel one the best! You basically stencil your pattern, score with a ruler and start tucking in your fabric pieces! I probably could have done this blindfolded..but seriously..is this just cuute or what! All HB freshcut fabric! And it's sooo going in Chayce's room on her wall! I might have to do one again too!
So seriously...to all of you who are crafty..and I'm assuming most since digital scrapbooking is such a sweet crafty hobby...get several of your favorite girls together, get some of these or any project and just sit and enjoy each other. It's amazing how when you get together with sweet girlfriends, your kids enjoying their kids, how incredibly relaxing it is..how much more fun to connect with them while your kids are having a blast. Really really fun! I know I am soooo teaching them how to digital scrapbook! I know they wanna know..even though it can be so confusing to learn..but hey that's what friends are for!
So hopefully that didn't bore you all! Really...totally excited to be creative with new ideas and projects! Wishing you a wonderful day!

LOVE that "something cute to LOOK at" on your lil bloggie today!! I might have to copy for a LO....
Anyways...SO funny that you talked about finding time to get together with your girlfriends and just..BE CREATIVE! I was just talking to my BF about this...it just sooo inspires and lifts us up in this sometimes dreary world. You end up leaving, feeling...refreshed, re-energized, and ready to conquer anything!
LOVE that!
(Definitely! you need a name AND some Pink Lady tees for your lil group!)

AHH!! I need your help! I don't know how else to contact you. In my craziness on Saturday I did all of my shopping and decided to come back at a more calm time to download my goodies from each store. I don't know how to get my goodies from your store...you can understand that right? Help! BTW...looooove the new stuff! ANy your new shoes, I have been wanting a pair of Rocket Dogs!

Where to begin?! LOL I am all for something pretty to look at in a post. Gotta love that and this 'something' is just too fun for words. That would've taken me 3 hours just to pull together. And rocket dogs are my FAVORITE kind of shoes. I have 3 pair and could use 3 more (including some just like the ones you got - love em!). Your Creative Queen days sound like a riot. I have one friend that I get together and sew purses with and she did just buy that laptop I'd been borrowing so I think she's interested in learning the digi-scrapping too. Fun stuff. :) Awesome quilt square too. I will have to check those out! :) Have a great Tuesday sweetie!!

How about The Shabby Playground? Or The Crafty Playground? I always think of being creative as "playing", and you play in The Playground! Instead of naming yourselves, name the place. Even if it moves from house to house!

Hi There!!! This is my first time contacting you...although I have been enjoying your blog & items for a while. I too am a vintage junkie and have been since I was a little girl. My grandma had a cottage in Malibu and was the ULTIMATE in granny chic not to mention a beach comber for over 40 years!!! Anyway...not sure why I am sharing...just feel like I already kind of know you:) Soooooo...anyway...thinking about your craft group. I was inspired by a vintage tablecloth I found last weekend at the Ventura Swap Meet (for $3.00 by the way.) Do you know those signature quilts that a close group of women used to make for friends who were moving away??? Well, I found the SWEETEST square table cloth with names like Mabel, Margarite, Gertie, Emma, embroidered all over it. All such wonderful & old fashion names! Just thinking that somehow you could incorporate this sweet tradition & sentiment into a group name...like the "signature girls"...or "signature chic"...or something like that. You could get t-shirts & each embroider your names on eachother's shirts...adding to them as new friends are added. OK...so that is my idea...for what it is worth. Happy Mother's Day!!! Kristin

I think Creative Queens is an excellent name, in itself. But how about Mischevious Moms?
Thanks for everything!
