It seems that most people I know have never seen the Steve Martin movie Mixed Nuts.  But it has one of the most random quotes that I use because I think the scene is just hilarious.  And driving down the road today, I couldn’t help but think of it!  Each time my car banged into a
pothole, causing it to rattle in pain for the next mile or so, I just thought of Steve Martin saying this:
"Just remember that in every pothole there is hope. Well, you see, pothole is spelled P-O-T-H-O-L-E. So if you take the P, and add it to the
H, the O, and the E, and rearrange the letters… or contrariwise, you remove the O, T, and the L, you get "hope". So, just remember, in every pothole there is hope!"

I took some pictures of my project the night…
err, early morning, before I turned it in, but as I loaded them onto the computer today I noticed that they were rather crappy.  But I posted them anyway.

Winter storms really aren’t that bad because….
1. No school
2. Excuses to be lazy and surf the web
3. Chance to scrap
4. It’s just so beautiful!
But blizzards bite because of many reasons too!
1.  Mailman’s don’t close your mailbox, and the snow gets on my MetHome mag. and freezes the cover of it to the mailbox (grrrr)
2. It takes five times as long to get where you need to go
3. In March I am so ready for green grass and tulips.  NOT blizards.
4. Power outages.

Well, I really didn’t mind the excuse to be online and surf the web- but I was su frustrated because SIStv’s site was having MAJOR problems.  So sad.

To close my post today, I would like to share with all of you a site that I have recently discovered and have quickly fallen in love with.  It’s called One Good Bublebee and they sell some really quirky and fun paper goods, art, housewares, and gift items.  Below are a few items that I personally have found to be quite scrumptious!

This lovely lace coaster!

This funky cassette tote bag:
And these practical and super cute key caps:

This week has been a pretty crazy one… and it’s not even over!  To start off the week, I was selected to be a part of the Quirio Kits design team- which I am totally psyched about.  It’s my first design team position, and plus I think I’m going to love working with the kits they offer each month.
I also had a huge school design project to work on this week, and a major ice storm to deal with.  The electricity went out for 24 hours, caused a power surge to wipe out the computer and its hardrive, and today we finally got it up and running again.  I also handed in my project, which was a major relief!  I’m planning on posting pictures of it tomorrow.

Today I got out of my evening class early and decided to head over to Archivers because now that my homework was done I will finally have time for scrapping!  I picked up lots of yummy paper that I plan on using with my ephemera paper pack that I got from Three Potato Four.  So excited about that and about getting my new Quirio Kit!  Here’s the sneak peak:

They go on sale this Sunday!

Well, now I’m off to recover from the week, browse the galleries at SIStv and hopefully I will get started on my mini album!

Well, I am a sucker for vintage, that is for sure.   I just love the charm and beauty… although the fact that I am going to be living with yet ANOTHER man come June means I have to limit my "cute factor" in decorating.  Well, as I was scouring the website for manly vintage items (my brother has commissioned me to search high and low for awesomeness, and fortunately he loves vintage too) I stumbled across this website, Three Potato Four.

Not only do they sell unique vintage finds, amazing old signage, awesome art, and fun housewares… but they offer unique paper goods!  Exactly what I’ve been looking for.

Three Potato Four sells packs of ephemera and each set is unique.  This was a great find.  Now if only I can click the button in the checkout… hmmm…. maybe I should talk to hubby first?
