'Tis Thursday and CHA is OVER!

All right. I have to be honest with you guys. I have gotten very little done lately as I have been absorbing all of the videos from CHA on people's blogs. The products that have come out are just inspiring and fun!!! I am so jealous of all those people who live so close to such wonderful supplies! Me? I live in a tiny town waaaaay up North and my only place to shop is half an aisle in our Walmart. Yup! That's it. Pitiful, huh? But hey! I have managed to do pretty good with what little I have had. And I have even been able to pick up some small things at Michaels when I was in Edmonton for my son's medical tests. There are sooo many things I can't wait to  try! I don't know yet how I will get my hands on them-but I WILL get my hands on them! In the mean time, for some awesome product peeks, check out PaperClipping's blog. There are so many videos to watch! My FAVORITE product peek over there is Ranger Ink's Dylusions. Dyan Reavely is an AMAZING artist!!! Her products look like an artists wish list for bliss! I am awestruck! Even my husband applauded her! My husband!!!?! I have so many beautiful ideas for cards and layouts-I can't wait to get dirty!!!! Also, a 'must check out' item is the new DIY Thickers! (I bet Megan Elizabeth over at Above Rubies Studio is going crazy over them!) What a great way to personalize any layout!!! ACK! So many ideas!!! Another product I am tripping over is Megan Elizabeth's new Edgers! FINALLY an edging ink pad made for me!!!! I also can't WAIT to see her Sparkle Lights! AHHHH! So many great things and I am going crazy with ideas and projects I can't wait to work on! Now if only I could find my money.....here, money money money!

    Hi, thanks for the lovely comment on my blog! I live close to where CHA was held and I did not go this year, mainly because my kids were super sick and we were suppose to have company in town... There is always next year or this summer!

Hey, everyone! Happy New Year and welcome to the very first My Cricut Craft Room blog hop of 2013! You should have come from Jamie's blog  but if you have stumbled upon my blog unexpectedly, you may want to start following the hop at the beginning . I hope all of your holidays were blessed and that this new year finds you all happy! I know I am happy-to be on such a wonderful Design Team with AMAZING and very talented Design Team sisters. You have many wonderful project ideas in store for you today!  Today I wanted to share with you some projects from the Mini Monograms, 9 Months, Beep Beep, and Cherry Limeade cartridges. My first project was made using the Mini Monograms cart. I have been BIG into mini projects lately and this one followed suit. I made some fun little 'Kiss Cards'. I love leaving little notes around the house for my husband to find and these cute little cards take it up a notch. With these cards, you can leave kisses lying around the ho

Fall Mini Book

Image
Hello, everyone! How are y'all?? I know I know, I disappeared for a while. The truth is, I lent my computer to somebody who needed it for the past few weeks. I am back and have a ton of stuff to show ya. For this post I have to be quick. I found out this afternoon about a design team call and it ends in 38 minutes! Talk about getting it in by the skin of my teeth! But not bad for only knowing about it a couple of hours! For the submission, we have been asked to do make something with our cricut that is new and it needs to be Fall themed. So, for my submission, I decided to do a cute little mini book for my sister who is expecting a girl in February. I enjoyed it so much that I think I am going to do another mini book for the other three seasons to complete a mini collection for her little one. I used my cricut and the new Close To My Heart Artiste cartridge, (which I am IN LOVE with!!!), as well as the Art Philosophy cartridge. The pages of the book are chipboard pieces from Clos

I'm Finally Back!!! Well...almost.

Oh my goodness!!!! It is SO good to be 'back'! The past 6 weeks have been Hell!!! Ironically, the day of my last post, I got a prescription for an antibiotic to cure an infection I had in my right pointer finger. I have eczema and it is very sensitive to weather. During our hottest and driest week, my eczema became painfully dry and cracked which let in normal bacteria that is found on our hands. Unfortunately, I also have asthma and severe seasonal allergies. (Seasonal allergies were the worst this summer too!) So on top of all the 'fighting' my poor body was doing, the infection was too much and it overran my system. To make a long, and extremely painful, story short the infection overtook both my hands rendering them useless for the past 6 weeks. I am on my 6th or 7th course of antibiotics. After being in and out of the ER on IV antibiotics for a week and a half, and the infection only getting worse, the doctor finally admitted me to the hospital for 4 days last week
