<br />Let me introduce you to <a href="http://scrapchallenge.com/" target="_blank"><span style="font-size: large;">scrapchallenge.com</span></a> They specialize in Scrap Contests and Challenge Listings.<br />
This is A great place I recently discovered for contests and chalenges. It's not a fancy site but it is definitely packed full of information. It is a Contest and Challenge Listings Blog. If you are looking for a challenge this is the place for you!!!! Not only can you find contests and challenges to enter, you can also list your own contest or challenge that you are having on your own blog or facebook page.<br />
They list nearly every contest and challenge site in the Crafting Community along with all the details. Kinda like one stop shopping except it's a challenge instead of a store!!! haha funny right?? <br />
<br />
<img alt="Winking smile" class="wlEmoticon wlEmoticon-winkingsmile" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-HYaF08jfdKA/Uf1Dr9YMkxI/AAAAAAAACBo/5vatScME_rE/wlEmoticon-winkingsmile%25255B2%25255D.png?imgmax=800" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none;" />That's what I have for you today. Should something else come up I will update the post. Hope you enjoyed stopping and gained some valuable information and fun things to do!!!

<br />
Good Morning Everyone,<br />
<br />
Today you are going to learn about changes that are coming to Carters Crafting Corner. I have decided to take the blog in a different direction. You will be seeing new content coming in the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
First of all, I am moving Project Faith-Book to a new blog called <span style="color: purple; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><i>"Carter Christian Crafting Corner"</i></b></span>. It is going to be a Christian Craft Blog and you can read more about that on the page - Project Faith-Book.<br />
<br />
What you see here on the main page for the next few weeks is going to change. I have discovered since starting the blog that not only are my interests in Card-Making and Scrap booking, but also in holding Blog Hops and Challenges. That is where my passion is. I want all of us to enjoy seeing and learning about the different projects that are shared and the fascinating themes that come along with it. Along with a higher level of participation. I am excited and looking forward to the NEW Carters Crafting Corner.<br />
<br />
I have big plans but right now they are "TOP SECRET"!!!! As things progress and I figure out how I plan to structure this I will be announcing the new happenings along the way.<br />
<br />
You are going to see more blog hops to participate and get involved in. Upcoming themed challenges. Guest blogger visits with awesome creations, tutorials, and helpful tips. Along with great sponsors. And plenty of other ideas to keep the blog upbeat and fun to be a part of.<br />
<br />
I can't give you all the details now but that was just a little teaser of things to come. I do hope you all get inspired to pass along the word to your other craft friends and get them involved with the many things happening here.<br />
<br />
Please bear with me over the next week or so as I work out the details and make sure everything is going smooth. You will be seeing some guests here to keep everyone involved and enthusiastic.<br />
<br />
I would love to hear from you about what you think and any questions you have. Leave a comment and I will definitely answer as soon as I possibly can.<br />
<br />
Until next time,<br />
<br />

<span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Every since I heard about this blog hop and the theme I was so excited to make this card. Anyone that really knows me knows that purple is by far my favorite color. And with the theme of the blog hop being use something you haven't used in a while (6 months or so), I kept thinking about the "Dazzles" by Hot Off The Press (HOTP) that I bought at <a href="http://www.paperwishes.com/" target="_blank">paperwishes.com</a> and haven't got to use them. I got really excited and immediately started thinking of a design I could use on the card. It is quite simple but also elegant at the same time. Heck, you wouldn't really know that those are Dazzle stickers on the front LOL :-). With that being said I will tell you a little bit about how the card was made. It is a white card blank with the fold on top cut to 5" x 5" with purple card stock on top also the same size. Then I used Gypsy Jewel Paper from HOTP in blue stripe and purple ombre. I matted them together with a small border. Then I traced and cut the scalloped rectangle label from a sheet of die-cuts I had onto purple card stock with a light blue card stock behind it. I used 3D foam tape to pop it up off the card. Then from a sheet of white Dazzles i used two swirls facing each other. and a smaller swirl under that lines up even with the top swirls. I then used a dazzle border across the bottom. And to finish it off I rounded the bottom corners with a corner punch. The majority of the product used is by Hot Off The Press. The card stock is just basic from my stash. The Dazzles are the item that I have not used in a while and was very excited to use. I didn't include a sentiment on the front because it has so many possibilities. A birthday card, An anniversary card, and so on.. You get the picture. Unfortunately the picture never really does the card the justice it deserves. </span><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is another view of the card standing up.</span><br />

