My Secret Santa Stopped By Today....

I just can't figure out who told her I LOVED snowmen and candles????

Let alone I can never get enough of Bath and Body Works soap (I swear I spend a fortune there...LOL)

Peg, you totally hit it out of the park!!!!!

Thank you so much!

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!
My blog and Peg's blog, Why? Because I'm the mommy, both were apart of

It was awesome!



Started a new blog

Just so everyone here knows I've started a new blog.

Inside BJ's Head

I've Decided that I'm still going to post scrapbook and card layouts every now and then, but I'm going to do reviews of books and stuff over there. It's what I really enjoy anyways and for those who know me they know I rather tell people about Great things than have to be limited to just one person's product as I have been for awhile.

So, with that being said I hope you'll understand. I'll be hosting a giveaway here soon for an amazon giftcard...be sure to check it out when it goes live :)

Ps-Secret Santa......Don't worry I'll still gotcha you covered!!!!!

Lots of hugs

BJ

Sorry

Sorry I haven't posted anything since I was in Las Vegas. Lots of things happen and I'm kind of at an questioning point right now as to what I'm planning on doing. I'll try and post some cool projects up here very soon and I don't know maybe I might change things up a notch or two and put something totally crazy up...like a book review or something.

Did you happen to read Kerrelyn Sparks: Eat, Prey, Love ?

It's an amazing book full of surprises to keep you on your toes. It's part of her Love at stake series and boy it doesn't let you down.

Carlos is one heck of a Cat......yes, you'll have to read the book to figure out what I mean by that...

Ok hugs-BJ

J-Mo's Papercrafting n' Scrapbooking Expo

So the expo has got off to an amazing start with over 300 people through the door on the first day... with vendors like Eyelets Etc, Crop Stop,Cri-kits, Rubber Stamp Concepts, Sparkle n Sprinkles (just to name a few) why wouldn't it be. The expo is being held in the South point casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The Make and Takes are totally to die for....and yes I will have pictures when I get back for those of you who can make it, but for those of you who can...should totally come out...The show will run again tomorrow from 10am til 4pm.

Surprise Me! Secret Santa Gift Exchange

I've decided to take my blog to new areas of the blogging world and this looked like a wonderful start.

It's a gift exchange for bloggers, how cool is that? Gifts total $15+$5(shipping) for a grand total of $20, not bad at all. Plus I think it's a wonderful way of getting to know other people outside our normal blogging world. Please visit Simple Stacie for all the details.

Tired of Snowman Poop???

Well Over at Craftbits I found this cute little spot for Elf Poop!!!!

So Break out all the Elf stamps Ladies!!!!

----Elf Poop Poem ----

I hear you've been naughty,

So listen, here's the scoop

I'm running short on coal this year,

so you get a pile of "Elf Poop" 

 

I know you've been dying to use them.....

It's a wonderful idea....Using Gum Drops, Smarties, Multi Color wrapped Candy....Image everything you can do.....Just think of all the laughs.

Christmas is going to be so much Fun this year!!!!

Found this one for Reindeer on the same site...Too funny!----

----Reindeer Poop Poem----

I woke up with such a scare when I heard Santa call

"Now dash away, dash away, dash away all!

I ran to the lawn and in the snowy white drifts,

those nasty reindeer had left "little gifts".

I got an old shovel and started to scoop

neat little piles of "reindeer poop".

But to throw them away, seemed such a waste,

So I saved them, thinking ~ you might like a taste!

As I finished my task, which took quite awhile,

Old Santa passed by and he sheepishly smiled.

And I heard him exclaim as he rose in the sky

"Well, they're not potty trained, but at least they can fly!" 

What I want for Christmas...

So I did something yesterday that I thought I would never do...I went to over 160 blogs....Yes can you believe it? Going to that many blogs made me realize that not only did my finger totally hurt, there are some amazing bloggers out there!

Well at wwww.craftgossip.com they have a contest going on where you can win what you want for Christmas and I've thought long and hard on this one...I really would like a Kindle. Since I love to read so much what a better gift in the world could there be? I mean Yes I toss around the thought of a digital camera and then decided I like my mom's so I'll just use hers(since she doesn't) and then thought about new clothes, but I like my jeans and hoodies....so Thus if the nice Elfs are listening and really want to make this dream come true...Please oh Please pick me :)

This Weekend....

This weekend in Greeley, Colorado, there is going to be the Rubber Stamp and Scrapbook Expo....How fun right?  Even better will be getting to go......I get to actually go to this one and I can't wait!!! Saturday can't get here fast enough. I heard that last weekend's show went pretty well down in Colorado Springs (I didn't get to go to that one). I really want to see all the different vendors and see what they have to offer. I love to see all the new stamps and to learn  different tricks. I have heard that Eyelets Etc will have some Amazing ....Yes I said Amazing card make and takes....so if you have a chance to go you should really stop by their booth and do a make and take....buy some eyelets....See what's cooler than a croc-a-dile...and who knows maybe we might even meet....you never know...It is a "Small world after all".

On that note what do you think of these cards?

As Promised.....

Sorry For not posting any projects for a LONG time. I was in the process of moving my craft room from my my "craft room" to the dining room. My mom just moved in with us and need a room of her own and thus was the end of my domain....No worries though I never actually had a real need for a dining room, we have an eat-in kitchen that works just fine...LOL

So here is a camping page that I did for Eyelets Etc Lets Blog site (they're a bit behind on posting but I'm sure it will be there soon)        

                                                                                                              

The Pictures were taking on a vacation to Yellowstone. My family had so much fun.It  was amazing!

I use Camping stickers, Bazzill cardstock, Eyelet Etc pattern paper, and of course Eyelet Etc eyelets.

Want a Chance to win a cricut cartridge????

 I know I got your attention didn't I???? Well I happen to know that over at Obsessed with Scrapbooking she is currently running a contest where three people will win a cartridge each. It's totally worth checking out.
