Today, this wonderful, generous, handsome, loving man of mine is turning 43. Yeah, yeah, so he's still younger than me & he reminds me of that fact all the time, lol. But I just remind him that he's got more gray hair than I do & that usually shuts him up ;) Happy Birthday, Babe......love ya!!!
Cindy surprised us with one of her fabulous chocolate cakes for his birthday. She dropped it by this evening & I couldn't wait to cut into it :) YUM!!!
Now, onto the wonderful idea that my dh came up with for my scraproom. He knows that while I loved the idea of my Clip-It-Up, I hated how much space it took up on my desk.....it was just too big & bulky for me. So, he thought why not make a clip-it-up underneath my shelves & that's exactly what he did. He drilled holes into 6 of my shelf brackets & then we purchased a metal rod (the same diameter as the Clip-It-Up circle rods) & ran it through the holes in the brackets. I hope you can get the idea....here's some pictures of the finished product (click on each image to enlarge):
My alphabets.....can you tell I like American Crafts Thickers? :)
Embellishments, etc. Yep, I think I'm going to like this MUCH better!
I finally finished making the 15 memorial mini albums (shown above) that I was asked to make for a school for children that all suffer from life-threatening illnesses. It seems that sadly, they lose a few children each year & they wanted me to make these albums so that when one of them passes away, the teachers will add photos of the child & give the albums to the parents. I was truly honored to do these albums, even with as hard as it was to do them knowing why I was doing them!Today's 2 Peas question was: What are you scrapping plans for the weekend? As much as I would love to try to get some scrapping done this weekend, I think I might just take a break for a few days & finish cleaning up the rest of my room after doing those mini albums & rearranging my clip-it-up. I also might do some scrapbook shopping as it's been a while.
Tonight, we'll be going out to dinner for Jim's birthday to his favorite restaurant, Kalloway's & then maybe go to a movie afterwards.
Have a great weekend :) Benita

The Clip it under the shelves was a fantastic idea!!
Benita, I have come to the realization that coming to your blog is causing me to sin.
I am coveting my neighbors scrap supplies.
I'm quite certain that there has to be SOMETHING in the Bible about coveting anothers scrap room and MASSIVE SUPPY that makes a scrap store envy it.
PLEASE can i come play in your room.
That clip is up was a fabulous idea!!! I love it.
And yes, I'm green with envy, and coveting your stuff..
now, I must go repent.
Thanks!!! lol!! =)
pssst....Hey girlfriend...I need you to email me. :)
and yeah...I can tell you like the American Crafts Thickers! LOL Me Too!
Benita, I totally forgot to tell hubby Happy Birthday!!!! oops!
Benita:
Love the "clip it up" idea under the shelves. I have been wondering what to do with that wasted space, and you - and your hubby - have solved my problem. Do you have any what the actual diameter of the rod is? ANd, did you use one long one and slide it all the way thru the brackets, or did you use individual rods? Thanks much!!
