Happy Christmas Eve I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. We are off to go and see santa this morning. I know, waiting for the last minute is not a good thing. But hey, when you are totally busy, things happen. Last night I just received an e-mail that said I was a finialist for a design team. I answered the questions and sent it back. A little while later, I get an e-mail that congratulated me to their team. I am so syked. I have been trying to get on a design team for awhile now. I was wondering if it was something I was saying, doing, not making or just how I scrapped that no one wanted to me to be on their team. I guess I was just getting the holiday blues. But this has made my day and I can't wait to share it with Scott. Like he'll be all excited for me...lol...he did understand how I wanted to be on the other team I just tried out for. But I guess this is what the man above intended for me instead. There's even an offer for me to go to Vegas for the CHA show the end of January. I am so hoping that I can make this show. I have always longed to go there. Oh well, enough of that for now..I will let you know more details as soon as I can... The above project is my unloved 3-D project I made for the Junkitz Design Team call...heck, they didn't even want to purchase this one...oh well...it'll make someone a happy camper when they get it for their birthday with goodies inside. The zipper on the top is totally functional. And I took a couple binderz and took them apart for added elements for the sides of the box... Well I'm off for now. I hope everyone has a wonderful day...and thanks for stopping in... Hugs from Charm City

A Little something something for the mommy to be!!!! I have to tell you that I am so loving these little boxes that I have been making. This is one that I made for Cammy's gift. I added some little embellies for scrapbooking and a little gift card to Target inside it for a baby gift. And it was the smallest size that the Chinese place here carries. So all of you ladies, run, don't walk, lol... to your local chinese place. But make sure you place an order first, and then ask if you can purchase a few boxes. They only charged me .25 cents for each one. A far cry from what the stores charge you...;O)....I am making some using Christmas wrapping paper and the curling ribbon. A much cheaper version instead of our very expensive scrappin supplies...heehee..oh, don't forget about those free laminate chips from Home Depot...they are great for a gift tag to hang on the side to ..I use the little tiny ones they have....I have also made another one for a birthday gift. The bigger boxes are great to add things in...as soon as I get the final details on the Christmas one's, I'll post so you all can take a peek...I can't wait to see what everyone says when they get a little chinese box for Christmas...lol...
