A review of sorts and a another tag!

Yo it's Friday!  Anyone else as excited as me about this?  I wanted to share another tag I made with Pink Paislee's Hometown Summer line.  Love, love, love this paper and these punch outs so much!  So fun to work with!


Next up, I wanted to see if you guys had picked up this magazine yet.


There's been some chatter about it over on TWO PEAS.  Some good, some not.  I thought I'd give you my "review" on the mag, for what it's worth.  Ha!  I thought it was expensive, $14.99 is rough.  I found my copy at Hobby Lobby  and used a 40% off coupon, but still, it stung.  Sure didn't keep me from buying it though!  :)  Start to finish it took me almost three hours to look through this thing.  There were very little ads, which I appreciated.  Now I had heard some discussion that some of the rooms had been seen before, but the only two I had seen were Jennifer McGuire's and Jana Eubanks.  Honestly, I didn't mind seeing them again.  Now, I could sit and look at scrapbook/craft rooms all...day...long.  I loved that I could pick the magazine up and hold it right up to my face and stare at it.  I really can't do that with my computer screen.  I DID get several cool ideas and I was totally inspired to run down to my area start looking at how I could change things around.  HERE is a link to my crafty space after my big re-organization back in January.  I think it might be about time for another one!  :)  Wonder if I can talk Mike into believing construction is involved with organization?  Haha!  Let me know if you have any questions about the magazine!

I guess that's about it for today.  We have a busy day tomorrow.  It's the city wide garage sale and we have a few big things we're putting out along with a couple of the neighbors.  That way we can share watch duties.  Then we have TWO birthday parties in the afternoon.  Sunday is looking like a total wash out, so maybe that will be my crafting day!  Do you have big plans this weekend?  Thanks for stopping by today.  I can't tell you how much it makes me smile every time I get a comment.  It truly makes my day! See you soon!

  1. I have a busy weekend myself. I have been looking at that magazine cover since it came out, wondering if I should spend the money on it. When I get another coupon, I think I might. That tag is gorgeous, btw! Thanks for sharing!:-)

  4. Cute tag. I love the bright, fun colors. Good luck with the yard sale! I've been looking for that issue but haven't seen it yet. I love looking at others spaces too - and one day I'll be creating a new space in FL so I need some new ideas! No big plans for the weekend, just some major crafting time. I really need that! :) Happy Friday.
