Yay! Digital Scrapbooking TV is back.

Last year, Jen Caputo debuted Digital Scrapbooking TV. It was a very good online "how-to" show.
I enjoyed watching the episodes she produced.

Then she bought a house. And if you have ever bought a house, you know how that can suck up all your spare time.

And then even worse, her laptop was stolen.

So the episodes tapered off.

Lucky for me, she's back. In a slightly different format. The episodes aren't as long. But really that's ok. I don't have a lot of time. So being able to sit down and watch a 10 minute show fits my schedule.

So go check out her latest episode. Episode 5
I can't wait to get those text paths. They look like they would be a lot of fun. And if you share the new, maybe you can win a set.

Win a Quilt and a few other things.

I still have to post the Cuttlebug cards. I just didn't have enough time this weekend to get everything done. I'll try to get a few projects posted this week.


Would you like to win this quilt?


Go check out this cool contest from Dana at http://oldredbarnco.blogspot.com/
She has a nice 3 quilt giveaway going on. You have until tomorrow to enter. All 3 quilts are beautiful. Go check her blog and enter the contest. I promise you'll thank me.

I really need one of those quilts. It's getting cold here. And we need a new heating unit. So no heat isn't really fun right now. I have a space heater going. I'm waiting on the local gas company to come run a gas line and put in a meter. They should have been here Thursday or Friday. But it rained, so no men came to hook me up. Then the heater men have to come and put in the new unit. I hope this can all be worked out this week. I know if it rolls into next week, I'm going to have trouble. It's so hard to get work done in a holiday week.

And I turned 34 Saturday. I feel the same. I got a new lens for my camera. A 50 mm 1.8. I think I should have gotten the better made 50 mm 1.4. The 1.8 is noisy and I hope I can get used to that.

Why did I wait so long to buy you?

I'll be back tomorrow with a few projects.

Planning for the next week.

I'm trying to plan a little scrapping time. I hope that I can go to a friend's house Friday evening and get some stuff done. I have a few projects that I want to do for Thanksgiving. I need to make a plan and gather my materials for those projects.

I also need to plan out our Christmas cards. I can't make up my mind if I want to do a digital card or hand stamped one.

I'm planning on going to get a Cuttlebug tomorrow. I want it and a few of the embossing folders. I have my list planned out.

And I have a new camera lens coming. It's my birthday present. So I'm planning what I can shoot when it gets here.

And I have a box of paper stuff coming. So I'm planning the cute stuff I'll make when it gets here.

Now that I have my plans made. I need to make sure they get completed.

While I was waiting around Saturday for the hunters to return from the hunt, I went for a little walk. I knew there were train tracks close by. So I took my cameras and walked along the tracks looking for some cool shots. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across a junkyard in the woods. I think it is really someone's backyard. But there were about 15 cars in the pines. Here are a few shots I took. I hope you enjoy.
