In scrapping news - I don't think I posted on my blog yet that I won a Design Team contest. Bay Area Scrapper held a Guest Garage Girl contest (it's named this because the owner runs her store literally out of her garage). Anyway I won one of the 4 spots! With this:

It's for two months and I already have layouts up online for the month of March. My Bio and picture should be up soon. As soon as it goes up - it'll be time to take it down since it is only for two months but you never know what the future may hold!!

In knitting news....

Here are two gifts I have finished recently. The first was a scarf for my friend Julie for her birthday. I think she liked it. It's a basic garter stitch scarf with fringe and then later I crocheted in some random blue fuzzy stripes and added a knitted flower. I'd never crocheted into a knitted item before or made a flower so that was fun.

I also finished up a baby kimono style sweater that I got from Teri in my Knitting CJ group. Thanks Teri! The pics of her baby girl in a lavender one was so cute that I had to try it out. I picked primary colors (since it is for a boy) and tried to give it some Gymboree style. It was hard to part with but I think my SIL liked it. The best part will be seeing a little baby boy wrapped up in it!!

Okay - here is the update on the carpet. It is in, our house feels new and we basically moved in and out of our house in 4 days. Everything is not put back together yet and Matt and I had the crazy idea that it would look cool if we painted (in other words just me) the living room. I picked a buttery tan and a darker shade. It looks great but I am pooped. Now the boys want to paint their room but I have to recooperate first before I can attempt that!

In other news, I got the new Making Memories book and I have two layouts in it. I am very excited about the one called Be An Original because it is about my name and all that goes with being a girl named Kent. I think it is funny that the silver "be an orginal" bar is totally crooked. I just noticed that. I also like the fact that Tyler branded it by scribbling on the cover the same day I got it. So that is my short lived scrapbook layouts published career. Who know when I'll get anything else picked up.

UGH - I have so much crap!!!! I got this idea in my head that we needed new carpet and it is great that we are bascially getting it for free (Matt's uncle owns a carpet store) the downside is I didn't realize how tough it is to get new carpet in when you are currently living in the house. I don't see myself as much of a clutter person but gees where did I accumulate all this crap!! It's driving me crazy. And I can't blame it on anyone else. I have boxes of old photos, bags of yarn, shoes and everything else imaginable. The only people in this house that has more crap are the boys. I want that crew from Clean Sweep to come in now!! Help!!! Okay - now that I vented its time to move more junk and hoepfully this will motivate me to go through everything before I move it back in and condense some of this stuff!
