I Love Instagram

Hello happy mail! I won this kit on Instagram from Blinks of Life! The Sugar & Spice kit! Love it! You will see this included in my projects in the near future! =) Thanks so much again BoL! 

I also won this stamp set from Waffle Flower Crafts on Instagram! It's perfect for planners/filofax or Project Life! Love it! They have more sets that have made it onto my Wish List! With such busy days & so many details/appts to remember, I decided to go old school again and purchase a planner. Except I use the calendar on my iPhone constantly bcuz I can schedule months in advance w/out the bulk. I think I finally decided on a notebook I just recently bought. My plan is to use a page per day, use my stamps etc to help me keep organized, and of course, make it cute! *wink 

The set I won is called: Planner - Stay Focused

My IG friend @jcchris aka Jessy and I won two pillows each from the Online Fabric Store via Gina of @shabbycreek on Instagram! And we got to pick out our very own pillows! We had quite the selection and I choose these two because I love embroidery & those colors! 

What do you think?! They have a bunch on sale too! But once they're gone, they're gone! Thx again Gina & OFS! xo

Another IG prize I won was from Neat and Tangled. Yes, on Instagram. Gotta love IG!! I won a $50 gift certificate! whoohoo! Yes & I just placed my order too! You must visit their store & make a wish list for Santa! I will share my picks when they arrive!

And one last one! I won 100 Americana Acrylic Paint colors from Deco Art on their blog over a month ago, but because they were missing a few colors still... they held off putting in the mail. Then the box arrived!! Cue the paint angels! I kept 3 bottles out of the photo too! I wanted even lines! =)

Okay, so I didn't really win this beauty... however, we did make the switch to the ginormous iphones from our 4s'. Love it! And yes, we are a proud Apple family. She sure is pretty in gold! Love my 6plus!

October isn't over yet & it was an awesome one so far! Have a great weekend!

My Mac is Back!

Whoohoo! I've been without since the first week in a July! NO joke! End result? New video card. Ugh. But it's back and beautiful! Whoohoo! Now I can get on w/my scrapbook posts & get caught up! Hello & I've missed you. Oh yes, don't forget to add the TONS of emails I need to sort through & delete. Fun times ahead. Am I the only one with a to-do and want-to-do list that will span here in AZ to the Brooklyn Bridge?! Oh let me add my sew-to-do list as well as my project-want-to-create list?! And... last but not least, my Project Life list. And now that our youngest is back in school and soccer has really never stopped for all three girls, yes all my mommy-lists can wait once again. Not forever, more like slow mode. I hope the upcoming months will offer me more time somehow. Wishful thinking I know but I have to stay positive!

Speaking of positive... Do you read She Reads Truth? They offer devotionals & you can choose which plan to follow. I love the positive feelings I'm left with & I hope to have my girls following soon. There's so much more behind it all but I'll leave you to visit the website & form your own opinions. I'd love to hear back what your thoughts were on it all!

Ok back to my Mac & this blog! So much has happened this month and saying goodbye to 2peas. I'm going to miss the Garden Girls and all the videos too! Wilna, Paige Evans & Janna Werner just to name a few. I know Janna had just completed her term but I still miss her! And yes, I visit her blog! I have a scrap-envy-lust-list too! ha! That sounds funny. Oops!

I hope to have more posts up real soon! Just bare with me!

Have an awesome day & let's chat soon!

Click Happy

I can not stop. It's a virus I tell you. I see a link on Twitter & I click. If it's crafty, I'll stay & read. If it's shabby, has birds, owls, fabric, scrapbooking, digital frames, love the colors, re-decorate, upcycle... I'll stay reading away. If  a button on the side catches my eye, I'll click it. I will also click on that 'follow by google connect' button as well. If there's a giveaway? I'll click it if I like it & enter. I just wish there wasn't 5 ways to enter bcuz then when I step away from my Mac, I will leave 5 windows open 'to get to later' to enter. Never happens.

Am I the only one who is click happy? I can easily sit here & look at the clock and see that 2 hrs have passed me by! I don't have the extra time for that! Today though, I did stay in my pjs, relax w/my girls, watched Mr. Ty on Extreme Makeover & shed some tears (how could one not??), ate a new flavor of Ben&Jerry's Everything but the... (I got a wee bit tired of the Coffee Heath Bar Crunch day after day!) this one has a little bit of everything! Try it & let me know what you think!

Why are all the blogs filled w/giveaways? I get that we are all trying to get our shops out there but what happened to the old school way of blogging? Have family, friends & new friends via Twitter & blogs come visit & leave some comment love? I miss it. I still take lotsa of pix & need to post them too ... I was just wondering.

You know what though? It always comes back to me clicking away again! Either here at home, my iPhone or iPad. Apple has been able to complete me. {heehee}

Enjoy clicking away! What's your addiction?
