Here is my post for the Basically Bare Blog :)
Hi everyone Sandy here. Thanks for taking a look at my first post here on the Basically Bare Blog. For this post I created this cute 6x12 canvas with my adorable grandson on it. Isn't he just the cutest little thing?
In October, Basically Bare did a swap with Authentique Paper and I was able to use their Thrilling Sandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07036669836906715109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666118240883983364.post-45360532937009484552013-10-16T19:43:00.000-04:002013-10-16T19:43:24.648-04:00Doing the happy dance!!!I can't believe it....Yesterday I was aggravated because I had taken my sewing machine apart to clean it as I have been doing some major sewing getting ready for craft shows that I am doing in November. Well I couldn't get the presser plate (I guess that is what it is called) back on my sewing machine, and of course hubby was at work so I was out of luck on sewing.

It is hosted by Heavenly Scrapbooking Retreats and it is really wonderful and we have so much fun. So, this retreat they did something a little different. They had the BoBunny Monthly Challenge kits for those of us who wanted to buy one. On Saturday night of the retreat you had Sandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07036669836906715109noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666118240883983364.post-1134536625783472562013-07-04T14:48:00.001-04:002013-07-04T14:48:36.284-04:00My first canvas!!!!
Well the other day I decided that I was going to make my first canvas. Why? Well Jen Starr came to our scrapbook store, Almost Heaven Scrapbooking and taught classes with Art Anthology products and Viva Decor products. Let's just say that I was instantly hooked on them and love them so much!!!!
So when my son came back from firefighter camp last week, there were Sandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07036669836906715109noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666118240883983364.post-39799602692799192752013-05-12T14:28:00.000-04:002013-05-12T14:28:06.248-04:00A little bit of altering...I have been doing a lot of altering lately! I will go through the house and see something and say to myself, "oh I could do something with that"! That is exactly what I did with this project.
Do you have one these or have seen them? This a bill organizer. I found it at a flea market for $2 or $3 dollars. It was just sitting in my kitchen not being used.

I can't believe how long it has been since I have made a blog post. I guess I just needed a hiatus and boy did I take a long one. I am finally scrapbooking again and had forgotten what it meant to me to be able to create art. But there has been so much going on with life that I just couldn't create. But I am happy to say officially that I am back and I hope to continue Sandyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07036669836906715109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8666118240883983364.post-88521295758109840642012-03-24T10:24:00.001-04:002012-03-24T16:43:52.543-04:00It's Blog Hop Time!!!WELCOME!

I am sitting here with one of my sons watching tv, so I thought I would do some posting on the ole blog.
This first layout is of my autistic son Joey. We were at Virginia Beach on Memorial Day and this was a picture that I was able to catch while we were waiting on some food. It is very hard to get a picture of him.

And I dislike that, well with growing up in southeast Texas, I hate the heat and love the snow ;o) I keep trying to talk hubby into moving out west, like Colorado or Wyoming, but it hasn't happened yet.

But I’m not convinced that that’s true.
So I’ll tell you my faults and shortcomings,
And I’ll leave the decision to you.
That scrapbooking thing has got me for sure;

I have been creating and I love it. But I am not going to post a new layout. I have been so behind on posting layouts that I need to get caught up with the old ones ;o)

But do we actually keep up with them? I for one am guilty of making them and then not following through, or only doing them for a couple of weeks. I have made only resolution for this year (yeah, right), well one that I am seriously going to try and keep up with that is.

I forgot how much I love it and how therapeutic it can be. I so wish I would not have sold all of my stuff when I quit earlier in the year, but one good thing did come out of it....I remodeled my whole kitchen, including appliances, lol.
