I am getting excited! Its the end of the month, so I am about ready to swap out! Waiting on a few more in the mail, and then I will be able to start swapping out!
This is the first month that I am hosting it. I have all but 4, 3 have been "mailed" out. I haven't heard from one person, but she has been thru a rough time and I don't think she will be able to make it for this months swap.
I really can't wait! I will hopefully be able to start swapping out all the items by Friday! I will keep the blog up to date! I hope to even post pictures as I am working on swapping the items out!
I am currently working on my Feb 1st Die cut swap! I am working on my spring items. I am going to be doing flowers. I will post pics probably tomorrow. :) I can't wait to see the finish product. I hope they come out the way they look in my head. heheh always hard to recreate whats in my head.
Until next time! ^_^

Feb. Die Cut 1
Today I was able to get some scrap time in! YAY! <3
I used my slice, along with my homemade Glimmer Mists to make my Valentines Die Cuts for Sally's swap. I used my Wedding card to cut out the double heart in pink and then used my Neon Pink Glimmer Mist, and then cut out the word Love and glued the title in the middle of the hearts!
This swap is meant to be simple and not really embellished but it has to be something you would use yourself! This will be my first time doing simple die cuts. I know that they are super simple and easy, but that will be my joy for this swap. Most of my other stuff is very well embellished. :) I love my embellishments. Here is the picture of the finished project:
The picture is a little blurry, and you really can't tell that the hearts have my Glimmer on them. :(

My Amazing Deals
So after reading posts about the Slice Machine, being on Clearance at M's (Michaels) I looked up all the information I could on the Slice, and decided that it would be a good investment. I went to the store with the mind set that I would go to 3 different M's to look for one since I jumped on the band wagon so late, I went with the mind set that I wouldn't find one. There was one left at the very first that M's that I went to, I was so excited! I got the machine, for 19.99, I was also able to find, the hand free kit for 11.99, an extra set of blades for 1.99, color markers and black markers for 3.99, the pens for 2.99. That M's didn't have any really good cards, so I went to my other local M's. There I found a few cards that I found interesting, I got 4 cards.
Over the next couple of weeks I started looking for cards. I posted on SB.com about my findings and there is one card that I really wanted because I love Christmas, I wanted the Noel! I kept looking local and I found a couple of people that would look for me at there local M's. I found a couple more at mine and while I was out of town I stopped at that local M's and found 5 different cards that I didn't have.
Now that the cards have gone down to 2.00 someone on SB.com had a bunch at there local M's so I asked them to buy me all the ones that I did not have that they had, even if I did not really want them, I know that I will be able to use them in my swaps. For 2.00 I figured that it wouldn't be such a big deal. She found me 9 cards I have 4 coming in the mail from others and I have 11 card here with me. I know that besides the tools and the storage container and the Noel Card, that what I have now that my M's are now sold out, I have everything that I will ever have. I will not pay 50.00 for a card, just as I will not pay 40.00 for a Cricut Card. I will always be on the look out for deals!
As soon as I receive all my cards I will post a list on here! :)
Until Next Time! :)
