Purging the Stash - Embellishments, Albums & Everything Else

I have spent the better part of a week purging my craft room.  I am not done, but things are beginning to be manageable (I can see the floor...lol!)  Items will most likely be added to this list but I will use this page to list the embellishments, albums and everything else that isn't a stamp. 

If you are interested in stamps:
 CTMH Stamps can be found here & Studio Calico Stamps can be found here.

The details - All prices include shipping to continental US.  I will ship internationally for an additional charge.  I will combine shipping if purchasing multiple items.  All items come from a smoke free/ 1 dog home.  Items are posted on mulitiple sites.  I will update this post as items are added/sold.  If you are interested in anything, please leave a comment below.  (Comments are sent to my email so I will respond to your email).

Menu Plan Monday

Hello,

Thought I would jump on board this week for Menu Plan Monday over at orgjunkie.  I have been meal planning for quite some time now as it takes the guess out of whats for dinner and with a hectic life and picky eaters it is a blessing.  I must confess though...it can take me quite some time as I have way too many recipes and always want to try something new...some weeks, I would just like to serve cereal for dinner every night (is that a bad thing?)

So here it goes...we are trying out some new pinterest recipes this week:

Family Dinners

Sunday:  Chicken Bruschetta Paninis with waffle fries / bruschetta salad (this is a regular on our menu...yummy!)

Monday:  Burgers & Chips / carrot sticks

Tuesday:  Grilled Chicken with lemon, capers & oregano with baked potatoes / cucumber and olive salad (new to us)

Wednesday:  Homemade pizza / stuffed portabellas

Thursday:  Bacon Wrapped Smoke Gouda Stuffed Chicken with rice pilaf and Smoky Haricot Verts (green beans) and mushrooms (the chicken is new to us...the green beans are delicious)

Friday:  Free for all / leftovers....mom's night off

Saturday:  Fireworks picnic at the lake...not too sure what I am bringing yet.

Side Note:  For the most part, my family (with the exception of my daughter) claims they are allergic to vegetables, and I don't eat carbs or sugar...just meat and veggies, so I get a bit creative with dinners sometimes.  I won't cook 2 meals at dinner EVER...I cook it, you eat it...but I do tend to cook meals that everyone will/can eat (they are getting better about a little bit of veggies) and I just make a veggie for myself (and little tweaks like leaving out sugar and flour).  If you see anything with bread, I tweak the recipe for me.  On Pizza night, I either make mine on a chicken crust or usually stuff a portabella with my toppings.  I also plan my breakfasts and lunches which makes it easier for me to eat right and frankly remember to eat at all sometimes.  I like to mix up my food so I plan 3 lunches and 3 breakfasts and just repeat on or two that week.  My husband takes a lunch to work (sandwich or leftovers) and the kids are old enough to make their own breakfast/lunch during the summer.

Breakfast:

Baked Tomato & Egg with bacon
Paleo Breakfast Burrito
Breakfast Salad (with Spinach)

Lunch:

Egg Salad with green olives, onions & dijon (no pita) with ham rolls
Lettuce Wraps and carrot sticks
Chopped Chicken Salad

I am working on a post about my weight loss / getting healthy journey if you are interested in learning more about how and why I eat the way I do.

Enjoy - Tracy

Project Life Tuesday

Hello -

I'm back again with another installment of Project Life Tuesday.  This past weekend was cold and rainy (45 deg on Saturday and we are looking at 90 deg by Thursday....yikes!)  I had hoped to spend Saturday & Sunday holed up in my craft room catching up on Project Life & the past 3 episodes of Secret Life of the American Teenagers (such a bad show but I can't stop watching it) and a few good movies, but my plans were foiled (although I did have a good weekend anyway!)  So instead of sharing my next installment of 2013 PL I am sharing weeks 18 & 19 of 2012.  Still doing fine with the fact that I am behind a few weeks months in 2013 but I do hope to share some 2013 with you next week.

2012 Weeks 18 & 19 (April 28 - May 11)

Right Closeup

This was a very busy 2 weeks with lots of activities and fun stuff.  We had a:

• birthday celebration
• a good look at Bob's "freedom 'stache"
• camping with the Boy Scouts (which re-affirmed the fact that I don't like to camp)
• my sorority's 50th anniversary and time spent with long lost friends & sisters

Thanks for stopping by!  Are you behind?  All caught up?  I would love to hear what you are working on...

Tracy

BTW...did you see my new For Sale tab up above (underneath my picture)?  I am cleaning out my stash (making room for more ?) and have alot of items up for sale.  I would love if you took a peek...new items will be added every week. 

Linking up again this week with the Mom Creative...check it out for some great PL inspiration every Tuesday!

Purging the Stash - Sale!

Update 7/20 - All items are Sold!  Thank you!


I am currently in the process of cleaning off my desk and clearing out my supplies so that I can actually create in my space.  I must confess...I have too much stuff!  I love my supplies but I don't use half of what I have and I want my poor neglected supplies to go to a home where they will be loved.  Most of my items for sale will be stamp sets but I will be adding things here and there. I will post all For Sale items under the For Sale page (see link up top)

To start I have 6 Small Flat Rate boxes filled with assorted Unity Stamps.  These are all unmounted red rubber.  Most of them are new/never been used.  Some have been used once or twice.  Most have the original paper backing on them, however, some are missing that as I removed them from their carrier sheets and stuck them in a binder.  There are more than 30 stamps in each box.  Most of the stamps are images, there are a few sentiments in each box. 

Prices include shipping.  Paypal only.  You cannot choose which stamps you inlcude in the box (they are already packaged) what you get is what you get, no refunds or exchanges...sorry.  I did my best to mix the stamps up to ensure you get a good variety, although I did keep pieces of sets together.

If you are interested, please send me an email at Oleksak5 (at) comcast (dot) net and I will send you a paypal invoice.  I will ship the day after payment clears. All sales are final.

Have a great one -   Tracy
