I'm Distressed ;)

Look What I Picked Up Today :)

Yup the new Tim Holtz seasonal series distress inks!!!!
I had to drive 45 minutes to the border to pick them up, but it was so worth it.
OK, OK, I also ordered the other colours I didn't have ;)

Oops forgot to put in the photo, I also bought the distress crackle paint in Walnut stain.
I then found out there is a clear version of this. I will have to get it on my next on-line order ;)
I wish I would have known earlier to order the Tim Holtz fall seasonal distress inks. But I found out about them way too late.
I did go to order the Fall ones on a different site but I they wouldn't fill my order because of where I lived :(

 I finally added the hot water to the Lindy's that Claudia and Theresa sent me :)
I don't know why I was so intimidated to add the water.
When I unscrewed the bottle on the right I thought that the straw thing was missing. Then I took the cap off and realized this one has a felt applicator. Sooo cool.

 Today I received some Happy Mail :)
Tina from Homemade Memories sent me some goodies and a beautiful card. These will go perfect with my travel journal :)
Sadly my photo doesn't do this card justice, it is stunning. I love that beautiful butterfly on the front, and the colours are so feminine.
Thank you so much Tina, you are a sweet heart :)


Onto My Day:

Heather and I made a run to the border, no not for taco bell, teehee.
It all started with Ashley ordering shoes with a gift card. So I figured if I am heading that way, I might as well order myself a little something ;)
Then we went for lunch.
When I got home I worked on my cover for my newest project.
I remembered why I haven't painted for a while, I am inpatient when I have to let the paint dry. The second reason, washing out my brushes.

I had to go to Black's to get some photos printed. This is the first time I am making a book to fit my photos.
For some reason the machine at Black's didn't want to read all of my photos on my jump drive (I think that is what it is called). But I did get most of them done.
Ran to Michael's. Pretty bad when (yet again) I walk out there with nothing :(     
I was hoping that they would have had some of the new $1.50 Christmas stamps, but Nope.

Watched Bones. Now going to check out some blogs.

  1. YAY you finally put water in those babies! If you want some shimmer, Lindy's is awesome. I just bought the big vat of the Rock Candy crackle paint. I wanted to see how it worked. Normally I use regular crackle medium even though it's a ton more work but I like how it comes out. I passed on the seasonal TH inks so far. I'll wait to see what his spring and summer.

  3. Beautiful new stamp pads my dear. And congrats for taking the plunge with the Lindy's. I have one set with the applicators and one set with the spray top. Didn't realize the bottle they sent me, that I sent to you, was the dabber or dauber or however you spell it. My point (I really do have one) is I don't like the dabber or dauber top at all. Either too much comes out, or not enough comes out. But...if you use your paint brush to apply it, you will be a happy camper. It's good stuff :).

  9. I love those inks! I asked for tons of them for Christmas, but no one in my family scrapbooks, so they are all a little intimidated to buy me scrapbook stuff. I'm hoping I get them!

    I hate when I go to Michaels and find nothing. But that happy mail is fabulous!
