Well the video streak is continuing as I am on a roll of taking some self care time to work on DIY projects. I am really enjoying my time right now making paper dolls. It is almost like playing with barbie dolls except I am able to use all my crafty stash to create them! This paper doll is Gina. She is perfect for this Summer Sun Beach themed pocket letter. I used lots of different Cricut cuts and stickers from the dollar tree. These projects are fabulous for feeling accomplished with showing a product after all the creating you have been doing. But, the process of putting it together is also very rewarding!scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-70889478716699343092018-06-14T08:40:00.000-07:002018-06-14T08:43:27.373-07:00Let's Get Crafty: Episode # 93: DIY Embellishments<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

But, I just had to share this project that I made this holiday. It is called a scrapbook folio that I won from the very talented youtuber Superhappy Scrapper! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Chandra hsd a great channel with lots of tutorials for a range of projects! I discovered her this fall when in a crafty slump, as I was just too tired, busy, and overwhelmed with my new full time working mama status. It was so fun to watch and comment on her videos as a way to destress from the day. I was working my way through all her videos when I unknowingly commented on a video with a secret giveaway and I won!! It was such a fabulous pick me up in a very exhausting time of writing report cards. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When the folio arrived, I was so overwhelmed and excited to receive this hand made project! It had the very trendy chalk paper of the season and I could immediately tell a lot of love and creativity when into the care of making this folio. I knew I had to use it as a December daily.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">This was so fun to use and embellish. I have 54 pictures in the folio and there is still room for more pictures! A great way to preserve holiday memories without the space commitment of a larger 12x12 binder album like I have been using.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Please watch the video to see all the fabulous folders and hidden spots for photos!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="http://youtu.be/tB54f3EHGHM">http://youtu.be/tB54f3EHGHM</a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-61232470879119763132014-12-31T08:57:00.001-08:002014-12-31T14:26:25.842-08:00A Year in Review....A Look Back at 2014It has been very long time since I have done a blog post. But, I have been looking over my blog recently and I have really enjoyed reading my yearly reviews here online. The blog has been the best record keeping tool I have used to document the daily comings and goings of my life. I missed doing one of these last year, but let's just say I was a little busy adjusting to the lifestyle change of being a first time mom. Last year at this time, my littleman was just about to pop his first teeth. He had rosy cheeks all the time and was drooling constantly. We had long nights and what felt like even longer days, as I was completely exhausted from supporting this little guy. So, I didn't have a chance to blog a yearly review. Over the past week, I have been thinking it is time to take back this blogging tradition. I didn't want to walk away from it, so here it is my personal look back at 2014.<div><br></div><div>When I think of 2014, I am going to identify it as a "The Year of Firsts". In someways it was a year of starting over, as life we had known had completely changed. Change can be a difficult thing to experience, as adjustments are made. As we celebrated the beginning of 2014, I knew it was going to be very different from any other year before. I had a little person, that I grew and gave birth to in 2013 who was going to be relying completely on me for all of his physical and social needs. </div><div><br></div><div>2014 started with a bang. Not so much from the partying...but my little guy popped his very first teeth on New Years Day. Yes, not just one, but 2 and then four days later he popped his top two teeth. No wonder this little guy was suffering so dearly. It is truly the most difficult thing to experience...seeing a little person in pain and not knowing what they need and helping and comforting them the best we can through it. </div><div><br></div><div>The year of firsts continued as I spent the next 8 months of 2014 on a maternity leave. It was truly an amazing time as my only responsibility was looking after my little man and celebrating many different firsts with him. This special time taught me that it is okay to slow down the pace of life and to let things go. I also learned to appreaciate and value the little things in life. Sometimes that even meant housework...it takes a lot to give your full attention to another little person. I found that sometimes during my down time. I would go get crafty or nap as a means to take care of my own personal well being. Taking that time made all the difference. </div><div><br></div><div>There were so many different firsts including sitting up, crawling, first words, standing, and first steps. Then there were the first family occassions including my very first Mother's Day, Father's Day, and our very first family vacation at the end of June. I must say my year maternity leave is currently topping the list of memorable moments of my life. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">The path or journey I experienced to motherhood may have been a difficult one, but now that I have this opportunity I have truly taken the time to appreaciate every moment whether they are the most challenging or touching. </span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">A big part of this experience are the many lessons I learned during this time. Appreaciate all experiences and your loved ones, take time to relax and enjoy the richness of what life has to offer. To be honest, I am not always sure I would stop to appreaciate what I already had, as the bulk of my life has been working towards major life goals. However, I feel like I am at a point where I need to enjoy these major life goals and take time to appreciate the little things that make each of our lives unique. I think this is why I took to Instagram. It has been a wonderful way to document the little life moments throughout the year whether they are crafty or family related. It shows the journey, as well as the current mental path I am on. I look forward to all the possibilities that </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">2015 has to offer.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;"><br></span></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">My one little word that will always be in the back of my mind is to "Think Big" and "Appreaciate" what all the little things that come to mind.</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Wishing much Health and Happiness for 2015!</font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif"><br></font></div><div><font face="Helvetica Neue Light, HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif">Cheers! </font></div><div> <br><div><br></div></div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-6591286874945310412014-03-24T10:18:00.001-07:002014-03-24T10:18:42.900-07:00I {heart} Instagram<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ARo2HAK8Uak/UzBo8BocbvI/AAAAAAAAEX8/q1DjRufD-AM/s640/blogger-image--1008612252.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ARo2HAK8Uak/UzBo8BocbvI/AAAAAAAAEX8/q1DjRufD-AM/s640/blogger-image--1008612252.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">The technology world is forever changing!! There are always new tools to keep us connected to other crafters, friends, and family. I dabble with Facebook using my husband's account. Really just to share family photos to his family overseas. But, I just started playing with Instagram! It is such an easy way to share the projects I am creating and see what others are doing for creative projects also!! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I dont have time for videos like I used to, but haven't given up on the idea that I will be able to do videos in the future! Nor, do I wish to discontinue the blog posting. Although that has been at a standstill for awhile now too. Precious moments of my maternity leave are being enjoyed with my little boy and any spare moments that I do have once chores are done are to craft rather than post about what I am creating....until now...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Instagram is a great way for impromptu posting.

