And hour to browse Pinterest!

Have you heard of the website Pinterest?  It's basically a spot where you can "pin" photos, ideas, etc. that you find during your time blogging on the internet - it is very cool and VERY addictive - there are recipes, inspirational posters, cleaning and organizing ideas, craft ideas - it's endless!  If any of you are members, I'd love an official invite - if you ask for an invite directly from the site, it takes FOREVER!  I want to start pinning!

Anywho, I introduced my dear friend Kristen to the site a few days ago and now SHE'S addicted.  We made a deal that we had to earn time to browse Pinterest by creating and sharing something - 30 extra minutes - oh joy!  Well, I did it - I completed 2 swaps - one with products out of the brand new Sale-A-Bration mini-catalog, and one with products out of the new Occasions mini-catalog - both go live in January.  I'm pleased with how they turned out - and both are original ideas - very unusual for me since I normally stamplift from other talented people:)

Once More, With Feeling....




So, I started my blog about 18 months ago, but for various reasons (none of them good) I only updated it twice. When I tried to post to it last week, I got an error message. Kelly suggested I start all over from scratch, so...here we are!
The biggest change for me will be remembering to take pictures of my projects in order to post them. The pictures on this post are from our last unit meeting. I did a "wow" demonstration showing the brand new, awesome Simply Scored scoring tool. I used it to make an envelope and also a halloween treat box.
I make no commitments to how often I will post, but I am creating projects quite frequently and will do my best to post pictures to share - after all, that's what it's really all about, isn't it? Sharing!
