My absence...a christmas flip book

I am soooooooooooo very sorry for my absence. Life is just busy as it can be. I finally was able to make a chipboard flip book. It took me a few days which is very unusual for me~I am usually faster than that. I am hoping today I will be able to dabble into crafts. I have to do something fun. Yesterday, was 8 hours of non-stop cleaning...then ended it with cleaning out the pool and jumping in. It felt wonderful...I was pretty sore. It is rough getting older. Laughing.... I used lots of scrapbooking elements,embellishments,stamping,buttons,brads and so on.

Cutting the paper and filing is the timely part. I am pretty pleased with the end results.

Trying to get a head start on some christmas gifts. Handmade ones are the best. In my opinion.

I hope everyone has a wonderful week. I am off to have some "play time". I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer so far. I know we have...though the vacation fell through. It is part of life and I am fine with that. Looking for Jansport backpacks for a reasonable price...so if you see them anywhere let me know. I am still couponing but not as big as when I started. I have a pretty good stockpile without over doing it.

Hugs....and a smile. Tammy

Sorry~ I will still be bad about jumping over to your blogs...but I will try to get to them soon.
