Oh, wherefore art thou...

...MONEY? But shopping, oh how I've MISSED YOU! It's been too long...but I can see that I have made up for it in only a couple of days! Ay-yay-yay...

CHA is such an enabler...but here we go:

*SQUEALS* Do you SEE THOSE?! Those, my dear friends, are NESTABILITIES! Do you know how long I've been wanting these? And now, I'm finally getting them!

After seeing the Spellbinders booth and seeing the demos, I knew they were a must-have-now. I've been holding off on them for so long thinking that I could do what they can do myself, but it's just not the same. I've seen how great they can make any project look. So nice and cleanly embossed lines or pretty little scallops. What took me so long? (Well, I know why it took me so long...but Terri aka terrikrafts from The Board is making it SO easy. I wish I had met her sooner. She is such a doll to deal with and she actually took the trouble to weigh my entire order and then each one separately to see which would be the most economical in shipping! Plus, you just can't beat her prices! I've got her contact information if you're looking for it - don't hesitate to ask, I don't bite! So that's my first order from her and she's getting the new ones in as well, and oh my-my-my, do I need to get a few more jobs! *LOL*

Okay...and then there's:

Oh, I want to go home now and play! But there it is: flock assortment FOR ME! Fuzzy hearts, duckies and flowers, here I COME! I can't WAIT to try this out...it's a miracle I haven't opened the package already, but I'm right in the middle of a complete scraproom overhaul that I would totally lose them if I even tried to take them out of their package now. But like I'd like to believe, all the best things are worth the wait, and it'll definitely be worth it to wait until my scraproom is spic and span and beautiful to start making MORE fun things in it (and probably more mess, but who am I kidding, we all know that...)

So fun new goodies just WAITING to be used and turned into prettiful creations, but for now, I leave you with my scraproom "before" pictures *winces*:

But ask me to find something for you and I'll have it *snaps* just like that! *LOL*

Caution: Overhaul...

...UNDER CONSTRUCTION...

My scraproom that is! So with The Mister having more time to spend around the house, comes many benefits! First, sometimes I go home for lunch and he makes me delicious grilled cheese sandwhiches with crunchy dill pickles on the side (I know, right? What a keeper!), second, he's got WAY more time to get to the things that I've been bugging him about for the longest time.

The most important thing - my scraproom. It used to be our guest bedroom until I decided I didn't like anyone enough to let them sleep over anyway (I'm only JOKING! Kind of...well...those who know me...not really...LOL) so I had The Mister clear off the bed and stand it up against the wall. That was fine...for the moment. Next was because I pretty much took up all the room in our master bedroom closet, The Mister's clothes were in a cabinet in the scraproom....the was fine...for the moment. After this weekend, the matress is completely outta there as well as the cabinet, leaving the room MINE, ALL MINE!

So today, I pretty much dragged The Mister to Costco to get me another working table!

And getting one pretty much sprouted the major overhaul my scraproom is about to undergo!

So here goes...Day 1 of the overhaul:

View from the door - ew, I know right?

There's my new worktable! *waves*

So that's the start of it so far...it is a COMPLETE mess in there right now. I took those pictures before I started moving things around so right now, I'm at the moment where I've taken things off shelves, moved things around, and now it looks worse than when I first started. But it will get better! I can't wait to have it all set up! (Chances are, I'll want to move things around again in a couple weeks, but whatevs!)

The Mister is also painting a cabinet for me in the garage which he will eventually mount to the wall...kind of like the Making Memories Embellishment Centre, but bigger and it was free - so we'll make do with what we've got!

Anywho, I've got to get myself to BED! Waking up early tomorrow to get my Wii Fit on!
