Finally

Hi!
I've had a hard time this allergy season, it's pretty much taken all my creativity and shuffled aside. I'm feeling better and back to creating. Here's a quick card I made for a dear friend. I forgot how much fun it is to make things with my Cricut.

Greetings

Hi!
I am still here. I'm not sure anyone is following, but if you are, thank you. I apologize for not keeping this blog up. Time to make a decision. Surf the internet for hours on end or actually use my stuff and share. Hmmmmm...... Guess I better hide the mouse and get out the glue pens, and take this blog thing seriously. LOL!!!

All is well with the family. I was gifted with a Cricut Gypsy and I've been making so much more stuff. It was all given away over the holidays so it's time to start again. I still haven't resolved the printer/scanner/computer issue despite numerous attempts. I'm going to dig out our camera and go back to taking photos and posting, at least I think I can still do that.

Wishing everyone well.

Not much happening. I've made great progress on the cross stitch piece Noah's Sub. Loom Knitted a hat and scarf set for my dear MIL, she's been diagnosed with breast cancer and is awaiting surgery, so our focus is there. I've been using my Cricut for wall art for the youth group at church. And shamelessly entering contest to win free cartridges or the new Gypsy device. Other than that we've been busy doing the usual day to day stuff.

Wow, 100 cartridges, that's awesome.

My unmounted storage system

Here is the way I store my unmounteds. I'm new at blogging, so they are out of order a bit. I think this is enough to make sense. Let me know if it doesn't make sense.

Happenings so far this summer

Hi!
Least you think all I've done this summer was play on the computer and post blog contests, I will give a short summary of the happenings.

Family - We;ve gone on lots of day trips, kept busy hanging out with friends and family, and done lots of church activities. I've really enjoyed spending this summer with the family. The kids are finally getting bored, which means school is close to starting. The boys are going up to Delta this week to buy their books. DD and I will be going clothes shopping and getting hair cuts to start the school year off. Something new this year, she now needs time in the morning to put on her make up and do her hair. Good heavens, she's growing up quickly.

Crafting - I started and finished a small cross stitch piece, it's 4 different cact, with the names. I made this one for DH because he's a big fan of cactus. I've been working on blank cards for future use, DD and I tie died fabric for T-Shirts and I used the left over die to make bulletin board coverings. I'm updated three boards at my church. I've learned how to get photo id on my cell phone, and assign different ring tones to different people, okay, that's seems silly, but I've been trying to get that figured out for a while now. I've gotten hooked on audio books on my I-Touch, I can get a lot of stitching done while a book is being read. One day I even got a good nap in, listening to Hercule Poirot, LOL!!!! I've really been working a lot with my Cricut, I've been trying to get more familiar with the different feature buttons and I've just about got those down. Now I'm on to learn how to use the Designer Software better. I even taught someone else how to use the Cricut, so another fan has been created, YEAH!!!! I used felt to make a board for kids to toss a velcro covered ball against. I used the Cricut to cut the large pieces of felt and letters, the board was used on a mission trip, and I learned how to multi cut and cut fabric. I have one more sewing machine project to work on today, probably finish it tomorrow. Last goal of the summer is to off load some photos from the computer, to save space, and then I need to figure out how to post photos of my work on this blog.

That's it, enjoy.
