It has been the most unbelievable month this year. Got really sick the first week of November and then lost internet access for over a week (let me tell you, got a whole lot done, but it was frustrating not having internet). With no internet, I did get to redo my whole scraproom with a fresh coat of paint and all new furniture (Oh, the down side is it is all from IKEA and ment I spent hours and hours putting everything together) and it looks fantastic. I will be posting pics this weekend. The weeks that followed have been so very busy that I didn't even have time to think. This is really my first day, well evening back to normal (this is only going to last until the 22nd of December then all the mess will truly begin for me). I did do one project during the whole month of November and that was my calling cards for a swap I am in. I will post pics of those also this weekend (I am still putting stuff away in my scraproom and my camera is at the bottom of the mess left. LOL), so lots of pics going up this weekend.
Otherwise life has been good, my family is doing good and DH and I are still working, so I feel I am still blessed.
I did do some after Thanksgiving shopping, but will go into that later with Pics and post as the stuff comes in. I know what a tease. Oh, 3 things did come in today via a friend of mine. She went to AZ for the week and got to go shopping and got me 2 of the new Cricut Lite Carts at Wally World for $20 ea. and a new Cutterpede paper trimmer. So if I get to my camera sometime this evening or tomorrow after work, I will take some pics and post on here.
But a big Thank You to my friend Wendy for getting those for me. I still want Jolly Holiday Cricut Lite, but I guess I will have to wait.
Well need to get off and get my little one to bed.
God Bless you all.

Monday morning Blahs
LOL!!! I hardly ever work on a Monday, but today I am going to work. YUKE!!! I just want to climb back in my warm bed and cuddle up with my fur babies. I know just plain lazy.
Well the blog hop this weekend went well and my Daughter will be drawing the 2 winners tonight. I know why don't I use Random.org? Well my 10 year old loves to do this drawings. She says it is fun and makes her feel like she is winning something, which I always end up giving her something. lol I am a real push over when it comes to things like that.
I have one really funny thing that a friend of mine told me yesterday and I thought I would share. We were talking about my Hoarding of my scrapbook papers and supplies, and she refered to me as a "HOARD A HAULER!" Because when I go shopping I really do go all out. It is truly not good, but it was really funny. She went with me to the Scrapbook Expo and saw what I ended up bringing home. She just shakes her head at me and laughs. She is a really great scrapper and has wonderful kits that she sells. She is the Bling Queen aka Wendy Lawrence. So if you go over to my side board you will find her blinkie and go check out her great projects. She is also a designer for Everyday Cricut.
Well off to work, so hope everyone has a wonderful day. God Bless and keep you all safe and healthy.

Bits-N-Pieces http://bitz-n-pieces89.blogspot.com/
WamFamily http://wamfamily.blogspot.com/ YOU ARE HERE!!!
For this project I stayed in my comfort zone and did a 2 page layout. The layout is about the Our Thankful Blessings, such as Home and Family. I design all my layouts on Design Studio and then pick the papers and embellishment that I want to use. Details are below pictures as well as Blog Candy!!!
Page 1
Page 2
Cartridges use:
Creative Memories - Reminisce Accents - All the wording and welding in Design Studio.
Storybook - Top boader Flourishes (welding in DS), Corner Flourishes, and Photo Mat Flourishes
Disneys - Happily Ever After - Pumpkin Flourish on bottom of both pages
Top Flourishes were 5.176 x 1.601 with two (one on each page) flipped and then welded together
Corner Flourishes were 2 x 2.007 with one being flipped
Photo Corner Flourishes were 1 x 1.004 with four (two on each page) flipped
Pumpkin Flourishes were 5.831 x 3.004 with one being flipped
Words (Home, Our, Family and Blessings) were 1.5 inches with each letter being welded together
Word (Thankful) was 2.5 with each letter being welding together
The Background paper was from DCWV Natural stack. The rest of the papers were misc. cardstock from scraps I had (trying to be green).
Embellishments - Gold glittered leaves are Flora Doodles by Petaloo. The Metalic pack. The gems are Say it with bling orange and champange from What 2 Scrap. These are on the top border, photo corners and the dots for the "i" in Blessings and Family.
All the edges where inked with Dew Drop-VersaMagic Jumbo Java chalk ink. Only the photo mats where chalked in Gingerbread.
Hope you enjoyed my project and I have blog candy for all who post a comment. There is one Candy for each of the 2 days.

Thanksgiving Blog Hop Day 1
Well this is it, the blog hop has started. I should be the last one on your list, so be sure to check my list to see that you have hit everyone. If you are just starting, you need to go to http://digi-scrap.blogspot.com/ .
All righty!!! For those of you in the right place, I will be doing a drawing on Monday for some Blog Candy. More information and pictures of the candy are further down in the post. I hope you have enjoyed your journey through the 2 day Thanksgiving Blog Hop. I am glad to have you here. I have jumped out of my comfort zone and created a card. I usually do scrapbook layouts cause this is my true love. Well a friend said I need to work doing more cards. So here is my creation:
Here is the inside:
The cut is found on the Celebrate with Flourish lite cartridge available at Walmart. The only thing that I did was made 3 cuts of the Acorn layer on the large flourish and 2 cuts on the small flourish (inside the card). I then trimmed the pieces to have the bottom (the seed), the center (acorn cap), and the top (the stem) so it would have a more layered look on the large flourish on the front of the card. The smaller flourish in the inside of the card I only did the bottom (the seed) for the layer. The large flourish on front of card was cut at 2.25", the small flourish inside the card was cut at 1.25", both these cuts where done using the Design Studio software. All the cut pieces were inked with Dew Drop - Versa Magic - Jumbo Java chalk ink.
The paper that was used was Creative Memories for the pattern paper, not sure of the pattern name. The cardstock is from my stash, so don't actually know the maker. The fiber is from a grab bag I purchased a while ago, and the brads are from Queen & Co. The stamp set used is from The Pink Stamper - Everyday Life collection using Dew Drop - Versa Magic - Jumbo Java chalk ink on a standard A2 card.
Hope you liked all that you saw and remember tomorrow is another project and another chance to win some Blog Candy.
The winner of todays (Saturdays) posting will receive the Day Dreams paper stack by K&Company and 4 rolls of ribbon by Friends Forever and Lollysticks.
Saturday Blog Hop Candy:
The winner of tommorrows (Sundays) posting will receive a Sunburst Circle Journal by Pebbles Inc and clear stamp by Sarah Kay called Rose Garden.
Sundays Blog Hop Candy:
Here is the list with links to all the blogs you should have hopped onto, so if you need to see something else on any of these blogs the links will take you there.

Fall Cleaning
I know not fun, but very neccessary in my house. For the last 2 days I have been cleaning and designing on the DS. Well lets say cleaning 90% of the time and 10% designing and surfing. lol
Well I have purged several files, a closet and several drawers. I have filled 2 large trash bags with stuff to throw away. I still have 1/2 of my craft room to finish with and my daughters room (dreading DD room). Those will have to wait till next week onTuesday or Thursday.
I am going to go to the Scrapbook Expo in Sacramento on Friday with a good friend of mine. Her name is Wendy or better known as the "Bling Queen". Here is the link to her blog: http://lvscrappin.blogspot.com/ she does some amazing things with her paper crafting. I am really looking forward to going to the Expo, I haven't been to one in years.
Well need to get back to work finishing my projects for this weekends Blog Hop. I will put details up tomorrow so you will know when where and who.
God bless you all.