<span style="color: red;"><i>Happy 4th of July My Friends!!!</i></span> I am hoping that every one of you has a wonderful holiday today and tonight. From cook-outs with the family, time at the lake or beach, to a night of SPECTACULAR Fireworks. This is by far one of my favorite holidays. Not only is it time with family and friends, and fabulous fireworks displays, which are my favorite. It’s also a celebration of freedom. What a wonderful thing… Freedom!!! We are so fortunate to live in a Country that enjoys freedom. All thanks to our Founding Fathers who fought for our freedom and our Heroes now who fight and uphold that Freedom. Thank you to all our <i>OUTSTANDING MILITARY</i> who keep us safe and Free!!!<br />
<br />
So today I am going to the LONGEST Parade in the SMALLEST town around this area. Sounds a little backwards huh??! But it’s true. It's in a little town of 38 peoples with a parade that is an hour and a half long. I am very excited to be going. I am going with my daughter and granddaughter. Three generations spending the 4th of July together. That sounds like a true scrapbook page or Project Faith-Book page in the future.<br />
<br />
I do have a couple of projects to share with you today. One of them is the card I made for the 1st Annual 4th of July / Red white and blue Blog Hop. I kept looking at the card and thinking something was missing. It finally hit me that it needed red behind the sentiment. And here is a look at the two of them and how much difference it made.<br />
<br />

This is the first one I posted<br />

Here is the same card with the red behind the picture. And here is a close-up of it. </blockquote>
You sure can tell the difference, don’t you think so? Sometimes that’s what it takes. Just to step back and look at your project can actually bring you inspiration. This isn't the first time I have done this either. If you are like me you can always see a way to make it better or prettier.<br />
<br />
I also put together a couple of medallions. I am sure you have either seen them or made them at some point. And chances are they have other names too. If you aren't familiar with them and would like the tutorial just let me know in the comments and I will be happy to put that together and share it with you. The little card next to them is one that I made with my granddaughter earlier today. She helped decide how to organize it and I put it together. <br />

Speaking of my grand-daughter, she is going to be turning 5 in a few short weeks. That clique' of “where did the time go?” certainly holds true here. I can honestly remember when she first came home. A week later she was at her first Relay for Life Event. Cruising around the track while we pushed her in the stroller. Hard to believe it has been that long. I am working on putting together a little something for her birthday. As much as I want to share it with you, I also want it to be a surprise. Or if I really mess up, then I can fix it before I tell you about it. Hmmm… smart thinking, right?!!<br />
<br />
There is one other thing I want to mention. If you are participating in Project Faith-Book jump over to the face book page and check out the latest update. There is now an Official Sign-Up Sheet in the Notes Section. Please take a minute and leave your information in the comments under the sign-up note and I will get it added to the document. Speaking of Project Faith-Book, how is your first challenge coming along? I have already heard from one person that has hers finished. I have started on mine too, but it is taking some thinking and praying to put it together. I hope yours is coming along well. I am going to be doing a feature on how to incorporate your faith in your layout journaling. It's going to be very informative so try not to miss it. Go ahead and leave me a comment and let me know how it is going with your layout. And let me know what you are doing for the 4th of July today!! I really enjoy hearing from you and what you have to say. I hope that all of you have a terrific day. And those who are in the rain area, stay dry, and I hope it doesn't interfere with the fireworks where you're at.<br />
<br />
Until We Meet Back Here Again,<br />

