bad news equals big spending

recently I was watching a MACM video and heard kristina warner say that provo craft is discontinuing the coluzzle. shock. outrage. disbelief ensued. i've wanted a coluzzle since the first time i saw it in action. but i'm a shop-a-holic, i want pretty much EVERYTHING i see, so i have to pace myself. i'd actually tried to purchase it the conventional way, and was unable to find the circle template (the one i really want) at my LSS or online.

so i turned to my ever helpful. . . wait for it. . . ebay!

and now i'm bidding higher than i usually like to and fighting harder than i thought i'd have to, to win this thing. there are 6 hours left, and mark my words, i will win this darn coluzzle if i have to empty my bank account to do it. ok, maybe i'm just kidding-i'm not empting my bank account-but seriously i want it now and i'm going to get it.
stay tuned, i'll let you know how this ends.

good advice for all scrappers

i'm a big fan of kristina werner's. she does the finally friday video's at two peas in a bucket, as well as make a card monday video's for her own blog. while the card she made today is cute its not one of my favorites, however i wanted to share this video becuase i think she gave some of the best advice for all scrapbookers new and old alike. but particularly for new scrappers becuase we all get a little intimidated at first when we look around at all of the talented scrappers who've come before us.
