Ustream addiction

Thanks to my sister I am currently finding myself addicted to Ustream scrapbooking channels. Fortunately I have had the chance to use up some of my stash.  The hope mini is from Paperphenomenon and the Roadtrip album is based off a Christmas organizer that Followthepapertrail did.

The paper used for "Hope" was BoBunny Butterfly Garden.  How can an album turn out bad with paper like this? Prima goes great and I used an old scarf to make the tulle flowers with my die cut machine. I found the owl charm at a thrift store, took it off it's original chain and clipped it on to a TH clip.

The paper I used for the Roadtrip mini is Crate Paper "Static", I loved this paper line when I saw it but I had no clue how I was going to use it. There is a notepad inside for journaling and a folio to store pics, ideas, whatever.

Okay off I go back into Ustream world.  I need to remember to set a timer so I don't miss Project Runway tonight....

Owls, can't get over this find

I was in a thrift shop on OBT and found this awesome owl lamp. It had a shade but it was disgusting. Someone painted it cream I guess at one time because when I cleaned it there is dark brown underneath.  Well I opened up Flea Market Style magazine this month and there was my lamp (here it is from their blog), however, my lamp has a bowl in the base. So it was originally dark brown. Well now I won't feel bad when I paint it. I can't decide pink or teal. So for now they just are perched. I love it because not only is it a lamp but it also has a bowl built in to the base! It works and was only 20 bucks.

Finally got my scraproom organized!

I spent the last 3 days cleaning and organizing my scrap space. I needed more tabletop space and I have to have everything out or I won't use it.  So I tucked a folding table up under a scrap cube table. Love how this came out, didn't think it would fit all in there but there is plenty of space. It will work until I can find my green vintage desk that is on my wishlist.

October, I am over the whole Halloween thing!

I am so over the Halloween thing, it is everywhere! All the stores, all the scrapbooking sites, I can't stand it.  I love fall, but not so much all the orange and black, spiders, witches, etc.
    Okay enough ranting, I have started this new collection of green vintage office supplies. Of course, since I have an obsession, but recently I have come upon this color of green, each piece was picked up at a different place. The stapler (I heart this), in a thriftshop closeout in Ocala (free), the pencil sharpener, from a lady I was helping pack up her house for a move(free), thanks Jess! The file box at St. Vincent DePaul thrift store in Jacksonville ($3), the address file ( 50 cents), a thriftshop in Apopka, the chair in Orlando at a thriftstore, ($5). So now I need to find a desk, pencil cup, tape dispenser, trash can and I am good to go, hah!