God Bless You and Happy Independence Day<br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I am SO excited to
introduce this area of Scrap Booking to you, and I pray that it is enlightening
and encouraging to all of you! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I have had many of you
ask me “What is Project Faith-Book”? And after much prayer and thought this is
what I have put together.<span style="color: #2e0212;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Faith booking is an important part of scrap
booking our heritage! Even if you are new to scrap booking you will
agree it is the best way to preserve
memories of vacations, birthdays, new additions to the family, and other
special events in our lives. Just ask anyone who scrap-books. You
will find that activities and special times with family and friends are the
biggest reason for scrap-booking. With Project
Faith-Book the focus is on our spiritual journey and the Faith heritage.
Which we want for those who are here now and those who come behind us to
remember! Project Faith-Book is putting
the face of God on our scrapbook pages. As believers, we, like Jacob, see
the face of God in our everyday lives during our everyday activities (Genesis
32:30.) <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Project Faith-Book is basically combining our
beliefs and experiences with God and the memories we leave for our
children, grandchildren, and so on, (you get the picture right?) using scrap booking. What greater
legacy could we leave?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; line-height: 15.0pt; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">We will be creating an
actual Faith-Book aka scrap-book. That is the reason I mentioned your choice of
Albums. We will be doing different projects
each challenge to build on our Faith and to scrap our memories. There will be
discussions and comments on the Face Book page to encourage, motivate, and help
each other along the way. Keep in mind this is a Christian project and should
be treated as such. We as Daughters of the King of Kings are above what is
improper and displeasing to Jesus. We are Children of a Great God and should
present ourselves in that manner.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Regardless of your scrapbook style, if faith is
an important part of your life then you will want to<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><br soft="" />
preserve
this for future generations. Let’s begin today to capture those moments when we
feel God’s presence in our lives and around us in every day beauty and
awe.<span style="color: #2e0212; font-size: 11.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

You are My daughter, and I am the Creator, God of all heaven and earth. I’m delighted with you! You are the apple of My eye. You’re Daddy’s girl. I formed your body. I fashioned your mind and soul. I understand your needs and desires and I love you passionately and patiently.</span></em></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 25px; padding: 0px;">

Soon we will see each other face-to-face—Father and daughter—and you will experience the wonderful place I have prepared for you. For now, I want you to fix your eyes on heaven, and walk closely with Me. You will know that—although I am God—My arms are not too big to hold you, My beloved daughter.</span></em></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">I hope you find this poem as precious as I do. It holds a very special place in my heart. There is nothing better than a Love Letter From Our Father. I shared this because I want each of you to know that you ARE a Princess of the King of Kings. And he thinks you are perfect to him. He loves you unconditionally. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
<span style="color: blue;">With that here is a peak at the 1st Challenge Sketch: </span></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ThhJcYojYQg/Uc7kXMQBRgI/AAAAAAAAB04/duWoACef_nE/s1600/scan0001.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-ThhJcYojYQg/Uc7kXMQBRgI/AAAAAAAAB04/duWoACef_nE/s320/scan0001.jpg" width="204" /></a></span></span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">This is the sketch of the layout we will be using for the First Page in our Faith-Book. It is hand drawn so I know it may not be even and is far from perfect, but I think you get the idea. The measurements across the top are for your reference and are not a part of the layout. I didn't measure this to fit any particular page size. That is up to you. It will depend on which size album you are using. I haven't decided what size I am using but when I do I will share a picture of it with you. Please chose an album to use that you can decorate on the front. That will be one of your challenges in a few weeks. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;">Are you up for the challenge?</span> I can guarantee you this is going to be a challenge like no other challenge you have entered before. I hope you are ready! Remember this is with Sisterly Love!!! And if you stick with me you will be very pleased with the out come.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Do you believe God loves you unconditionally and you are the <em style="color: #333333; left: 10px; line-height: 1.5; margin: 0px; padding-left: 30px; padding-right: 30px; right: 20px;">apple of his eye</em>? This sketch and this poem are to give you something to think about for the day. PLEASE Don't start a layout yet. There is going to be more to it than just the sketch and the poem.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
Please leave me a comment and let me know what you think of the poem. I am really interested to read what you have to say.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br />
At 3:00 pm CDT, You will get the rest of the Challenge and the Rules and all that good stuff. There is one thing I do want to clarify. In the beginning I was going to make this a short challenge. However with all that is going on this week-end, and the 4th of July is coming soon - I wanted to make sure we all have plenty of time and can participate. So I will be back shortly. Hope to meet you here.</span><br />

