2011-11-07T21:04:00.000-05:00

I wanted to let everyone know that we have two winners!

Last night I fell asleep and I didn't do the drawing, so I decided it would be great to have TWO winners!

After trying to post a video THREE times on facebook, (with no luck ) I figured I would post it here and on my wall.

The two winners are LISA WOOD, and PATRICIA STEWART!!! Please send me your address and I will gwt your prizes out ASAP!

Thank you everyone for stopping by!!

Welcome back for DAY TWO!

2011-11-06T02:45:00.000-05:00

Welcome back for day 2 of the MIX IT UP BLOG HOP with Scraptastical Kreations and Treasure Box Designs!!

Here is my second project for the hop. I chose to use the APPLE PICKIN file from Scraptastical Kreations, and the BUSHELS OF FUN file from Treasure Box Designs.

The little girl and the tree, leaves and grass are from the Bushels of fun , and the apples on the tree, the ground and the one she has are from the Apple pickin file.

The left page has the boy bear from the Apple picking file. The leaves and grass are from Bushels of fun.

I will be adding a title to it, but I wasn't ready to title it yet. lol.

I have a habit of making a layout, album or card and then I leave it alone for a day and come back to see what extra touches it might need. This is one of those times for me. :o)

A big THANK YOU to MyCraftChannel !!

2011-08-18T17:49:00.000-04:00

I wanted to give a nice big THANK YOU to My Craft Channel! I was not expecting to win, but I did!!! I won a Cricut Expression Anniversary Edition, better known as the E2.

I haven't received it yet, so I am stalking by my window and front door. lol.. (hoping my neighbors don't think I am watching them. :))

So this is my last full week of having Miss Lacie home for the summer. :((( School starts next week, oddly enough on a Thursday..

She isn't really excited about it, just having the new clothes and shoes. lol.. typical girly girl. :)

I haven't been listing much at all on eBay. Things are so slow, this economy has people scared and they are holding on to their money.

I plan on looking for something part time to do once Lacie is in school full time. I will still be scrapping, and praying this economy turns around.

Looks like I need to start dinner, thank you for stopping by. I hope to have something crafty created real soon to share with you. XOXO.

Finally... BREAKING DAWN Designer Purse Album

2011-06-19T13:20:00.000-04:00

Finally did it! I bought this paper from DCWV way back in February. I just haven't felt well enough to do anything fun with it. Now that I am off one of the medicines I was taking, which completely drained me, I hope to start making more albums, pages and whatever else comes to mind.

I have this listed on eBay right now. The auction ends on 6-25-2011. Stop by and check it out. Just type in BTDL and scroll down till you see it. I also have a new Facebook page called, "My Sweet Paper Dreams". Come by and "LIKE" it so you can see lots of my work.

Hope you have a blessed day!

Tear Bear "CELEBRATE" single premade page BTDL Tammie

2011-06-13T15:06:00.000-04:00

This is the single premade page I created with my new IMAGINE. I used the "YUMMY" art cartridge. This is a wonderful cartridge to own. I love the fact I can print my own paper in a true 12x12 size. I can't wait to share you more things I create with the Imagine.

Let the summer begin!

2011-06-13T15:00:00.000-04:00

I am so happy to say my sweet girl has "graduated" kindergarten. We are so very proud of her! She made the "A" Honor Roll all year long. She also won the "HIGHEST LEVEL READER", and also "BEST IMAGINATION" in her class.

She is so happy to be at home for a spell. I am so happy she has a break also. That means no getting up at 6:00 am for us for awhile. YAY!!!

It has been awhile since I have been blogging. I have felt pretty yucky for some time now. I had been on some medicine that zapped all my energy, so I just did what needed to be done.

I made the decision with my doctor last week to stop one of the medicines for my skin condition. I can't wait to get my energy back up! I haven't been doing as much scrapping as I would have liked to either. I am so excited to get back into it full swing.

I started a Facebook page on Saturday, please stop by and check out my page. I have different albums set up to show some of my crafty things, like my layouts, albums, and premade pages.

I am thrilled to tell you I received a CRICUT IMAGINE for Mother's day. I watched video's on YOUTUBE before I got mine, so it was very easy to start creating with it.

I have created a few cards already, and a premade page with it. Oh, and I made the treat bag toppers for my daughters class. Super easy and really cute!

I will post the layout later. It is the only thing I have left that I made already with my Imagine.

Stay cool and come check my page out on Facebook, it is under ,"My Sweet Paper Dreams". TTFN!

Happy Spring!

2011-04-13T18:11:00.000-04:00

Spring has definitely sprung here in North Carolina. Lovely flowers, bushes, trees and pollen is in full blown. I love three of those things, pollen would be the one thing doesn't love me.

I went to the doctor this morning, not sure if I had a sinus infection or just allergies. Thankfully is it just allergies. The pollen should subside in about three more weeks. Thank you Dr. E. :)

Things have been slow as far as eBay goes. I haven't been listing alot. I do have 4 listings up this week that ends tomorrow night.

