Shalini's Sewing Space

Reached home safely The roads were starting to get slippery. We got out in time! As far as tomorrow, they'll put an alert out if they're closed. My office will also put out an alert. We're getting pounded by snow and freezing rain. It's so cold rightnow. The Federal offices were shut down this afternoon! I got my purse today! And along with that I got a hand signed card by Michelle Coleman!! OMG I was so psyched! More about the card than about the purse, which is very nice! She had scrapped the card (ofcourse! Is there any other way?) The card is *so* pretty. DH says she didn't scrap it, it was pre-bought. Ha! He thinks this because it's printed on a differnt type of paper (cardstock?) I get my LOs printed on matte photo paper so that's what he's used to seeing. I've been bad about exercise this week. After my run on saturday, my legs started aching and it was so bad that night. Happened again sunday night even though I didn't run or even walk. D...

Snow Day was here.. And it's almost over :( I took the day off today because of the snow last night. It was drivable but I just wanted it ;) If I had my work laptop with me, I'd have worked from home but I didn't. I downloaded a bunch of quick pages from ScrapArtist. The fun with QPs is that they're QUICK! Here are a bunch that'll adorn my purse soon :) ajaabney's iscraptoo's MMacLean's need2create's Julie's Credits to each one are in ScrapArtist Gallery

Bounce Bounce! My work finished sooner than I had expected. I was able to get back to the snapshot I took yesterday afternoon, and then re-did the rest of the work. It's done. Wasn't too bad, actually. Worst part was the waiting for disk check to come back. It took 3 hours! But the BIG NEWS!! I had participated in a quick page making contest at ScrapArtist. I received this email from Michelle Coleman yesterday. I am one of the 4 lucky winners to receive the purse!!! Plus a free kit from the shop. Woohoooo! This is the first time I've won anything in a contest. I don't participate much (I think I've done one before) And my page will be available for download (among the 20 total winners) Princess Purse Quick Page . I think there were about 80 entries. I am going to download some of the other pages and make a few more for my purse. This is fun! Here is what I had submitted - This is what the purse looks like - Awesome!
