Scrappy Saturday

Scrappy Saturday 

YES! Scrappy Saturday is back after a 3 week hiatus!  Things have just been so crazy this past month it took my a while to get around to renewing my inlinkz account.  But I am excited to have it back on and can't wait to see all the awesomeness you all have in store!  Our house was just listed on the market and we had our first showing today, we will see how it all goes but that has been keeping me busy...normally I like MAKING messes with my kids, having fun and doing projects and now I'm constantly cleaning and avoiding messes...ANYWAYS...

I also have an announcement to make.  August 19 I will be one of the co-hosts of the One Day Once a Month Thee Networking Blog Hop hosted by Kelly at Live Laugh Rowe

Mark Your Calendars and grab the button for your side bar as a little reminder if you like! :)  The more the merrier!

Scrappy Saturday and Tyrone Wells

Scrappy Saturday

Hey Hey!!! Happy Saturday!  Thanks for coming by and being part of the party!  And before getting down to business, I'm still super happy from thursday night when I got to see Tyrone Wells in concert.  He is such an awesome artist, with really great music that is positive, upbeat and just all around good listening! Great songwriting, singing, and playing! I heard him for the first time probably close to 6 years ago when on my way to Art History class at WSU and I heard some music coming from the CUB (cafeteria) and slipped in real quick to see what it was.  He happened to be singing one of my favorite songs by LIVE "Lightning Crashes" (yes while my friends were listening to MMMbop by Hansen I listened to Lightening Crashes by LIVE, Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins and Zombie by Cranberries on repeat...oh 7th grade...a good year) anyways, Tyrone was just amazing...so I was inspired to skip class and listen to the rest of his set.  He's come a long way since then, but still not nearly as well known as he should be!  SO, if you like finding new good music, and you haven't listened to him yet, check him out! Or just head over to Pandora and create a Tyrone Wells station :)

 Tyrone Wells was nice enough to chat and take pictures!

He is currently touring with Joe Brooks who was also really talented with a great voice

Scrappy Saturday Linky

Weekend Linkup

Happy Scrappy Saturday everyone!  I can't wait to see what you have in store for this week's linky!  This week I have been missing Dallas as I remember this being the time of year flowers start popping up...Here we keep going back and forth to piles of snow that all melt completely, seeming like winter is finished only to get more.  At least it's still sunny here for the most part....After living in Seattle area and getting used to weeks of grey I feel in LOVE with the sun when we moved to Dallas and I don't think I can go without it very long after getting used to always having it.  ANYWAYS...enough rambling...here are some of the fun projects from last week

LOVE this ruffle skirt made from a T-shirt by Artsy Fartsy Mama

Check out this cute Gift Wrap job done by Meeha Meeha using an old pencil box, craft paper and I love the puffy yarn clouds, rain and tiny umbrellas!

Scrappy Saturdays

Weekend Linkup

Happy Saturday everyone and sorry for the delay in getting this up!  I try to have it start at midnight Friday night but my big 'lil bro is in town visiting and so I've been pretty preoccupied hanging out with him and showing him around and it's been fun.  My 4.5 year old was trying to get him to come watch Tangled with her and he was on Facebook writing a message to a cute girl and she was like "What is uncle Joey doing on the computer!" quite imatiently and I said "He's writing a message to a girl...(then teased) he doesn't have a girlfriend right now so he's trying to get one" and Jordan looks at me with one of those are you kidding me looks and says "Yes he DOES have a girlfriend!" and I said "Who?" and she puts her hand on her chest, leans her head forward at me quite obviously and in a "DUH!" type of response says "ME!!!!"  then she jumped up from the couch and went to the computer and kept repeating "Uncle Joey I'm your girlfriend right?" until he responded "yep" lol.

ANYWAYS, back to the link up, here are some of the highlights from last week,,,ya'll amaze me!

Scrappy Saturdays #8

Scrappy Saturdays Week 8

or should I say crappy Saturday because I blew it!!!

Hey you guys!  yeah....HEY YOU GUUUYYYS!  um, don't know why I was thinking about the Goonies, but anyways, sorry to anyone who came to link up earlier today and wasn't able to...I know. so annoying when Link Parties don't show up when they are supposed to! I had such a busy, tiring week I may have lost my mind a few times...like last night I was cleaning up after dinner and my husband asked why I threw all the good untouched chicken off my daughter's plate down the drain rather than put it in the fridge....um...as I was telling him "I didn't even think about it..."  I realized I was spraying water all over the countertop instead of in the sink where I was supposed to be spraying dishes....um....yeah.  that kind of gives you an idea of how my brain functioning has been this week.  So I spaced on the blog this weekend...oops! 

ONTO THE FEATURES! YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! And Inspire me so much each week with all your creativity and great ideas and I love seeing how everyone's projects turn out!

Love these Henna Design Paper Lanterns by Creative Mind

What beautiful freehand artwork!

I immediately fell in love with these Fabric Bookmarks!  These are so adorable, would make great gifts and I think anyone with a little bit of sewing scraps would be able to make quite a few of these babies!!!  Check out the tutorial at Quiver Full of Blessings.  I love the rolled rosettes on them.

Now this is one of the most original projects I've seen, using old magazines to make a magazine bowl! WOW to Saved by Love Creations, thanks for sharing, can't wait to see that video tutorial!

I can't go on without featuring one of the great seasonal projects linked up! I love these mummy vases! I want to make some for my mantle!  Looks like a quick and easy project....right up my alley!!!  Check them out at Freaking Craft.

I Love this patchwork pillow as a way to use up scraps of fabric! Check out the tutorial from vixenMade.