Does anyone else have a Facebook page? I started one last June and was totally hooked on three games, hence no post from me in ages. I blocked 2 of those games this week. I just don't want to spend all day or night playing a game.

I wanted to share a picture of the chipboard album that is listed.

It is titled, "Friends", and I used the new Bo Bunny Gabrielle paper line to create it.

Here is the listing info for it. It is loaded, and just lovely!
I love shabby, vintage looking things and this paper just sang to my heart!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220766324229&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

Hope you have a great evening!

Long time no see

2010-11-18T11:44:00.000-05:00

WOW, I just can't believe it has been so long since I posted. I have checked in, but never posted. :(

Hopefully in the next few weeks, I will have new things posted for eBay maybe even Etsy. Fingers crossed xx.

While I have been away, I have had some health issues and new meds I started taking. They totally zapped my energy, so not much crafty-ness going on here. I have sooo missed it.

I just got back from a Thanksgiving lunch with Lacie at school today. She wasn't crazy about the dinner, however, I thought it was pretty good. Sure don't remember my school lunches tasting that good.

I have a few things ending tonight on ebay. Just a few single 12 x 12 pages.

You can find me on ebay by searching for: mysweetpaperdreams. I am a Proud member of the BTDL design team. Type BTDL in your search on ebay to see all of the amazing work from this super talented team.

now.. let me see if I can remember how to post a picture..

Sleep Tight pages just listed on eBay

2010-06-11T18:52:00.000-04:00

I listed two double page layouts last night on eBay. One for a girl, and one for a boy. They are basically the same pages, just switched the colors to make them different. I am trying out some patterns that I bought from TREASURE BOX DESIGNS. She has the cutest patterns! Love them. :) Anyway.. this is the girl set. What do you think?

Happy Humid Saturday :)

2010-06-05T18:58:00.000-04:00

What a hot, humid day it is here in North Carolina!! It has been this way since last week. I listed 5 new items on eBay on Thursday night.

One paper bag mini album, three single page layouts and a set of 12 x 12 pages.

I tried to post a picture of all 5 items, but I think only the last one is showing up. Not sure why... But I will re-post the other later.

Thanks for looking!

Tear Bear THE GRADUATE Premade Page

2010-05-21T17:24:00.000-04:00

Here is one of the pages I listed last night on eBay. I also did a boy one. Super cute! I am going to learn a new photo editing program since the one on my last computer is gone. Wish me luck. :o)

The computer saga has a happy ending

2010-05-16T22:05:00.000-04:00

Well, after having went through six visits to Best Buy store with my Dell laptop and 3 or 4 calls to the 1888 number. I finally have a replacement for my computer.

It was still doing the same things it had done since October. Not only did it do it at my house, but 4 of the computer guys in the store also saw it acting wacky. The strange thing is, whenever it went to the repair center in Atlanta, it never acted up there... yeah... right..

Finally last Monday the Dell came back from the repair center again and when they told me it had nothing repaired on it, I had to refuse to take it back. After talking to a different manager this time who read all the notes, spoke with the agents in the store, she honored my request for a new laptop.

Here is what I learned from this , so please use this as reference...

ALWAYS make sure when you send an item off for repair under warranty, make sure they write EVERYTHING you tell them it is doing. Make sure you keep track of names, dates and anything that could help you in the future.

If you can , get the person you are giving your item to, to verify what you see is wrong. That was what helped me get my replacement computer. I am happy with the outcome of this even though it should not have went on this long.

Also.. when you buy a warranty, make sure you understand it very clearly. Never ASSume anything!

((HUGS))
Tammie :)

The Besy Buy SAGA continues...

2010-05-01T11:02:00.000-04:00

Well, first let me say how disappointed I am with BEST BUY. ..... AGAIN.

My laptop is STILL not repaired for the issues it has had since October of last year. I can't seem to get anywhere with this store. I can't believe I am going through all of this. I have spent TONS and TONS of money in there over the years. I finally called the customer service number on Monday night after picking up my Dell laptop again. They assured me it was fixed. I came home, got Lacie settled in bed and logged onto my scrap groups on eBay. Lo and behold, as I was typing, my cursor was still going all over the place. I was literally speechless... for a few minutes.

I am going to call them back again today when things settle down. We are going to a birthday party this afternoon for one of Lacie's preschool friends.

I should have posted before now, but it really is a challenge to fix all of the errors as I am typing. I should video tape this and post it for THE GEEK SQUAD...
Anywho here is a simple one page layout I did this week. I am working on a new paper bag album and I can't wait to get back on it tonight.

Have a blessed Saturday!

New Acrylic/chipboard album

2010-04-03T01:07:00.000-04:00

Well, I was getting ready to post a picture of my latest album, but I guess it will have to wait until tomorrow.

What a day this has been!! WHEW! glad it is over and I am heading to bed.

I had to take my laptop back to Best Buy AGAIN for the same thing on Thursday. It was a unplanned trip back so I had no time to prepare myself for the two weeks it will be gone AGAIN... I am a little frustrated about the whole thing because this was the THIRD time I took it back for the same thing.

