Christmas Goodness....

 Like I've mentioned, I have many " favorite" Blogs. I mentioned Rinne's a few posts ago, but this time I want to send you on over to Candy's Craft Corner. She's giving away, not 1, not2, but 3 Cricut Cartridges away!!! So go on over, say Hi. You won't regret it:)

UGHHHHH

  I just have a quick post tonight. I so had big plans for this weekend, BUT on Thursday afternoon, my laptop died. I thought the hard drive was fried, but good news, turns out it was just a virus. Not to sure where it came from, but atleast its fixable. Soooo, having said that...all the pics I wanted to post and challanges I wanted to enter can not be done til Monday (I'm hoping). I have my husband's tiny little netbook, so I can still check my friends out in blogland, it just takes a bit longer.

 But the reason for this post, on this tiny little machine, is..... I just ordered the E2 from the Shopping Channel. On the Cricut blog they mentioned they were previewing it. I only have the small Cricut and while it did just perfectly for my scrapbooking, I realized to venture into the world of paper crafting, thanks to you wonderful ladies, I do NEED the bigger better machine!!! Im so excited!!!! In 4 to 7 days I'll have it. Now, if I could just figure out what photo printer to get, I'll be aces:)

Quick note on some awesome blog candy...

 I have, like most people, a few blogs that are my "favorite" I love them all, but the people on these special blogs have helped me and showed me some love almost since I started blogging. One of these people is Rinne at Rinne's Bliss.  She makes some amazing cards and layouts. And right now she's giving away some good candy. She went through her stash and is giving away her loved but neglected goodies. Check her out. You won't be sorry.

At Long Last....

 My room is done. It only took 4 days. I should start somewhat at the beginning. We moved to this house last une. In our old house my scrap spaces changed almost monthly. It started in a plastic 3 shelf storage container in the livingroom corner, where it was for 2 years til I got pregnant with my first daughter. After which time I moved it up to my room and stored it in the enternaiment centre (very small room). I kept it there for about a year. Then me and the DH decided to move it down into the basement (which up until then was under renos) in the computer room. Well then low and behold, I got pregnant with my last little monster, and in a 3 bedroom house with 3 kids space is tough to find (the house was only barely above 900sq ft)....so I moved to the furnace room. I had a table, a book shelf with 4 shelves, and the furnace and hot water tank. Nice eh?

 So when we bought this house, there was a built in "SPACE" that the previous owners used as a playroom for they're daughter. I called dibs right off the hop. We hadn't even gotten the house offer put in and I called dibs!! You can check HERE.  You still have to ignore the floor, I'll get around to changing it soon:)

  My Disney wall. Pictures of us all 3 times in front of the lego dragon

 My favorite saying (bought, not made) and my favorite pictures

 My table and shelves

 I bought the pink shelf, but it was wood color, I painted it. It holds my glitter

 CD shelves I bought at the thrift store to hold my CTMH stamps

I bought 2 of these and painted them white and added some ribbon and flowers where they were

damaged. One holds my FELT.

 It's a small room, and as I grow as a crafter, my room changes. This won't be the last time I change it I'm sure. I love my room. Its my little piece of heaven, where with a cup of coffee, tea or a glass of wine, I can craft and just have some me time:)
