Tim Holtz: 12 Tags of 2013 August

Good evenin' folks! I am so excited to share with you some tags that my good friend, Crystal and I made today! She happened to be in town for a short visit, so we were able to get a little crafty time in today since there wasn't much else going on! It was such a perfect Monday. We slept in, got up and went down to the coffee shop by my house for a mid morning snack and iced lattes. We chilled there for a while and got to read the local papers for a bit, then planned our day! Making homemade horchata, doing her laundry from the 2 week road trip, and an afternoon of crafting! It was so nice to take a break and just spend most of the day at home. It was a break I think we both needed and it was so good to scrap together again after a very long time!!! So I am really happy with how our tags turned out- we each did 2 tags, and they are each individually unique but fit with the TH theme this month which is 'travel' of all kinds! 

Here are Tim's inspirational tags:

I also really had alot of fun showing her some new techniques and new products. It was cool to feel like a teacher for the afternoon! We each did 2 tags and then went out on to my little mini yard/patio area at my new place and took some great pictures. It was right before the sun went down so we were able to capture some great shots on the slate rock pieces. Enjoy the photos!

 And from instagram earlier this evening...

Thanks so much for stopping by tonight! I had so much fun spending some crafty time with one of my best friends...so glad they stayed with us for 2 nights and we got to catch up...it was alot of fun and a great start to my long 7-day stretch ahead. Next I will be tackling my 2nd CSI Case file and then my next DT project, but I feel energized and inspired from my mini weekend with my girl! It was so great and so much fun, Thanks CJB!!! ;) 

Until next time, Peace Yall~ VV

everything's new**

WARNING: PHOTO-HEAVY POST AHEAD!

Hi friends! It feels like I have been ignoring blog land lately, well I haven't done it on purpose it's just I've been kinda busy. I just moved 2,800 miles from Mobile, Alabama to Portland, Oregon! The journey is finally over, all that's left to do is finish setting up our house and get settled in with new furniture, decor, new projects I want to make until this place is just how I want it. It's going to take alot of work, but it's exciting all at the same time- a new city to explore, new surroundings, a new job (with the same company) everything is new! When we first got here last Sunday, I had a few mini breakdowns. I was so overwhelmed at the amount of stuff to be done and stuff to buy, now I am feeling a little better about it since our out of town guests are gone. I have 3 days to get some more projects done until I go back to work. It has really been an experience driving across the country and getting to see the USA from the road! It was a fun trip. So I don't have any fun crafty stuff to share today, but I do have LOTS of good pictures I took from the road..me and my sis in my loaded down little Toyota with my kitty cat driving the whole way! So I hope you enjoy these...you will be seeing these very soon in my projects, I plan on making a 'ROAD TRIP' album as soon as i can get my studio set up and these babies printed, but for now ENJOY :) They are kind of out of order!

What in the world would we do without instagram? Right? I was already addicted but since this trip I've pretty much decided I will probably only scrap instagrams from now on...for one they are the perfect size and for 2 you get to edit and share them immediately! If you are a blog follower, I would love if you'd follow me on instagram @khhollister

Until next time Y'all~ VV