So now I am having to use SLOW MOE the desk top. It is so slow, it is unreal!!! I shouldn't complain, but I am spoiled to my fast laptop. LOL!

I listed my album last night on eBay and I thought my computer would be ready today (because they said it would be ready) but I got a call around 12:30 today saying they are shipping it off and it will be gone for two weeks. :(

I will get my picture up here sometime tomorrow so you all can see it. I have already shut down MOE for the night and I am using DH's laptop . All of my pictures are on MOE of my album.

I hope everyone had a great GOOD Friday and wishing everyone a blessed Easter weekend.

We are heading out for a quick trip to IKEA in the morning for a large stuffed shark for Lacie. Her friend Peyton has one and she has been wanting one so bad... My mom and sister are getting this for her and she is super excited.!!

Have a great night all, I want to post the picture tomorrow (well, later today) but if you really can't wait to see it, just search BTDL on eBay . It is the VINTAGE SHABBY album.

Sweet Paper Dreams!

New Twilight Mini Acrylic Album

2010-03-11T23:48:00.000-05:00

I just listed this mini acrylic Twilight inspired album. I love how it turned out. I like that it is a perfect size to set out on a desk or dresser. It measures 4 x 4 inches, has 12 pages including the front and back covers.

I really hope to have more listings ready for next week. This week I was pretty busy with Lacie's new room. We painted it and put new border and curtains up in her room.

I painted a wood shelf for her wall and also did an altered 12 x 12 canvas with her pictures on it.

I still need to get a few more pictures and accessories to finish things off. She loves her room!! LOL!

I think that is about for now.

Have a great night!

Tammie

NEW MOON Designer Purse Album

2010-03-06T22:36:00.000-05:00

I am so THRILLED to have my laptop back!! Thanks GEEK SQUAD. :) I hope it is fixed this time. Fingers Crossed XX.

So here is my latest creation I listed up for sale on eBay. I just finished a custom wedding purse album with this same paper. I think this paper is so elegant. I created my very first purse album with this same paper.

I am dog tired tonight. We painted Lacie's room today and will finish up with the border tomorrow and then set up her new valances and sheers. She is getting to be a big girl now, she asked to change her room so we did. My mom and sister bought her new bedding and some other things for her room.

I just can't get over how much it costs these days to redo a room. I hope to be able to redo our den this spring. I am so in love with blue and brown together.

Anyways.. I hope everyone is doing great. I am hopefully going to get up another album this week so be on the look out for it..

A look at my Thursday listings

2010-02-14T17:56:00.000-05:00

I was so excited this week to see my local Michael's had just got in some new papers and embellishments from K & Co. (My favorite paper line) YUM!

This album was created with their new paper and embellishments, plus Prima flowers and hand crocheted flowers by Sandy Vint from the BTDL design team. Her flowers are so amazing! I love using them in my albums.

I actually bought some yarn to teach myself how to make some for myself, but I haven't found enough time to sit and watch a video to do it.

We had more SNOW on Friday. I couldn't believe how long it snowed. It was a powdery snow, not good enough to make a snowman with. Lacie still enjoyed playing in it. Within a few hours on Saturday morning, it was gone in our front yard. I was shocked it melted so fast!!

Anyway, we are SUPPOSED to get more tomorrow....hmmm.. I just don't know I can see that happening again. It is odd we get three snow falls in a year here.

So much for GLOBAL WARMING huh?

LOL!

Have a great day.

Tammie :)

BRRR! It is so cold here!

2010-02-05T17:40:00.000-05:00

I hope these three pictures all show up, if not, I will add them in just a bit. I listed a chipboard album last night and a two page layout, plus a simple set of cards.

We were quite busy yesterday, Lacie went to a birthday party for two of her classmates, the twins, at Monkey Joes. Once she loosened up, she had a blast. Then we met went out for a dinner at Logans with Rick and it was late when got home, so I rushed to get these pictures up and the listing on eBay. It was late when I finally got all three revised and posted, but I did it!!

I will check back and see if this posts correctly....

Finally Thursday night's listings. :)

2010-01-31T21:31:00.000-05:00

Here's a picture of one of the listings I put on eBay on Thursday night. The paper is really sparkly, and glittered but it is very hard to see in the pictures.

To see both sets of pages, search BTDL on eBay. I still haven't figured out how to get a link up to the actual auction. Any one know how? lol!

Sweet Paper Dreams !

Tammie :)

Tigers, elephants, and SNOW for us !!

2010-01-31T19:34:00.000-05:00

I can't believe we FINALLY got a small amount of SNOW on Friday. That just doesn't happen much here in Gastonia.

This Friday we went to the Ringling Brother's Circus in Charlotte. We met Lacie's preschool class there and we had a wonderful time. I was utterly AMAZED she sat through the show. I am so happy she is starting to do well on her ADD medicine. It was nice to see her be able to sit through something.

