Cabin Fever

Since I am not able to go home and I am stuck in this hotel room for the next month or so until I leave. I decided that I should start on my Christmas Cards.  Besides going shopping, surfing the net and watching movies what else is there to do? Well, I did open my son's Christmas Gift and played with it for a while. (I was trying to decided if I wanted a Kindle Fire also)  Scrapbooking in my hotel room  is like being at a mini retreat - well not really, but it sure helps fight the boredom.  Here is what I have done so far...

The Stamp Set is from Close To My Heart from the retired Believe Workshop On The Go (WOTG), Cranberry and Black cardstock, black button brads, Black Grosgrain Ribbon, Cranberry Marker, and Stardust Glitz Glitter Gel

Flakey Friends Stamp set , Cocoa and Olive cardstock from CTMH

Until Next Time - Happy Scrappin'

It's Been Too Long...

  Where has the time gone?  I can't believe that the last time that I posted, it was August.  Quite a bit has  happened since I posted last...

• I did get my scrapbooking room mucked out and organized - of course I don't have any pictures, but I will post some next time I am home.

• I did have my scrapbooking sale and I sold quite a bit of my excess paper and few stamp sets that I hadn't used in a while. 

• I am being deployed overseas for an extended period of time with the MT Air National Guard.  

Since I am being deployed, I won't be able to post scrapbooking layouts or cards while I am gone, because I can not take my scrapbooking supplies with me. Well, I could bring my supplies with me but, there would not be enough room on the airplane for anything else.  If you have seen how much gear a solider has to bring with them for a 6 month deployment you would be shocked.  While I am gone I am going to try digital scrapbooking with Studio J.  I will attempted to post pictures during my deployment, but the wi-fi speed is very slow where I am going.  I do not know what my work schedule will be, but I will try to post often.

I hope everyone has a very joyful Holiday Season.

Until next time...Happy Scrappin'