We had a lovely dinner at my Mom and Dad's on Saturday. This is a pic of my little munchkin in his NEw York Yankees hat that he got from his Uncle Markus who is a Yankees fan. He has some room to grow I to this hat, but just the same I wanted to take a picture of him in it!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I can't believe that it is already Thanksgiving. This time of year is always a great time of year to stop and think about the things that I am thankful for! This year it is no surprise that I am thankful for my little man William born on August 30th. He has only been in my life such a short time, but he has brought so much joy! My husband Andrei is also a person I am very thankful for, as he is an amazing partner and such an involved Daddy! He takes good care of both me and his son! Next, I am very thankful for my parents and sister! They are and continue to be fabulous support both physically and emotionally! I have very caring in-laws who take good care of us! I am thankful that I live in a clean home and a safe neighborhood. This allows me to be able to focus on the small things in life. I have caring and supportive friends! I have a lot to be thankful for!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> </div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-70939557469749707432013-10-04T14:42:00.002-07:002013-10-04T22:19:15.067-07:00Professional Photoshoot<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

She has been in the hospital since early July. She is now in a recovery centre to continue with her physio and recovery. We were finally in a place where we could get organized to go and see G.G. She was very excited about the birth of her great grand child. She has seen lots of pictures, but hadn't met him in person. So, yesterday we packed up the baby bag, car, and I even took a shower! I hadn't had one of those in quite a few days. These are a luxury when you have a new born. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">It was worth the journey!! Grandma or G.G was very proud of him. She was showing him off to the staff and loved every minute that she held him.

If nothing happens today, I am going to be induced tomorrow. Baby and I are both quite uncomfortable now I think! I have terrible bruising and stretch marks around my belly button for the baby stretching out. It has been painful. I wake up every time I need to roll over. Getting out of the bed and chairs is challenging, or simply going to pick up something like dishes out of the bottom rack of the dish washer.

It was made by my father 35 years ago for me. My sister was also changed on it too! We added the baskets and the top change pillow to help keep baby safe from rolling. The rocking chair is from my Grandma she didn't want it any more and so she gave it to us. The chest of drawers and the night table was my furniture from when I was 9 years old. I got my own bedroom set. The Owl lamp was a gift from my sister. The owl piggy bank was a gift from my Mom and Dad. The crib and bedding we bought new. The wall decal was purchased from Amazon. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">We areas ready as we can be for our first born.

