UIU week 7
Hiya everyone!!
Sorry this is a bit late but Sunday was crazy and today I was lucky enough to hang out with some awesome online friend in real life!!!! We meet up in Makefield NJ then headed to New York! I had a bast with them. We went to some amazing craft stores! OHHHHHHH MANNNNNNNN !!!! the will power I had to have!!!! I wanted it ALL!! They had things I never saw in my life! BUT I was really good.
The 1st place we went to I FINALLY found fabric that I have been looking forever for!! It was a wood grain print. It was $20 (ouch ) but I had to get it to finish a quilt top I have been working on this past year. I did write it down on my uiu clipboard but under my basic list due to I have been looking for a long time for it.
I also found a book from district market that was really cool. I will not be putting the book on my uiu clipboard because I will not be using it as "crafts" even if it was found ing the craft store. Its going to be my purse note book. I keep getting note books for me but they keep "growing legs" ** eyes up family** and NO one knows were they are. Well with this one I KNOW its mine!!!
The 2nd place we went to I go a few gift for some other friends and I had a coupon for free 12x12 papers if you spent 30 well the gifts were a bit under so I treated myslef to a $6 stencil.
So a day that was filled with shoping I did great just walking out with 2 things!! (but man I still wanted it all!!) I did some awsome gifts and art friend the meet up with friends and I really think they like the things I made them. If you ever get the chance to meet some of your online craft buddies DO IT!!!
till next week

Mitzi's Pizza box challenge
This was my entry for Mitzi's pizza box challenge.
The point of this challenge was to use a pizza box and make something out of it. She said to " think outside of the box" but I just thought of a different box. LOL
What I have made is a Mail center. The top has a drawer for pens and stamps the middle will house envelopes and cards and the bottom is an address book. There is a blank black space in the front and that is for my sticky notes that i have ALLLLLLLLLL over the place. I am really happy with this challenge and I really needed it too. I have a really small space and this will hopefully help keep me organized with my mail and things that have to go out. Now only if this thing can take things to the post office for me that would ROCK!
Thanks for looking.

Leftover pizza boxes ( I use 3 of them to make this)
