Calling All Scrapbooker’s!

April 3, 2007 by Tsoniki Leave a Comment

A friend (and craft business colleague!) just launched a great new e-book – Everything About Paper. Vera Raposo also owns and operates Scrappers Talk Radio – an internet radio show just for scrappers!

I know I’ve mentioned it before, but I am just not a scrapper. I tried and have completed seven or eight pages. My problem (other then the ‘fact’ that pictures belong in an album in order that they were taken 😉 ) is I don’t leave enough room for journaling. And that is what scrapping is all about right? Leaving words and pictures for future generations.

I am interested in a time capsule scrapbook – I’ll have to find the video to share on here, but my friend Marie made a video showing her time capsule book and wow what a great idea! Marie is going to be one of the first guests on my new craft podcast and we’ll be talking about her scrapbooking ideas.

Check out the Everything About Paper ebook, learn everything you can about paper and share your scrapbook pictures so we can all see what you have accomplished.

Having A Hard Time

April 3, 2007 by Tsoniki 6 Comments

I’m having such a hard time right now. Or rather, since moving to the laptop. I do love it. I love being downstairs and being online. I love that I managed to move just about everything over to this machine very easily.

I’m having a hard time because I can’t find my cd for my digital camera. And though I found the software for it online, my computer refuses to recognize it. Whenever I plug the camera in there appears to be zero pictures on it, when I know there are quite a few. All that means is I have to go to the desktop to get the pictures off the camera, tweak them, and then add them to flickr so I can come back to my laptop, download from flickr and then post to my blog. All in all a boring process!

I’m working on it though because I’ve fallen in love with Polly Pocket toys, we tried to grow a crystal and I got new stamps!

I love, love, love these new stamps and can’t wait to get started. I need to make my Easter cards and I am using the new stamps so I need to get them cut and mounted. I got the cutest Easter stamps and can’t wait to get them done as tomorrow will probably be a very full crafty day!

Latest Kids Project

March 24, 2007 by Tsoniki 20 Comments

A couple of weeks ago we stopped by the craft store and grabbed a couple of Klutz kits. I waver between thinking they are a great deal because they have everything you will need to complete the project and thinking they are expensive. And yes, that’s the coupon loving, clearance shopping part of me talking!

Anyway, we bought the potholder kit and finally opened it up. Alice loves it!

Starting out….

Five rows of weaving and she’s got it!

And this one is done.

She loves it so much she wanted to do more. There is a project in the book that had you make two potholders and then stitch them together to make a purse.

Moving right along…

And in other kid accomplishments – Alice learned how to tie her shoes by herself! This was the first day she did it.

Paper Toy Link

February 11, 2007 by Tsoniki 4 Comments

If you haven’t already, check out TheToyMaker.com. I just found out about the site recently and wow – it is just so fun! I just got the Valentine’s newsletter she sends out and I printed six of the project she sent out. I’m always looking for new stuff for the kids to do. Granted, they are toys made out of paper so who knows how long they will last. LOL But it is quick and easy and fun – and it is free but you can donate.

The site is full of paper projects but I haven’t printed any yet. The newsletter is full of so many other things that they keep us busy.

Have fun!
