Friday Freebie

Well another week has passed and it's Friday again. It was a pretty busy week here and it's going to be a busy weekend. We have to stain the deck on Saturday. I know that sounds like so much fun. I'm sure most of you are just dying to come over and help. But that's okay, we've got this. ;-) And on Saturday J's parents are stopping by. Busy, busy weekend.

So what have I accomplished this week? Let me think. I finished the beadwork on a custom order. I've been working on a secret project that I hope to finish soon. I've been a busy little bee in the lab. I finished my photo composition class, reviewed my exposure class, and finished my black and white photography class. And I've been working on my photography. I can take all the classes I want, I'll never get any better if I don't go out and practice. I've started adding things to my Zazzle store, so go check it out. I've also thought about putting stuff up on CafePress. If anyone has any experience with CafePress, I'd love to hear from you.

But enough about that, let's get to today's freebie.

This is such a neat freebie.  This pack contains 54 page elements.
 
Don't have My Memories software, don't worry about it.  You can use my promo code, STMMMS11215, to get $10 off the My Memories Software and then an additional $10 off any purchase in the store. That's a pretty cool deal. The My Memories folks have some really great scrapbooking things. And even if you don't scrapbook, the software and extras are really awesome. I don't scrapbook, but I love the software to make interesting blog post pictures. I even used it to make some labels for my homemade granola bars, so J wouldn't have to guess flavors anymore. Just use STMMMS11215 to get the discounts.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend and stay creative.

Weekend Wrap Up

Why hello Monday. I guess this means it's time for me to start my week. Blah. Well, not really. I really do enjoy Monday's. I know it's weird, but I enjoy getting back to a normal routine and getting things done. Not that I didn't get things done over the weekend, I was a hard working girl this past weekend.

I've made pretty good progress in the studio. I am so close to having the new studio finished and ready to go. I got my small storage containers up, now they just need to be alphabetized. I got shelves up in the closet and things put away. Now I just need to build my bead storage, find a counter top for my torch area, and put up a shelf or two. And I'll be all set. Super creativeness can once again happen. :-)

I also got a little bit of work done on my beaded tin. The sides of the tin are now painted a nice glass black. The only thing left to do is decide what I want to do with the inside of the tin. I might add some leather or I might just paint it. I'm not sure. But I am pretty happy with it so far. I'm hoping to get some better photos of it soon. Photos that really show off it's beauty.

I also got a little bit of work done on a custom order. This is the beginning of a bead and stud leather gauntlet. I'm really excited to see this one finished, but it's a lot of beadwork. So I'll just keep working at it and I hope to reach my deadline of the end of May. I really hope I can accomplish that.

And finally we did get to have a little bit of fun. It was a good friends birthday, so we went out for dinner and drinks and a show. Here they are with the musician while J tries to take a photo. It was a lot of fun and a nice break from all the work.

So that was the weekend here at Casa de Three Fates. What did everyone else do? Did you do something craft/artsy or did you enjoy the nice weather outside?
