First Wedding Anniversary Page
Well this is the most recent page that I've done. I've been busy interviewing and working longer hours on my side job and working more hours as a sub in the school district. It's fun, but nothing is as stimulating as creating cards or scrapbook pages, drawing or baking! :)

My Thank You Page
Another page done!Today I met my mom for lunch at Potbelly's and a visit to Archiver's and Joann's. She was so wonderful and bought me the Cutter Bee Curvy Cutter Oval Template set! WOW!
It was a toss up between the oval and round template. This was my deciding factor: my mother pointed out to me that I can easily find a circle in the house to trace but ovals are harder to find. =D I can always use a glass or a bowl. We even discussed the compass that architects use.
Oval it was. I loved the way the blade cut seamlessly! It swivels nicely, but I still had to move my other hand that held the template down when it came time to pass. It wasn't a big deal at all. I'm grateful to have such a tool among my crafting tools. Thanks Mom! Thanks Curvy Cutter!
About my page: this page was made to honor and remember the people who are responsible for making my wedding picnic memories. I had fun with it. I only used a heart to stand my mom out and the others got flowers. Hearts are my picnic theme, but I thought flowers would be nice for this page. I'll continue on with my heart punches for other pages that include me and my very sweet Sweetheart, Edward Joseph.
I can't wait to use Nata's flower puncher again. :)

Paradise Scrapbook Page
Since my girlfriend Renata has introduced me to the exciting craft of scrapbooking. I am unable to stop thinking about it. Well, it's actually a blessing because I had been saving miscellaneous photos for several years now and had no idea what to do with them. Now I know.
Well today I went to a store called "Crafts Direct" with my long-time friend Nikki (it's her 30th birthday today!). (She doesn't have a blog ...yet.) Anyways, I have fallen in love with the craft of punching. Each time I visit a craft store, I carry around a heart puncher until it's time to check-out. Then I put it back. BUT NOT TODAY! NO! I made my big purchase. Perhaps it's just that much sweeter when I can put off gratification. Delayed gratification is so much more enjoyable, YES! =D
So tonight I went heart-puncher crazy and made this page of me and my Sweetie. I'm so in love.
After each page is completed, I say to my husband "Wanna see my new page?!" Of course I am excited, so of course he says "YES!" What a SWEETHEART! He liked this page.

Continuing on...picking up where I left off
**** Good Evening!!****
I will begin by saying this is the new site that has been created on purpose. I had 3 different Google accounts and an MSN email address. I wanted to combine and wasn't able to. So I started over with a new address and new blogsites. I just mentioned to my friend Renata, whom I put the beadwork pieces up for, that I was going to put up my newest page. Here it is. =) Here's a couple of photos of Edward 10 days after he proposed to me!
And the next two photos are of the beaded pieces that I made. The orange one was for a friend so I don't know how the clasps held up, but mine broke. I guess Renata-the-Beading-Guru will have to show me a thing or two with bonding and quality craftswomanship. Argh! So, I was wondering, but doubting, that I had too many readers that might be bummed out about my web address changing. I'm pretty new here so it might be easier than I think it is to find someone. If there is someone out there who is following my blog (now former blog) and had a hard time finding the new address, I apologize.
