Joining the planner world?

So I have heard and read all this excitement in the planner world...

I bought the Me and My Big Ideas Planner last week , hoping it will help me get organized?

 Maybe get a birthday card mailed on time? Journal notes for my photos? 

Make cute little photo layouts... 

 I found this link for mini pictures and help on resizing,,

Anyway it was my paper fix this week, who doesn't just love some papers , stickers, and pens? 

You should see all the cute stickers on Etsy... hydrate, weight loss, exercise, clean your house? 

 I am hoping to get my Project Life in order , I have gathered everything I have bought in last year and moved it downstairs, school will be out next week and this Grams will need a project or two that travels to pool and tutoring.

Thanks for stopping by,

Kathy
 

Happy National Scrapbook Dasy.... Giveaway...

Happy National Scrapbook Day

Sadly I have not crafted much this year, but I have the best photos that I will treasure for the rest of my life. 

Yes, I know I have been MIA, it has been a wild winter for me ...5 trips to  home to Illinois , 2 trips to Ohio, a  hospital trip last weekend for husband...
My dad is fighting his cancer battle a seems to being doing well at the present, my grandson "Diesel" has recovered from a terrible case of RSV. , he is doing great!  My husband has 3 steps forward and 1 step back again with back issues ... so this is what they call life!

 SO when in doubt no matter what is happening sneak a photo, it may offend your sister but she will get over it sooner or later... isn't this the best picture?  after 20 days in ICU thinking the worse thoughts you can not even say aloud ....  I took this visiting after they took off ventilator.


So if you are reading this you still follow the adventures of Kathy aka "Scrapin Kat"... it is never boring in my life to say the least ....
Leave a comment on May 8 , I will draw from comments for a prize ...
Thanks,
Kathy

Warning... You still have time

Yes we still have time to make Valentine's!
So much cheaper (these days anyway) and who wouldn't love a handmade card?
These are from 1938 ,
 I saved them from the dumpster last year!
 Does that make me a hoarder..Wait!
Don't answer that yet?
Yes I save things... cards, candy boxes, photos... even stuff that wasn't mine.
 What is the oldest thing you have saved?

Happy Thursday!
Kathy


I am experimenting with my new tablet -it doesn't like blogger?
Gee I  have so may technical issues... how about you?

Mixed Media Bag

I was so surprised to see that my #1 granddaughter is really using the cute little canvas bag I made her awhile ago!

I bought these cute little  purse like bags at hobby lobby on sale of course,
 I added a iron on, stamped a image on The O,

I was using stash from my store so a combination of glimermist and  clearsnap sprays.
Simple and easy ... let it dry!

Have a great day!

I am still sorting my stash and finding lots of things to play with!
See you soon!

Maybe Feb 1 is the start of 2015

Happy New Year?

So I am off to a bad start...
So much for all those things I am going to do in January...
The year ended with a big bang...  A new grandson well born around Thanksgiving!  So we spent Christmas with them!

I spent New Years eve in the hospital with my Dad , he is having Chemo for stage IV Lung Cancer and need a little transfusion because his blood was low. That kinda changed my mind on donating blood , My Daughter works at Lifesouth and is always in need of donors. So I plan to Pay it Forward in 2015 after flu season is over.  

As for goals , not going to make any promises , My blog will be mostly personal and some art I do this year. I am finally done with the "business" part of crafting. Maybe I will enjoy it more now. So leave me a comment to see if I still show up anywhere in 2015,

Happy New Year!

Kathy
