The list...

...is all up in the air. Honestly, I have NO idea what I'm waiting for anymore. I don't even remember what I've ordered anymore, come to think about it. The last few months since I've started the BeadPops have been rushing by so fast! The only things I've been buying lately are always what I need for the beads - not that I'm complaining of course, I am having SO much fun with them!

Plus, I definitely needed to cut back on the spending for a bit...with The Mister switching jobs, I had to take it easy or else I'd be trying to lose weight so I can strip just to cover my expenses. HAHAHAHA!

Anywho...I know for SURE that I'm waiting for a FABULOUS package from my most FAVOURITEST Marti over at http://www.pezadoodle.com/. She's got some AWESOME things coming up reeeeal soon (omg, I SO suck at keeping secrets, but that's ALL you're getting from me)!!! So keep checking back on her blog for any other little tid-bits of information...there's muchos fun to be had, lemme tell ya, you'll be kicking yourself later if you miss out! I wonder if I'm allowed to mention that aside from the oh-so-cute Studio G stamps, she'll also be widening her range of RANGER products. Oooooh....

I keep rushing home to check if it's here yet, but HOPEFULLY today is the DAY! Or maybe the powers that be are delaying the delivery until I get my scraproom cleaned. I've been making a little headway with the tidying up. At least this morning I could SEE that a DESK does in fact exist under the alarming pile of stuff I had. And the floor is cleared off too. I could see that The Mister was getting reeeeally close to going over the edge from stepping on tiny little beads! So I vaccuumed up all the sad little babies that didn't make it over to Etsy.

Oh YES! And a new release for me in my Etsy shop! Petals 'n' Pops was officially released and sent out to some customers TODAY! I hope they like them as much as I do. I get all googly-eyed every time I look at them!

Which also reminds me that I'm due to get an order in from Café Prima for my order of PRIMAS! Oooooh, yummalicious goodness coming up!

Much more projects still to come - if I ever get a moment to sit down and think about them! Happy creating everyone!

Things are a-brewing...

...I can't believe how fast the days are flying by! It still feels like it was just yesterday that I was shopping like crazy after I had just discovered The Board. Well, I'm still shopping like crazy, but things they are a-happening!

I know I haven't posted very much pictures and things, but as SOON as my BIRTHDAY GIRL, Marti, gets her birthday present, I can start talking more about all the new things I've "discovered" and all the new plans I've got!

The Sugar & Scraps BeadPops line is doing well. I still get SUCH a THRILL every time I check my E-Mail and see that there's an order. I sit there giggling before I get up to put the order together. Haven't hung out in the lab for too long coming up with new things. Right now I'm just working on inventory and making sure I have packages of everything that seems quite popular. Definitely been working on a system to get them done faster.

I have so much other things I want to talk about but a little waiting never hurt anybody!

Well, it's not my blog if I didn't say I did a little SHOPPING!

The Mister and I spent a much needed full day together and it was so nice to roam around hand-in-hand and just be together. And it was EVEN better that we did all that at IKEA. Oh YEAH BABY!

So at this time, I can't afford the EXPEDIT bookcases just yet (I am SO coveting!) but I picked up these SUPER cute jars - 4 for $3.99 and also this SUPER COOL magnetic bar that I can put metal tins on. OMG, I'm SO wishing I didn't leave my USB cable at work because I am completely BESIDE myself with how fabulous it looks. I was at M's today and found some BE-YOOOO-TIFUL Primas and the large flowers fit PERFECTLY in the tin and I divided the medium-sized Primas in the other two tins. Looks SO good.

I also got a long bar (kind of looks like a towel holder) and these 'S' shaped hooks and these porcelain (?) buckets to hang. I can't even begin to describe it right, so I'll just have to wait until they're up and I can take pictures. Just GREAT things! I spent about...$40. The other $10 went towards the $1 hotdogs, cinnamon buns and icecream! I had The Mister with me so of course there were a lot of $1 hotdogs. IKEA is the BEST!

Alright, I've got to peek into my scraproom to see if I want to organize the huge mound of mess that is now hiding my desk. I can't wait until The Mister hangs all my new purchases!

One last thing before I skidaddle:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARTI!!!
