I'm tired

I am so blasted tired. But so uplifted from my weekend. I went to a Chick Flick Themed Crop/Retreat. It was so blasted fun! Ask me what movies were played.........um yeah, I don't know. I remember them going in the player and I remember the credits at the end, everything in between was laughing, scrapping, laughing again. At one point I almost wet my pants, okay to much information, but we were laughing so hard it hurt. Pine City Scrapbook Company/Retreat Center is the place to stay if your ever in the area. The owners are so nice and the staff is top notch. The store is 4,000 square feet and it is attached, yes attached to the retreat center. That rocks, so when you are looking for just the right piece of paper or in my case some Tim Holtz inks or metals, just walk right out and put it on a tab. Of course when your having that much fun, you are not getting any sleep. Friday bedtime-3:30am-up at 9:30am......Saturday bedtime-5:30am-up at 9:30am, you don't want to miss anything!

I love my diet cokes and did have to leave a few times to get some, if you don't know me, they must come from a fountain, they are the best. However when one of the staff members (Lynn aka also my friend) came to work she brought me one on Saturday night. Awwwwwww, how sweet! I wake up Sunday morning and in comes another scrapper friend and what does she have in her hand? A diet coke, yes that's right, Peggy, my scrapping pal brought me a very much needed diet coke after a hard night of scrapping. Thank you girls, you must love me!

Okay, I did get something done. The box is officially done. Yes! Those of you who know me, know I like short fast get er done type projects. I get distracted so I do small books and don't really scrapbook. I do projects. So as you have seen the front of the box and 1 page, here are a few of the other pages. I do like the way this turned out. I love my Dad and wanted this to have this out on the table to look at and share with others. The pictures are great. My Dad just turned 80 in March. So here we go. (Mom if you reading this I love you also, but I need some pictures of you so I can do a box of you) (hint, hint)

Those of you who scrap will notice I used the packaging from jenny bolins buttons for a frame. (who needs the buttons, although they are cute) I love the package. Some vintage lace, flower-prisma, Tim Holtz ideaology, vintage hook, Inks = Distress Inks-Tim Holtz, Jenny Bolin milk cap, tag from 7 gypsies. Picture of Dad. (I think he looks like Spanky from the Little Rascals).

This page was don with some gesso dabbed here and there, then distress inks were used over it and then stamped over it. Stamped clock and added Tim holtz ideaology spinners.

This one is one of my favorite pages. Can you guess why? It is the picture. I love this picture of my Dad, it is so cute! Stamp is from Tim holtz, pin is also Tim's. Tag is 7 gypsies, the metal trike is from Micheal's arts and crafts jewelry department, vintage snaps. All pages are done with 7 gypsies papers.

So I hope you enjoyed!
