~The blackboard tags ~

As a crafter ... I had this idea I thought it would be so cool for use in a scrapbook school theme.  What I came up with, was a tag that would be light weight, thin and actually worked like a blackboard, it's a shipping tag blackboard.

So doing a school theme page this coming year??? They come in 3 sizes, blank on the backside for glue...

You know where to find me :)

Color Chart

My New Find

While driving up the coast visiting the antique shops we found this wonderful find in Coos Bay ... I couldn't believe it!  It's mine, I snapped it right up .... YAY!  Talk about being excited...I've been re-arranging my craft room  for my new library card file holder.  It stands about 5ft tall and is about 4 ft wide, there are 54 drawers to it and it comes on wheels, I figured I'd never see another one of these babies!!!
I'm lovin it,  I'm still trying to figure out where I'm putting everything and I still need to label all the drawers.  But WOW!  I'm a happy camper :) Very cool!  Here's some pics...

My Name Steven Seagal

While in Bandon, OR.  We noticed right after we got to our hotel room that we had a pet ...  we would see  our new pet "Steven Seagal" (our new pets name)  hanging around the deck waiting for us to come out and visit him...too cute, he was always out there, just waiting...rain or shine
