chit-chatting & sharing a little bit of this, that& a video......

Though this part of the post is late...I did recently attend the 2013 CK Scrapbook Convention (Creating Keepsakes) in Hampton, Virginia. I HAD A BLAST! It was my very first Craft/Hobby Convention and I think I may become a convention junkie! -heeheehee- I did meet up with an extremely nice, hilarious and very crafty lady along with 2 of her friends! Again....I HAD A BLAST and am ready for another!

The other day: Now I'm not boasting/showing off or anything but my daughter....bless her heart...has RAK'd (random act of kindness) me with A Kindle Fire HD!!! I am so excited!! The first time we talked about Kindle (period) was when she purchased hers years ago. Her job takes her here and there; sometimes for long periods of time so she reads a lot! Which was very surprising at the time because I think she almost hated to read as a teen! LOL. Anyway...please watch the video below. It will explain the story.

Today: I went to Tuesday morning expecting to find a case for my Kindle Fire but ended up in the craft section!! Now, how many of us have done that???? hahaha!! All I know is that it's time to do another crafty project!

Well, gotta run for now and I hope you liked the post and enjoyed the video.

My Very First Swap...YAY!!

(ok, so this is a late post...sorry) Hi there all! Just dropping in to share with you my latest crafting adventures. It is my first altered swap with a fellow YouTube friend of mine name Lisa (Scrapin2010). She is such a nice person and I appreciate her for so many things concerning this swap. She is also a very talented lady. I hope that she likes the box. (including a few goodies)

For the swap, it was also, my first Altered Wooden Balsa Box. Anyway, I covered the box with designer cardstock, inked the edges & smudged a little paint here and there. All of the flowers were handmade, homemade.....ok, I made them all! lol. They were inked, embossed, painted, glimmered, shimmered and shaped. Whew a mouthful! 

Overall, I am pretty pleased with my Altered Balsa Box. I am definitely going to make some more but not quite sure about the swapping part. Here is the YouTube video I made of the completed balsa box.

Because of my shear excitement of this being my first swap EVER and my very first balsa box.....all youtube-crafting-swaping-etiquette....went out the door. So of course, I forgot to send a card also. This is why the video is mostly reading. Anywho...my apologies to whomever nerves I plucked by not adhereing to the etiquette. It's a process and I'm sure I will make many more mistakes along the way - so be ready to laugh or be mad. lol. Well, bye for now and continue to Be Exceedingly Blessed!!!

I finally did it!

Well, I have finally did it! I am stepping out of my comfort zone with a blog!! Who would have thought? : )
This is just a small note to welcome all of you into my world....that gives me a peace of mind. I hope that, as you tag along with me, that you will find something that sparks you in some way or another. Maybe even an Aha moment here and there. I will write more about me in my next post. Until then...~ Be Exceedingly Blessed~

This is a photo I took some time ago. Just sharing.
(I will do this often for reflection)
This is just signifying a peaceful moment for me in starting my new  journey in blog-land!
