My favorite things

Live your life and forget your age:)

The above is from a necklace I received this weekend from my very good friend from college.  We had such a blast finally hanging out again since June!  It was a night of obscene cakes(we are talking cakes shaped like boobs) fun conversation, and of course some rock band(of which I could not sing)  She gifted me an empowerment necklace with the quote "Live your life and forget your age"  such an inspiring sentence that we should all live by. 

Well, today I just wanted to share some fun things with you.  Later on I plan on getting back to the paper and creating a thing or two:)  For now lets just look at some lovelies!

Ok, time for lunch:)

Time to use the paper, time to make the layouts!

I was trying to use the Dunkin Donuts reference:)  Time to make the donuts.  Anyway, I have gathered so many paper products its ridiculous.  During the holidays while shopping, I would be like "OH look at that pretty paper, I so should buy it as a gift to myself"  Well this got out of control and before you knew it, I had tons of new things to put away and to finally use.  I cannot see new paper and products just sitting around and gathering dust, so it feels good to break them out and use them. That is their purpose, right?  

     

During the holidays I also picked up a heat gun and a few embossing powders.  I now love embossing, especially on my layouts.  In this layout I used some red glitter embossing powder for the roses that are behind the picture.  I have a thing for layouts that have the image in the middle and all the embellishments pretty much growing out of the image. So pretty.  I love the way this one came out.

I have to say it feels good to get everything out, make something that you feel good about, something you know that is going into someone's album for them to keep for hopefully a long time(everything is acid free:)

More to share next time!!!

Welcome!

So here I am, residing over on Typepad now.  It took me a bit of time to get this up and going, first of all I am so used to Blogger and how easy it was, and second of all this was happening all in the midst of the holidays.  If it was not for my friend Cynthia I would not have figured out a few things on how to make the navigation bar among other things.  This is still a work in progress and will be, probably for the next few weeks. 
After a few years of being Coloredsprinkles, I decided I was ready for a new blogging change.  A few of my favorite things will be just about that, my favorite things. Its Coloredsprinkles with a new name:)
So welcome and be sure to check back in and see what's going on!
