TGIT?

Thank goodness it's Thursday! Friday for me! It's been awhile since I've been on, or so I'm told. It's been a rough few weeks. The weather has been lousy! We've seen more snow these past few months than we have in the last 5 years! I hate it! It can leave anytime. Along with that, my husband came down with the flu.....and I mean bad! He's not normally one to get sick and this one knocked him on his butt for a week! Women were not meant to be single parents. Kudos to all you women out there who are! I get down on my knees and bow down to you! The cleaning, the laundry, the cooking, the kids! Whooo! I don't care to repeat that anytime soon. I am SPOILED! I'll be the first to admit it!
He finally went back to work today...woohoo! Come to find out later...he was sick again this morning, but stuck it out anyway.....what a MAN! All I can say is.....if you get this nasty stuff, you better plan on being quarantined for at least 5-7 days if not longer! Doctor or no doctor.
Since he's finally on the mend, maybe I"ll actually be able to sit down and work on some long, overdue cards and swaps that need to be finished. We'll see..............Have a great weekend everybody!

Cuttlebug Card

I did this card for a cuttlebug swap that I'm in on SCS. Anyone else have one of these? I love it! What folders do you have? What's your favorite. I used the new 07 colors for this card....what do you think?

Yaaay for the weekend!

What a long week! No day off for me this week! Saturday is already gone and I haven't done any scrapping or any card making in probably a week. What is wrong with me. I did have stamp club though. It's sale-a-bration time in Stampin Up. I got the cute scalloped set of stamps. I can't wait until it comes, so that I can try it out. I ordered some new cardstock and a new roller and some new designer paper. It should be here next week, I hope. If you guys don't have a SU demo, you should. Their products rock! So does CTMH, but I don't want to sound biased. Have a great night everyone!

P.S. I've added a post of the card that I sent in for a swap. It was a lot of fun! What do you think?

I'm soooooooooooo tired!

Long day at work....I'm so tired. Yet when I'm at work, all I want to do is come home and go to my craft table. How can that be? I keep thinking of all the things that I could be doing or making, yet when I get here, I think.......maybe later! Does anyone else ever get like that? Where's my get up and go.....my gumption? The kids are both mad and in their room, dear husband is watching tivo, now is the perfect opportunity. Yet something holds me back. I know that I have several swaps that I need to complete. But...they're not due until March and April....I guess I am ahead of the game. What's a girl to do.....I guess I'll just have to stamp. Maybe I'll finally get the nerve to download some of my stuff so that you may see.
Have a great night ladies!!

What's in a name?

So.....one of my wonderful sisters on Bellaholics Anonymous sent me a link to .....What's in a name? I checked on the name of my blog and this is what it came up with.....and let me just say...it couldn't be more true. I mean it's kind of scary, but it's right on.

So....I'm kinda new at this blog thing. I'll probably stumble a little along the way. Be gentle. If anyone has any tips on how to run this thing, I'm open to them.

My name is Dawn Springer and I'm addicted to scrapping and stamping and shopping for all the supplies that it takes to do so. Luckily, I'm a CTMH consultant.....I can feed my habit at a discount.

My husband partially supports my habit....as long as he doesn't know how much I'm spending and he doesn't see me adding to it....he's OK with it. What a great guy!

My kids think I have too much stuff...but what child doesn't think that their mother goes off the deep end about something. They never complain when they need a marker, colored pencil or some type of adhesive. Who's the momma then....that's right....ME!
