It's about Time...... LOL

This is the clock that has replaced the "warped" Heidi Swapp clock that I had made a few months ago. The new clock was made using a Creative Imagination clock, with Fancy Pants paper & rub ons, and the numbers are from American Craft. I also have a large clothes pin to match, but forgot to take a photo of that. oops

Here's the labels for my storage boxes.

Here I just took some Queen & Co. felt and adhered it to the MM desktop organizer. I think I have a little glue collection, and to think I have another desktop organizer next to this one, with more glue stored in it. Don't ask about the other glue/adhesive storage I have. It might make for a good post someday.

Finally, these are the Ian Serving tray for the storage cubes. They are just waiting to be painted and have some pattern paper added to them.

Product Review Time
The Making Memories desktop carousel. I cannot rave enough about this item, it just arrived in my scrap room last night, and OMG! I love it!! You know I love my MM wall units, because they have really help organize some of my products, and of course because they just look good on my walls. LOL Well this carousel is going to be so handy next to my work area. It is so well made. I really don't think photo's do this item justice. The carousel can really hold a lot tools & items. Oh it's just going to look good in my scrap room! Seriously I am going to give this item an A+ - Making Memories did a fabulous job on designing this one!

Three Little Birds

No point in the title of this post, it's just a title to a Bob Marley song I like. You might hear it on my music that plays on here. I just thought it would serve well for a title to today's post.
Here is my card for week 4 Deck of Me challenge. The thing I like best on this one, is the pattern paper. This is paper from Fancy Pants, it's one of my favorite companies to work with, but I don't use a lot of embellishments when I use their paper. I don't want to cover the pretty design. I do this with Basic Grey paper, the paper can stand on it's own, and doesn't need to be overworked. I have a homemade album sitting somewhat done on my table, and it is done with Basic Grey. Now if I just had some wax thread on hand, so I could bind this book, it's one of those items that I keep forgetting to pick up.

Last week Michael's had a sale on their storage cubes, and at 50% off I just couldn't pass it up, and it was exactly what my bare wall in my scrap room needed. So I bought 8 cube, spent yesterday morning putting them all together (yes I did it all by myself) and now my bare wall looks like this (picture on right). Aren't they pretty! I'm sure I will have it filled in no time, but it's going to be so handy having these units for storage.

Oops.....I did it again!

I had to go back out again yesterday shopping to go buy another Making Memories embellishment center. Since Michaels isn't that close to me, I thought I better call the store to see if they actually had any of these left, and I'm so glad I did. The first store I called was sold out, so I called the second one, and they still had them left. So I hurried and threw some clothes on and out the door I went. When I got there I still had time to used the first coupon, so I got some more of the jars for the shelves with that coupon, and then I went and bought the second embellishment center. After my purchases, I hurried back home and put Don to work getting these units up on my room wall. First he had to take down the Pottery Barn shelf I had up there, and move that one to a different wall, then he installed these ones. I really likes these MM ones, they look so nice on the wall. But I do have to tell you the pictured I posted of it, isn't correct to the ones on my wall, it looks like that, but the one on my wall are actually bigger then that one in the picture, there is actually 2 rows for ribbon, and the shelf is wider, and holds 4 lg jars across, not 3 like in the picture. I wonder if that one in the picture is a different model of this unit? Or they had redesign this item and made them bigger. I guess only MM can answer that question. All I know is I like the ones on my wall, but I do need to get more of the jars, I used up the ones I had, and I still have more room to add more things. Oh one more good find. I finally found the pens to go with the Cricut. I am going to have to test those out soon.
On a different note, last night I missed my 25th class reunion. I did have good intention to attend this one, and haven't missed any of the previous ones, but for some reason I just didn't have the energy to attend this one. I figure there will be another one in 5 yrs, and I'll plan on attending that one. I'm sure I missed a good time, this is usually a fun event, and I enjoy seeing all my former classmates, and catching up with all of them. I guess I will just have more to chat about in 5 yrs. So happy 25th to the class of 1982!
Special shout out to Dawn! Way to get that challenge done with those rubber stamps, the card looks fabulous. I may get this done today, but don't hold your breath, while waiting for me. LOL Another shout out to a special friend and their special package, you know who you are, and you know I adore you! Hugs sent your way!