The other big news was our snow!! It started Friday afternoon, and we got some sleet mixed in with it. bUt Lacie and Rick still went our yesterday morning to play for a bit. She didn't like the sleet blowing in her face so after about 15 minutes, she ASKED to come in. And of course I had hot chocolate waiting for her. :)

I listed two set's of pages on Thursday night, but I had to get to bed early since we were were going to the early show, so I didn't get to post these new listings here.

I will be back in just a bit to post the pages, it is time to get Lacie wind down for bedtime, be back later...

Opps!

2010-01-22T00:21:00.000-05:00

Let's try that again! Still trying to figure out what I keep doing wrong on posting pictures to show up. Hope this works. I should be in bed! LOL!

Tear Bear "LOVE" Premade Pages

2010-01-21T23:08:00.001-05:00

Well, it's Thursday night and I just got these two listings up on eBay. The first one is a set of premade pages that would be super cute for Valentines Day. I love the papers I used on this set. I have had them awhile just sitting here waiting for me to decide what to do with them. I feel good that I finally used something I have had for sometime! :)

Oh if I only had a dollar for every sheet of paper I have here in my scrap studio! ... LOL!

Anyway.. I also listed this chipboard album tonight. It is so cute, and I love this paper to!! It is by Daisy Bucket .

I really thought I would get more listings up this week, but I am really tired and I have had to crash a few evenings this week. I decided I would listen to my body and give it a break.

The weather here has been really crazy this week. Yesterday it was in the 60's, and today it was back in the 30's with REALLY cold rain ALL DAY long.

So that's all for tonight. I surely hope to get more done by next Thursday. FINGERS CROSSED XX. :)

New Designer Purse Album

2010-01-15T00:08:00.000-05:00

Thanks for stopping by tonight. I listed this Designer Purse Album (TM) Thursday night on eBay. I really fell in love with this paper when I saw it. I love pink and black together, so it screamed at me when I saw it.

I am finally better from the sinus infection I had for a few weeks. It was one of the worst ones I have had. Now that I am feeling better, I hope to get more listings up next week. I have some really cute paper I want to use for a few Valentines Day layouts and possibly a few albums.

The one album I am wanting to get done is just a vision in my head, it will be a vintage, shabby type album. I am gathering the goodies and trinkets to get it done.

I am calling it a night, hope you enjoy the new album.

**SWEET PAPER DREAMS**

Tammie :)

Here is my latest listings on eBay

2010-01-07T23:27:00.000-05:00

Good evening all! I just listed these single 12 x 12 layouts tonight on eBay. I am still under the weather so i didn't get as much done as I wanted this week. I have been seeing Valentines Day pretties EVERYWHERE!! That got me in the mood for these two pages.

I also bought this STUNNING paper made by PRIMA at one of the craft stores I shop at. I bought the only two sheets they had. LOL! One for me to make Miss Lacie a pretty page for her scrapbook and one to sell for someone who like the paper also.

I had to take the pictures inside tonight, we are "SUPPOSED" to get some flurries this evening, but nothing yet. No big surprise there, we RARELY get a snowflake here, let alone enough to play in. I love to watch the snow fall , it is so peaceful.... and have you ever "LISTENED" to it fall ? what a wonder!

Well, thank you for stopping by to see what is new with me. I am heading to my couch to unwind before bed time.

**SWEET PAPER DREAMS**

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 !!!

2009-12-31T22:21:00.001-05:00

I am feeling kinda lousey this evening, still fighting the sinus stuff in my head. YUK. I listed this album tonight, but I still need to take my pictures took to write the listing, which will not probably happen tonight. I wanted the listing to end next week on Thursday so I went ahead and listed it.

It has a vintage flair to it. I used K & Company papers, Primas, rub-ons, and flourish stamps to create this album.

I hope everyone has a safe and Happy New Year!!

Blessings!

Tammie :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 !!!

2009-12-31T15:32:00.000-05:00

Hi, the year has flown by for me. I just can't believe tomorrow starts a fresh new month and a fresh new year.

I have a new album I will be listing in a few hours. It is an acrylic "FAMILY" word album. I have been sick this week so I had to rest. :(

We are heading out early tomorrow to do a little shopping. Miss Lacie wants to go to the DISNEY STORE and look for more dress up shoes. LOL! She loves to dress up in her princess clothes. I hope to stop by a scrap store and see if anyone has any new Valentine papers out yet. It may be too early , but it never hurts to look eh?

If you plan on going out tonight, please be safe! I will be back later to post a picture of my new album.

Happy Birthday!

2009-12-27T18:35:00.000-05:00

Well, we celebrated Lacie's birthday today. She had a "Little Mermaid" party. She had a great time and everything went smoothly.

I have been super busy with Christmas and getting her birthday planned. Not to mention she has been sick and so have I. Yucky sinus stuff!!

I will be back to listing this week. I have an acrylic word album, "FAMILY", that I will be listing and I hope to get a few layouts ready also.

I hope everyone has had a awesome Christmas this year and hope the New Year is wonderful to everyone.

Have a great Sunday!

Tammie :)

Here is my latest listings..

