THANKS!

Cool Crafty-ness and Mystery Party Pics
Missie Krissie used the Freezer Paper Stencil Tutorial to create this nifty cupcake! I love how she embellished it with fabric paint. She’s also done an adorable giraffe in the linked post.
I love this tortilla chip scarf done by Shes_crafty. Too fun! Thanks for tweeting it to me! Makes we want to go make some homemade guacamole.. .I haven’t done that in ages.
We dressed up again this weekend (man, we’ve dressed up A LOT lately!) for a murder mystery party–1920s filled with gangsters and flappers, guns and gambling.… Read on…

Swamped!
I have a ton of projects in the works, but nothing to show you yet.. (I’m definitely trying this from the fabulous Diana of Craftypod, and I got some bake on laser transfers which i haven’t even opened yet which i’m trying to figure out what to try out with those). But I just realized that I haven’t priced any of my consignment sale items and I have to get those done today. And tons of stuff to do before the wedding this weekend (The Boy is gonna be a ringbearer, eep!)
So, wanna help out?… Read on…

Randomness
I’ll be letting out my inner geek at Dragon*Con this weekend, but I’ll hopefully have some scheduled posts for you, my adoring fans.. And some great pictures when I come back. Talk about CREATIVITY!
In other news,
I had an Ikea date yesterday with one of the winners from last month’s Contest, Colleen of Some Art Fabric. Besides being all around cool, she gave me some nifty halloween fabric swatches for prizes in the halloween contest. Nifty! So start thinking of things to do for the halloween contest!!
Ah, Monday..
Busy Busy weekend — we had our big neighborhood Block Party. So no creativity to share from the weekend. Although I did make a super-large batch of the Asian Pasta Salad for the party, and it came out really well.
And the lack of creative output can also be blamed on playing online video games all day Sunday.
But I do have several new projects in the planning stages, so watch this space!
Now, the house is a huge mess, and I need to motivate myself to clean it.
Robots, news ,owls, and cupcakes!
Relatively productive today, at least for a Monday. I did finish a few watercolor sketches. And did some laundry. And cleaned up the porch from Sunday’s after brunch gathering. Oh, and tried to find something for The Boy to wear to a wedding in Sept, as the ringbearer. The bride gave me no real direction as to what he should wear, and I have no idea what the wedding party is wearing. And I refuse to spend a fortune on something a 3 yr old is only going to wear once. Maybe I should check out the consignment stores. Unless… Read on…
