In My Room

I spent every night this past week and a big part of the weekend cleaning out my craft room. It was an absolute mess! You couldn't even see the carpet. I can't believe how much work it took, but I'm very happy now -- It's completely organized. And I got rid of a ton of things to sell at our yard sale in a few weeks.


I thought there was a reason I had an immediate love of the new Stampin' Up color "Wild Wasabi" -- It's the exact same color as my craft room wall!



I got a chance to make a few cards with my new toys tonight. It was so pleasant to work in my tranquil, organized space!


P.S. I can't fix the spacing on this post. I know it looks horrible, but I've been trying to fix it for 40 minutes, and I can't deal any more.

Take Me Out to the Ballgame!

Steve and I decided to take advantage of the All-Star Game festivities in San Francisco yesterday!

First, we went to the FanFest. There were a lot of fun things to do, but crazy crowds and long lines. We waited an hour to get personalized baseball cards made of ourselves, but it was worth it! They let you pick which team you wanted to be on. Guess which team we picked??



Then we went to the ballpark to watch the "Futures" and "Legends and Celebrities" games. I personally enjoyed the celebrities, which included Mike from "Desperate Housewives," Jimmy Kimmel and Rob Schneider. Also, Steve's BFF Jerry Rice was there ;)

And as long as I'm talking about baseball and cleaning off my camera's memory card, here are a few from last month when the Red Sox were here to play the A's. We had great seats in the second row on the field and were even spotted on TV a few times!

A One-of-a-kind Offer!


Hello! Anybody still out there? If you are, thanks for sticking around while I took a little break. Just had to do a little thinking about what the whole point of this thing was and if I wanted to keep it up. Well, I'm back, and hopefully with a little more focus this time.

As a little "thank you" for hanging in there, I have a very special deal for any Stampin' Up fans who check in here. The new Fall/Winter catalog was just released and my silly UPS guy put my shipment of them in the bushes near my front door -- right before the sprinklers went on! The catalogs got a little bit wet, so I immediately called Stampin' Up to complain and they sent me a whole new box. Meanwhile, the original catalogs dried off and the damage was really minimal -- just some pages with wavy edges.

So, here's the point: UPS's mistake is your gain! I have this box of nearly perfect catalogs that will never see the light of day unless you adopt them into your homes to love and cherish! They retail for $10, but I'm selling them for a flat fee of $5. When you figure in the retail shipping and handling, you're really getting the catalog for LESS THAN FREE! Yes, that's right, it's like I'm PAYING YOU to take them!

Whether you know me or just happened to stumble upon my blog, please e-mail me (ashley@shescrafty.info) if you're interested in a catalog. And spread the word if you have any crafty friends. Seriously, you're doing me a big favor! I can accept payment via cash, check or credit card (through PayPal). I will ship the catalog right to your very own front door and pray that your delivery guy is smarter than mine!

And if you want a perfectly crisp and lovely catalog, I'm selling those too for a flat fee of $10. Since you're nice enough to read my blog, I'll wave the shipping and handling :)

Oh, and I should say that the stuff inside the catalog is pretty awesome. More on that later!
