Something I’ve discovered about my crafty self is that I like randomness in the things I create. So, lately, I’ve been taking my scissors to the paper and letting whatever happens, happens! I’ve found that the products on my desk really inspire me, especially the ones you see in this post. These are a couple of my recent favorites. I used Hambly Screen Prints paper, overlays, and rub ons to make these, plus two bits of vintage ephemera and a little machine stitching.

I know I’ve already expressed how much I was am in love with the January scrapbooking kit (especially the add on!) from JBS Mercantile…. but I’m going to say it again. I’ve made five layouts with this kit, and I know for a fact that there will be more coming (I’ll show you soon)! Jenni is killin’ it these days when she puts together the kits. Sigh.

I made this list during the last week of 2009. And it turns out that I can already cross #6 and #10 off the list! On January 11th, I start my internship as a store planner at Joann Fabric & Crafts’ headquarters in Hudson, Ohio. I’m kinda pumped. And it also turns out Dad still had his old record player. And now it’s mine. Thanks, Dad! At this rate, the list doesn’t stand a chance!
