Fun with Metal


Hate to start with "I'm so excited" again, but... I am!! I recently saw some cards made using pipe wrapping aluminum tape in a magazine and as usual I thought to myself that someday I would LOVE to try that technique! I gotta be honest, I rarely do! How nice it is to live with someone who actually knows what the stuff is! Saves me that horrifying trip to the boy's toy store. Would much rather spend my time in a scrapbooking store anyday! So, we pick up some of the stuff and it is SO easy to use! I attached it to some paper & ran a ton of it through my Cuttlebug. I have a pile of samples to add into my next few hundred card designs - those of you with birthdays coming up can be expecting that metal look on your cards. As for more personal news, Howie & I got a nice, quiet breakfast for 2 yesterday morning, which was nice. Then we got to do our errands in peace before we picked Ethan up from his birthday party for an evening of movies & games! It was a great day!

I'm a new blogger!!

I'm so excited!! Can't quite believe I'm doing this & not exactly sure what to say at this point. I've been reading other blogs and thinking about how cool they are - who knew they were this easy! My plan is to use this medium to keep my family & friends up-to-date on my day to day doings. I keep hearing about how bad I am at keeping in touch with everyone, so hopefully this will help. Ethan has a birthday party to go to today & I've been thinking about what to do with myself while he's gone. Since Howie's working & I'll be alone with the kitties, I might spend my free 4 hours scrapbooking! I'm going to have plenty of free time this weekend as Ethan has 2 parties booked this weekend alone. I'm gonna love the free time, but not the expense. Well, I'm off to drop him off & get this party started.
