Oh yeah... and IF anyone was actually following me - I passed the accredation exam at work (many people failed!!) and I got accepted to grad school (Not sure if I'm actually going to go!)

Since u been gone...

Well, once again my posting content has lapsed...
due less in part to my bad posting habits, and more in part to the fact that I have NO TIME to craft! (very very sad... usually this means I am completely stressed out in my life!) Crafting is my creative outlet and stress reliever. Oh well... that being said, I probably will not have time to craft/post my projects for the next couple of months. In the next 2 months I will be attending 3 weddings, 2 showers, 2 engagement parties and 2 bachelorette parties as well as applying to grad schools (I swear I'm a glutton for punishment) and passing an accreditation exam at work!! Oh yeah... and getting married myself!!!!

In the meantime, feel free to follow my everyday craft musings on twitter...

Just because I don't have the time to craft doesn't mean I don't find crafty stuff in my every day life that I want to share!! My brain runs on crafts 24/7....

Get Well Soon, Again

Here is another get well soon card I made a few months back for my Uncle who had a knee replacement!

"Get Well Wishes" - Stampin Up "Fast & Fun Notes"

Before the wedding... comes the showers!

I made this card for a friend's wedding shower!


Unfortunately, the card didn't actually make it to the shower - (loooooong story)!
But hey - its the thought that counts, right???

Life has gotten in the way...

Once again, i have let months pass me by without sharing my crafting goodies with you all!

First it was the Holidays:

Then in January I took a break from crafting to cross some life goals off of my list:

Since then I have let wedding madness get the best of me!
The upside is that I have tons of wedding related crafting to share with the world!
I will be back soon to share all of my projects that I have created in the past few months!

The Cuttlebug has arrived!

She is here .... and she is so cute and green! Anyway, I am totally in luuurve with my new cuttlebug.

Here's a picture of the first card I made using my cuttlebug to emboss:

Self Control

So... apparently I have no self control. Remember those awesome crafty tools I was LUSTING over in my last post?? (ok ok, I know my last post was a WHILE ago.. but I digress) Well... since then, I bought myself a CUTTLEBUG!! woo hoo!! It is awesome. Not too big either, perfect size for my manhattan apartment. Now I'm just obsessed with collecting all of the Nestabilities - seriously they are the most useful die-cuts. I will do a post on them soon!

Oh but that's not all... StampinMOM bought the Cricut. Oh yes she did! It was a huge investment - but so far, SO COOL!! I will take pictures at Thanksgiving, but she made little favor boxes for everyone at the table. So far, I have only used it for my escort cards as part of my "wedding crafts" I will be sure to post pics once they're done!

Now that the Save-The-Dates are out the door... I will be posting pics soon!
