Scrapping again.

That top photo is my scrap space in our upstairs. It's half playroom and half work area for my creative endeavors. I stood back and snapped this photo because it made me realize where my kids get their "love of the cluttered look" from--- me. I blame a lot of the messes around our house on them, but I definitely have to take credit for this chaos. However, if you could zoom in and also if you could get inside my head, you would find there is actually a little bit of a system within this mess. Ask me to find a certain color of pom-pom trim or a pack of buttons and I can lead you right to them. It IS a mess, but it still makes sense to me.

The real point of this post is to say that I scrapped again! I have been away from it- other than to design baby announcements and thank you notes lately and what better way to get back into it than with a box of new products. I was thrilled to win a random blog drawing from Cosmo Cricket last week. Their new product line "Chemistry" showed up at my doorstep and I already scrapped a page which you will be able to see as soon as our SIStv Fashionista Challenge goes live- at the end of this week. Get ready to have your own scrap fun!

Speaking of scrap fun, if you're up for making lots of things for the holidays this year- things like gifts for friends and family members, well then check out the link here- "30 Days to a Handmade Holiday". It's a series of classes all geared toward making your holiday season less stressful and more handmade. It's already a few days underway, but you still have time to jump in and catch up or just start from here on it.

I am excited to try some of the neat projects and I hope to make several gifts myself. My biggest challenge is making things with one hand while I've got Crew in the other. =)
