CELLAR DWELLER'S DREAM

Elaine K...send me your snail mail address and I will be sending out a prize package to you worth millions...ok, maybe not millions, but lots!  :)

I have had so much fun with this little contest and now I have visions of how to decorate the wall leading downstairs.  I see an Uppercase Living 'something' there - is anyone having a party in the near future?  I'd order from you.  Once I'm all moved in, you are all invited over for a fun scrapping day!  I'd love it!!

Now, I also have some more artwork to show you today.  Katie's demo board swap is done using the Wings Creative Basics paper pack.

Didn't she do a great job?

A surprise package waiting for me

When I returned home from my last trip, there was a surprise package waiting for me.  It was the final Secret Sister gift.  Marilyn did a wonderful job!  Thank you so much for all the goodies I got!

You want to see what was in this package?  I thought you might, so I took some photos for you.  First up was a wonderful purse filled with cards and a stamped post-it note pad.

The next item was a fabulous mini album ready for lots of pictures from next summer when we go to Disneyland in California!  I can hardly wait to fill it up!

Thank you again Marilyn, I have loved my gifts!

Revealing my Secret Sister gifts

Congratulations to the Super Bowl Champion Packers!  This is the first time in a really long time that I have been so excited about a Super Bowl game, but "my" team won!  OK, enough about that...on with the artwork...

While I am still awaiting my final package from my Secret Sister, we have revealed ourselves and now I can show you some of the things that I had sent to my friend, Jen.  She already knows it was me now, so I don't have to keep it secret anymore!

The first month was October and here is what I sent off to Jen.  It's hard to tell from the photos, but this spooky little house, but it was a votive card.  Inside it had one of those little battery operated votive candles and with the lights dimmed, it looked really cool!

Then came November so I had to come up with something else.  I don't even remember what else I sent her besides these chipboard ornaments, but at least I'll show you them...I guess I'm not as organized as I thought...I've had to dig through photos to find all these.  Arrgghh!

Stay tuned tomorrow and I'll show you my December and January gifts.

Another Video Tutorial-A File Folder/Notebook Holder

Here is the video I was working on. I guess I have not learned enough yet about You Tube to get it put on there, too. Maybe next time. I am learning so much...don't push me :)


I am just pretty pleased that I was even able to actually get it to post on my blog!!

I guess this is just another reason for me to make yet another video-so that I can continue to practice what I am learning. Please feel free to leave a comment below (or email me) to let me know how I can make videos better for you or what you would like to see.

Now go check out Lynn's blog to see the originals that she taught us. You can easily use the cute patterned file folders so you don't even have to cut all that paper to the folder. Even easier!

File Folder/Notebook Holders

Remember yesterday when I told you I would share what I had planned for my paperback flowers and also remember last weekend when my friend Lynn was here? Well, Lynn showed us how to make these easy file folder/notebook holders. I combined the two to make these...
You start out with one of these plain, boring, ordinary file foldersAnd turn it into thisAren't they great?

I am actually working on a video to show you how to do it. Hopefully I will have it up for tomorrow-maybe even on You Tube if I can figure it out!
