~ Something’s Screwy…. ~
March 9th, 2009 by Holly McMillen
Good morning!
As you can see, I took the weekend OFF. I spent the majority of Saturday and Sunday doing family time. The only real work I did was house hunting. The good news is, we have found a house that we absolutely love. It is in a nice neighborhood and has the perfect layout for us. It is a tri-level home with three bedrooms and a bonus room (can you say stamp studio?!!). We gave the landlord an application and now we are just waiting for his reply. Let’s all pray!!
I know alot of you are curious as to what is going on with my arm. Well, it IS healing, but not like the doc was hoping for. I had new xrays done on Friday and am waiting to heart the results of those. I have better range of motion than I did last week, but it still hurts quite a bit and I cannot extend my arm outwards at all.
Ok, so let’s get to the goodies! I have a really busy stamping week ahead of me, but I wanted to ‘warm up’ by doing today’s Technique Lover’s Challenge. It’s a bag, no, it’s a box, no, it’s a bagbox. LOL… It is just darling, whatever you want to call it!
Now, I went to the tutorial for this little darling, but I am such a hands on person, I couldn’t follow the instructions, so I made this up as I went along. I love the size. It is small enough to pack with fun stuff, but big enough to use for 3 x 3″ cards, as well.
You can find the original tutorial on Julie B’s blog here.
Here are my deets:
Stamps: The Botz Family by Our Craft Lounge
Colors: Night of Navy, Buckaroo Blue, GP White, Granola Dp
Ink: Brilliance Graphite Black, copics
Accessories: brads, ribbon, dimensionals, MS border punch, circle punch, word window punch, velcro circle, sticky tape, scoring blade

Oh! Also, an update on Marci. She is on her way to Denver as I type. She is having a pet scan today to see if further chemotherapy is needed. Let’s hope and pray she gets good results!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed day!

I love how you take the tute’s and make them your own LOL 🙂 Cute 3×3 box. Glad your arm is getting better and hopefully the x-rays let you know what’s going on.
Keep us posted on Marci’s results!! Praying she is clear and chemo is a thing of the past.
absolutely nothing wrong with twists and turns in the creative process….especially when you get the wonderful results that you do…tfs
I love this Holly! Will say a prayer about your house and your arm!