2009-12-19T11:41:00.000-05:00

Happy Saturday! Can you believe Christmas is in less than one week?? Where has this month gone? I have been hustling around trying to get things done. I had four teacher gifts to get ready, and I have two more albums I need to get completed before next week. Fingers crossed I get them done.

We had a light dusting of snow yesterday, but it turned into sleet and then rain. I am kinda glad it wasn't a big one. Lacie has a cold and I would rather her stay in while she is sick.

Anywho... here is my newest listings that went up on Thursday night. I FINALLY did a New Moon paper bag album. I offered it as a BIN in case someone wanted it as a Christmas gift. I also did a one page layout. It has a shabby, vintage look to it. I used the lovely paper by WEBSTER'S Pages to create it. Then I also did a two page layout I titled, "DEFINE "NAUGHTY" ". I listed them to end on Tuesday night since Christmas Eve is next Thursday. Not a real good night to have auctions end.

Here they are, thank you for stopping by ! Have a MERRY CHRISTMAS and a HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Tammie :)

TGIF !

2009-12-11T17:06:00.000-05:00

WOW! What a BUSY, BUSY week for me. Whew! I am so happy to say TGIF! I have been running here, there and trying to get Christmas stuff done, Lacie's birthday planned, going to the doctor, taking Lacie to the doctor.

I didn't have time to take my pictures yesterday, so hopefully I can get that done on Saturday and get them listed for a five day listing.

I have a two page layout ready, and a single page layout. I have also started a New Moon album that I will be trying to get finished. I have been having such fun making layouts that my New Moon albums haven't been on my mind. My dear friend August, who does the most AMAZING albums inspired me to get one started. THANK YOU Aug, ((HUGS)). :)

Well, I am starting dinner, I better get off here. I have been wanting chicken strips for several days so that is dinner tonight. :)

Hope you are enjoying the Christmas season. :)

Tammie :)

I just listed these two albums and two sets of premade pages on eBay.

I worked super hard to get them all listed tonight. I hope you enjoy them,

Have a great evening, I am heading to the couch for a little R & R . :)

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

2009-11-27T00:28:00.000-05:00

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

OH MY.. I just realized it is now FRIDAY! LOL! Opps! I have been working away on getting these listings up for the last 4 hours. It was such a dreary, overcast day here today and I couldn't take my pictures outside or even by the window. I had to take all my pictures at night after Miss Lacie was in bed. (big yawn from me).

Anyways.. I did manage to get three new listings up tonight. I listed the CHRISTMAS Designer Purse Album and two set of 12 x 12 pages.

Take a peek at them...

I wish I knew how to add the links so you could just click on the picture to see them, but I haven't figured that one out yet. I will figure it out, hopefully real soon. In the meantime, just type BTDL to search my listings on eBay. I also put my name in most all of my listings. (Tammie)

I am heading to the couch to unwind with a little bit of cheescake my sweet sister made for our dinner today. Everything was awesome as always, and it was good to see my family today. We have such different schedules it makes it hard to get together at the same time. I hope everyone enjoyed their day, and PLEASE, PLEASE be careful if you are heading out to shop today.

Have a great night all!
Tammie :)

Happy Thanksgiving Eve!

2009-11-25T21:45:00.000-05:00

Hi, here it is.. the "EVE" of Thanksgiving. :) I should be getting a few things ready for tomorrow but I am super exhausted tonight. I had to get more lab work done today and then I had to tackle Wal-mart for groceries. YIKES!! Thankfully I decided to go way earlier than normal, it was getting really busy at 10:30, so me and Miss Lacie hurried to get our groceries and get back home.

Tomorrow we will go to my Mom's for dinner. We (my mom, me and my sister) always split up the the cooking. let's see... I am fixing a ham, mac & cheese, deviled eggs and a banana pudding. My mom is cooking the turkey, dressing and a few other things. My sister likes to do most of the baking so she is handling the desserts.

Tomorrow I will take the pictures for my new listings tomorrow night. I have a Christmas Designer Purse album, two 2 page layouts and also a chipboard album. I am not sure if I will list them all tomorrow night due to the fact it is Thanksgiving night.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving and if you go out shopping on black Friday, "Be Safe".

warm wishes!

Tammie :)

My next creations under way..

2009-11-22T00:19:00.000-05:00

Happy Saturday night or Sunday morning...

I am finishing things up for the day. I am still wide awake though. I had the urge for something sweet tonight and made brownies at 9:00pm. I wasn't thinking about the chocolate keeping me pumped. LOL!
They were good though. :)

I finished my chipboard album last night, and I jumped back into a CHRISTMAS Designer Purse Album that I started about two weeks ago. I had started it and had to stop due to some health issues and then I couldn't get back into it... So... tonight I forced myself to get back into it so that I can list it this week. I like it so far. I am using the SWELL NOEL paper and embellishments by K & Company. I know I have said OVER & OVER that K & Company is my favorite paper line. I guess it's because they put such nice embellishments to go with their papers. It makes it go so smooth having everything to match.

I hope to have a nice amount of listings this week so I better get busy!

