Project Strategy: Washi, Washi

It's a hot summer day! I'm so not going outside - I would melt! So instead, I've decided to stay in and organize my washi tape and I must say, someone needs rehab!

I took two 8 1/2 by 11 inch cardstock papers and about an inch of washi tape to create swatch sheets. These sheets will make it nice and easy for me to know what I have. It's going to be a breeze pulling them out while working on a project! ... and they can also double as example sheets for washi tape swaps. Yeah, that's pretty cool! ... Well, this has got to be the fastest case I've closed all year! Until next time!

14th Birthday

Yesterday, Michael Jr. turned 14 years old. We celebrated with our annual trip to the Orange County fair. We laughed, had big food, shopped, and stayed late. On the ride home, Mike and I talked about how time has flown by. He'll be joining the high school crowd this fall and I must admit that I'm a bit nervous. ... Good thing I'm a praying mama!

Awesome, intelligent, kind, loving, super silly, smart, talented, and a gentleman. Absolutely adorable! ... and I thank God everyday for this precious gift we call son. .. Until next time!

Blog Name Settled!

Hey! I have finally settled on a blog name that fits me! It’s my MC name plus what I love to do … storytelling. Yep! You read that right. Back in the day when Hip Hop was new and freestyle battles were fun, I use to take down the boys with my lyrics and style. I can still rock a mic ‘til the break’a dawn (one of the things my kids think is super cool) but I have transferred that skill to my wonderful world of mixed media scrapbooking and daily planning. Now that I am settled on my blog name, I can get to da’blogging. Until next time, I’m OUT … 5,000 G!

Happy 4th of July!

It's the the 4^th of July! I would like to take this time and thank all of the men and women who serve our county in the military. We are aware of all of your sacrifices for our freedom and liberty! .. and words are just not enough! Thank you!
