Today after I got home from work I walked to the mail box. It was like magazine Christmas in there. Huge smile folks, huge smile. The scrapbooking gods decided to send my three craft magazines to me on the same day, unheard of. Usually they are staggered by a couple days. Not this month. Scrapbooks, etc., Paper Crafts, and Creating Keepsakes, oh my! Looks like I will have some reading material for the next few days!!
In other crafting news..... I'll be attending my first scrapbooking retreat in November!! I've never immersed myself in scrappin' for 3 days straight, should be pretty fun. And Gina and Colleen will be there, so you can't go wrong there!

My friend Kym is an artist and she works quite a bit with encaustic wax. She and I are going to do a trade..... I'll be making her mom a card, and she'll be making me an encaustic wax piece. Kym has already given me one encaustic piece that is awesome..... check it out below. You can also check out her pieces on
Etsy here......

I was at Fred Meyer the other night and I picked up the latest issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors (another craft magazine I like to read, but don't subscribe to.....yet). There was a card shown that I'm totally inspired by, and I'd like to take some elements from the card for the card I'm making for Kym's mom. It contains a quote that I love...."One generation plants trees, the next enjoys the shade." I'll post a picture once I'm finished, although it probably won't be for a month or two since all my scrap stuff is packed away for the move. Speaking of which........
Yep, everything is moving a long well!! So incredibly excited to have a place to call home........

Scrap weekend is going to be EPIC. Can't wait! It will be like summer camp all over again.
Scrap camp is the best - all the cool cats are there!!! I too was elated at the site of a double dip on my scrap magazines on the same day!
