Why haven't I Posted?

Well folks, let me tell you, I have not settled in.  I may never be settled...(she said jokingly)  Things are pretty crazy around here.  My husband and I share a car.  That means if he had to be at work at 5AM I have to get him there.  If I don't get off until 7:15PM (which is always) then he has to wait for me.  Life with one car has made for very long days. 12-15 hour days would be an acurrate time frame.  It doesn't give me a whole lot of time to unpack let alone craft/ post my crafts.  I'm sorry.
I had promised myself I'd make a fun and better web page, but I've failed.  I just don't have the time.  Someday my house will be more organized and I will have a meal plan for the work week but until than my posts are probably going to be sporatic and maybe a little sloppy.  I will try to keep them relevant when I do post and as well done as ever.  So don't forget me, I haven't given up yet, and neither should you.

I am looking into scooters, that might help my time problem and also give me my dream of being like Jessica Alba in Idol Hands!  You ever see it?  It used to be awesome!

Anyways, see you all soon.

If this post looks weird, it's because it was posted from my cell phone. :(

Magazine Envelope

 

I made a cute card, now what do I do about the envelope?  Simple, make one!  I just used tape and a page from a magazine to make this (as seen above) envelope for my cousin's birthday.  I didn't even do it up fancy... I just folded the edges down, taped up the sides, and folded the top over tape that down... and DONE!  You can just tape down cut pieces of paper with the address or if you are feeling fancy grab up some decorative template and create a more framed address space.  With scissors and tape you can do anything.  Anyways, it's not meant to stand the test of time or anything but with all the tape I used it will make it through the mail. 

This would be great to do on cards and notes that don't have to go in the mail, and the designs are easy enough to change depending on the type/size of card.  This was for a creative 13 year old boy but if he were more into cars I could have ripped a page from automotive weekly.  If it were a friend of mine who loves gossip mags than maybe a page from US weekly.  Use your imagination.  The possiblities are endless.  Like; newspapers, books, old children's books, etc.  I think I am getting too excited. 

I'm gonna go. Bye!
