In a Creative Mood

Hello my lovely crafting friends.

I have been feeling so creative the past few days. I blame it on Pinterest, I've been surfing through the the crafting section and everything I see is like; "I like that, wow I need to make one of those..."

I just love that website but it gets me into so much trouble too.

Wonder why i use the word trouble, it's because it always makes me go shopping, lol. And here's the truth, I really do not need anymore toys for my crafting stash. Notice I used the word need. I have been collecting for my stash for nearly 15 years, but if you get inspired to create something now is defiantly the time to go shopping. Holiday sales are amazing at the craft stores. And luckily I'm pretty good with a budget :)

I have decided to create a shabby chic mini album. Something romantic with a vintage touch. Soft colors and tons of lace. Doesn't it sound pretty?

So this morning I did a little shopping and I got a huge assortment of goodies for my new project, and the best part; all on sale. Not just any sale between 50 -60 percent off each item then I had a 20 percent off your entire purchase coupon. I hardly spent any money and got so many pretties.

Love all this lace. I can't wait to create with it.

Some pretty floss to do a little hand stitching.

A few different size page inserts and some binding clasps.

And some pretty paper and embellishments too.

Now I can't wait to put it all together and make something beautiful with it.

I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful and creative day.

Hugs,

Anna

Teasured Finds

Hello everyone,

As you may have guessed Sew Crafty Angel and I are buddies. We've been pals for a long time. This past Saturday we decide to have a little road trip together and have a mini shopping spree. It was a total blast and was much needed fun.

This little post is to share some of the new treasures that I found throughout the day.

I love these two little shabby chic wall shelves. They're perfect for holding my colored pencils, and I put them right at desk level so I can actually see and reach them, which is a definite plus. They've been quite useful and they really inspire me to color more, which is always a good thing.

This is a future craft project. 

The paper/pen holder is adorable but the color isn't quite right for my room. So a little warm white craft paint and some Prima rose heart corners and centerpiece and I think it'll look pretty cute. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it after that but I'll find the perfect place for it.

Oh yeah, Halloween candy sneak peak, lol.

I just couldn't go into a craft store and not pick out a few goodies for later on. I'm still working on this collection but I think it'll be a pretty fun lot for this holiday season. Hopefully I'll have it all put together and posted soon.

And my favorite find of the day,

wasn't a find at all.

It was a gift.

Angel made me this beautiful shelf to hold my punchies.

She's so talented at this sort of thing. So far she's made me 3 huge spice racks ( I really love to cook) and now this for my craft room. I am so grateful and I truly love it.

Hope you all enjoyed stopping by.

I loved having you here.

You can stop by Angels' blog to see all her fantastic finds too.

Hugs,

Anna
