Before I start though, I wanted to give Steph a shout out ... HANG IN GIRL and I LUVS YA! XOOX
Here we go!
I have found a new "I WANNA DO THIS"! I want to do this more than any scrapping cruise, or workshop .. or whatever else scrappy ... It's the Brave Girl Camp by Melody Ross. Just with the place I am in my life .. this would be so healing, creative and such a deep experience! No drawn line, free, inspiring, yummy food, and creating! Talk about feeding the soul! :) Hopefully one day I can go to this .. and my girl Heather made mention that if I quit smoking I could put my ciggy money in a jar and save ... So that kind of gives me some motivation too ... LOL We'll see! WINK!
So I NEVER buy stamps .. cuz I find then so expensive for something that I may use once .. I am also not a stamper ... truth be told .. I don't really know a lot about stamping and inks and all that jazz! I never really listened and tried to understand stamping .. it never "spoke" to me really! Not so long ago, I took a tag class at my LSS The Scrapbox and indulged in the likes of Tim Holtz stamps . They were a tad pricey so I never invested. Then I found an ebay auction (shocking I know) and won a few packs of them at next to nothing! I was very pleased! To top it off ... I was referred to a particular set by my friend Dorrie ... I literally GASPED when I saw them!
BRAVE GIRLI indulged, broke down and bought them ....The project I have in mind ... Oh HURRY STAMPS! LOL
I have been bitten by the cooking bug a little .. and have found so many yummy things to make .. here are some of the recipies!
Picante Chicken Rice Burritos
Cheddar Burgers and Crispy Oven Fries
Easy Cheesy Frittata (I already made this .. OH MY .. if you love basil and tomatos .. you will love this)
Sugar Topped Molasses Spice Cookies (this recipe is hosted on an amazing blog called Good Eats ' n Sweet TreatsI am loving the idea of LIVE WITH PRIMA! This project is my fave ... Oh I wish I could do it!
I asked John to get me a subscription to Somerset Studio for Mother's Day and he said YES! WOOT WOOT! LOL
The TUDORS .. OH MY ... I am hooked! HOOKED! If you are a history buff (even if you aren't) do yourself a favour and indulge in King Henry VIII life and his six wives! What a story! I am now reading all kinds of fiction and non-fiction about this era .. here are some books I bought recently!
