Congrats Jessica! Email your address to scrapmojo@sbcglobal.net and I will get those cards to you soon!


If you didn't win that prize but are in a prize winning mood, I have another blog hop going on till midnight tonight. The hambly post below this one. If you leave me a comment there and become a follower then I will send you a little something.

Even after all that hoppin I managed to pump out a few layouts. Here is one I did for the Studio Calico Sunday Sketch.




A picture of the giant dipper in Santa Cruz. This ride is one of my favs but it kills my back every time. I mean even when I was a kid! I have to say my 84 year old grandmother went on it! She was hurting for a while after tho! I hope I am that way when I get to be her age.

And a few more just because I love to create with my hands!



I did this photo for the photo a day challenge in feb. I try to find a different way of photographing things on that list. This one was a heart.




Another a photo a day pic. Again me being silly. I love silly.




Instagram photo. I really do adore spring. It is not to hot, not to cold. The flowers are blooming and birds are singing. Ahhh! I must say I do also love fall tho. Hehe!

One last thing...Another blog hop is coming this weekend...32 blogs are on the list! That is 32 chances to win some fab prizes. Will you be there?

Heavy heart

Welcome to the Fond Farwell hambly blog hop. I have been honored and so happy to have been on this dt. The ladies are so very talented and it was a pleasure working with them!

It is with a heavy heart and a tear in my eye that I type this right now. I have been scrapbooking for 9 years now and I have to say Hambly has been a constant in my journey. I have loved their products from the get go. The designs have always been on the cutting edge and brought inspiration to me. I will miss them deeply.

I guess all good things come to an end. To celebrate my love for hambly I did one last project to share with you all. Of course this doesnt mean the end of me using hambly. I have a stock pile to last me a while.


Before I show you the new let me show you the old. I made this a while back and it was published in scrapbook trends mini album book. I wasnt able to share till now. Used lots of hambly on this one


Now with the new. I made this one to showcase all my little instagram photos I have been taking daily. Something simple, yet beautiful. I love how it turned out. I hope you do too.








































































What is a blog hop without a prize...Well I will be giving away a little hambly lovely-ness something made by me. Just become a follower and leave me a comment telling me you did so. If you are already a follower leave me a comment about what you will miss most about hambly.

Thank you all for joining me on this journey.

Your next stop is.... Mou Saha

Your teacher teaches class like you're some kind of jerk

I have issues. Issues with working. As you may know I am a Registered Dental Assistant. So not what I wanted to be when I grew up. I have been crafty my whole life. I mean seriously. I can thank my mom for that. I guess it only natural that the only thing I want to do is make stuff. I love creating. I day dream everyday of owning my own business. I have the place picked out. I know I have blogged about this before but it really weighs on my mind. I NEED to make it happen. I will. Maybe. HAHA! Anyway on to more stuff I made with my hands.

More studio calico kit making. April. I swear I used almost every bit of that kit! I LOVED IT!

Another page I had made with hambly. Sniff sniff. I am so gonna miss that company. I am glad tho that the designer Allison is moving on to other things. She is very talented.

Lastly I am gonna get a little more real with you all. Something that really bugged me when it happened. It goes like this...

How could I have forgotten? I can't believe I did, oh but I did. I forgot to blog about the current passing of MCA. Sometimes life has a way of moving so quick u forget things. Even things that have meaning. His death had meaning to me. I know exactly where I was when I heard you gotta fight. I was maybe 7. I grew up with their music. Even all those years later (5) I bought their TAPE license to Ill. It still was awesome. Still had mad beats. Still rocked my socks off. How could 3 white boys rap so good? They just did. They continued to spit mad lyrics. Through out my whole life and never expected it to end this soon. When I heard of MCA passing my heart immediately ached. My eyes filled with tears and I felt as if someone close to me was gone. Strange. I can't explain why I feel so sad but I do. I am sad for his wife. His daughter. His friends and family. Missed by me deeply.
