Just added some kits

I added some kits to my kit blog. You can expect to see more. I'm cleaning out some of my stash.

I have a terrible sunburn from my yard sale, but it was worth it! I got rid of so much stuff and made some money for my vacation, too!

I also scrapped last night if you can believe it!

It's hubby's birthday!

And he's super cranky! LOL. I guess as we get a little older we no longer anticipate our birthdays with joy! :)

Happy Birthday, Brian!!!!







Also, check out the Rusty Pickle Amazing Race if you want to see some awesome scrap action. They post a clue, and the racers have to figure out where to go, then when they get there they have a scrappy challenge to finish by the next day! I have a couple of friends in the race, so cheer them on with me! Go Beth R. and Julie W.!!!!!!!

www.rustypickle.typepad.com is the blog address to follow the race along!

Guess who is back??????

I don't know how many people still check here, and I have to apologize to everyone for dropping off the face of the planet, but school is just sometimes overwhelming when added on top of three kids, three cats, a zillion fish, a dog, and of course, trying to remain married! LOL.

Here's my latest layout, the first I've done in AGES.

Here are some of my projects from my art class, 2D Design.

I am also finishing up my next class that I'm teaching at Treasured Scrapbooking. Leslie, the store owner is a complete SAINT for being so patient with me!!!

Alexander graduated from preschool, he starts Kinder in the fall. Alora will be going to preschool in December when it starts. Rhiannon is hitting the third grade. She stole the show at her ballet recital, she's just so wonderful. She is also a yellow belt with black stripe in Aikido. Alexander has a white with black stripe. Brian passed his first test and is now 5th Kyu. Alora is learning some moves at home and has a pretty fierce little shiko (I probably spelled that wrong, sorry!). Alexander cut off all her hair a few weeks ago. I think I might finally be recovering from that.

I ended my first year back at school with another 4.0. My total GPA at OSU is 3.94, I have a 4.0 at LBCC, and my transfer is like a 3.12 or something. I don't have the brain power to pull that all into an overall, though. LOL. I also won a scholarship from the Art Department at OSU, which was so gratifying and amazing. I'm really looking forward to this next year, which is the intro to Graphic Design class, along with the portfolio and application process to actually be accepted into the program.

Brian and I are headed to Vegas for our seventh wedding anniversary in a couple weeks. I figure, seventh anniversary on the seventh day of the seventh month- triple 7s says VEGAS BABY!

I'm going to go caffeinate myself now! I hope you are having a wonderful Monday, and you can expect some heavy blogging from me over the summer!

Remember me?

I'm still alive! I'm just swamped with school.

I do want to show a few things off. :)

First of all, I got a 4.0 last term, so my absences here have at least been fruitful other areas of my life.

The class kit at Treasured Scrapbooking ROCKS this month, here is what I did with it:

Here is one my projects for my Illustrator class. I had a lot of fun with this, but sheesh, I put at least 10-15 hours into it.

I was officially accepted into the Department of Art at OSU! So now I need to buckle down and get the core curriculum classes taken care of so I can apply for the Graphic Design program next fall! :)

Sorry I've been gone, and thanks to those of you who still checked in on me! :)

I am also taking a photography class this term, but it's film photography, so I need to get my scanner hooked back up so I can share.

Selling some kits!

I started a new blog to sell some of my overflow!

Sheesh burgers!

So much for being a better blogger. SOMEDAY I will be! :)

I have some excited news to share today! I was selected as one of the new Design Team Members at Dreamgirls!!! If you haven't before checked out this site, you really should, it's an awesome challenge blog! www.dreamgirls.typepad.com The new challenge is up today, and starting with the next challenge you will get to see my work on there too! How exciting!!!

I also got my class kit for TS in the mail over the weekend, and you are all going to LOVE it! It's a perpetual calendar kit, and has some yummy supplies, like wide chocolate brown satin ribbon, Kaiser Craft rhinestones and paint, Scenic Route chipboard, embroidery floss, and printable sheets designed by ME! :) Check it out at TS on Decmeber 5th to order, or you can PM Leslie on the boards to see about preordering it.

I have to go get ready for class now, it's my last week of the term and things are CRAZY busy, so wish me luck in staying caught up!

Don't miss out on the fun at Bad Girls!

They are having an awesome Christmas workshop/crop/party!

A Quick Survey- please respond!!

I am considering putting together some kits to sell on here. They would be some newer, some older products that I just don't have room for anymore. Good stuff, though! :) Some vintage pieces also, maybe. I am overloaded these days, and I'm trying to be better about it.
The kits would run around $15-$40 depending on the contents, I would share a content list and photos.

Let me know if you would be interested! Either leave a comment, or email me directly at flutterinby@peak.org to let me know!

ALSO, I've been toying with the idea of making some embellishments to sell on Etsy, lemme know what you think about that also!
