Wow Been a while... I know I am a BAD blogger... 

I have been working on some fun but easy projects this summer and trying to get my craft room organized... The craft room is coming together and I hope soon to get it finished and cleaned. I went light on the swaps for August so I have time to organize my room.... Easier said than done, I have this thing I dubbed The "DCD" (dangerous crafting dosorder)  it is a combination of OCD and ADHD.  You see I start to clean because the mess drives me nuts then I find a few thing laying around that would make a good pin cushion, lace doll or ATC.... and it starts all over again... instead of clean it look like a bomb went off and all the supplies landed on my table....ARRRGGG!!  But all is not lost I end up making something real Cool!!  LOL!!!  This is a vicious cycle...  Here are a few projects I have been working on ..

a chunky tag 



Some swaps for Your Paper Pantry ... I just love this place I am new but have done some fun swaps. I don't want to give away the surprise...LOL!!  


A Book I am making for a friend. Found the Tutorial on youtube A Channel Named Stamping T Check it out the only difference is I use heavy book board and make my book very ridged.




Just a wall hanging for my room.. almost finished



Cool Tim Holtz Die I tried this is for My friends Birthday.. 



A pin cushion I make out of empty sticker rolls from the deli I work at, some vintage lace and WALA!! instant pin cushion.



Other than the small projects I am cleaning Here is one of a set of cabinets I bought at the good will. It was a  SCORE!! 14.99 each.  Happy is me.. and yes They are full already.


OK back to cleaning.... is my nose growing...LOL!!

Have a happy Scrappy Day!!