<span style="color: red; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">4th Of July / RED WHITE AND BLUE BLOG HOP - DAY 2</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><u><span style="color: blue;">Good Morning Friends,</span></u></i></b> Here we are on day two of this fabulous Blog Hop. The Blog Hop continues until 6:00 pm (CDT) on Sunday the 23rd. I hope those of you who have stopped by are in on the GIVEAWAYS. Also that you are having fun hopping the different blogs, and visiting the Fabulous Ladies who are crafting these terrific projects. There are so many awesome craft projects to see and bring you inspiration. Today you will be seeing new projects on the blogs, so make the rounds and leave some comments for more chances to win. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><u><span style="color: red;">If you are here for the first time..</span></u></i></b> I am so glad you stopped by. Just follow the prompts in the posts and make your way around the other great blogs and see what everyone has created today. Be sure and get in on those GIVEAWAYS!!! I saw some fabulous projects yesterday to help us get in the Patriotic Spirit. The 4th of July is one of my favorite holidays by far. I love spending time with family and friends cooking-out, picnicking, festivals and fireworks. What are your favorite holidays?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><u><span style="color: blue;"><i><b>I must apologize</b></i>.</span></u> With everything going on I completely forgot that yesterday was the 1st day of Summer. For many of you it has been summer for weeks and for others, like us up here in the North, we are barely starting to see the start of summer. I found some really pretty summer pattern paper and can hardly wait to see what I can create for summer cards and layouts. Have you been doing any summer cards or layouts yet this year? Please feel free to share what you have been doing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><u><span style="color: red;">What are you all looking forward to this summer?</span></u></i></b> Do you have any plans for vacations or stay-cations? I love stay-cations. They can be a true treasure of fun and information around your own area. I like going to towns close to home that I haven't been to and seeing all the history and eating with the locals. You can discover so much close to home that you may not have ever thought of before. I hope everyone has a great summer this year and enjoy spending time with your family and friends. Capture those pictures for scrap-booking and soon for Project Faith-Book. And foremost for your own family memories</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: blue; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I do have a NEW PROJECT for today. Due to circumstances beyond my control it will be posted later today. SO PLEASE make sure to stop back and take a look. I have a special little guest assisting me today!! I think you will enjoy what is coming up!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b><i><u><span style="color: blue;">And PLEASE remember,</span></u><span style="color: #741b47;"> </span></i></b>I LOVE your comments. You all make it so fulfilling to read all the nice things you have to say. Keep stopping by and saying hi. I want this to be one of your FAVORITE blogs to visit.</span><br />

Paper slightly trimmed. And embossed the Dark Blue (might look black in the
picture) Shimmer Paper from HOTP (Hot off the Press) with The Birthday Surprise
Stars and Swirls (A2 Large) and applied 3 Dimensional Chipboard, Puffy, Glitzy
Stars, and a Sentiment Sticker. I lined the back of the Sentiment with a piece
of the Dark Blue Shimmer Paper so it wouldn’t attach to the embossing and show an
imprint. You can kind of see the foil paper shining in the table the card is
on.</span></i></div>

