SMT 63 At Sassy Cheryl's Blog

Well it's that time of the week again, time to post what I have going on in my life. Glad I didn't do this last Thursday, as there wouldn't have been much to post. However, Friday morning, when I got back from my walk, DH asked if I would wanted to go to Tupelo. Well HELLO, of course I do. There's a JoAnns, a Hobby Lobby and a Sam's Club. All it cost me was to take DH to the Harbor Freight(not as simple as you might think as DH takes a lonnnnnnnngggggggg time to make a decision) for some tools. Right next door to Harbor Freight is a Thrift Store. I do believe it's the neatest, cleanest and most organized thrift shop I've ever been in. I was looking for a table for my my Big Shot Pro. Imagine my delight when I discovered this sewing machine table, and it was less than $20. I'm going to have to sand it and either paint it or restain and varnish it, and DH is going to add a bigger top, but it's way cheaper than the material would have cost to build a sturdy table.

Over the weekend, I decided I need to really start working on some OWH cards. This is the first set of cards that I've done and finished this afternoon. The frog was a free svg from Shery K Designs, and the papers are from a kit from Just So Scrappy Too called I Toadily Love You. The sentiment is from Create with TLC.

And this final shot is of my desk this afternoon, after I started cleaning up the mess I made from making 9 cards just alike. It's not there yet, but getting there so that I can start making another mess. Do you notice my afternoon latte?

  2. Hey Shirley, remember me. I haven't been around much lately, so tonight I took a few to catch up a bit. Love this gigantuous machine there. I know I will be seeing a lot of embossing coming out of Tazmania in the future. Glad you are home from the mountains. It was gorgeous but so is Tazmania. Wish I could ski as good as MM. Take care sweetie. Linda