As seen with a previous post, most of them were taken with my iPhone. I have a 3GS which doesn't have a very good quality camera like the new models of iPhone that are five years newer. However, I did want to have some pictures to capture this significant moment and memory in my life. My days of growing to be a Mommy. We went to Lifestyle Photography in Langley. Charlie did an amazing job with the photos, as well as making Andrei and I feel comfortable in front of he camera. She has a beautiful backyard for photos and great studio. Once bump is born we will be returning for the Newborn Baby shoot.<div><br></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7tvnRgWNb6E/UhYnJo2NRwI/AAAAAAAAEPY/BZJ7bklls_U/s640/blogger-image-515480450.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7tvnRgWNb6E/UhYnJo2NRwI/AAAAAAAAEPY/BZJ7bklls_U/s640/blogger-image-515480450.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ofSYv1osBik/UhYnRfz30NI/AAAAAAAAEP4/jQcnfZuxLm8/s640/blogger-image--961217007.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ofSYv1osBik/UhYnRfz30NI/AAAAAAAAEP4/jQcnfZuxLm8/s640/blogger-image--961217007.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c6v9g1LbYhs/UhYnPUKLA4I/AAAAAAAAEPw/Hgcj_cjJeu8/s640/blogger-image-139855012.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-c6v9g1LbYhs/UhYnPUKLA4I/AAAAAAAAEPw/Hgcj_cjJeu8/s640/blogger-image-139855012.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GFFzFQBMS9c/UhYnM-_aaoI/AAAAAAAAEPo/DI6QcvVIed0/s640/blogger-image--2045115765.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GFFzFQBMS9c/UhYnM-_aaoI/AAAAAAAAEPo/DI6QcvVIed0/s640/blogger-image--2045115765.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OtgACSQYwJc/UhYnLUuA4YI/AAAAAAAAEPg/qbGObp7F6jU/s640/blogger-image-517024599.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-OtgACSQYwJc/UhYnLUuA4YI/AAAAAAAAEPg/qbGObp7F6jU/s640/blogger-image-517024599.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-PJ3WTA7oOpg/UhYnSmI3REI/AAAAAAAAEQA/AuKSfNLlOaE/s640/blogger-image-1781510484.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-PJ3WTA7oOpg/UhYnSmI3REI/AAAAAAAAEQA/AuKSfNLlOaE/s640/blogger-image-1781510484.jpg"></a></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-90140505006712578632013-08-20T14:45:00.001-07:002013-08-20T14:56:30.222-07:00My Due Date Today...Still waiting<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1FlsvP52QJs/UhPj-6titRI/AAAAAAAAEO4/ZEKR3WbUMrY/s640/blogger-image--1009793221.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-1FlsvP52QJs/UhPj-6titRI/AAAAAAAAEO4/ZEKR3WbUMrY/s640/blogger-image--1009793221.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-BU3rTXX-LZA/UhPmDLJ2zCI/AAAAAAAAEPE/VTo-Mo5yxzg/s640/blogger-image-527344882.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-BU3rTXX-LZA/UhPmDLJ2zCI/AAAAAAAAEPE/VTo-Mo5yxzg/s640/blogger-image-527344882.jpg"></a></div><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><div><br></div>So, I am still waiting for this baby's arrival. I have been not feeling myself since yesterday morning, and having very subtle contractions. They intensified last night, and then they dwindled very early this morning. They have been occurring on and off today. It is hard to eat because my body rejects food, and I am drinking lots of water so I am not dehydrated. I just had a nap, so I feel less tired. But, still have contractions both around my tummy and back. We will see if this progresses.