**SWEET PAPER DREAMS**

Here is Tuesday night's listing's

2009-11-20T18:38:00.000-05:00

I listed these two sets of pages on Tuesday instead of my normal Thursday night listings due to they would end on Thanksgiving day.

Here is the first one:

and the second set:

I am almost finished with a 6 x 6 chipboard album also. I used the new paper by DCWV called SAFFRON to create that album. Love the papers!! So colorful and bright.

I heard NEW MOON was AWESOME and blew Twilight off the map! I can't until I go see it...

Have a great evening!
Tammie :)

OPPS... I did it again! ...

2009-11-19T19:05:00.000-05:00

I went MIA again! So sorry. Lots... too much., way too much going on. I just have had too much on my plate and didn't feel like chatting.

I have several layouts ending tonight, four of them have bids! YEA!!

I listed two on Tuesday night and one tag card. I figured I had better get them up early since next Thursday is Thanksgiving.. not a good night to end an auction.

I am starting a chipboard album tonight and also I have already started a Christmas Designer Purse album. I should have those both done by next week along with some more goodies. :)

And can you believe in 5 hours.. NEW MOON is finally, finally here!!

OMG! I won't be seeing this weekend, but I do plan on going in the next few weeks with my niece, Monica. She is a Twunkie just like her dear ole auntie!

I will be back later to post a picture of my latest eBay listings after Miss Lacie is in bed. Rough week at school for her. One step forward, three steps back...

BBL

Here are the latest items listed on ebay

2009-10-31T21:41:00.000-04:00

Can you believe this is the last day of October already?? It sure did fly by here for me. Well... with October ending, that means the release of NEW MOON on November 20th, I just can't wait! I am so excited. I never go to see movies, but I plan on taking my neice to see this one. I will be working on a NM album to list hopefully this week. I haven't made up my mind yet if it will be a purse album or a paper bag album.. hmmm..

I still don't have my laptop back.. WAHHH!! :( I really miss it, we should be reunited this Tuesday! YEA!! :)

I plan learning some more of this blog stuff where I can post better links to my listings, auctions and places I visit. I don't have a lot of free time to sit and learn that type of stuff, so I am going to ask my scrap sisters at BTDL to help me. They are the sweetest group of gals, so happy to be a part of the team. :)

I listed these layouts on eBay this Wednesday and Thursday. I know I am behind on sharing them, but this desktop computer has been so SLOW on me, I didn't have the patience to wait on it...little did I know my DH was on his laptop in the next room downloading a movie to watch and it was freezing up this computer. Geesh!! anyways....

Here is what I listed:

These are all listed on eBay. If you search BTDL. you will find them there..

Have a great night and see you in NOVEMBER. :)

Tammie:)
**SWEET PAPER DREAMS**

Happy Sunday!

2009-10-25T20:49:00.002-04:00

Oh my goodness... I have to apololize for not keeping up on my blog these last few weeks. I have been super busy and just plain wore out at night. Some nights I fell asleep while trying to get my listings up for eBay and Etsy.

Also appts for Lacie, appts for me. My scrap room is taking a turn for the better. But it is such a job turning it around to make things more accessible and I am also trying to get it more organized.

My sweet DH went to IKEA and bought a new desk with drawers and aanother set of drawers on wheels that I am in LOVE with!! We couldn't empty the room to paint it, so we are just painting in sections.. I know... sounds crazy.. but we had (I had) so much stuff in here. We took down the corner desk yesterday that has the desktop computer on and moved my other desk in it's place and set the computer back up on that desk. It looks much better.

My laptop had to take a trip back to BEST BUY last week. i miss it SOOO MUCH!! They informed me it will be TWO WEEKS before it will be back. I hope it will come back sooner. This desk top is slow and I am spoiled to my fast DELL laptop. ...fingers crossed !!

I guess that's about it for now. I will post my new listings later this week and stay on track. I should have tried to get here sooner.

Hope everyone has a great week!

New acrylic album, "SHEER BLISS"

2009-10-09T14:54:00.000-04:00

I listed this all acrylic album last night on eBay. I love the papers, they are from the "MADELINE" collection from K & Company. (my favorite paper line)

This album measures 8 x 8 and has twelve cascading pages. Here is the link and a picture:

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY Day :)

2009-10-07T23:43:00.000-04:00

Well, it has been quite a busy day for me today. I am pooped! I still wanted to pop in and say "HI".

Today was Lacie's first ever field trip! and believe me when I say it was a FIELD TRIP! LOL! Her school went to visit a farm today. The trip had been planned for Thursday and it was supposed to be at a apple orchid or something like that in South Carolina. So at the last minute, they decided to take a trip to a local small farm. Which was fine with me, it was closer and she had a ball!

We went on a hayride, she fed the goats, a horse, and a donkey. They had a CORN MAZE and a HAY MAZE, plus a huge hay bale slide. When we were in the corn maze, they let them pick out little pumpkins to take home.

It was a fun day for us and wouldn't you know it, I mostly have pictures of only her backside! I just can't get her to turn around and get her picture took. lol! Oh wait.. I did get ONE front shot of her. She was sliding down the hay straw slide.

