Hi Everyone,
I am so excited to say I won a bloggie prize from She's Crafty!  Here is her bloggie address:

Now, first off let me just give Kris a huge SHOUT OUT of THANKS!  Here it is:

THANKS KRIS!!!!!!!!!

WOW! wish that was a bit bigger and with a drum roll and cymbal. But Kris knows I am thankful.  I just want to say that I admire people who have blogs that inspire and Kris's is for sure one.  The prize win came from her blog post "Finish it Friday"  Why I loved this concept so much is because I sit in a room that is filled (and I mean filled!) with half finished and not even started projects (PLEASE do not ask me discuss the air eraser etching tool or the vinyl glass block projects)(ummm.... I not going to mention my BOSSES grandmothers 7 needlepoints that are here waiting to be cleaned and remounted after floating in a basement flood from hurricane Irene which was back in August!)  OK so my plate is a bit full.  It's OK because Kris has the solution.  See I made the list and I am going to "Finish It Friday".  So to my Boss, I say "you will see your Grandmother's needlepoint prior to June.  To my Granddaughter I say "We will have the Valentine's ready for school by Feb. 14. To my friend Donna I say "the 200 pin back buttons will be ready before you leave for Florida for the wedding and don't worry we will get those library volunteer gifts done too!" To my dear Hubs I say "I will use the air eraser and aluminum oxide you bought me, so no you did not throw $100.00 down the crapper.  and most of all to Kris I say Thanks bloggie do gooder, your inspiration is worth more than you know.
I am signing off because it is Friday and that means it is time to:

FINISH IT!

Have a great week end and thanks again Kris!

WOW! I WON!!

Look what came to play in my craftroom!  I am so excited!  Craftcritique had offered up this oh so cool xyron 9 inch adhesive runner as a prize for entering a tutorial for any project you have made.  So I posted the diaper cake video from 2007.  AND I won!!  It was so exciting watching the voting for over a week.  Everyone here was glued to the website.  I must say there were so many neat projects and entries.  I voted for Valita's heart couple.  Paul and I have actually made the heart punch couple from her tutorial.  Valita does amazing things. What I love so much about her art is that she shows you how to use punches you own in a different way.  People please the woman can make flowers out of the stampin up owl punch.  Now that is an artist!  I entered my diaper cake video.  To be honest it is the only tutorial I have.  I would love to make more videos and more tutorials.  Maybe I will now.  I just wanted to thank everyone who voted for my video and give a special shout out to my daughter Samantha, and my best girl Nadine, my hubs Pauly and my friend Jason for their constant support, friendship and for putting up with my twisted self.  Thanks again to everyone and to craftcritique too.  I just can't wait to play with xyron runner.  I am blessed to have so many people around me who continually inspire me to keep on crafting.  THANKS TO EVERYONE .....Now go make yourself a diaper cake or CALL ME and I'll make one for ya!
