NO Rock for me! :( lol

Hello ladies!!! I have missed you all. As sad as I was to wake up Christmas morning and not find The Rock sitting under my tree wtih his huge red bow and a smile I managed to have a great day! I did get a red Wii!!! Great little machine to keep you mind busy and body fit! WOW, I have been playing on that thing for hours. I might not have time for nothing else! For the first time in like 3 or 4 years my husband and I actually spent 6 hours playing together!!!! and had fun!!! Usually I'm in my studio, creating and he will be playing his Xbox. but the last few days we have been bowling, playing softball and golf!
 I also got the Wii Fit and ladies, if you EVER considered joining a gym, but couldnt because of the membership expense, the contracts and finding time to get there, please consider buyin the Wii and the Wii fit. I know I sound like a commercial, but omg...this machine is awesome. I have been doing Yoga, aerobics and finding my balance all while having fun. It tracks your weight and all your progress. Its ideal for weight loss and its fun!!! You should try it. I love it, the best gift ever!!!
I have been taking a break from crafting, 1st cause I was sooooooooooo sick and now because of the Wii, but soon after the new year I will be posting some projects.  Please keep checking back.
How was all of your Christmas?? Please share with me, let me know your still out there!
love you all....
If your planning on going out to Celebrate the New Year please be safe!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!!!!!

FLU ...FLU...GO AWAY AND DONT COME AGAIN ANOTHER DAY!

Hello ladies, no I haven't forgotten you guys...I just have not been doing very well this December.  What ever I had a few weeks ago, has come back for round 2!! All I want to do is lay around and groan n moan!  I wanted to apologize for not being able to put out the tutorial on the mini tag album for those that requested it! I just havent much had the energy to do so.  And if you guys follow Krytals blog you are aware that she has been fighting strep throat!  Not a fun few weeks for us gals!   But I promise as soon as I get to feeling better I will try and post that tut. I apologize! 

I hope you all are doing well and that your Christmas preparations are well on their way!!!

Love, hugs and kiss

THANSK FOR STOPPING BY!!!

Tick Tock, Time is running out!

Hello, I'm getting excited about Christmas! My girls love opening presents, they are grown, yet I love to see their faces when they unwrap the boxes. Every year I have to  wait longer and longer to wrap them and put them under the tree because they go over and shake them, and try to guess what' in them. Krystal always want to take ALL her gifts and put them together in a pile...then Brandi likes to rearrange ALL the fits by size and box shape! She will do this 3 , 4 times!!! lol It just too cute.  Brandon has been so good at not messing with the tree, he just takes his little finger and touches the ball ornaments ever so gently, he is such a good kid!! My heart, next only to my girls.
But ok...now for the following project...I wont say much about since I do ALOT of talking in this video. I will say that this mini a lot like the black and red mini I posted a few days ago.  You can find this mini up for auction HERE or do a search for JAFDT...but I think I SAY all this in the video except I say "this is day 5, I neglected to say that Im 5 days behind! lol !!! okkk so here goes...enjoy... xoxoxo

I want the warmth back! Blk n Red mini album

Hi...ok...who ever wished winter was here...take it back! lol It is soooo cold tonight. The weather man said the words..."Freezing" or "Below Freezing temperatures!" What? But I live in Floirda!! Sunny, hot, humid!! ahhhh, never happy lol cause if you scroll down and read my summer posts I think you can find me complaining about the heat! lol Hey its my god givng right to complain...no? lol So needless to say I intend on staying indoor A WHOLE LOT!   Plus notice how much heavier the traffic gets around this holiday? Why is that? where are all these drivers during the other 11 months of the year? Do they ONLY come out to shopp for Christmas??? It's so odd!

Well. enough of that...for some inspiration. I think I'm addicted to creating paper bag albums. We are on day 6 of the 12 days of christmas over on ebay but this is my 3 project for day 3, Im a wee bit behind! lol Ima-trying though!! like the little engine that could. :) Our theme was black and red.

I hope you like this and that it inspires you to create Christmas projects outside the green and red color scheme!
If interested in this mini album click HERE or type JAFDT on the ebay search window. THANKS!

And as always...

Mini Tag Album

Hi all...I hope everyone had a great weekend. I did! I kept Brandon from Friday night thru Sunday about 2pm.  I had so much fun with the little fellow. He is at the kissing and hugging stage and I just eat that up!!!
I also visited a Ustream class hosted by one of the members of the GGGals... their blog is at
http://gggals.blogspot.com/  I had a lot of fun chatting with the ladies and learning a few techniques!
And I even won a prize!!! whoo hooo!! I never win anything sooo I was very excited to have won!

Now for my portion of inspiration...here is a video I made of a Tag Mini Album. Its really easy to make and holds tons of pictures. The embellishement of this book has to stay to a minimum because of all the folds and bends this book makes.  I hope you like it and that it inspires you to FOLD paper more often!!

And as always...

Thanks for Stopping
