Manic Monday!



I had a SUPER busy weekend and lots to show for it!
Friday night was fairly low key but had lots of work to do in the
E-cave!
I have been working like crazy on my Envelope mini-album and have come
to the conclusion
 (with help from a few threads over at Two Peas)
that the style or "theme" of this mini-album
is a cross between Steampunk and my personal vintagey flavor.
I am SUPER excited with how its coming along and can not wait to share it with you guys!
It has been an immense amount of work however and I am about half way through
so it will be a few more days before the finished product is
up for you all to look at but I may squeeze in a little sneaky peak :)

Saturday I spent the day hanging around town grabbing lunch, and getting an awesome package
from my dearest friend containing my favorite childhood Drakes snack
Funny Bones... They don't sell them in Florida and I was SO happy when I opened the package!!!
Saturday night was the Football draft and the hubby dragged
me along although I wanted so badly to work on my mini-book!

Sunday was yet again another rainy day (why is this place called the Sunshine State again?)
 so with not much else to do we went out grabbed lunch and poked around a few stores. I was absolutely delighted to find that one of my all time favorite beverages at Starbucks has returned!!! 
The pumpkin spice latte....
*insert sound of bliss here* 
If you have never had one I strongly recommend you change that pronto!

Somehow my husband managed to get me into Best Buy where (long story short)
 after 2 years of denying him the satisfaction of purchasing an overly large 50" plasma flat screen TV
I GAVE IN!!!
( I still don't think I fully know what I have gotten myself into here )
How could you deny this face !?


Oh man its a biggen!!!


Any how!

at my work space

I cant wait to get it done so I can
share it with you all!!!

I have still been applying for DTs like a mad woman!

I hope you are all having a very happy Manic Monday :)

A lazy sort of Thursday... I am almost at 50 followers, and you know what that means!

I am sort of lazing about today.
Worked all night last night at a retail store so I'm pretty pooped
and its round two tonight there!

I have been working in the E-cave on and off over the past couple of days on a few things for me.
I am just in love with the way that my envelope mini-book is coming along!!!
I will be posting lots of pictures once I am finished with it of course!


I just picked up a book this past weekend called
 This Is all: The Pillow Book of Cordellia Kenn
Its been FANTASTIC so far! Super interesting and a unique perspective into the teen aged girls psyche...skeptical at first but it was on sale so I threw caution to the wind and decided to go for it...
 good decision!
 


I am almost at 50 followers!!!
And you all know what that means
don't you...
Don't you !?

 A GIVEAWAY!!!
 
So if you haven't already, be sure to tell all of your scrappy friends about my blog
and as soon as I hit 50 all those goodies I showed you
will be up for grabs!

Manic Monday!






Hello all!
I had a wonderfully relaxing weekend with the Hubby doing a lot of nothing... just relaxing and being content. Its always nice!

We went to Hobby Lobby yet again, and saw lots of wonderful things per usual!
They have been getting in loads of new Tim Holtz things and all of their paper packs
are super cheap (BOGO FREE!)

On top of all the scrappy goodness they also have some of their Halloween stuff out!!!
I know I have said this before but it is my ABSOLUTE favorite time of the year.

I am especially excited because for the first time in over three years I will be in New England for Autumn !!!
We will be home for quite a while visiting family for the first time since out wedding in June of 2009.
Oh how I have missed you New Hampshire and Massachusetts<3

In honor of this momentous event here are a few links, photos and the such.






My mini book from last year:


















Hope you enjoyed and
Happy Manic Monday!
