crafty block.

Since finishing up school, I've had a major crafty block; I just don't feel like crafting. This is how bad it is:

Instead of making a thank you card, which should have been pretty easy, I actually bought one! My sister was beyond shock at this revelation.

Secondly, instead of just sewing a little reusable bag, I actually bought one! Here it is, but it's super cute:



Oh well...I'm just waiting to meet my baby niece now. :)

The winner is...

...Apple from Art and Soul. She does amazing journals and even has some videos of her artwork, so you should check out her blog! :)

I got the winning number via the integer generator on random.org.

284 pieces of fun and giveaway!

During a recent trip to Michael's Craft store, I discovered a lovely bag containing 284 pieces of die-cut cardstock from the Carolyn Gavin scrapbooking line. The colors are fun, the images are cute, and the best part is that the pieces are all double sided. The image is normally duplicated on the backside, but one side is always glittery. :)

Anyway, I thought I might just go crazy with these and a gluestick. :)



Although I know there are tons of Michael's out there and you could probably just go pick them up, I decided to share a handful of these pieces with a lucky someone. Just leave a comment, and I'll select a winner Tuesday, June 16th. :)

I think I'm done...

...so I guess it's time for me to enjoy a little summer break? But something just doesn't feel right. :( Maybe I am still adjusting to the fact that the term is over? I always have issues with the end of school. Always.

Anyway, I tried to enjoy some crafting again, but it's hard to get back into it after such a long break from it. Here's a little watercolor piece I attempted last night:

the end is coming closer...

There's about a week left of school; I'm so tired, the end is near but I am running very low on energy. :(

Anyway, I miss you all so much. I can't wait to get back to crafting and blogging next week!! :) Until then, I leave you with some caramel apple love.

my sisters.

While I was doodling tonight, I ended up with what had a strong resemblance to my older sisters when they were younger...



My second older sister asked me if they really looked that mean. I'm the younger sister...OF COURSE, they looked that mean. haha

Anyway, I'm super stressed right now because there's only a couple more weeks until school ends. I need to get it together! :)

and the winner is...

... Megan Coyle!!!



Thank you all for playing!!! Your ideas were all so fun and cute; I'll definitely try to incorporate as many of them into my sister's baby shower! :) Thank you again!!!