I just listed these 3 single page layouts on eBay tonight. I have to take pictures of the albums tomorrow so I can list them tomorrow night. I also managed to get an acrylic album created this week also. I sure hope the sun is bright tomorrow so I can get some clear pictures.

Check them out....

Well, I guess that's all for the night!

Sneak Peak on my latest albums

2009-10-04T18:28:00.000-04:00

Here's a sneak peak at two albums I will be listing this week. I even managed to make a card yesterday on WORLD CARD MAKING DAY. Yea!

Take a look, the first one is a paper bag album I have titled , "HAPPINESS". I have used K& Company papers in this album, plus I added a few tear bears to it.

The next album is a chipboard album I created with different shaped pieces and I used papers by Daisy Bucket. I started this album awhile back but never finished it until last night.

The card I created with some scrap papers by K& Company.
I Love how the black makes it POP.

Here they are.. take a peak....

Have a great evening :)

2009-10-02T11:45:00.000-04:00

TGIF!!

OMG!! What a week! I am so glad it is Friday ! It has been really busy for these last two weeks, doctors appts for Lacie, one for me , evaluations for Lacie, rough times at preschool for her. I am so glad I don't have any appts to do today. However, I should be doing grocery shopping, but I am NOT leaving my house today!!!

I managed to list a TRICK OR TREAT layout last night on eBay. I don't really do Halloween, but I couldn't help myself when I found this image of Linus sitting in the pumpkin patch waiting on the GREAT PUMPKIN. I love the Peanuts characters, Snoopy is my favorite. :)

I accidently deleted several of my last posts. :( I didn't mean to, I was trying to post comments and went too fast and hit delete, so that is why there are some missing posts.

DH did manage to get my bookshelf finished for my room, I was making good progress on filling it up and my bad discs in my back decided to not let me go any further. LOL! I am trying to decide my next phase of redesigning my room. I can't decide if where I want my new counter and cabinets to sit.

I am very picky and like things just so. I managed to empty most of one of the closets in my room so that I have my shipping supplies out of the way. I love that!!

Here is the layout I listed last night, not sure how it will do, but I like it. Check it out:

I am finishing up a paper bag album, I need tags cut for it and ribbons to be added. It should be completed in the next day or so. My next projects will be an acrylic album and a DESIGNER PURSE ALBUM.

Here's to a STRESS FREE day for all! :)

A new room in the making. :)

2009-09-21T11:54:00.000-04:00

So it is FINALLY going to happen! Yea!! I guess looking pitiful finally worked. LOL!

My DH has started redoing my scrap room for me. I am super duper excited.

This has to be done in stages, of course, which will be hard, but it will be so worth the wait. For starters he is building my storage unit. It will be 8 feet tall x 6 feet wide. It will sit in front of a window, so I won't have the full size for storage.

The room measures 13 x 12 feet. I want cabinets, shelves and a counter also. I know how I want it to look, just hope it can be done. The room has a fireplace and two small closets on either side of it. The other wall has a window, then the other wall has a window and the other wall has the door. So it has some challenges on each wall.

I am leaning toward a shabby look for it. I like soft pink and green. The cabinets will be white and the counter will probably be a tan or travertine (SP?) color. I have real hardwoods and want a nice area rug also. I am going to make Lacie her own scrap area. This way I could spend some daylight hours in there. Right now I keep her out of there because she is into everything. LOL!

Once the storage unit is up, I will post a picture. I am so excited this is happening now. It is a real dream come true!

Happy Hump Day!

2009-09-16T00:16:00.000-04:00

It has been week since I last posted here. The days just seem to go by so fast these days.

I am very excited to announce that I am a PROUD new member of BTDL Design team. These ladies are so talented and I feel so at home with them already. What a great group of gals!! Be sure to search BTDL to see what these talented ladies are creating.

I just listed two more tag cards this evening. I also have a NEW MOON paper bag album I will be listing in a day or two. Here is the tag cards and the NM album.

Girl "A Good Day" tag card :

Boy "A Good Day" tag card :

and finally the New Moon album:

Lacie will be having her Fall pictures made today. Her first "SCHOOL" pictures. :) I hope she can sit through it.. we shall see...

Have a great day!

New Albums Sneak Peek :)

2009-09-09T00:57:00.000-04:00

Just a quick post before I call it a day. Here are three albums I will be listing this week, probably one tomorrow night and two on Thursday. I still have to take pictures...yuk...

I also started a New Moon album tonight. I sure would like to get it up also, fingers crossed XX.

Here are the three albums:

First one is a PRINCESS 6x6 acrylic album. Super cute...

Second one is a FAMILY "Fall" theme paper bag album, Love the colors in it. It measures 6x6

Last one is a Winter theme chipboard 4x6 album. I just love MME papers.

I will post the links to them once I get them listed.

**Sweet Paper Dreams**

Happy Labor Day!

