Just Hello

on Thursday.  Man, was it crazy busy at work this week.  I had a couple of research assignments that kept me in the office between 9:00 and 6:00 every day.  And in all my years of paralegaling, both were situations that I'd NEVER had to research before.  It was fun, but I'm glad both assignments are done.

I only found a little bit of time for creating.  If you had told me last year that when my Studio Calico kit arrived I wouldn't open it for a few days, I would have thought you were nuts - not so any more.  Now I feel like there just isn't enough time in a day.........

Anyway, here's a peek.

I'm loving Ranger's Glossy Accents again.  There's a few dollops on the yellow flower.

I finally managed to get some "green" going for St. Patty's Day too.

And plowed through this on my lunch hours.......

Next up,

Off to watch American Idol..........

Just Thanks and A Page

So thank you to everyone who stopped by during the OLW blog hop.  It was another fun, inspiring one, full of cool photos and takes on words.  Be on the look out for another one on April 1st.


And oh boy............ Studio Calico's Candy Shoppe, the February kit.  Talk about one little  word:  LOVE

The new label stickers rock - I grabbed some 7 Gypsies rubons from the stash that just seemed to fit wonderfully!!!

And now I'm off to the Macy's one day sale..............

Enjoy your weekend.



Just the March OLW Blog Hop

Happy March 1 everyone!  So glad to be rid of February, and so glad to be that much closer to spring!   And because its the first, the OLW crew is blog hopping again.  Our assignment this month was to take nine photos that captured our word.  I fell behind thanks to that nasty strep I had, but did manage to capture a few snapshots of serendipity. Well, what felt like serendipity to me anyway!!


This day in February I expected to be snowed in, but really.............,

Polka dot pillows and ones that sparkle, too,

Houndstooth fingernails,

This is totally cool,

And this one, I found on line when I googled serendipity,

And hmm........serendipity...... I was pretty thrilled when I saw this!!!!  The marvelous Miss MLE hosts a sketch challenge on the CP blog each month   I love her sketches every time and the other day finally found a little ttime to play with this one.  Its a fab combination -  CP and Miss M's sketches!!  Add it to your March "things to do" list.  And thanks for the shoutout Miss MLE.

So anyway, I now direct you to my fellow OLW'er Lynn.  Have fun!!  There are 44 of us this time!

And if you get lost along the way

Just recovering

from a strep throat that kept me with a fever, sleepy and really quiet for the last three weeks or so but am feeling better now and getting back into the routine.  And able to talk again!  I can't remember being that sick since I was a child - long, long ago..............Man, its tough when you are allergic to penicillin.

The snow has finally stopped and thankfully, there isn't another storm in sight.  Rain yes, like today, but none of the white stuff.  Hurry up and get here spring, I say!! 

So anyway, got back to my scrap room .........

dug deep into my stash on this one.  Well, as deep as I can since that MASSIVE purge when we moved.  Anyway,  these large black letter  rub ons were Arctic Frog!!!  And the white letter stickers, Heidi Swapp.

I'm not quite sure how this all happened actually, my plan was for something entirely different.........

Love that wood grain stamp from Studio Calico!! 

And I totally missed most of the month in the OLW  class but thankfully, still have a few days to work on our assignment.  Another blog hop on the first of the month is coming too.

I did manage  to snap a photo of my sickly self, in my zebra pajamas, in front of the zebra shower curtain.  Funny what fever does to you!!

And now I'm off to OPEN my Studio Calico kit...............the February one!!! 

Enjoy your weekend!!

Just another challenge layout......

and thank you to the amazing Kimberly from the Studio Calico Design Team!!!!

Just A Thank You

for all the fun comments here yesterday during the OLW blog hop!  It was fun, and I can't wait to hop again next month.  It was such a blast to see so munch inspiration on so many blogs. 

And speaking of inspiration.............a quick one from this morning, as I still watch the snow falling outside........

The design team has been hosting lots of fun CHA challenges over at Studio Calico this week and this layout combined four of them.  You may want to get over there and check some of them out!

Have a happy Wednesday!
