Dames, Dorks, and Deals!

Wow*!*
I am super excited about all of wonderful response for *A Deck Of Me*... Offer is always open and it's never too late to join. Thanks a ton to Amy {Caffinated Cropper} for getting the word out {along with any of you that invited your gal pals to join}. We're gonna have a blast~if you don't want to be jealous, come join the fun!

Info? Just scroll down two posts...

I'm just curious...am I the only ding dong who gets SO excited about a new crafty project, gets all of the supplies together, plans out exactly what's going to be done, starts it with gusto... and.....well....I don't know...just....stops? I don't get it! I don't do it all of the time...but I can think of 2 projects for my home that I have started and not finished, 3 that I have all of the supplies for and have not started, and at least 10 new ones I think of every day. Makes my head spin and my house cluttered...

Hmmm...


My Grandma Jeanne always said that clutter was a sign of a creative mind...what if your mind is what's cluttered? (I'm pretty sure it means that I'm a super genius...Grandma Jeanne didn't say that....
I did ;) My dilemma appears as #2-#7 on my *A Deck Of Me* card~week 1....so I'm working on it.



Although....



Hobby Lobby had all of their Christmas 90% off today.



Yep.



More stuff for projects~I am hopeless...but COME ON! At 90% off, I felt like I was stealing the stuff from them! Some fuzzy, alpha stickers, red tins for craft supplies {the Christmas design is on the top...they're going up high on a shelf so all anyone will see is the pretty dark red}, some kits {which I will promptly take apart and use for all sorts of things. Kits bug me...it's like they're telling me what to do...totally dumb I know}, two pretty red fabric tags, those angel wings {which I'll have to alter somehow...not fond of their goldish-ness. I'm picturing them on either side of a beautiful b&w photo of my girls. Oh I forgot...Hubby saw some similar to them in the store the other day and remarked how he hated them...yep... that MUST have just slipped my mind when I bought them...}, my pretty black Merry Christmas that will go beautifully in my black, white, and dark red kitchen, and some ornament hooks. I don't know if you can see those prices or not...but at 90%...y'all, you can't beat that with a stick! The most expensive thing~the angel wings @ $1.80 a piece...

Yep, now I have more stuff...

I'm getting smarter by the minute*!*

::Again, if you are interested in joining *A Deck Of Me*, just leave your email address on the 2nd post down and we'll get you up and running~We're gonna have a craftabulous time. Hope to see you there*!*::

Heard this song on the radio this afternoon...good times,....... good times.
(hu, Tina? tee hee hee! ;)

I don't know your Grandma Jeanne, but I love what she said. I believe I must think this way, because there is alway a mess in my scrap area. LOL

Look at all those good goodies you got a HL, isn't that place dangerous. LOL I just picked up a Cricut cartridge for like $35 on clearance there. It was the tag, bags, boxes & more one, you can't beat that price. Then again I never have a problem shopping when I step into HL.

Oh and today is going to be spent doing my first 2 cards for the challenge. It's a Must!

Your comment about clutter makes me think of that Peter Walsh (?) book: "Does this clutter make my butt look big?"
So now you know...or maybe you're lucky and don't. But I sure do. :(
