6 May 2012 I'm back!
Hi everyone,
Sorry took me a couple of weeks to get back to my blog, hope everyone understands, I know you will because all of you are such a good friends and followers. But let's stop talking about that and let me start talking about what I did during the last couple of weeks. I have been a little busy with my daughter ( I homeschool her), working in some home projects and, of course, my crafts and my projects.
Here are the pictures of my haul:
I found these wood pieces $0.29 cents each on clearance, so I thought I might be able to use them in my scrapbooking room as decoration.
So, just when I thought I had my order ready to pay these items were discovered:
- 20 sponge brushes for a dollar, so just .05cents a piece. Can you do better than that?
-The little Recollections stickers were only $0.69 cents
The tape was on clearance for only $1.79 a piece.
The Celebrate it Ribbon were just $1.00 a roll.
This Designer Mat Pad has 96 sheets and it cost me just $2.99
Of course I have to stop by the craft section at Walmart, so I ended up buying a set of Inkadinkado inks in earth tones. Two buttlerflys punches from EKsuccess, and a new hot glue gun with fine tip.
Like always at the last minute when I am about to go and pay I discovered new Fisckars kids stamps which I thought there were perfect for kids' parties or when you have a card making party at your house you don't have to worry about the kids using your good stamps (I know I do). I believe I paid $2.79 each.
Now let's move to ROSS, I've never been at the craft section in Ross before, until my friend told me to go and check, and this is what I found; a pack of cardstock (150) for only........keep looking...
And last but not least I wanted to show you about my new nail polish my husband brought me from Puerto Rico. I have never been able to find this brand here in the US, so if you know a place please let me know immediately because I love this brand of nail polish. This nail polish brand is Bettina and this particular one I am using is called Pink Bikini. In the picture it looks kind of red but in reality is a hot pink. Gorgeous
Hope everyone has enjoyed my haul. Soon I'll be talking about the book "The Magic", I've heard so many good things about it that I really can't wait to start.
Also I have been working on some scrabooking, birthday cards, and mother's day cards projects, so I'll be posting pictures soon.
I'll be talking about make up a little bit just because I have a few requests from some friends from the Ballet company were my daughter dances (I do there professional makeup during shows). And we might add a little bit of fashion....who knows.
Just stay tune for what is coming up. Bye!

But let's stop talking about that and let me start talking about what I did during the last couple of weeks. I have been a little busy with my daughter ( I homeschool her), working in some home projects and, of course, my crafts and my projects.
Here are the pictures of my haul:
So let's start with Michaels:
I found this pair of scissors right at the register and it cost me just $1.49. I've used them already and they work pretty well.
Usually Enamel accents sell for $5.99 or more, I found this at Michaels on clearance for only $1.99
That was amazing!
This was a little find that I couldn't let myself pass. The acrylic paint was .29 cents each on clearance, and the nail files I believe were $1.50 but I love the colors...... you ladies understand that, right???
These inks were a great find, they were 40% off. These are my first TH destress Inks, I know I should buy more, I paid only $2.99 each.
I used to have the Martha Stewart set of glitter but I gave them to my sister and now I didn't have a set, so I couldn't let this deal pass. 50% off, so I paid just $14.99.
I found these wood pieces $0.29 cents each on clearance, so I thought I might be able to use them in my scrapbooking room as decoration.
In the next two pictures we have some recollections flowers that were on clearance for $4.99, both border punches from EKsuccess were 40% off and I believe I paid $7.99 for one and $8.99 for the other one. The Recollection Stamp set was on clearance for only $2.99 and finally I used my 40% coupon to buy some refill tape for my ATG gun.
- 20 sponge brushes for a dollar, so just .05cents a piece. Can you do better than that?
-The little Recollections stickers were only $0.69 cents
The tape was on clearance for only $1.79 a piece.
The Celebrate it Ribbon were just $1.00 a roll.
So, these concludes Michaels' haul. Let's move to Walmart now.
I went to Walmart and the first thing I saw as soon I walked in to the store was the book The Magic by Rhonda Byrne. I had heard about this book on DulceCandy's blog and she said so many amazing things about this book that I couldn't let it pass. So the regular price was $12.99 but it was 20% off so I paid only $10.39 for it. Of course I will give my review as soon as I finish the book
Of course I have to stop by the craft section at Walmart, so I ended up buying a set of Inkadinkado inks in earth tones. Two buttlerflys punches from EKsuccess, and a new hot glue gun with fine tip.
Stopped by the scrapbooking section and I found some new Studio G products, paper tape in different colors, some metallic markers, and rhinestones in a flower shape. Also, at the clearance section Walmart had some Cricut lite cartridges so I decided to take DUDE! because I don't have that many cartridges dedicate to boys. Ah, and some ink too.
Like always at the last minute when I am about to go and pay I discovered new Fisckars kids stamps which I thought there were perfect for kids' parties or when you have a card making party at your house you don't have to worry about the kids using your good stamps (I know I do). I believe I paid $2.79 each.
Now let's move to ROSS, I've never been at the craft section in Ross before, until my friend told me to go and check, and this is what I found; a pack of cardstock (150) for only........keep looking...
Yes, just $4.99. I've already used some and they're a good quality cardstock.
Then I went to Joanns and was able to find the Fiskars texture plates, assortments 2, I am planning to use them with a cuttlebug I ordered from ebay (used). I'm scared to break my new V2. I also found Fiskars tags stamps.
Moving on to Target:
Although I consider myself a fiskateer because I have every single scissors from the company I wanted to buy this set form EKsuccess for the same reason I bought the stamps from fiskars at Walmart. So I can give it to kids to play, and of course I'll be using them too. lol
No this is not for me, this is for my daughter, I think is so cute that I decide to post a picture of it. This bathing suit came up for less that $40.00, which I think it is great.
During my time at Target I felt like I wanted to change my nail color so I went and got myself a bottle of nails polish remover which worked perfect, it was pure acetone. And then I bought a pale pink nail polish.
And last but not least I wanted to show you about my new nail polish my husband brought me from Puerto Rico. I have never been able to find this brand here in the US, so if you know a place please let me know immediately because I love this brand of nail polish. This nail polish brand is Bettina and this particular one I am using is called Pink Bikini. In the picture it looks kind of red but in reality is a hot pink. Gorgeous
Hope everyone has enjoyed my haul. Soon I'll be talking about the book "The Magic", I've heard so many good things about it that I really can't wait to start.

