Chat Box Chicks ~ Welcoming the New Year!

I can't get into my craft room to make anything right now. Half of my living room is stuck in there right now from our painting this week.

laurlynn · 01-20-2013, 01:56 PM

Yep it's fake. We've attempted to start a few times but weekends are better when the nights are so buy. Kids off school the next two days too so we can do it in sections, even though I work.

laurlynn · 01-20-2013, 01:57 PM

I know of a couple people painting this weekend.

Hoping to go get the padding this week to get the carpet installed in ds1's bedroom downstairs.

I haven't taken mine down yet either. Normally do it on new year' day, but having been so sick, I just did not have the energy. I'm still trying to catch up with the housecleaning, but can't seem to get ahead. I was out so much last week, by the time I came home, I just wanted to crash. This week isn't going to be much of an improvement, as I am out Mon-Wed. nights, and then again Sat. for sure. May end up being out Friday, all day Sat. & all day Sun - but I am hoping not.

okay, to get rubber off a wood mount, how long in the micro?

catcrazy · 01-20-2013, 02:09 PM

I think it is 10 sec. increments until you can get it off?

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 02:25 PM

perfect. Now it's straight. WHEW

Anemone · 01-20-2013, 02:27 PM

I'm ready for a nap.

Very pretty.

mountainmom · 01-20-2013, 02:56 PM

I like the card sketch because it is not just blah, but it is flat enough to mail with one stamp.

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 03:00 PM

I'd say this dances the edge of CAS. It hovers there, taunting me. But, I put on that ribbon and metal flower, so I doubt it fits.

mountainmom · 01-20-2013, 03:03 PM

Lol C, I think the flower put you over the top!

catcrazy · 01-20-2013, 03:10 PM

Does anyone here have the old SU Girl Power (girl scouts) stamp set??? My sister just sent me a text about something she saw on pinterest made with it.....

mountainmom · 01-20-2013, 03:14 PM

Not me. (since I only had boys) It was a cute set!

Anemone · 01-20-2013, 03:20 PM

For those of you who have kindle: Cropped to Death (Faith Hunter Scrap This Mystery): Christina Freeburn: Amazon.com: Kindle Store
Goodreads says it is on sale today for 2.99, but I don't see anything about that on amazon.
Not that I have kindle, but I bought it today for my ereader. Figure for less than $5, I am willing to give it a chance.

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 03:37 PM

I am absolutely giddy that my card is next to Imogene's in the gallery lineup. Snort. It doesn't take much to make me happy.

catcrazy · 01-20-2013, 03:45 PM

Man is netflix ever spoiling me with the no commercials!! Watching NCIS online and there used to be very few commercials...i think they have doubled the amount they used to show just about as bad as watching it live on tv!

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 03:55 PM

I LOVE Netflix. Hulu Plus, not os much. We keep fighting John Doe on that thing. Always breaking up, freezing, everything. Drives me bananas.

I still have to watch the second half of the two-parter. Not sure when I am going to get to it, but it needs to be soon, since my service provider only keeps them available for two weeks after they air.

I think the last one is fine. If you used an alcohol marker for colouring, you could maybe try yellowing the orange flower a bit to help it blend more with your dp. But the blue & yellow look fine together & your blue flower is the right shade for it to pop with your cs.

You must have been stamping away today!

tamijo · 01-20-2013, 04:21 PM

I don't know why- it's just not my favorite.

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 04:23 PM

Ashley hates me. Argh. I just made another play for Legends of the Vengeance and she still says no.

WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

tamijo · 01-20-2013, 04:23 PM

I wasn't going to use that cardstock (the orangey one) but decided to go with instead of what I planned. I had one that was more orange. But thanks

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 04:25 PM

Tami, the ONLY objection I have to that last one is that the sentiment is hard to read.

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 04:25 PM

and I LOVE the paper... just hard to read for some reason.

tamijo · 01-20-2013, 04:27 PM

it's a very fine script- not like the others in the set

My favorite of your cards today. Love these colors. I saw a sketch somewhere that uses gray with melon mambo. I like that one, too.

tamijo · 01-20-2013, 04:39 PM

Imogene- that's my favorite too!

tamijo · 01-20-2013, 04:42 PM

okay- now that I am uploaded I am going to make some more cards. I have a sketch challenge that I want to participate in. And I am waiting on my landlord to let me know when their guests leave so I can move my car back

Chautona · 01-20-2013, 04:46 PM

Don't suppose any of you know the name of the old guy who runs the Deli in Fairbury?

It's a german guy...

Anemone · 01-20-2013, 04:47 PM

*sigh* I still need to cook the 'sketti sauce. Which is what I was intending for my lunch tomorrow. I just had an email from my mother and we are having 'sketti for dinner at the parentals tomorrow night. I like 'sketti, but twice in one day? Now to come up with alternate lunch plan..........