My granddaugter has been spending some time with her Tee-Tee, <i><span style="color: #c27ba0;">that's me!!</span></i> She couldn't say grandma when she was little so I became her Tee-Tee and boy has it stuck. More people think my name is Tee-Tee instead of Kathy. She is my crafting buddy. She loves to craft with me when she is here.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: lime; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>CRAFT ROOM PROGRESS</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am still diligently working on getting things put back the way I really want them this time. Before, as I accumulated crafting stuff it was just putting stuff where I could fit it. Now it is going to be a workable area. I do have to get this done before the carpet cleaner comes on Monday. Oh yeah, that's me! I almost forgot :-) - Yep, I'm the carpet cleaner too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: blue; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>BLOG HOP - June 21st - 23rd - It's OFFICIAL</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Not to mention we have the <span style="color: red;">BIG</span> <span style="color: blue;">BLOG</span> <span style="color: red;">HOP</span> coming up in a few weeks. Before I go any further I need to give a <b><span style="color: magenta;"><i>GREAT BIG SHOUT OUT</i></span></b>: To my wonderful friend and partner, without her I wouldn't know what I was doing. La-Vie at http://cestla-viedesigns.blogspot.com/ she has been such a blessing to me. As I promised, here is a little more information about the Blog Hop. First of all, if you have a blog and you want to join in there are a few spots left to fill. Either comment on this post or email me if you want to get in on the FUN! Let your blogging friends know too. The more the merrier, right??!! Here is what I have going so far. It is going to be a Patriotic Blog Hop. The official theme is: <span style="color: red;">4th of July 2013</span>, <span style="color: blue;">Red</span>, <span style="color: red;">White</span>, and <span style="color: red;">Blue</span>. I guess that kind of says a lot about it. Whatever is made by the bloggers on the Hop will coincide with that theme, and they are welcome to make whatever they wish and you can see their creations on their blogs. I will be posting my project on Monday as a sneak peak. I am going to do a giveaway on my site and others are welcome to do the same on their blog too. So make sure you read the rules, make the rounds, leave some love, and get in on them giveaways.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="color: lime; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><u><b>UPCOMING EVENTS</b></u></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Soon I will be setting up Bi-Monthly challenges. They will be based on a variety of different themes. One thing you will be hearing about soon is FAITH-BOOKING. Or actually, it will be called Project Faithbook. If you are not familiar with Faith-booking I will be talking about it in a few days. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have any of you been involved in Faith-booking? I would love to hear your experiences, thoughts, and ideas. Also any questions or comments you might have.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>BLOGGERS WANTED</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am going to be hosting another Giveaway through a Summer </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blog </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Scavenger Hunt. Any bloggers who are interested in getting involved with this one let me know and I will get you the details. It will take place in August.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: lime; font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><u>FAITHFUL FRIDAY CHALLENGE</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I will also be starting a Faithful Friday Challenge after the blog hop. The first topic is going to be: What is your Faith Word for this year? If you already know then you can go ahead and start that layout for your Faith Book. Or if not then be thinking of what your Faith Word is this year. I will post some faith word ideas in a few days as well. These challenges will run for a 2 week period.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please let me know if you have anything you want to discuss or questions or anything.</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Comments are <span style="color: lime;"><u><i>SUPER IMPORTANT</i></u></span> to me!! That's how I get to know you!!!</span><span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have a Great Week-end Crafty Ones and I will be back tomorrow. Right now I am diving back into that craft room and making some progress!!! Leave me a comment and let me know you stopped by. Talk to me like I talk to you. I am looking forward to it.</span><br />

<span style="color: blue; font-size: x-large;">HAPPY MONDAY</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope everyone had a great long week-end with family and friends while keeping to the real meaning of Memorial Day.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My week-end ended up being a de-clutter time around here. Since my craft room is very small (pictures to follow) I have been working on reorganizing some areas to make it easy to use and find supplies. Right now nothing is where it should be. I don't think I have ever been this disorganized but it only takes me one project to totally annihilate my room to the point it looks like a hurricane came through here.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, I will be doing a heavy duty makeover to my room this week. I will be posting a few days this week but not as much. Please don't think I ran away and deserted you all. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am going to document what I do and how I did it with this small area. So if you are working from a small area hopefully I will have some great ideas to help you out too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: red; font-size: large;"><b>These are my VERY EMBARRASSING BEFORE PICTURES</b></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now that I see these and how bad it really is I am almost afraid to share them...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know what you are thinking, " How is she going to pull this off with that mess?" LOL I am wandering the same thing. Well, now you all have seen me (craft Room) at my worst, LOL here goes nothing. Wish me luck and I hope the <i>After</i> is much better than the <i>BEFORE</i>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="color: blue; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY 2013</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Picnics, Parties, and FUN, FUN, FUN!!! This is how America celebrates Memorial Day. Yes, it is the first real holiday to kick-off the summer and families get together and enjoy the time together. Living in Minnesota and I am sure in other states also, this is the weekend that many people head up north to open their cabins and get them ready for summer too. </span><i style="background-color: white; color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 16.796875px; text-align: center;">Have an awesome day with your families and friends and let them know you love them</i></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Oh yeah, I almost forgot, we can't forget about all the sales that go on this weekend. 20% off here, 40% off there. If you are a shopper this should be a good time to get some great deals. I know they are filling up my inbox like there is no tomorrow. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But let us not forget the Veterans and Soldiers who have served us in this great country. We are so lucky to live in a FREE Country. Today is the day to honor those who gave us that right to freedom in one way or another. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I was looking online last night to find ways to honor and support our <span style="color: red;"><i>GREAT MILITARY</i></span> and the soldiers who gave their lives for this country.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
