To knit or crochet?

So for Christmas I really want a pair of knitted or crochet slippers. I found a pair on etsy
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=19908534



Now I am inspired to make a pair. Does anyone crochet or knit? I have knitted a scarf but that is the extent of my knitting skills. I have heard that crocheting is easier. Can anyone help me out? Should I venture further into knitting or should I convert to crocheting? I love crafts!!!!

Just another layout

I had a few spare moments to work on a few layouts. I'm going through the I don't know if these layouts are very fabulous stage. To me they seem marginal. I need to kick it up a notch. What do you think?

So after waiting too long for my photos to arrive I finally got them yesterday! I worked hard all day adding them to my new mini album that I worked oh so hard on. I love Cosmo Cricket paper and embellishments and this album I think shows how much I adore them so Cosmo Cricket crew if you're reading this... I LOVE YOU.
Here's the album I hope you like it (this is my first ever mini).

A new layout!

I'm entering this layout for the Sketchy Thursdays sketch 11.5. I made this layout using a few techniques I've learned at http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/about.html.
I'm loving this class but just haven't had a lot of time to try out the techniques. So here is one I attempted last night using plain white cardstock, distress inks, gesso, Kaiser craft flowers, glimmer mist (on flowers). I used the distress ink with lace cardstock to create the blue/purple swirls I then used the straw blowing technique for the sort of splatters that look like bird poop ; )
I hope you like it!

Stay tuned...

So I have been a busy gal. My parents have been here visiting for the past 10 days so I only got a little bit of scrapbooking done. I did however manage to create my very first mini album. I am just waiting for my pictures. Once they are added I will post some pics. Once my guests have flown the coop I will get a little more scrapping done!!!! I'm also taking a mini album class at my LSS using Cosmo Crickets "Earth Love" I'm super excited but after the one I just made I think I could be teaching ; D
