Girls’s Retreat

I went with two of my friends up to our cabin, for a couple of days and it was so fun to just relax and enjoy fun friendships, go shopping, crafting, and of course eating!  We got there in the evening and we each had brought a project to work on, but we were having too much fun just talking and laughing to do them!

But I found these fun little scrapbook kits at a garage sale last weekend, so I busted them out and we started working on them while we continued to visit.

Ribbon Storage Closet

I promised that I would show you my ribbon closet someday, and now that someday is here!  I have a fetish for ribbon and when I owned a scrapbook store we had a great selection of ribbons and I was always adding to it.  When I closed the store down, I brought home about 1/4 of the bolts of ribbons.  We sold all the rest, but I still came home with 2 racks of ribbon!  I told you I have a fetish!  Most of this is what I came home with.Then I added to this collection with a lot of ribbons from Costco.  They come on these big rolls, so I put them on spring curtain rods.  I added the shelf to work on.  I know that it is not fancy, but it does the job! I have the shelf in the corner for future ribbons!  You wouldn’t want me to run out of ribbon now would you?

Shopping finds!

When my husband and I went on our little vacation a couple of weeks ago, I went shopping at several fun stores that we don’t have in Utah.  One of the first stops is always Scrapbooks Etc. but now it is Scrapbooks and fabric!  Twice the fun!  I love to look at all the fun ideas in this shop and it is always at the top of my list of shopping stops!  I could spend a couple of hours in this store just drooling over all the fun products and displays that they have!  I picked out a few pieces of fabric for a new purse that I want to make.And I got this “Smash Book”  ( When I told my husband that I got a “Smash Book”, he looked at me funny and said, “you bought a book about mammograms?”  He thought that he was so funny!)
