OKAY, SERIOUSLY, HOW BEHIND AM I???

oh how i hate getting behind b/c all ya'll nosey folks out there don't get to peek into my life as much or as often :)

first lemme says *big thank you* to everyone who dropped in and let me know that you were still reading! seriously, i was beginning to think that i had bored ya'll to tears and no one was checking! so thanks for giving me that bloggin' boost!

secondly, i'm sorry that it took so long to say that but things have been busy around here, but more on that throughout the week.

lemme back up though to not this past weekend but the weekend before that! greta came over and stayed for the whole weekend while we scrapped. now needless to say, i didn't get as many lo's done as i wanted to, but i love what i've done. i just so happened to get the fab-boo kit from noel mignon on friday and thank goodness i did. i literally raced home and tore the box open so i can check out its fab-boo-ness in person. you haven't ordered this kit yet, shame on you, b/c it really is awesome.

here are the lo's that i did with it so far (notice the so far :)











this card i made for an owl swap that i am in. ain't it a hoot! sorry, i couldn't resist ;)

and she sent me even more goodies from the ki alpine line which i love too!

i am *so* hoping that i will find some time this week to creat even more magic with this stuff. {deep sigh} the colors are absolutely perfect for fall.

okay, so after i got some creating done, me and g got to meet aimee. okay can i just say how much i adore this chick and her house (go ikea ;) she fit in with us so awesome-ly you woulda never thought that we just met. seriously. i dig this chick and can't wait till we hook up again.


a horrific pic of me and the ever fab aimee :)

SO MUCH CATCHING UP TO DO!!!

indeed i do, i have a *ton* of catching up to do, but considering that is 7 am and i should be getting ready to leave for work, i figured i drop in and post a couple more pics of noel's new kit.

it is sa-weet!!!!

i should have it in my hot lil hands, hopefully saturday, i know greta is wanting to fondle it a lil before i get to working on it (she's coming over saturday and staying the night for an all night crop).

here's a couple of new pics that noel sent me.


this is another shot of the main kit....swoon!


and this is a sneek of the add on...again major swoon!!

go here if you missed out on the first lil sneak peek :)

can't wait to get it and once i get it in my hot lil hands, i'll post a pic. now if you feel as if it is a matter of life and death to get your hands on this kit (and i think it is...lmao) then make sure you get over there once she releases it b/c she only has a limited number and if you've ever missed on a kit in the past, then i'm sure you're like me and you have kicked yourself in the ass for it.

here's hoping that tonight or tomorrow i can get on and do a lil catchin' up b/c there is a lot of it to do :)

*smooches*

BOO!!!!

okay, so who doesn't love halloween right?
well one day, while at work, my gal pal simone and i were emailing each other back and forth about our love for all things halloween (esp. martha's halloween goodies at michael). it was at that point that a bolt of lightning struck me and i said, "hey why don't we have a halloween swap??"

well being that halloween is a favorite holiday for simone also, she jumped on the train.

so make sure you go and check out the witches' caldron where you can sign up for a spook-tacular swap, find some great tips are makin' your house the spookiest on the block, some bone*chilling crafts, and some major gross out recipes!!!

all the details on the swap can be found here.

believe you me, this is one swap you won't wanna be caught dead missing :)
