The Amy Doodle Of It All . . .

STUDIO CHALLENGE!

Okay . . . I'm done! I'm done waiting for the time to arrive when I can plow through this Studio and get it organized. I started painting but need to finish! The color scheme is a crisp apple green and white, so all the colorful artwork will just pop off the walls! I want it to be comfortable, shabby chic, or what I like to call funky country, so . . . Today I am going to start organizing, tommorrow I will paint, and Friday I will put it together, so on Saturday I can mess it up with a day of scrapbooking :)

BEFORE:

Sam the Magician!

Sam is so intrested in Magic, and the show called Masters of Illusion! He watches it and then proceeds to spend the next hour entertaining us with his amazing tricks. I of course am the lovely assistant. For this unbelievable trick, Sam needed his Dad assistant! Sam actually fit into a small box, and then stood up in it in mid air . . . AMAZING!!!!  :)

 

CHA Disappointment . . .

I just found out today that I will not be able to attend CHA due to financial reasons. Needless to say I'm quite sad, but know in the back of my mind that my Father in Heaven has a purpose for everything. I have spent the last 2 weeks working tirelessly to finish sample projects that will be used to create a class catalog for me. I am having someone else do my Make-N-Take at CHA, so for those of you who want the directions to my samples at CHA you will be able to download them on my blog. Here's a sneek peak at one of the projects Im working on . . . It's taking the 12 album Parts & Parcel BE product, and my pregnancy line to create an album that follows you through your whole pregnancy, as well as the developement of your baby! I'm real excited about this one and can't wait to finish it and get it posted! In the first  mini album box I glued an actual pregnancy test, and each box there after focuses on each month of pregnancy and development. Check back in the next 2 weeks for these projects and more, you can also look forward to the prego emergency purse, 10 things that I love about my family acetate album, Scrap room in a box, and Baby Shower in a box. I wish you all lot's of fun at CHA!

                

Gearing up for CHA 2009!

The last week, and the week ahead have been and will be total CHAOS!!! Nearly everyone in the house has had the flu, and I'm busy getting my demo's and make-n-takes ready for CHA. As I type. . . my husband lays beside me in bed crashed, and I am feeling pukie while typing on a laptop. I have been taking care of sickies for 5-6 days now, and my body finally said TIME TO STOP! Which I am happy to agree to, because I will sit in bed coloring( yes, I color! ) sketching for CHA, watching movies, and talking to my best friend...my husband :) (Remember we're newlyweds so we are still in that sickening sweet phase of our marriage, to which I have demanded that it must last at least 10 years!)

I can't wait for CHA, I'm starting my samples and I can't wait to finish them! I did finish my demo sample which will be a "Emergency Chocolate Kit". You know for those everyday emergencies like the car broke down, the kids are whining, I can't open the jar, or I have something in my eye. You know the really important emergencies where only chocolate will do  :)  It has a transperancy over the chocolate on the inside with a graphic that looks like broken glass. It turned out fun! 

Well time to get busy sketching . . . I think I have to get out of bed first   :)  Then again, maybe not! 

     

Idaho Christmas

I was able to hitch a ride with my girls mom. (That would be my 2nd ex-husbands, 1st ex-wife!)But to me they are simply family! The visit was fantastic. It was beautiful, and I really enjoyed my time with my girls, my son-in-laws, my grand-daughter and the rest of the family. The trip there and back took about 10 hours so we had lots to chat about, and I really enjoyed the girl time!

Project 365

 

I am so excited about Project 365! I started January 1st and am going strong, I only hope I can keep the momentum going.  I was so excited about this kit (and knew many others would be as well) so I got up early and bought the kit 1 minute after it went on sale!! I know . . .I'm a psycho :)  I'm going to try to keep a 365 album, and journaling on my blog to make it easier for me to keep up, feel free to take a peek and try your own 365! *As a side note- CK did not antisipate such a wonderful responce to their kit, so they are currently back ordered. In the mean time take photos, journal, and enjoy the journey!*