2009-09-07T20:25:00.000-04:00

Well, the whole Labor Day weekend has come and gone. My DH had the day off , but he had to re-screen in our back porch. It didn't look like it would take him that long, but you know how those things go... There is always more to do than what it APPEARS there is. None the less, it looks great! He is so handy, he has saved us THOUSANDS of dollars by doing our home repairs himself. ok.. where was I going with this....

I have two albums that I will be listing this week. One is a FAMILY "FALL" theme paper bag album, using the new MME "FALL IN LOVE" papers. The other one is a 4x6 chipboard flip WINTER theme album. I used MME Christmas Stack for it.

I am headed to my scrap room to start on an acrylic "PRINCESS" album, hopefully it will be done this week also. I have some really "BRIGHT" new bulbs in my light, kinda looks like a hospital operating room. VERY bright. Just what I wanted. :)

Lacie goes back to school tomorrow, and I hope she can have a easy day tomorrow. The teachers she has are so patient and kind to work with her like they do. SO , hoping and praying for a good week for her.

Have a great evening, I will post pictures of the new albums in a day or two before I list them.

ADORE Girl Tear Bear Premade page

2009-09-03T22:10:00.003-04:00

Here is the 12 x 12 page I listed tonight on eBay:

I am so tired, I think a bowl of ice cream is calling my name...LOL!

Have a great evening!
**SWEET PAPER DREAMS**

It's Thursday... We survived our first week of preschool. :)

2009-09-03T13:37:00.002-04:00

It's Thursday and we survived our first week of PRESCHOOL !! Yea!! Lacie started on Tuesday. It was a bit overwhelming for her and I had to pick her up early on Tuesday. She is a special needs child so we have decided to ease her into the routine by just doing two hours a day to see how well she can handle it.

She did better on Tuesday, and even managed to sit still for "Jesus Time". Today was a very busy day for her class. The girls had show and tell, boys go next week, and they had their cooking class and Chapel this morning. She did pretty good today, had a few rough spots but did pretty good.

I have been a basket of nerves this week and had headaches all week. Tuesday was a full blown migrane. Yuk. I didn't get what I wanted accomplished this week because of the headaches. I am hoping that I can get some more scrapping done this evening and this weekend.

I will be listing a cute Girl Tear bear one Page layout tonight on eBay. It has a vintage appeal to it. I have titled it "ADORE". I will post it later here tonight once things are quiet again. But for now, it is off to Wal-Mart. We need food and the TP is getting low. Gotta have my WHITE CLOUD!! LOL!

TTFN...

Check this out....

Happy Thursday all!!

I am trying to play catch up ! LOL! I was going to post this album last week, but I never made it here. It is listed on eBay, and is getting ready to end, I sure hope it sales. Things are so slow with everyone getting their kiddos back in school.

Take a peek anyway.....

TGIF!!

2009-08-07T17:17:00.000-04:00

Here it is Friday already. I listed this NEW MOON album last night on eBay. It is a paper bag album, 12 pages including the front and back covers. This is LOADED with pictures from the movie. I just can't wait to see it! :)

Here it is:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220463686614&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT

I see it already has a bid! YEA!! :) Things are slow on eBay right now with school getting ready to start. It is hard to believe summer is winding down.

Ok... take a look and see what you think....

WHERE HAS THE SUMMER GONE??

2009-08-04T20:43:00.000-04:00

I can't believe this is the 4th day of August already. Where has the time gone?? I didn't realize I hadn't posted in TWO months!! OMG!! (hiding my face in shame!) LOL! I must get better at this.

I have been really busy making customs New Moon albums, and trying to keep things on eBay and some in Etsy. Not to mention all that is going on with my sweet little one.
Long story... just praying things will get better for her.

She loves playing in our pool, so that is so much fun to see her enjoy it. She has the fairest skin, just like her mommy. I really lube her up with sunscreen when we go. I must have missed a small spot on her face, she now has about two or three tiny freckles under her eye. Looks so stinkin cute!

Well, I am hoping to get this new album listed on eBay Thursday night, a New Moon paper bag album. I have a splitting headache tonight, but I still plan on doing something.

My apologies to the followers I have, for being such a SLACKER!! I think I should set up a time to blog every day and make it routine....

Wish me luck on that~ :)

Hey... 107 days to the release of NEW MOON!!! WOO-HOO!! can't wait. :)

2009-06-03T16:37:00.000-04:00

This NEW MOON purse album will be listed on eBay tonight. I like how it turned out, I can't wait to see the movie in November.. what a long time to wait. The trailer was released on Sunday and it looks like it will be GREAT..!!

I am a Proud new member of MLDT on eBay. I simply love this group of ladies. They are absolute sweethearts! I had alot going o before I joined the team, and still have a pretty full plate. I resigned as team leader from my former team. I am thrilled though to be back in a very active group. I will be adding thier blogs to mine so you can all check out thier beautiful work.

It is great to be back, I have some great Twi items on ebay I will share with you all also. Check back to see what is new!

I am the PROUD leader of an amazing design team called "Tickled Pink Over Paper" or you can find us by searching TPOP on eBay.

I can also be found on Etsy at, "lacie1228.etsy.com".

Thank you for stopping in.
