One Happy Whovian

This weekened was without a doubt an epic experience!

Why you ask? I got to meet the 8th Doctor at the Cincinnati Comic Expo!

(He even signed my book, spontaneously hugged me and *gasp* kissed me on the cheek! Yes- I had a fangirl moment!)





If you have never watched Doctor Who before, you may not understand why I find this SO awesome!  So let me explain.  I have been a Doctor Who fan (or as we call ourselves: a Whovian) for quite some time! Doctor Who is the longest running science fiction show in history and first aired in 1963.  Even though it is the longest running TV series, it has had quite a few actors play the role of the Doctor, 12 to be exact.  The show is marvoloues because it can get away with changing the actor who plays the main character by having him "regenerate" into a different actor.

Unforunately, I have come to realize that as a Whovian, we cannot fully explain the greatness of Doctor Who to a non-watcher without sounding completely insane while doing it! So I won't try to here! But I will urge anyone who hasn't seen the show to please go to Netflix and do so.  You'll thank me later.

Here are some of my other favorite moments from the Comic Expo this weekend!

 



So let me leave you with some wise words from the Doctor.

“We’re all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?”
— The Doctor, Season 5, Episode 13

I've got sunshine...

Good for you if you didn't sing the rest of those lyrics after you read the title of this post! I had it stuck in my head while I was making this cake!

This past weekend I made a smash cake for Kinley, an adorable one year old.  Her theme was sunshine and this was what I came up with!

I was so happy to hear she dug into the cake a tiny bit when it was time! One of these days a kid will just destroy a smash cake I make! Isn't she just such a cutie?

So glad I got to see Elise when I dropped of the cake! I don't see her often enough and can't wait to spend Halloween with her in New Orleans! 

Hope everyone has a little sunshine in their week! 

Project Life Storage

Hey there crafty people! I have not posted on my blog in forever and I wanted to fix that.

Lately I have been working on purging, cleaning, and organizing my craft space. I am feeling so much better now that there is less in my space and organizing has been pretty fun.  Today I have come up with my ideal storage solution for Project Life cards! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

The cart and main plastic divider are from IKEA (Links to find everything will be at the bottom of the post.) The four front bundles of cards are in little paper boxes I made with my Silhouette (the pattern for the box is the "3d vertical journaling card storage box" by Lori Whitlock) and I only used the smaller boxes of the pattern.

Here is a top view just to show just how much you can fit in the cart!



From the front, you can see the dividers I created with my Silhouette to divide my sets of Project Life cards. (Side note: See that little basket on the side holding my Stickles? It's the Bygel container from IKEA and they hang beautifully off the side of the cart!)



A close up of the dividers:



Here you can see how the box I made on my Silhouette fits up and under the Antonius divider.  I had to slightly angle the divider up and slip the boxes under before setting the divider down.  Then I  filled them up!



Hope this helps you with organizing your Project Life cards!
