Yard Sales

Is there really anything better than a yard sale? Well I have found the BEST kind for me - scrapbooking yardsale! My local store Scrapbook Knook is having a scrapbooking yardsale. I took in a bunch of my leftover stuff on Monday and I've already sold $30.00 worth of stuff! I am so excited about all the new I'll be able to get with all of my store credit.

I won't mention that I've spent about the same amount buying other people's stuff off of the yardsale, but one man's junk is another man's treasure, that's how I'm looking at it.

lsdopey

Where did lsdopey come from?

ls - that's L, not I. ls is my initials

dopey - from Snow White & the 7 Dwarfs. When our youth group went to Disney World we all picked our character name - I'm pretty silly so I got Dopey.

That's my board name in a nutshell.

Summer CHA 2008

OH BOY. I should so go back to scrapping and not surfing. I may actually have to get a job to pay for all of these great new paper lines that are coming out. I would list my favorites, but I'm afraid I'd run out of space! One is just better than the next.

I did pick out a few that I'm hoping to host swaps with - I'd love to pick them all, but I think other hostesswes would get pretty upset with me:
: Color Me Pink from 3 Bugs
: Pop Fashion from Pink Paislee
: Dream Dining Room from Heidi Swapp
: Glitzmas from SEI
: Poppy from SEI (only a few papers from this collection) - this one I'll post soon since it's already released.
: Haunted from Cosmo Cricket - not Halloween Themed
: Playful Petals from Daisy Bucket

The rest, I'll probably just order for my paper collection.

We have a great time, and lots of great swaps, if I do say so myself.

I have also found a great new project that I want to teach a class on at Scrapbook Knook. It's a Christmas Countdown that is done on a Cookie Sheet. The samples I've seen are so cute. I think it would be a great gift.

I took the Birthday Bling class at Archiver's tonight. Cute cards. I wouldn't say we learned a lot of new techniques or anything, but we had a good time - and it gave us a reason to go scrapbook shopping. FYI for any of you with acrylic nails - be very careful with them and your heat gun - I melted one of mine tonight holding my paper. I learned my lesson.

For anyone that hasn't had their reminder lately - back up your data! A great money-saving tip so you don't have to have your hard drive read in a clean room. No one reminds you until it's too late. So, here's your reminder.

Scrapped Out

I have spent all weekend trying to clean off my workspace, and complete challenges from the shaker box crop. I am about scrapped out. I can't believe it but I think I am almost out of creative ideas lol. I really need to work on some swaps, but I don't think now is the time for sure, no one would want what I were to come up with.

Last night I actually had a dream about the perfect layout. Wouldn't you know it, now I can't hardly remember a thing about it. So much for perfection.

Got a few swap boxes in yesterday, I will have to get those checked in. One was from Melody - yeah! I always love her boxes, her work is just amazing and I often strive to be as good as her.

Mom is making homemade applesauce today. I can't wait. It won't be quite like grandma's - darn cooks without recipes, but we have got it pretty close.

Here's Me

My Name is Liana. I am 28 years old and I live in mid-Missouri with my husband. We got married in November 2006, and I still haven't scrapped my wedding. We have no children, but we do have a dog Bailey a 3 year old Bassett Hound. Blogging is very new to me, so I hope everyone will bear with me as I get the hang of it.

I started scrapbooking in 1997 after my family took a trip to Disney World. What an album, I would love to re-do it, but it is a nice reminder of where I came from. I started after that working with a lot of Creative Memories products which was a major supplier of my scrapbooking supplies for many years. I have recently been introduced to the wide wide world of embellishments. What a change from stickers! My mom & I are a scrapbook team. I am not sure either of us could complete a project without the other's help or opinions.

I am currently a hostess on It's A Scrapbook Swap Thing, where I have met so many great people and scrappers. I started hostessing in January, and I have lost count of how many swaps I've posted.

Fast Facts about me:
I am an only child.
I am retired from owning a bridal shop for 9 years.
I make a goal to scrap something every day.
I live in a town of 600 people - and yes, I know most of them.
My favorite colors are Red, Purple and Black.
My favorite food is pasta.
My favorite restaurant is The Melting Pot.
My favorite beverage is Sweet Tea.

That's Me.
