Fluttering By to Say Hi! (SSD #38)
Well, isn't that the truth! I feel like I can only flutter by to say Hi! at the moment! LOL! This is actually a really fun, really quick and really easy card to create!
Here is the sketch that inspired it:
I really did my own thing with the sketch, but you can so see it in the card! Here is my card:
I started with some awesome Cosmo Cricket paper. I stamped the background image over the patterned paper for the circle cut out piece and then, after covering the back of the twill with adhesive, created a really fun ribbon banner across the top. I stamped the sentiment in black in the bottom corner and added the punched butterflies (October Afternoon paper) across the card. This card took less than 15 minutes! For reals, you guys! So easy! The only thing is that now that I look at it I am going to go back and ink the edges, I think. Just to finish it off. But seriously easy, no matter how you cut it! This is what I love about Skipping Stones Design stamps! They allow you to create so fast!!!! Love that!
Don't forget to head on over to Skipping Stones Design to see what the other Stamp Tramps and our incredible guest designers have created this week!

What do you Get When You are The Stage Manager's Wife?
The Automatic label of "Crew."
LOL! Well, not really, I told him I would help if it was needed and it is, well, needed, so I now have an INSANELY busy week ahead of me. Gotta love tech week!
Guys and Dolls. Three performances. Friday, Saturday, and a Sunday Matinee. Until then...no sleep and little eating time. LOL! But, at least I get to use my Cricut to make up the head shot board for the show!
I DID get some new shoes, over the insanely busy weekend, though! I had a Cricut demonstration down in Manchester, CT. (An hour and half away from my house, mind you.) So my wonderful husband drove down with me so we could hang in the car at least and then did some fun stuff (read: sat in Barnes and Noble and read all day) while I did my demos. BUT, we got down there a few minutes early and there was a DSW right there so he suggested we poke really quickly since I've been HUNTING DOWN a pair of Harajuku Lovers shoes for months with no success.
Well, THEY HAD THEM!!!!!! I was STOKED, dude. For reals. STOKED! I took pictures of them, but I didn't get a chance to upload them yet, but trust me when I tell you that they are WICKED CRAZY CUTE! They are jelly platform sandals and they are so adorable! I don't even really mind the three-four blisters on each foot that I got from wearing them yesterday! HA! (Gotta love breaking in new shoes! Yikes!)
So, anyway, that's what I'm up to. Kinda crazy insanity at the moment. I will be in and out this week, but super busy, so I don't know what you will see around here, to be honest. It's all up in the air, really! Well, I'm off....

My Husband Builds Random Robotic Arms, What Does Yours Do?
HA! No, really, though. The Hubbums is pretty much wicked cool. Just say'n. Wanna see what he made? Yup. You do. So, here it is!
FOR REALS! That is so cool!!! No, really. It is. It works. Do you see those neat multi-colored syringes? Those are the hydraulic powering devices. That sounds technical, I realize, but don't worry...I think I just made that up. HA!
Basically, you push the fluid through the tubes with the syringes and it causes the arm to move appropriately. Each colored section does a different task, giving the robot arm a wide range of motion.
He cut all the foam pieces (it's a high density foam used for insulation) and basically created the whole thing from scratch. It's way cool.
I told him he should spray paint it silver or black and give it red eyes so it can look like a cool scary robot. He said it is an arm and more like an industrial robot and would likely be orange or yellow like the ones in factories. Oh, and apparently arms don't HAVE eyes. I still like my plan. Arms can have eyes in my world. I mean, REALLY, I make creepy art dolls - anything can have an eye or a wing as far as I'm concerned! HA!
Oh, and you can totally pick stuff up with it. For reals. It's cool. Just say'n.
AND...don't forget to enter my GIVEAWAY!!! Here is a sneak at the first few items added. This is ONLY the beginning! There will be more to come as far as goodies go!!!

RUINED, I tell you! My reputation is going to be DESTROYED by this post. Just Say'n.
You see, every Wednesday I give you all a peek into my studio. You get to see it how it is. No holes barred. Well, that, of course, means you would have to be able to FIND a hole in that mess in order to bar it! HA! (Or is that expression actually no HOLDS barred? Hmmm....I should probably figure these things out before using them in public. Just think'n.) ANYWAY, today I am going to destroy all that you know to be true about Jingle and her studio.
Sit down, folks. Brace yourselves.
Are you ready for this?
I'm not sure I am....
HOLY CLEAN DESK BATMAN!!!! Yup, folks, this is not your mind playing tricks on you, this is REAL! That is ACTUALLY my desk and it is ACTUALLY clean.
*sigh*
Amazing, isn't it.
Want to know the best part?
I cleaned it like THREE days ago people. Four maybe....I don't even know. It was Saturday, so how many days was that? (tick, tock, tick, tock......)
Whatever. Anyway... I have even USED IT! That photo above was taken last night. and the one above that was taken AFTER the second photo! Yup...I made stuff and then I did this strange thing where you put your stuff all away where it goes right after you finish your project! Weird, huh? Yeah, I thought so, too, but the end result is pretty darned cool, if you ask me. Just say'n.
AND...that's not all folks!
No, my friends, not ONLY do I have a nice clean desk to present to you all today and not ONLY have I actually used it and then gone and done the good and proper thing by cleaning it up again, but ALSO, for the low low price of $19.99.....
...wait a minute...
..I think I lost track of myself there for a minute...
...maybe because I have a secret dream job of doing infomercials for a living. Or being on QVC. I would LOVE to be a host on QVC. I'd rock at it.
ANYWAY....I'm really all over the place today, but in addition to the awesomeness of a clean desk, I also cleaned the area BEHIND my desk!!!
You guys don't usually see this area because it is too atrocious to speak of, but today I can show you because it is all cleaned up and organized and fabulous! That's my scrap bin, so that's a little haywire, but it works for me that way, so don't knock it. K? K.
But, alas, after a few hours of hardcore cleaning nonsense I got tired and The Hubbums was making dinner, so I had to stop. Therefore, these are still a bit of a mess, but at least I can clean the cubes one at a time color by color. Let's just see if I can get that done before I make my desk a disaster again! HA!
So, there you have it, folks! My workspace! Today! As it is FOR REALS! Don't forget to enter my blogiversary giveaway while you are here! See the link at the top of the page!
