I'm getting a cricut! No, wait! I got a cricut! I got a cricut! Can't play with it until Christmas but it's all mine baby ! All mine!

Weekend projects

I scrapped my halloween pics from this year and I absolutely love the SR salem line. I just used the scrap strip paper and I'm totally wishing I bought all the paper. But I'm out of halloween pics so I guess you snooze, ya loose right? I also finished a Christmas present for a friend. I found this sign thing at a thrift store and bought it for $1. Yes $1! So I repainted it with and crackled it and love the results. The letters and flower are chipboard! I love the subtle dimension on it. I absolute LOVE how it turned out. I'm going to so something similar for my own home. I used to hate to paint my chipboard, but now that I've crackled it, holy cow! Don't be suprised if the technique is on my next dozen layouts!

My Sketch World

I forgot to formally announce that I am a http://mysketchworld.blogspot.com/ Diva Designer. It's an awesome sketch site by Lucy Chesna. This month is her anniversary for the site so be sure to check it out because there are contest sponsors. Here's the layouts that I've done for the first 2 weeks.

Painful Reminders

My revelation has faded away,

existing yesterday but gone today.

Painful reminders

of what was to be,

A sorrowful ending

to the joy I won't see.

An empty feeling
in my heart and my womb,

Praying for the comfort,

that will take away this gloom.

Everyday is getting better,

day by day I see a light.

But knowing that my baby's gone,

in my heart, will never be right.

So I'll take joy in the children beside me,

and in the husband I hold dear,

I'll be grateful for what I do have

when I wipe away my tears.

A few layouts

I did these layouts just for fun. All products are available at http://www.acbaileydesigns.com/ The box in the background is my RAK from Aubrey! It is so awesome!! (the RAK not the box lol.) There was so much more in it than what was promised. I'm hoping to play with some of the yummy albums this weekend so I'll post soon!

Church bulletin board

I was asked several months ago to take care of our ward's bulletin board for Relief Society. I've really enjoyed it, but I always forget to take pictures. So today, as I was doing Novembers, I actually had my camera. The lighting inside the hallway isn't that great but you get it. I love the scarecrow. I turned some clipart into a paper piecing pattern and this is what came of it.

I've been tagged!!

Ok, this is my first one so I'm hoping I get it right. I've been tagged by Lisa http://lisadcarroll.blogspot.com/ and Tilda http://raggedydayz.blogspot.com/

Here are the rules which must be posted on your blog if you are tagged:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself: some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post and list their names (linking to them).
4. Let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment at their blog.

Here's my facts:

1. I cannot sleep in total darkness or silence, so I sleep with the tv on all night. (dh is same way)
2. I love to sing, but the only ones who get to hear me are under the age of 10!
3. I met my husband on yahoo personals.
4. I sleep "upside down" a majority of the time, meaning my head is at the foot of the bed and feet at the top. I know, wierd, but it works.
5. I live .6 miles from my parents (i've clocked it out of curiosity)
6. I am not a pets person.
7. I went to school to be a medical receptionist but realized that I have a phobia of answering phones and making calls. I'm serious. I don't even answer my cell phone if I don't know who it is.

Ok, now I'm pathetic and don't know any one who hasn't been tagged so my list is short:
