It's a Fiskars product. As soon as I heard about them, I sent in my name and got some free ones in the mail for the kids. You can see what Evelyn did with hers. She zing'd her guitar hero guitar. Neat-o. what else can you zingz??</span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-91560486939112408782008-03-18T10:06:00.000-07:002008-03-18T10:10:22.290-07:00I'm here, just haven't been very active<span style="color:#006600;">If you have been wondering where I have been, well, I'm here. I just have not been on the computer very much. I had carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand February 19. Still recovering and regaining the use of my hand again. I have had my scrap stuff out in the living room for over a week now. I have been going slowly. It's hard to use scissors! But I have done many layouts and also a few fun projects. I'll get them posted here soon. I'll be of work for a few more weeks and hoping to get a lot done.</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">Our April crop weekend is sold out! It went quickly this time. I'm so excited. I've been busy handling the registration and confirming rooms with the hotel and shopping. Now, I do love to shop for fun things.!</span><br /><span style="color:#006600;"></span><br /><span style="color:#006600;">Happy crafting .............</span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-69259002869051961312008-02-15T22:25:00.000-08:002008-02-15T22:52:34.508-08:00CHA day 3<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWbrfFXyl7VbAUW7hzF5qF65nuq1YAhJe8fKq5CD6sILL-cZuzmdKmrr-sdh8HynyH5IE3TFwJTJuJ6GM2vQZ4Iu1PrNh97oJpG4xysbAHqicCXTHm22a85l7KO-bZ4FYrdwjOyW52Q4/s1600-h/100_8750.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167467043121604546" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWbrfFXyl7VbAUW7hzF5qF65nuq1YAhJe8fKq5CD6sILL-cZuzmdKmrr-sdh8HynyH5IE3TFwJTJuJ6GM2vQZ4Iu1PrNh97oJpG4xysbAHqicCXTHm22a85l7KO-bZ4FYrdwjOyW52Q4/s320/100_8750.jpg" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#6600cc;">Here I am at the Heidi Grace make & take booth. Day 3 making gum drop kabobs. Easy, fun and oh so yummy.</span><br /><br /><div><span style="color:#330099;">As promised, here are pictures from CHA. Lot's of pictures.<br />Day 3 was slower than the others as the show was starting to wind down. My make and take booth was not as busy as the previous days and this gave me time to browse around the other booths.<br />Once again my back pack was super heavy filled with all the magazines and catalogs I picked up wandering through the show. I was so exhausted on Tuesday, had not slept well the night before, and had a headache and sore throat. But I stuck it out and went anyways. I didn't want to miss a thing.<br />I sure hope I get a chance to do this again. Maybe Chicago in the Spring? Hmmmm. It's a thought. But for sure next February when it's back in Anaheim.<br />So, now for photos, and lots of them. My blog has not had many photos on it anyways. And they are not in any particular order.</span></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhwm3ijcGZSw_59QJL8POfZ8QzOBVaFjDfdRq8wB5VLM5iW5SYhFI8OnayCvBiwaQrmysP9Kq25qZOMh3dkwpo3Mt5k2gOe7XFgcvJj8_NkgRZYulT23mEbzrTt2TYmtcehNvqCvj4MBc/s1600-h/IMG_1338.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5167464637939918722" style="DISPLAY: block;

I worked again in the Heidi Grace booth doing another make and take. This time a cute licorace goodie bag, using the Fiskars squeeze punch, HG rubons, paper and ribbon. So cute! I love licorice. I was so busy over there, I only got to taste 2 vines of licorice. Oh well. No celebrety sightings today, at least that I know of. But the fun gals from TX returned to my booth today. I met gals from the Netherlands, Sweeden, Mexico, France, London, Canada, New Zealand, Australia and of course all over the US. I met this great gal from PA who has a scrap store just outside Pittsburgh. Got her name and number and will call her when I get a chance to go to Pittsburgh with Tom. Hopefully she will join up as a Fiskateer.Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-14479519220399259612008-02-15T22:22:00.000-08:002008-02-15T22:23:37.603-08:00CHA Anaheim Day 1Was just amazing! Tara and I headed up to Anaheim aroun 9am, got checked in and started walking through the convention center. Everything imaginable for crafts and hobbies - paint, fabric, wood, scrapbooking, jewelry making, tools, stamping, printers, and the list goes on and on. We visited so many booths and got so many freebies! My bag was bursting, and heavy. If we wore a Cricut t-shirt we got a free, yes free, cricut cartridge! Ok, I'll wear a shirt for a free cartridge. Got a few other t-shirts, magazines, plastic storage bags, can't even remember it all. I will have to dig through my stuff later on.We hit the Fiskars booth (without our Cricut shirts on) before our 1:00 shift started. We got our official Fiskateer shirts, aprons, tags and were prepped on how to man our stations. But first......I can not believe it........ We walked out of the room where we left our bags and got our shirts and who did I spy??? Mark from Ten Years Younger on TLC and Nadia one of the mavens on Home Made Simple! I love Homemade Simple! Sometimes I do watch Ten Years Younger during lunch. I got so giddy. I got both of them to sign my shirt and chatted for a few minutes.What nice people they are, to spend some time chatting with a huge fan that they don't even know. That just really made my day. I also hooked Nadia up with Stephanie, one of the lead Fiskateers. Might be seeing some Fiskars products on that show later on. My shift went by so fast. I was asked so many questions about the Heidi Grace product line. I had no idea how to answer but was able to refer the asker to the very knowledgeable Heidi Grace designers who were working the booth. By the end of my shift I sure learned a lot more than when I first got there. I also met people from Germany, Sweeden, Australia, China, Mexico and all ove the US. At my booth people could make these really cute treat holders. They were a big hit as many people were bringing them back home for their kids. By the end of the day, I was tired, hoarse, and my legs were sure aching. But I had so much fun!Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-35246813865892383622008-02-07T08:55:00.001-08:002008-02-07T09:00:20.096-08:00Crops2Remember April 208 Crop<span style="font-family:arial;font-size:130%;color:#660000;">It's that time again........time to register for our April 2008 weekend crop.

I am a Certified Fiskars Demonstrator. Have my official name badge, certificate and training manual. Wow!</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">I have been wanting to put the creative part of me to work for a long time. I found it through the Fiskateers. What a wonderful group of women these are. All around the world, women can get together on one awesome site and share their love for crafting. Does not have to be scrapbooking. Some sew, quilt, bead, make cards, stamp, you name it. These folks love crafting. Like me.</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">When I heard of the demonstrator training I jumped on board right away. My friend Tara also jumped on board, probably right before me as she is pretty quick. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">We met Stephanie and Anita and Cheryl, one of the lead Fiskateers joined us. We met other Fiskateers local to our area as well as some soon to be Fiskateers. So much fun! We also got to win fun prizes. I love winning prizes. I won a fun clear stamp set. </span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"></span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">Tara and I are also going to be demonstrators for Fiskars at CHA in February. CHA is in Anaheim and not too far from home. I have always wanted to go to CHA and I have always wanted to work at it or an Expo. Now I have my chance.</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;"></span></strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff6600;">Now that this door has opened for me, I have to find fun ways to put this to use. I already have some plans churning around in my head. If anyone needs a Fiskars demonstrator, I am the gal for you.</span></strong><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ4KHqMCVCUCRSVmsFYK6vZwkdWLSFJIYJbQI01SlNJRUY4G-s1aygAZo-ciXCqSZv5MNQ4b4K1j5tW6M_u8iLg_xels2oYtQr5tMRytia5EnTKoIDER6waYbhQk3OdJeLtF79a0jZkTM/s1600-h/IMG_1243_edited-1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153586174559990306" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQ4KHqMCVCUCRSVmsFYK6vZwkdWLSFJIYJbQI01SlNJRUY4G-s1aygAZo-ciXCqSZv5MNQ4b4K1j5tW6M_u8iLg_xels2oYtQr5tMRytia5EnTKoIDER6waYbhQk3OdJeLtF79a0jZkTM/s400/IMG_1243_edited-1.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#ff6600;">We got to play with all the fun punches, border punches, embossing tools, cutters, drills, and have yummy Fiskar colored snacks. </span><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA81WN-FzFVkgoWH4NkKwGCX989p6zd2C45x-RHC4MGI07Fw-4UaxcZeEs8qu0OVNts6-Dae53I-DHqhf9z2rn2NUWMq6cd6_VSYDeYfjKmJdZbVky10_KvDKvy4VghKRXEzbTosyX9YI/s1600-h/IMG_1244.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153586183149924914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA81WN-FzFVkgoWH4NkKwGCX989p6zd2C45x-RHC4MGI07Fw-4UaxcZeEs8qu0OVNts6-Dae53I-DHqhf9z2rn2NUWMq6cd6_VSYDeYfjKmJdZbVky10_KvDKvy4VghKRXEzbTosyX9YI/s400/IMG_1244.JPG" border="0" /></a> <span style="color:#ff6600;">Me and Tara taking a break to pose for a picture.</span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-13640713416541994132007-12-31T17:59:00.000-08:002007-12-31T18:29:56.958-08:00Happy New Year!<strong><span style="font-family:courier new;color:#000066;">Happy New Year everyone.

I have been neglectful. But if you read my other blog, you will know I have no time. Oh, wait, plenty of time, but not for scrapping and fun projects. I have done some things, have taken a fun class and actually just went to a fun scrap day. That one, I helped plan. Oh, I know I have also been tagged a few times.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">So my friends and my trusty blog.........I have not forgotten you. I promise I will post, reply to my tag and keep up this blog, at least for awhile.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">If you have been wondering where I have been......I've been a busy mom wearing many hats: Football mom, Soccer mom, Horse mom, homework mom, carpool mom and the list goes on...... It's been busy since early August with football, then soccer, then school starting which brings on carpool and homework and school projects. Oh, and I have a full time job. No I am not being sarcastic. Not in my nature, just a little punchy now as I am still a bit overwhelmed.</span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">But I did have a great time on Saturday at our C2R first day crop at the Red Bee in Tustin. What a great store and a great bunch of folks who work there and who own the store. And what a great group of gals who came to crop. :) I can't wait to go back to a scrap night there, even if it is a little drive. I unpacked my stuff and left it in the garage. Tom is out of town this week so I figured since we no longer have football practice, only soccer, I can spend some time putting things away where they belong and organizing my closet a little better. I did clean out my office closet yesterday. Looking nice!! Photo op? maybe. </span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Well, my scrappy friends, I must sign off. Almost time for the kids to be home and me to be homework/snack mom. I am hoping to squeeze in a quick (yeah right) trip to the mall too. </span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-71591515645021179462007-08-18T07:30:00.000-07:002007-08-18T07:32:28.669-07:00I got to scrap last nightOh yea, uh huh, I got to scrap last night.<br />It was getting late, close to 8, and I was home all alone. So, I decided to drag it all out into the living room and set up there. I got 4 pages done. 2 almost done. I am leaving it up so I can continue tonight. Oh yea, uh huh! Have so many pages to post. <br />Time to get ready for the first football scrimmage today. Big day for Greg. He is still asleep. shhh. Hope he sleeps till 8 or later.

Stuff all over the place and contstant rummaging around to find what i need. I don't have a crafts room or even a small corner to put my stuff in. So, it's shoved in my closet and the office closet. Oh, office, that sounds like a good place for stuff. Well, no, not really. This is where I work all day at my job. Tom' stuff is in her as well as a desk for the kids computer. It's a small room and very overlly crowded. It's also the place where stuff is dumped unitl it finds a home. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;"></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#000066;">So, after my fun Crops2Remember weekend early August, I left all my stuff out with the hopes of organizing and purging. I have already purged so much! So, anyways, last weekend I decided to give it my best organizing and consolodating. I did it too. I broke down and bought a vintage suitcase from Angels Scrapbook Garden. And got another XL tote from Michaels (yeah for 40% coupons!) Still have to put the tote to good use as I just got it yesterday.</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwgQh0uYddi7BA4iXm8AllqlihCVm6NMY_L1mnWhXxuvT8LlS7rBRzw3lXkhUdAqc9LOVbKyI7wq6ipHNTL1IzRrqGAjJtRjzIh3u4tMquroGi5R2z1QkAIKQ7NUvBYC1d3T_rNkmv8Sg/s1600-h/100_7457.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5099383170481483954" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwgQh0uYddi7BA4iXm8AllqlihCVm6NMY_L1mnWhXxuvT8LlS7rBRzw3lXkhUdAqc9LOVbKyI7wq6ipHNTL1IzRrqGAjJtRjzIh3u4tMquroGi5R2z1QkAIKQ7NUvBYC1d3T_rNkmv8Sg/s320/100_7457.jpg" border="0" /></a> What a mess!

Glittery glue. And what girl does not like glitter and a little bling bling in her scrap books. So, I went to my favorite shopping mall (ebay) and found a gal that sells in quantities. Got 1o of my choice. Even got these pretty flowers from her. I like the containers and wall hanger too and want to hang it up on my wall. But what wall? Maybe when I get a scrap corner :)<br /><br />My new XL tote is not pictured here. But, the gree/blue collapsable rolling box will be transferred into the tote. I am hoping I will be able to stack it on top of the other tote and roll them around together. Ok, now I really need another scrap night/weekend. I am all orgaznied and ready to go! I have so many projects I need to finish up too. OH, that reminds me, need to order even more pictures too.<br /><br />Oh happy scrap day!Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-863811347637981752007-08-09T23:02:00.001-07:002007-08-09T23:06:30.250-07:00Freckle Friends SaleOh, hurry, check out <a href="http://www.frecklefriends.com/">www.frecklefriends.com</a> for their great sale.

The term (in its modern usage) therefore has nothing to do with the Moon's actually color. A blue moon occurs about once in 2.5 years on average. A blue moon can occur in January and the following March if there is no </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/FullMoon.html"><span style="color:#000066;">full moon</span></a><span style="color:#000066;"> at all in February, as is the case in the years 1999, 2018, and 2037.<br />There are several other meanings ascribed to the term "blue moon" (the most common being "a very uncommon event"), but the one given here seems first to have appeared in The Maine Farmers' Almanac of 1937. The phrase "blue moon" has been around for several hundred years, but its meaning has changed a few times. The earliest use of "blue moon" meant an obvious absurdity which everyone knew never happened. However, the moon does occasionally turn blue as a result of smoke from forest fires or particles from a volcanic eruption. Since these blue-looking moons were rare but did happen from time to time, the phrase "once in a blue moon" was coined, meaning that an event is unusual, but can happen occasionally (Kibbey). "Blue moon" has also been used as a symbol of sadness and loneliness. That appears to have a history of its own among musicians and songwriters (Kibbey).<br />The following table lists all blue moons from 1990 to 2010 for dates in </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/UniversalTime.html"><span style="color:#000066;">universal time</span></a><span style="color:#000066;">. Note that because the </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/FullMoon.html"><span style="color:#000066;">full moon</span></a><span style="color:#000066;"> occurs at different times (and therefore potentially on different calendar days and in different calendar months) in different </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/TimeZone.html"><span style="color:#000066;">time zones</span></a><span style="color:#000066;">, the occurrence of blue moons is </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/TimeZone.html"><span style="color:#000066;">time zone</span></a><span style="color:#000066;"> (and </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/DaylightSavingTime.html"><span style="color:#000066;">daylight saving time</span></a><span style="color:#000066;">) dependent. For example, a blue moon occurs on May 31, 2007 in the Eastern Daylight Time zone, but on June 30, 2007 in </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/UniversalTime.html"><span style="color:#000066;">universal time</span></a><span style="color:#000066;">. Blue moons cannot occur in February, since the Moon's synodic period is 29.531 days, but February is 29 days at its longest (during a </span><a href="http://scienceworld.wolfram.com/astronomy/LeapYear.html"><span style="color:#000066;">leap year</span></a><span style="color:#000066;">).<br /><br /><br /></span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-3300727763500597902007-05-30T22:08:00.000-07:002007-05-30T22:12:15.128-07:00I'm not neglecting you, promiseI know it's been awhile since I have posted here. :( Busy getting through the end of the school year, baseball, and just whatever life tosses at me. Everytime I think I have some time to scrap, something else comes up. Well, hopefully that will change this weekend and I can complete a project I really want to get to and also do some scrapping.<br />Last weekend I did organize most of my pictures. Have to do some shopping too. Oh what fun! I love to shop..... especially for fun stuff.<br />My secret project that I was working on was entered into a contest. Well, I didn't win, but that's ok. First scrap type of contest I have entered into. The project was something I would have done anyways, regardless of the contest and winning some cash. I don't have it back yet, looks like June. But it may get published anyways, so I am told. Yippee!! My first time. I will for sure share when I am done. Hint.......it has something to do with base ball.Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-52899545471382802642007-05-21T21:28:00.000-07:002007-05-21T21:31:30.826-07:00Got pictures?I do. 236 to be exact. Found a nice box from Snapfish filled with pictures sitting on my front porch today. Now just need to find the time to sit down to scrap. Baseball has a lull for about 1 1/2 weeks until the TOC. School is out June 2. Hmmm, maybe I can get away one Saturday and spend the day at Angels scrapping. Hope so. <br />I am still trying to put things away from the last weekend. Yikes, I just don't have the room.

I enjoyed every minute of it - enjoyed meeting new friends, scrapping and just having a super time.<br />I know I already posted about it but here are some pictures. I spent Sunday uploading 236 pictures to Snapfish. Have a lot of scrapping to do when I get them back. When is the next weekend, oh yea, August. Is it August yet? </span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8iyRB3qMwwMRRr6LZqv-VZNKsgyohkVI8JvHb-Q9wfkZ6pW6WXzxfChFUyejGL2f5R07O3WBqCoXyoX6r07_cMtlgBe615LTEqL-CDTl4DZD0dnb4Hd7a-Rj76lVRqKLwG_fz4hm2QDo/s1600-h/100_6222.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5064934222802713282" style="DISPLAY: block;

It was a devastating time, but with the love and support of the Susan G. Komen foundation (and friends and family!) Barbara made it through, as well as Michele's Step-Mom Marilyn who continues to fight, and is still CANCER FREE!!!Our team is made up of family and friends and it just wouldn't be the same without you! :) </span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">Last year I did the 1 mile Family Fun walk with Evelyn and we had such a great time. Evelyn could see first hand what a difference people can make in the fight against this horrible disease. This year I signed up for the co-ed 5K run/walk. Evelyn has shown an interest in running so her and I will train for the 5K run. </span><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">You may sign up for whatever race or walk you'd like (or sleep in!)....BUT your contribution to our team matters and we need you!!Registration is open....won't you sign up and join my family on the "Bagley Bunch" Team #413!? </span><br /><a style="COLOR: rgb(51,51,255)" href="https://www.kintera.org/faf/login/teamPageEdit.asp?ievent=227667&lis=0&kntae227667=CED3450D88F54B4789D111FBA15FF809&page=view"><span style="color:#cc33cc;">https://www.kintera.org/faf/login/teamPageEdit.asp?ievent=227667&lis=0&kntae227667=CED3450D88F54B4789D111FBA15FF809&page=view</span></a><br /><span style="color:#cc33cc;">If you are unable to join our team, but would like to offer a donation and support our efforts....THANK YOU and GOD BLESS YOU!

It was our first Crops2Remember scrap weekend. We have a wonderful group of ladies from all over So. Cal. I enjoyed every moment of the weekend. I was exhausted but it sure was worth it. I really enjoyed meeting each and every person at the weekend. You ladies are great! <br />We had some guests come to the weekend also Stephanie from Me and My Big Ideas, Fiskateer Cheryl, Beth from Heritage Makers and Debbie from Freckle Friends.<br />I managed to get a lot of pages done too in between chatting and getting food ready and raffle drawings.<br />I can't wait till our August weekend and to start planning future weekends.<br />Thanks ladies for your wonderful support and making this such a memorable weekend.<br />And also a special thank you to Jessica, Nan and Michele. We all worked together as a team to get this from an idea to details on a pink piece of scratch paper to a successful weekend.Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-23521479912497268122007-04-16T21:52:00.000-07:002007-04-17T09:24:05.807-07:00I am working on a secret project<span style="font-family:georgia;color:#000066;">Yes, I am. I have decided to make a project to enter into a contest at Angels Scrapbook Garden. My LSS. <a href="http://www.angelsscrapbookgarden.com/">http://www.angelsscrapbookgarden.com/</a>. I sure wish I could post a picture here but can't till the contest is over. It involves the Bind it All (<a href="http://www.binditall.com/">http://www.binditall.com/</a>). I had a long chat with Lisa today about the project. I am now convinced to enter. Thank you Lisa! Maybe I will get to work on my second idea too. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I went to the scrap night on Friday night. I got there at 5, rather than 6 to start work on my project. I had it safely tucked away before the 6:00 crowd got there. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">But I am happy to say, I did start 2 projects at Angels. I finished them at home as I needed my Cricut to cut the letters. I will download the photos and post them here in a few days. Need to mail them off to the recipients. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">I also got started on another lay out. Adventure Princesses. Its' a fun one! I didn't get to finish as I was too busy chatting with Lanetta and Judy and also TJ and her group of fun gals. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Oh, and I got a crop-a-dile. What fun! Now it is easy to set eyelets and to punch holes in cd's and other stuff. Used my Michaels coupon for a great deal. I have so many eyelets and brads that I have not been using as they are hard to set. But this tool sure makes it easy to set them. I made some fun flowers on Sunday. </span><br /><span style="color:#000066;">Ok, I know I am rambling and said I was calling it a night. </span><span style="color:#000066;">Good night everyone!!</span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-71040897404693135842007-04-16T21:35:00.000-07:002007-04-16T21:45:35.047-07:00Crops2Remember<span style="color:#660000;">I am so excited! Our Crops2Remember first crop is just around the corner. April 27 - 29 here in Lake Forest, CA. Oh my. I remember when Michele, Jessica and I first jotted down our ideas on that piece of scrap paper in January. Wow, and here we are about to launch our first weekend crop. </span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">We met on Saturday and boy oh boy, have we got tons of great stuff! Just a few finishing touches and it's ready to go. I won't post any pictures of the goodies yet, will just have to wait till the weekend is over. </span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">We have some local vendors coming to our crop too. Me and My Big Ideas is coming on Friday night. Check them out at <a href="http://www.meandmybigideas.com/">www.meandmybigideas.com</a> . Our own Fiskateer Cheryl is coming on Saturday, <a href="http://www.fiskateers.com/">www.fiskateers.com</a> (I am #1154 and got my engraved scissors today! ~ Thanks you Fiskars).</span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">Back to MAMBI (Me and My Big Ideas). I knew they were local and am so excited to meet Stephanie. I used to use their kids stickers in my books when the kids were younger. I could always find the perfect blond boys and girls. I still use their product to this day. </span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">Fiskateers, love that site. I am on it way too much. But there are so many great ladies there. Love the message board and am in my second swap. I have gotten so many ideas from the site too. I can't wait to meet Cheryl who is stopping by on Saturday! I am also enjoying my Big Picture Scrapbooking online class with May. </span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">Now, back to our weekend. Did I say I am excited?? Well, I am. There are ladies coming from all over and I am so excited to meet them all. My mom is bringing dinner by on Friday night. She is excited too. I will have Tom bring the kids by one day so the kids can actually get an idea for what I do when I am away at a scrap weekend. I am glad it is close by so I will still be able to get to Greg's baseball game Saturday night.