Happy Thursday

So my Kidrobot order came last night & I now have a new addition to my desk...could 2D be any cooler?!

I also picked up these little Ice-Bots


I ran to Archiver's this morning hoping to find that some new stuff had come in, but alas no new goodies...I picked up a few pieces of paper (because I can't leave there empty handed!) and the flowers I used on this LO

That's the picture of Mugsy I posted the other day catching his treat in mid-air :)

I then found this little gnome at Joanns and had to have him, he's going on my sewing basket.

De-lish paper

As I was leaving for work today, I saw the Fed-ex man drop an oddly shaped box off at our door. Of course curiosity got the best of me and I had to see what came in the mail! It was my order from Paper Source. This is wrapping paper, but I am so going to scrap with it...how fab is that robot paper?! I also got this sweet little stamp.

Such a beautiful day

Finally, some nice weather for more than 1 day! I was lucky enough to have the weekend off and it has just been beautiful, today is in the mid 70s and sunny, sunny, sunny! I took my sewing basket outside this morning and made these felt puggy pins..





Oooh I have to share that I was at Wal Mart the other day, they have the best price on my beloved Duck tape runners, and as I was leaving the office supply aisle, noticed these "notebook tattoos" and immediately thought...hmmmm, I could scrap with those! They were only like $1.99 :) You never know where you will find something good.

I *love* this idea

While checking out 2 Peas the other day I ran accross this thread and knew I had to give this idea a try since my collection of scrapping bits & bobs is getting out of control! There is an antique store we go to every so often and I always noticed big stacks of those trays for sale there. Well, this morning we drove over and I picked one up...it holds a ton of stuff! Best part is I can just pull out the tray and work from it instead of a gazillion bottles, bags, baskets...well you get the picture, it is so much easier...thanks for the great idea Jen...these are pics of my finished tray, pretty spiffy eh?!

Random Friday Stuff

Alrighty, we will start with my cute little felt duckies we made at our Chicagoland Craft Collective meeting last night, they were super easy to make & it has motivated me to pull out my Japanese mascot books to try making some more this weekend. I get to teach the craft at our meeting next month, we are going to be doing 8 x 8 scrapbook pages, it will be fun putting kits together with all kinds of fun non-traditional scrapping stuff!





Here are a couple of LOs I have finished this week




And a fun picture of Mugsy that is begging to be scrapped :)



Hope everyone has a great weekend, we are going antiquing tomorrow and then maybe out for dinner.

Mmmmmm....stamps!

Our Chicagoland Craft Collective leader Sarah blogged about these really cool stamps from Sideshow Stamps the other day, you really need to check out their stuff, it's fun, funky and retro and will be fun to use on some layouts...I ordered the owls



and this scary mummy!


Other cool places I have run accross this week are
kidrobot
ScrappyNation & Fredflare
Have fun!

Why my Dad is the coolest...

Because he sent Mugsy this outfit that totally fits his regal attitude. I put it on him to take pictures and figured he would be itching to get it off but no, he was prancing around the house like he owned the place...funny little guy :)


I also have to share this yum-o soup recipe that he sent me the other day. It is soooooooo good! He said it is even better the second day, but I wouldn't know since we were piggies and ate it all!
