Are You a Blurfer?

Today I have been feeling kind of blah . . . a little nauseated. Anyway, I have been blurfing (blog surfing for those of you who did not know what that meant) and came across so much fun stuff and some cool sites I decided to share with you. It all started when I googled "Playroom Decor Ideas" and went to this one site, Tip Junkie. I know I will be going back to that one again and again. SO many fun ideas.

That site lead me to this other blog, Jackaroos Boutique with the most beautiful childrens dresses and bibs and burp cloths I have ever seen! I can't wait to find out if I am having a boy or girl now because I totally want to order!!! I love that you can get them personalized too!

Tip Junkie also lead me to this site -- Grosgrain. I absolutely cannot believe it but she is giving away one of these gorgeous outfits she made -- apparently she does it all the time! If you have a little girl in the 2T-4T range -- go check this out Pinata Pinafore GIVEAWAY!!!!!!! . . . I SO need to win one!! I am in love with the dress she made for the ice cream social! So stunningly gorgeous -- scroll down to see that one too, you just can't miss it!!!

Here's another cool site, 30 Handmade Days -- I am SO going to make the crayon roll up packs from Day 1, and some of the hair barrettes and oooh, that felt food on Day 6 rocks. Needless to say, that one has inspired me to play a bit. Do you ever feel like there are so many crafts, so little time?

Oh and here's another site with directions to make I Spy bags, According to Kelly . . . I have been wanting to make these for the kids FOREVER and now I have instructions and I think I am going to do it -- add it to the crafts I plan to finish this summer pile!

Here's a cool site for you scrappers out there -- or if you like to decorate your home with family pictures - Scrapbook Pictures - at this site you can print unique sizes of your pictures for a fairly inexpensive cost -- check it out!!!

And lest you all think I am slacking off -- I found this blog post 31 Days To Clean, which I totally plan on implementing so I can have a super clean house! I find that often I have a clean upstairs, OR a clean downstairs, rarely both, so I am excited to get busy and have a clean house in only a months time!

And once I do . . . I can use this site, Tastefully Entertaining, to provide inspiration for having guests over to celebrate in my new clean house! Seriously love all the colors on this site, I know it will come in handy for ideas while stamping too!!!

Well I hope you enjoyed a little time wasting and blurfing with me. I am excited to get busy on some project ideas I saw . . . check back again soon . . . oh and if you were wondering if I found any playroom ideas . . . I saw some, but I will for sure have to go back to that another day. Ooops!

I am a blurfer sometimes - when I can find the time! I blurfed on over here and found you! Thanks for the shout-out by the way! You probably already know this, and that's why you blogged about my site, but I'm giving away a FREE vacuum cleaner. I know, you already know, but I have so many commenters now I'm just trying to keep track! But don't worry, if you entered the contest, I will know!

I am definitely a blurfer. I love Tip Junkie and I just recently found 30 Handmade Days.

Those I Spy bags look great, but I might have to cheat a little and buy one on Etsy. I'm keeping that in mind for our next long trip (if the gas prices go down!).

Have you ordered anything from scrapbookpictures.com yet? It looks pretty cool, and I like all of the size, border, and finish choices.

Great sites! Thanks for sharing all of your new finds. I am a blurfer when I have time! Which isn't very often, but it is fun, there are so many things out there. You just never know what you will find.
Oh, I'm a blurfer alrighty. My husband is beginning to wonder if I need to be medicated for OCBD. Obesseive Compulsive Blurfing Disorder. ;)

Amanda~I just wanted to let you know that I linked you on my site and was talking about the Jackaroos Boutique site. They have some fabulously cute baby items.
I hope that you don't mind, but I just wanted to let you know that I did it. Thanks!

I just adore your Riley cards! Especially the preggers one. My baby sis is very newly pregnant and I call her moose! I have to get that one for sure!

My Decade Later Comeback and Playing Catch Up

Hello friends, It's been awhile and I kind of dropped off the face of the planet since moving to Oregon. I got busy with growing four babies into teens, and attempting to hold together a marriage with a partner who was working out of town for the most part. It was a lot! Truth be told, I have been spending most of my time over on Instagram which allows for more quick picture and caption posts (@the.amanda.sewell), but I really, genuinely miss having a journal of our adventures, so I'm back.  Some changes, my ex-partner moved out in October of 2023 (after 23 years of marriage, who would have thought?) and I am on a new, single mom adventure with the fabulous four. Luckily, they are adjusting to the changes well as we navigate this challenging time as a family team. Things are still in flux and hopefully at the end of all of this, the dust will settle and we will end up landing on our feet. Because of this change, I needed to go back to work and after not working for the past lo...

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

A good mail day

Yesterday was an awesome mail day! I got my swaps from Jody (texasjodylynn). Let me explain, each month, Jody and I swap three things -- cards, 3D objects (usually), and sometimes goodies we find that we think the other person might like. We have done this for about 6 months I think. Well yesterday I got the most amazing Jody package. Here are a few pictures of the stuff inside. The chocolate box was made with designer paper and said "You make life sweet" on top and inside there were some yummy dove chocolates. Seriously, dark chocolate is the BEST! Next I found this most gorgeous purse with some treasures inside it. Some gems and some princess brads, and a harry potter bookmark. The purse itself is amazing. I asked Jody how she did it and she said with chalk and craft inks and lots of embossing powder. It just shines. It is just so amazing. She put in so many brads and she said she even had to use a drill on it. Amazing! I avoid scary tools like drills wher...
