Big Lot's Haul

Well my second day on here and prior to going to my nephew's ballgame, I dropped by Big Lots and racked up.  $3.00 for Basic Grey Chipboard mini albums, $1.00 for pack of 6 Martha Stewart Ribbons, 2 Martha Stewart glue sticks for $1.00,   K&Company Stickers for a $1.00. Making Memories Metal Index Tabs for $1.00 (10 in each pack) double sided 12 x 12 paper packs for $5.00, ribbons, felt butterfly pack total of 10 including the adhesive dots. I only spent $40.00 and that is including the tax. Can't wait to work on one of the albums and post the results. I hope everyone has had a wonderful day, the weather here in Tennessee has been great.

My First Post

Well the first thing you should know is that I have spent all day trying to get this blog up and running, and yes I am still in my pajamas, lol. Never thought about creating one before but I have been so amazed at some of the talented women, and the amazing things they have created that I just had to join in. It all really started with me trying to find something to work on, since I had completed all my major DIY projects so I started watching paper crafts on YouTube, gosh am I behind, You Ladies Rock!!!! And thank you so much for sharing, the passion is definitely there as you proudly describe your latest creation. I have to say that I was really inspired by watching Arlene, butterflykisseswithlove, and to think she has a husband and children, you are totally amazing!!!! Of course I had to go shopping to get some of the products you were using and now it's just time to get busy, can't wait to receive my packages.

My oldest son is currently in Iraq (second deployment) and the one thing he has taught me is "If there is something in this life you want to do, go for and quit just talking about it". It is a wonderful thing when your grown children give you such profound advice. Oh, how I love my children, 2 boys 29 and 24, greatest accomplishments in my life time!!! So here I am thanks for all the inspiration and hopefully one day I will be able to inspire someone if only by spoken words..........
