3 weeks left...

...and I'm done with this semester! I cannot wait, its been a semester from down under, and I'm so ready for it to be done and summer to be here for some "R 'n R". I had a great Easter weekend though, I went to Thermopolis, WY, home of the worlds largest mineral hot springs, to see my family and spend Easter with them. It was a great time. I have 4 cousins, 2 of which are 5 and under, and its so precious seeing them find the eggs and being excited to see what the Easter Bunny brought them. Its so sweet, and makes you grateful for young innocence.
The major bummer of the weekend was that I went down there with a dead battery in the camera! Ooops! I thought before I left that I should grab the charger, then talked myself out of it for whatever reason! Teach me! But I got a couple pics on my cell phone, which will work, just not as many as I wanted!
Anyway...Now its back to the grind, for 3 more weeks and then all I need to worry about is my website and work. It sounds so nice! I suppose I need to run to the craft store before class!

Learned a new technique that really rocks!

Hello all!

So as you all know I'm a crafter! Love them, and learning new things! I learned a new tecnique the other day. Its called resist stamping you can see the video I seen here. Its really cool, I tried it today and used the clear embossing powder because i couldn't find the Perfect Medium at the local craft store. And it worked just as well. I will show you mine.

To the left is the one I did, in literally like 2 minutes! It's so quick and so easy! Not to mention it looks AWESOME!

To complete this project you need:

Rubber stamps (I used clear)

Ink pad

Brayer

Paper

Clear Embossing Powder

Clear Stamp pad

Embossing Heat gun

Paper towel

1. Stamp images on you piece of paper in any pattern you would like.

2. Sprinkle with embossing powder, and remove excess.

3. Use your heat gun to set the powder

4. Roll your brayer in the ink pad

5. Roll the brayer across your paper with the stamped images

6. Cover the entire paper with ink

7. Wipe with a paper towel to remove the excess ink.

8. ENJOY!!!!

Like I said this is super easy to do! I hope you all enjoy this!

I'm Sitting in the Library...

because I need to be studying for a test that I have at 2:30 this afternoon. I've been studying my brains out it seems for this class and hopefully it will pay off on this exam. I really need it to. Other than that I'm not up to too much today, I have a meeting for work tonight so that means from when I'm done with my test to 6 I need to find something to do. I brought my laptop in with me today and hopefully I can work on Etsy (www.skylerae.etsy.com) some more, but we will see. I really need to get better about making and getting stuff posted on there, its the only way I'm going to sell anything! School is keeping me uber busy so thats taking a toll on how much I can do for it also. So hopefully tonight and Friday for sure I can work on it.
Another thing is I've been trying to get my mom into scrapbooking and crafts, and she says she wants to do more of them but I need to get her motivated to actually do them! Any ideas?
Well I suppose, I had better make sure I know my stuff for this test!

Waiting...

I'm sitting at the school right now waiting to go to work for the night. I only work like a block and a half from the school, and I get out of class at 4, and work at 5. Not worth driving home to turn around and drive back, so here I sit. Bored...I could study but it doesn't seem to work when I have to constantly watch the time. So I waste time on MySpace, Facebook and here, but it helps to make the time go by faster. I spent most of my morning working on stuff for Etsy, not to post but to keep up with the cost and such. Not as much fun as it sounds, but I've got plenty of Etsy time in the next week or two, so I can get more things listed! (I really need to get better about that, they say you should post 1 thing per day!)
The snow is melting away and the interstate is dry. So thats good, gotta love spring in Montana, don't like the weather right now, just wait 5 minutes!
Well, I suppose, I will puruse Etsy and myspace some more!

Until next time!
