I've been really bad lately at updating this thing. I think winter and the short days are getting me out of my crafting habit. I was hoping to spend a bunch of time over the holidays making stuff, but I don't think I get in there once.<br /><br />I just mounted some new sets I got in my last order, so hopefully those will inspire me to do something this week. I also just put in an order for some of the items that will be in the new catalog (it'll be out January 19th), and I can't wait to get those. I've also got my <a href="http://www.stampinup.com/ca/enc/12365.asp">Love You Much </a>kit sitting in my craft room just waiting for me. Hopefully I will use it soon!<br /><br />Anyway, Happy 2009 to Everyone!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14828407505260252917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434514559147521846.post-16514450255731724062008-12-19T19:21:00.004-05:002008-12-19T19:26:36.370-05:00On Your Birthday...<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mge8o_d28nE/SUw7U-HqdBI/AAAAAAAAANI/EUMth5L3GKk/s1600-h/IMG_3563.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281661694457312274" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 300px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mge8o_d28nE/SUw7U-HqdBI/AAAAAAAAANI/EUMth5L3GKk/s400/IMG_3563.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>So, it's almost Christmas, and I should be posting Christmassy things, but here's a card I made last weekend for a friend's birthday.</div><br /><p>I picked up those screw head brads somewhere, and I really like them on this card.</p><p>I'll try to be back sometime this weekend to post something else I've done, but if not, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!</p>Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14828407505260252917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434514559147521846.post-41961895268353335742008-12-17T21:10:00.005-05:002008-12-17T21:24:15.693-05:00Wow, Time Flies...Well, I've been pretty bad at this blogging thing lately.

I'm not even sure why. I've done a bunch of cards and post-it holders, and I've even taken pictures of them. For some reason though, I haven't managed to post them :( I suppose I could blame the upcoming holidays, or the weather, or a million other things. I'll try really hard to get my act together tomorrow and post something.<br /><br />G'night!Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14828407505260252917noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434514559147521846.post-78630638195410983132008-11-26T22:22:00.004-05:002008-11-26T22:27:50.399-05:00Sew Glad We're Friends<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mge8o_d28nE/SS4Ssu9BQCI/AAAAAAAAAMg/6wAMxqPXRAg/s1600-h/IMG_3534.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273172773424939042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mge8o_d28nE/SS4Ssu9BQCI/AAAAAAAAAMg/6wAMxqPXRAg/s400/IMG_3534.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I loved Puns From The Past the minute I saw it.

I think the weather is throwing me off. Winter is definitely started/here, and I just feel really lazy. I have a bunch of cards I need to cut for next weekend too, so probably that isn't helping. If I go in my craft room and be crafty, I'll feel like I'm slacking on my cutting obligations :P This weekend won't be much help, I have a birthday party to go to on Saturday, and then Sunday we have tickets to the GREY CUP! Whoo! Go Als!!! Hmm, I just realized I need to make a card for the birthday party. Yay, something to do! :)Emilyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14828407505260252917noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434514559147521846.post-13494631858172469792008-11-15T11:45:00.003-05:002008-11-15T11:49:52.011-05:00Christmas Card Workshop - Card #7Ooops!
