Can't believe it's the last day of February. Spring is drawing near! I can't wait. I normally like winter time, but I am ready for some Spring weather. This has been one weird winter here in Oklahoma.

I have had a very busy morning. I am off work today, but I still got up at my normal time....yep, 3:30 am I was up with hubby. He had to go to work. So I started hitting the coffee pot and the Shack's Message Board.

The Creative Scrap Shack is looking for a guest designer for April. Check it out. The kits are designed by Cheri and let me tell you, they are gorgeous!!! So if you are interested, click on the link highlighted above and throw your hat in the ring!

Week 5 of my Emotions Mini-Album class is up. I can't believe that we are 1/2 way through the class! Time flies!! Patience is our Emotion this week. I am sooo glad that Chris is a patient man! He has to be to be married to me. I, on the otherhand, have NO patience whatsoever!

After uploading Week 5's Emotion and checking the boards, I hit my project room and started working on new stuff for my Etsy Store. Last night I started working on some doodles to scan and print out on cards. They turned out so great. This morning I started scanning and I am so excited that they turned out so good. I made some felt bags to hold these fun cards. I have some other items that I will be finishing up later this afternoon.

These cards are the collection that is inside these two felt bags. There are 2 of each design.

Whew, what a busy busy day! Actually what a busy busy past couple of days. Yesterday was my hubby's birthday. I think the phone rang non stop of family and friends wishing him a happy birthday. So we gave up trying to spend a quiet evening together. He talked on the phone and I made some cards.

I got them listed on my Etsy store just a few minutes ago.

Oooo, and I had a very happy mail day yesterday and today! Yesterday, when I got home, I had my April Design Team kit from The Creative Scrap Shack waiting on my door step!!! It is gorgeous!!!! I can't wait to start creating with it.

And today, when I got home from work, I had another package sitting on my door step. I wasn't sure what it was, because I wasn't expecting anything until later in the week. When I picked up the box I was soooo excited. My order from Dick Blick Art Supplies was early!!! I am in Sharpie Heaven!!!!!!! I have been out of Lime Green for a long time, and my blues and pinks are fading fast! Not anymore!!!!!! WooooHoooo!!! I either need to get a job with Sharpie or buy some stock.

I finished up this adorable Maya Road Crown Chipboard album for the Product Showcase at The Creative Scrap Shack. I took a Maya Road Crown Chipboard Album and a Maya Road Crown Sheer Album and combined the two. I love how it turned out. I also use Dream Street Birdie Bits paper. I love the vibrant colors. It's so much fun and whimsical. You can find all of these items at The Creative Scrap Shack.

I am so excited to tell you guys that my sister and my brother-in-law have moved their wonderful wood working stuff to Etsy. Kenny makes beautiful wood working stuff. Remember, he is the one that sent me that awesome "Bite Me" desk plaque! LOL!! Go check them out.

Well today is the day. Matt is leaving for Delaware. I am exciting for him, but I am also sad seeing him go. Right now a friend has come over to tell him goodbye. It's been a great two weeks having him back in the house. But man, it has flown by. We didn't get family pictures done because the weather never cooperationed. But that is okay. I still took some pics of him while he was here. I am sure gonna miss that guy, but what an adventure he is on!

Today I came across one of the most adorable Etsy Store and I have to share with you!
Lob Lolly Studio has the most adorable Lolly Bugs. I have to have them all!!! Not only does Lob Lolly Studio have these Lolly Bugs, there are other polymer clay and wool creations. Go check them out!

From Lob Lolly Studio:

Each Lolly Bug is a hand-sculpted original made of polymer clay over glass. Embellished with beads, baubles, and glitter, they can pose on their delicate wire legs. They measure approximately 2.5" to 3" from nose to bum to antennae to toes! Not a toy, they love to keep watch on your windowsill or hang from a favorite plant

Here are just a few of my favorite Lolly Bugs (and one day, I will have them all!!!)
