Chaos Rules Again

My planet was very clean, organized and peaceful when I was away for a month.  Now that I'm back, it's a total mess.... again!  I haven't put away my craft buys from the Philippines and Japan.  Despite that, I still went on and made a traditional and a hybrid layout, which made my craft desk all the more chaotic.  Can I help it if I wasn't able to create anything for a month?  It is really hard to resist.  However during the process of making those layouts, I got frustrated because I forgot where I put a certain tool and a particular embellishment.  I was so mad because I know I have them, but I just don't know where they are.  Grrrrr.

Yesterday, I received two goodies in the mail.  Two very beautiful double page layouts from my SCS sisters Valerie from Las Vegas and Sasha from Canada.  I'm expecting more goodies sometime soon because I went online shopping at Joann.com for my new OTT Lamp and some Oval Nestabilities dies by Spellbinders. 

 I have been reading about how stampers and card makers love the Nestabilities, and I have seen the gorgeous cards they have created.  I have been browsing online where I can get them the cheapest, and I'm so glad Joann.com finally carries them, way lot cheaper than a lot of scrapbook online stores ($18.74).  What I also like about Nestabilities is the fact that I can use them with my Big Shot.  I'm really excited to play with these!

Also, if you guys love those Cuttlebug embossing folders, they are coming out with new designs.  Again, I couldn't resist pre-ordering one of them.  See, I'm being a good girl because I'm getting only one!  And then, I had to buy the Swiss Dots, too.  Which means, I actually bought two.  Hee hee!  You can see the latest releases by clicking here.  I don't know, but I'm really into those embossing folders right now.   It doesn't matter what brand, because my Big Shot takes them all.  The thing is, I have been hoarding (again!) and I haven't really started creating with them. 

(Raising my right hand)  I promise to make cards with my embossing folders when my Nestabilities dies arrive in the mail.  Period.

I'm tightly keeping my fingers crossed on two online scrapbooking projects right now.  I'm not allowed to say anything until everything's final.  Please wish me luck on these two ventures :)

Time for me to eat dinner....
