One Of My Favorite Things!- Friday

Happy Friday,

I am so happy that today is Friday, but I am not happy about the weather!  It is supposed to snow flurry tomorrow.  It is cold and dreary.  Oh I want the spring!

Well I am ready for my crop tonight.  I can't wait.  I am a little tired, but I think I am motivated to get some serious scrapping done tonight.  The difference tonight is that I haven't been scrapping much during the week lately because I have been exercising, playing with the kids, or playing outside (when the weather was nice).  So I have a huge motivation to get something done!  PLUS I am going to go shopping.  My store has almost everything new in it! I want sooo much.  Here is my wish list so far:

1. Crate Paper - 2 collections neighborhood and toy box
2.Bella Blvd- I want 3 of their new lines
3.  basic grey- the birthday line
4.  Echo Park- i want the new playground
5.  Jillibean Soup- they have 3 lines out and I want all 3

Wow! I think I need to get a second job to support my habit of scrapping!  hehehehehhe

I am going to start an occasional post of my favorite things.  Today I am focusing on my recent purchase that I bought just for myself.  It is the Epson All in One Printer Artisan 835.

My scrap room is in the basement and our family printer is upstairs in the office.  If I needed to print something for a layout I would have to run upstairs and print it out. It also was not a good photo printer.  I have added a little end table next to my scrap table and I have the printer right next to me.  I love it.  I also have used it to print my own pictures.  I love it.  I can now print just the pictures that I want to use on a layout.  I don't have to print off 100 pictures now.  I am in scrapbooking heaven!  For my birthday I am asking hubby for Photoshop Elements so that I will be able to really edit and enhance my photos.  I know there is a huge learning curve but I think it will be fun to learn.

I bought this printer as a gift for myself.  I very rarely treat myself to something, but I have been wanting this for about 2 years now, and I finally did it.  I am so happy with my decision.  I now couldn't live without it.

So what is everyone doing this weekend?  I really don't have much on my plate at all.  It is supposed to be cold so we will be staying in.  On Sunday Jeff and Jack are going to visit his mom, and Michael and I are staying home.  Michael will be taking a nap so I will have about an hour and half to do anything I want in the house.  It will almost be like I am all alone.  I am so excited.  I may take a nap, read, watch a movie or just scrap.  Who knows.  I am so excited.  I haven't had time to myself in awhile.   It should be  fun. 

I hope everyone has a great day and weekend and I will be back on Monday with something new. I have been having fun with making cards with Jillibean Soup products.  I am going to have a theme for next week.  I will feature a new card everyday using their products.  (Not getting anything from them--just love her products and I am lovin' them) I am just totally addicted right now to making cards.  Thanks so much for stopping by!
