ivys past 2 weeks

I got an email today from my friend Glo all it said was:
"Hi Ivy, Did you give up blogging for lent?"
LOL
that was my QUE to post I suppose...
I cant believe it's already been 2 weeks since my last post
I'm Traveling between my schools right now & I'm so
swamped by the time I come home my brains fried.
So sorry...

Anyway I do have some picz to share
of what I've been up to the past couple of weeks

This Sunday I did some cleaning around the scraproom
cuz I was no longer able to see my desk or my carpet
I've moved to scrapping in the upstairs hallway {LOL}

I still have some more tidying up to do BUT at least
I can see the floor and I can maybe sit on my sad chair and scrap on the table now...

After cleaning I got to relax a little bit and read my new CK Mag
{dont mind my little Toezies}
I bought new bedding for the guestroom bed from Target


Oooooh I got new polish to share
Alpine snow & Princesses rule={MY NEW FAVORITE}
I used a black striper for the zebra design :)


 
I also made a card for one of my students who got in to a really bad car accident
I felt so bad because she was SO excited about school & now because of her accident she had to stop so that she could take some time to get better :(
{Feel better soon Amanda!}

Supplies: Cardstock stickers:(Letters) Heidi grace

Scallop circle: Papersource
Circle Card: Paper Company

I want to buy THIS die cut from Stampin Up so I could make my own scallop circles :)
I also want this BUTTERFLY one too :)
I'm so glad these dies fit in my cuttlebug cuz even though I want the HELLO KITTY BIG Shot so BAD
I'm trying really hard not to cave in :)

I don't think I mentioned that recently a dear scrapping friend of mine {Ann} passed away
and the 27th was her memorial...
Ann worked with me when I worked at Archivers
anyway a lot of us became friends through A's & most of us have kept in touch
It was really nice to see the girls at Anns Memorial
heres a pic of the group :)

I feel so blessed to have met SO many friends through our passion for this craft
 

speaking of friends......
I CANT TELL you how many times I've recieved a friendship bread starter....
YET I've never made one!
so the other day my boss asks me
"Ivy would you like a friendship bread starter"
I answer {1/2 kidding & 1/2 serious}
"NO thanks I would like a friendship bread FINISHED though"
{LOL}
so the next day she came to work with.....

a finished friendship bread for me FOR REAL!
It's so YUMMY!
I didnt think it was going to be sweet desserty kinda bread
I thought it was gonna be like......toast type of bread :)
I liked it so MUCH Im planning to ATTEMPT to make a bunch more :)

OK before I leave...
check my card out on PAGE 21
in the new issue of STAMP IT magazine

YOU might have seen this card on the blog before though :)

 

I'm going away to a Scrapbook retreat this weekend at

I need to get a LOT of cards & projects finished
I'm pretty bad at cropping away from home cuz I NEVER bring
the right thing I need
does that happen to anybody else or is it just me
cuz I'm terrible at planning projects?

I'll post my adventures from Scrapinn when I get back Sunday

Have a good week :)
