And the lucky horseshoe up her butt girl is..........

Teka Cochonneau! Congratulations, please email me your mailing information to rivermyheart@yahoo.ca and I will be crazy happy to send you your box of goodies!

As for the rest of you ladies, thank you so, so much for taking the time to leave a comment. I loved reading all your comments and you totally made my day!

Instagram, Cameo & a Giveaway! Oh My!

I have re-kindled my love with Instagram not that it ever died out, but I was a complete idiot and switched from being an Iphone user to an Android user about a year ago and I lost my Instagram app with that choice. I was beyond pumped when they made it available to Android users a couple of months ago and I have been snapping away, capturing super cool everyday moments. BEST APP EVER. Hands down. Here are some of my favorite shots....

And Now that you made it through all those I want to show you what I have been making with my new best friend....the Silhouette Cameo (finally got the spelling down). Ray my super immature husband has nicknamed this machine camel-toe, yes he really is 46. A picture for Tay's wall, just a cheap dollar store scrapbook frame with my favorite Jack Johnson Lyrics that remind me of Tay.

And one for River's room

and some Layouts I made with the amazing Studio Calico May kit 35 mm. Can't wait to really tear into it! This Cameo business has really stepped up my titles a notch, oh the freedom to never run out of e's or r's!

Random Happy Mail today that put a smile on my face

And now for the good part! The goods!

My awesome friend Sheri was the one that sold me her Cameo (aka.camel-toe)She quit scrapbooking recently (sounds of horror) So with it came a ginormous amount of goodies that she hadn't even told me about! I am talking ALOT of goodies. I just did a big purge so was pretty choosy on the stuff I kept and thought it would be a sweet idea to do a giveaway with the rest. So thank you Sheri and all this stuff is for one lucky winner (there is enough paper to cover your kitchen walls). All you have to do to be entered to win is tell me which Instagram picture I posted is your favorite. I will draw the person with the horseshoe up their butt on Sunday! Thanks for stopping by, you kinda rock!

Washi Organizer

I am a girl who likes to utilize whatever is kicking around, hey it works! lol.

My happy place

I am drooling over some of the spaces I saw on the Studio Calico Forum today so it inspired me to take some decent pics of my scrappy space tonight. I have come along way from having one of those rolling rubbermaid containers with 6 drawers in the closet. Ha! Hope you enjoy and maybe get some good ideas for your space.

I was thrilled to score these giant scissors at HomeSense awhile back.

This used to be a button display rack at a Fabric Store that closed down, I got it for FREE!!!

I believe this shelf thingy was a decorative plate display, I got it at a garage sale for 2.00 ;)

This hot pink Bird cage is perfect for small scraps of ribbon to hang off of and all my washi tape is hung by binder clips to be at my finger tips.

My Cricut Station (hoping to trade it in for a Cameo soon ;)

IKEA Expedit shevles, these are the greatest thing if you want to be organized. I have 7 in my house.lol.

Project Life.

Well this is my first shot at Becky Higgins Project Life and let me tell you I am loving it!!! It makes me more aware of everyday things, the little, so easy to forget important things. The pre-cut journalling cards, fun designs, and cool page protectors make it so super easy to document the everyday. I apologize for the crap photos, it is late, and this is just as good as it gets right now. Click the picture to see it in ginormous prportions.





To help with the organization of such a huge undertaking I have a notebook designated to keeping track of my days by simple point form notes that I think matter. I also created a folder on my desktop for all my pictures and organize them by date to keep it fool proof.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy. I cannot wait to see the whole year documented. I think out of all my treasured scrapbooks this one will be dearest to my heart, because it is the real us. The good, the bad, and the ugly.

Enjoy every moment, create happy memories.
