I did it
December.31.2009 
If you were here with me at the beginning of the year you might remember one of my goals for 2009 was to read all of Jodi Picoult’s books. Well I did it. I finished the last one yesterday. Can you believe it? That was cutting it close 
. What should I read now?
Oh Katy
Some people thought I was crazy when I said stainless steel water bottle. Here is the proof. Oh, and yes there is only water in it.
Christmas Shopping
I haven’t had much time to do anything crafty lately. I did make a card on Saturday night that I will have to share with you all soon. My family came to visit and we did some Christmas shopping. I always have fun when I go somewhere with my sister, but boy did my feet hurt at the end of the day.

I have been watching this challenge blog (Sketchy Thursdays) through my blog reader for a couple weeks now and when I saw they were giving away Copic markers this week I thought I’d give it a try. I already have all my Christmas cards done, but I made another one especially for this (and the chance to use some more of the new Christmas paper I got 
).
Woohoo
My iphone is at my house. I need to go home now! How am I supposed to work the rest of the day knowing that box is sitting there waiting for me to rip into it???
So excited
Well, guess what I ordered today? An iPhone! Okay, so I’m very excited. It’s refurbished, but I saved $150. That’s cool, right?
Oh and guess what else I got? Some Copic markers. Great deals at Taylored Expressions for Black Friday.
Yeah, I’m excited.

I have had close to zero motivation to make anything lately. I was starting to think I was burnt out.
My crafty friend Katy shared this blog with me last week called Scrap and Stamp. It sure looks like they have some great challenges. I just loved the sketch they have on their right now, so I decided to try it.
I didn’t realize just how many products I used to make this page until I started to write them down! But I guess that’s how it always is.

Other: Antique Linen Tim Holtz Distressing Powder
Some of my friends have been wondering what the distressing powder is like. Well, you apply it just like you would embossing powder. After you heat set it, you let it cool. Then you take your finger and rub it, as if you were sanding it. It ends up with an interesting rough finish. It’s best if you use a stamp without a lot of detail with it, in my opinion. Here’s a close up of where I used it on this project:
Where am I?
Little blog, I’ve been neglecting you. Just so you know, I’ve been thinking of you. Here’s a card:
Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I believe all the stamps used on this card are by Studio G. You have to see the inside too!
Random thought for the day: Nothing stinks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you’re wrong.
