So I am in a Marie Antoinette round robin that I blogged about before....and I realized hey my middle name is MARIE - LOL - which I can only imagine stems from the French since my Grandmother had mostly french in her blood ... coincidence ... i think not ... LOL-

and today I finally finished my journal and doll piece to pass on !!!












































And last week my cousin and I finally got together again after being at her place I bought this...... I will show more later of what I made .... but for now here it is ......












yes it looks like a sewing machine but its not - it is a Needle Felting or Embellisher as some people call it - It is amazing little thing that doesn’t sew but punches fabrics together ! Oh wait til you see what this little baby can do !! I am so excited to start using it ..... so I will definitely keep you posted . I have lots more to share but I will save that for another post.

So lots of stuff going on in my life right now and for the last month ! We are finally just getting settled in our house and I just got a new mac !! Yes I made the switch to APPLE - and so far I am loving it !
Can't wait to show off my new art studio and the things we have been up to ! I have got to get some pictures of everything and upload them - You would think I would have done that by now ! I love the new area we are in - Ethan started preschool and he loves it - I am doing water aerobics at the Ymca which is now 2 minutes or less from my house - It is awesome !! Our whole community revolves around the Y which is really fun - and it has that homey midwest feel -
Well off to a tball game for Ethan .... will post soon again !

And so its almost done !

Well finally the end is in sight !!!!!!! We close on our house on June 30th and move in on drum roll please..... July 1st - which happens to be my bday tooo !! happy birthday to me !

Got Game?

Okay so I joined this new website called the grocery game .... thought i would give it a whirl and start the whole coupon thing since hubby and i are finally getting our dream home ! yes now we are going to have some bigger bills and i would like to shrink some of the ones i already have ( guess that means not much scrapbooking stuff either..yeah right...LOL) So tonight i went grocery shopping with list and coupons - verdict ..... it was fun and i saved drum roll please 104.00 and spent 112.00 - WOWZER !!! 50% almost- wish they had this game for scrapbooking supplies ... so i guess you could say - yep it works and it was fun and all women love saving money !! I will keep you updated on how my savings go ....