This Saturday her bridal party is throwing a bachelorette party! That is if I don't go into labour before then. My part of throwing this party is having an appetizer and beverage party in our backyard. My sister went all out with the party that she hosted for me, and despite being less than a week from my due date, I wanted to return the gesture. We are going with a baseball theme. Batting cage, themed backyard party, Canadian Baseball game, and then a night out at pub. We are also having the bride an we bridal party dress up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I really wanted to get shirts for her. However, they are ridiculously expensive! At least 30.00 a shirt and that is only for one printed side. Not worth it being that it is something that we are only going to wear once! So, the DIY girl that I am I came up with a plan to make the shirts myself! This is what I came up with!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I bought the tank tops for 8.00 each. I already had the paint on hand! I used acrylic paint and the acrylic paint textile medium. I designed the text with my gypsy an used he cricut to cut out the template with contact paper that I bought at the dollar store. I followed the mixture as outlined on the textile medium bottle. I used a foam brush to apply the paint. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">A great effect, that in my opinion does not look homemade. And a 22.00 savings per shirt! This saved me 88.00. (not that I would have ever paid that for the other shirts) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I am looking forward to getting a picture of all of us in them!!</div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-77243420468062911692013-08-14T10:41:00.001-07:002013-08-14T10:41:54.232-07:00Some Scrappy Time<br><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-i5tiCrn6qvY/UgvBXXi7xeI/AAAAAAAAELo/BKa7VCo0m70/s640/blogger-image--900310360.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-i5tiCrn6qvY/UgvBXXi7xeI/AAAAAAAAELo/BKa7VCo0m70/s640/blogger-image--900310360.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7StMr2jSD0c/UgvBVfKPIBI/AAAAAAAAELY/f1_7GszL3-s/s640/blogger-image-594722375.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-7StMr2jSD0c/UgvBVfKPIBI/AAAAAAAAELY/f1_7GszL3-s/s640/blogger-image-594722375.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MObxDQ14wS0/UgvBWfQd_VI/AAAAAAAAELg/r5_INfO3jSQ/s640/blogger-image-413212785.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-MObxDQ14wS0/UgvBWfQd_VI/AAAAAAAAELg/r5_INfO3jSQ/s640/blogger-image-413212785.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-22E2RkvLOVw/UgvBYIJ2U-I/AAAAAAAAELw/xIespfVUQEg/s640/blogger-image--1466741183.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-22E2RkvLOVw/UgvBYIJ2U-I/AAAAAAAAELw/xIespfVUQEg/s640/blogger-image--1466741183.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I have been enjoying my craft space. I embarked yesterday on the project life baby book journey. My plans are to do traditional 12x12 scrapbook layouts in conjunction with project life pages. The PL pocket pages are a great way to do some creating and journaling and then adding the pictures later if necessary. A way to capture baby's first year impromptu with a few minutes without forgetting the memory! I started the book with a traditional scrapbook layout and then a second scrapbook layout on the back of the page and then dived right into project life pocket pages.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">When I look at all the tools, supplies, and stamps that I have to play with, I feel like project life is a style that I have been gearing up to since I bought all my Scrapbooking supplies. I have a lot if stuff that works with this style. So, it was fun to play and try something new without investing in a brand new hobby of supplies. I don't have an album yet to put these pages into because I was waiting to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Although, I was also leaning to a yellow album. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I am staying close to home these days, but I am hoping to convince my husband when he gets up from sleeping off his night shift to go to Michaels with me. I want to buy a picture frame for the baby room scrapbook layout I designed and look one more time at the scrapbook albums to see what is available as I will have to send my hubby to pick it up and that could be a bit of a challenge! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div><br></div><br></div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-5543675249794403232013-08-10T06:08:00.001-07:002013-08-10T06:08:28.805-07:00More Nesting Activities<div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UYRUv8sgR2A/UgY7P4D3HNI/AAAAAAAAELA/bxnGBozKnpU/s640/blogger-image-1660774028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UYRUv8sgR2A/UgY7P4D3HNI/AAAAAAAAELA/bxnGBozKnpU/s640/blogger-image-1660774028.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BCt1ybAszsk/UgY7Sri3bUI/AAAAAAAAELI/ftPDiV1Nc80/s640/blogger-image-1788722079.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-BCt1ybAszsk/UgY7Sri3bUI/AAAAAAAAELI/ftPDiV1Nc80/s640/blogger-image-1788722079.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><img border="0" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-UYRUv8sgR2A/UgY7P4D3HNI/AAAAAAAAELA/bxnGBozKnpU/s640/blogger-image-1660774028.jpg"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I haven't had my burst of energy to clean and clean and clean! But, I do have this instinct to take on organization projects that I have been meaning to do for quite awhile! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">These two drawers are from my kitchen. I took everything out of them. Cleaned them out, and then put shelf liner down inside of the drawers. I purchased the shelf liner at Dollar tree. One roll for 1.25. Excellent deal and better than that sticky stuff I used four years ago when we moved into the house! It prevents stuff from sliding around in the drawer, which is particularly of use in the Tupperware or plastic storage drawer! Everything is staying stacked and organized in there and it feels great to be organized. Hopefully it is something that we can maintain even after baby comes. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I am currently looking for a solution for my utensil drawer. It is very deep and very difficult to keep utensils organized. Been looking on Pinterest. But, haven't found anything yet! Stay tuned!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18915446.post-84534232239788963572013-08-07T11:43:00.002-07:002013-08-07T11:43:06.920-07:00Yes...I figured out the Ipad 3 Camera Connection ProblemSo, I have been determined to figure out why all of a sudden I couldn't use my Camera connection Kit with my Ipad. I thought last night that it had something to do with my SD card. But, that was not the case.<br />
<br />
Here are the details in case anyone else has these problems.<br />
<br />
Issue # 1 <br />
Files must be in a folder called DCIM (upper case) to be read by
the IPAD 3.<br />
<br />
Issue # 2<br />
File must be named 8 characters long. If larger they are not recognized.<br />
<br />
So excited! I am off to create my second video<br />

I have been crafting with my sister today since 11:00am working on the party favour thank-you gifts. I looked down and noticed my feet...they are all swollen basically from my ankle downwards! Since I have discovered this...I have been keeping my feet up! </div>scrapeahappyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10572662488599519675noreply@blogger.com0