Hello everyone!
Today has been an excellent day. Although I have been crafting for years I am new to posting my projects on facebook and my blog. So for the last two days I decided to dedicate a little more time to facebook and this is what happened. I posted a picture of the card I made for my daughter's friend that got accepted to the Swedish Royal Ballet and the Sympathy Card and I got a lot of positives feedback. It made me feel so good. Not only that, I also was able to make over fifty new friends in like three hours I was online. I was able to talk to some of them. I had a long conversation with a lady from Argentina, who told me she was so inpired by my cards. Isn't that awesome? The time went so fast that when I checked my clock was almost one o' clock in the morning and I still had to post on my blog. Wow, Thanks everyone for your support.
Have a blessed day and stay tuned!

Sympathy Card
April 20, 2012
Hello everyone!
Although I love making cards, today I had to make one for something I don't like. A sympathy card for one of my daughter's ballet classmate who just lost her grandfather. It is so hard when a person looses a family member. I wish no one has to go through. So, even though I enjoyed making the card, I know for a fact that the person reciving the card at the other end won't be that happy.
My daughter wrote inside: "Wishing you confort in friendship and hope in prayer" she got the quote from the internet, and I believe it is the perfect one.
Stay tuned!

As I have mentioned in my last blog, I really want to catch up with everything that is happening in my life and around me. Let me start commenting about a very great news for us. Like you all know I am the proud mother of a sixteen year old who loves to dance. So in the last couple of weeks her best friend from ballet class got accepted to the Swedish Royal Ballet. She is an excellent dancer and a wonderfull human being. She has worked so hard for this moment that all of us around her can feel what she is feeling at this moment. My entire family is so proud of you, like you are one of us. So of course, we cannot let the opportunity pass to make her a handmade card to congratulate her. Hope you enjoy all the time to come. Here is a picture of the card we made to make you understand how proud we all are of you.
Another thing I want to mention is that Tanner (MrCricutcrazy), who has been coaching me with my blog "thank you Tanner", has a member of his design team who just had a baby boy and another member who is expecting a baby girl "Congratulation to both of them on their new baby". So I decided to make both of them a little something for their babies, and this is what I came up with.

These are baby blankets that I crocheted on their borders. Aren't they gourgious? (yes, I crochet too)
These are the matching cards that will go with the blankets. Love the baby's scene, so unique.
Hope you ladies enjoy the little gifts for the new baby.
Stay tuned!

Hello everyone,
It has been almost a month since I last blogged.
A lot of things have happened. Let me start with a book a read that made me laugh so much, Joshua by Josheph F. Girzone. Great book, I would recomed it to everyone. Also my friend told me that there is another book called Joshua and the Children from the same author that I should read.
I went to see "The Hunger Games" movie, even though my sexteen year old daughter dragged me to go see it. I LOVED IT!!! I enjoyed the movie, but my daughter was a bit dissappointed, becuase she had read the books before hand. I still say everyone should go see it.
I have done a few crafts, including scrapbooking projects and cards. I will post pictures from everything soon, I promise.
In my upcoming blogs I will be sharing some information about makeup and body care products I've used and loved.
Stay tuned!