</span><br /><span style="color:#660000;">Well, I am calling it a night. I am tired. </span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-28452636681055679282007-04-07T21:11:00.001-07:002007-04-07T21:16:37.589-07:00Happy Easter!<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">I want to wish you and your families all a Happy Easter. :) May you all enjoy your day with your families and friends. The kids don't like to dye eggs anymore, boring, so they say. But we did fill plastic eggs for the egg hunt tomorrow. Now that is more fun. Here are our pretty eggs.</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigsRKYEs5lxJubOV6njPNqPGv026a-jURKiFB5Ceg7sTvX-vo65wiSvxiX4uiCT1I1Tf0pXnVDQjgrquEf0eFdPsS1mE2wVKm5jfNpdRxoooDx5QUeFv5inYIjMpCde5HBu1B_IRLqwD0/s1600-h/100_6042.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050905435643517570" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigsRKYEs5lxJubOV6njPNqPGv026a-jURKiFB5Ceg7sTvX-vo65wiSvxiX4uiCT1I1Tf0pXnVDQjgrquEf0eFdPsS1mE2wVKm5jfNpdRxoooDx5QUeFv5inYIjMpCde5HBu1B_IRLqwD0/s320/100_6042.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">But I also thought I would try some eggs like Julie, oops, Martha did. Well, mine didn't turn out like Julie's (thankfully!) or Martha's (figures). Here they are, but I wouldn't eat them! The brownish ones were boiled in coffee and then I let them sit for awhile to get darker. The kinda reddish ones, with the flakes on them, were boiled in chili flakes. I am not the cook like Julie and Martha, so tried the next best thing I had, chili flakes rather than chili powder. Didn't work very well. Lastly, the pink ones were boiled in water mixed with a powdered energy drink. Thought it might turn out pink since that is the color when mixed with water. Nope. But I put in some red food coloring and let the eggs soak.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCTZu8FNUujRDHgt4ImL3MlxUAFmHBRwQ2OdmmulcEFp7R9sWzvjQLulMkdJmwO8X2JjZKTyA7JGjdfrK565kqvAxNB0zaYrr14Jp3IHJ-K7JrBW1P7tel8VbnWIkh7nu32yKiUbsuPPM/s1600-h/100_6023.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050905727701293730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCTZu8FNUujRDHgt4ImL3MlxUAFmHBRwQ2OdmmulcEFp7R9sWzvjQLulMkdJmwO8X2JjZKTyA7JGjdfrK565kqvAxNB0zaYrr14Jp3IHJ-K7JrBW1P7tel8VbnWIkh7nu32yKiUbsuPPM/s320/100_6023.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIpiuh9CWB4jlTgLfPsw0VeKEeiRuLqeoDWwjqGHvm7C9Kd4rhpEVxnMQU0G8CBpF4AEtEuY07wvV2FPZfdNh-Vbyf0e4yflZKXiXeMzvPkmsMzmVnceADYXT1KHGQ1pEbiNVozKzkBOg/s1600-h/100_6024.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5050905731996261042" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIpiuh9CWB4jlTgLfPsw0VeKEeiRuLqeoDWwjqGHvm7C9Kd4rhpEVxnMQU0G8CBpF4AEtEuY07wvV2FPZfdNh-Vbyf0e4yflZKXiXeMzvPkmsMzmVnceADYXT1KHGQ1pEbiNVozKzkBOg/s320/100_6024.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">So, my take on all this, by the Paas egg coloring kit, or better yet, the colored eggs from the store, or even better, fill the brightly colored plastic eggs with jelly beans and other yummy candy.</span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#663366;"></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">Once again ~ Wishing you a wonderful Easter from the Murphy's.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#663366;"></span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1038409035441851549.post-8647150684877544352007-04-05T10:22:00.000-07:002007-04-05T10:32:43.751-07:00Big Picture Scrapbooking, class starts today<span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">Today is the day! The first day of May's online class at Big Picture Scrapbooking. As soon as the kids and Tom were out the door, I got on my email and found an email from May. :) Follow the link to open the class room door for the first session of Everyday Treasures. Oh fun.......I'm excited. I need to get some scrapping done. What neat layouts she has done. And the things she uses. I won't give away any secrets until the very end. You may still be able to sign up for the class. The links to the site and the class are in the posts before this one. </span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">So, my treasure hunt begins. Ayy mateys! The possibilities are endless.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">I am going to a crop at Angels on Friday, April 13 and hope to have a good stash of stuff to use then. Maybe for Easter pictures.....hmmmmm could work, creative juices are flowing, well, a little bit (I am tired today and having a hard time thinking)</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">I also have a super idea for the Angels Bind it All contest. Check out <a href="http://www.angelsscrapbookgarden.com/">http://www.angelsscrapbookgarden.com/</a>. But I'm not giving away my idea until it is done!!</span><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#663366;">Happy Easter everyone. May we all remember the real meaning of Easter! </span>Naomi Murphyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11587585438990279513noreply@blogger.com0
