The amazing Cricut

I love my cricut, it does some amazing things. But probably my favorite things are when I use it out of the ordinary. A couple of weeks ago I taught an Iris folding class. I think iris folding is fun and easy and a great way to make impressive cards. I used my cricut with animal kingdom to create my cards. Here is a sample- I think they turned out great!!!

Watch OUT Megan is now driving!!!!

I know that I should not be surprised but Megan got her temps and is now driving anytime she can get behind the wheel. Which is not often enough for her. Many of you know Curt was in a bad accident in mid January and totaled our truck. So we are using a rental temporally, and they won't let her drive that!!! Smart people! lol Actually she is doing pretty well. Yesterday her best friend passed out in class and was taken to the hospital- from there they airlifted her to Marshfield. She has a brain tummor about twice the size of a walnut. So please keep Brittney in your prayers. And Maggie too, she is having a hard time right now while her best friend suffers.

I know that my troubles which at times seem surmountable (especially lately) are just mere annoyences- but to add to the list this morning our water was froze!!!!!!!! I can't wait for summer.

Last week I had a class where we made pet books- here is a sample of the dog. This class was so much fun and who would not love one of these books? Here is a picture. Also I am working on the cookbook class coming up- this one is going to be great.

Oh- I also attached another picture of little miss driving megan taken at her last photo shoot!

Brrrrrrr......We are back

We arrived late last night to an unexpected snowfall. Everytime we come back from Anheim it is the same- we end up being late because of snow! Though it is nice to be home, I have to say I did not miss the cold much. We are so excited about all of the beautiful new items that we purchased. Just wait- you are going to be excited too!

Come welcome us back with a $50 purchase and we have a free set of stamps for you!!! This adorable set from Hiedi Grace.

Good Morning from SUNNY California!!!

Today the sun is shining here in California. We had a fabulous day yesterday and bought so much that we should not be going back today!! lol Amazing new Sizzix- and we are going to announce a visitor coming in May soon!!!! YES!! We also ordered Obamia paper for all of you that had Inagual parties- yes I know that some of you did. so many new pretty things- I added lots to the slide show. I am on my way in now to order more. I will get back here to update when I can- our hotel does not have wifi- can you believe the nerve!!! Here is a cute new sample from sizzix.

Preview Parties

Coming to you from beautiful semi warm California. We went to several preview parties yesterday, even Creative Imaginations Stars Wars party---believe me only in Hollywood!!!!

I am putting up a new slide show of some of the great things we have seen so far. Check back often- I will keep updating!

We are in California!!!

CHA here we are!!! The weather is a little iffy, but we are not complaining. A little rain at 62 is better than no rain at 3. We are just starting to see some of the new things that are coming out. So far we have seen adorable baby papers from Little Yellow Bicycle- here are some pictures of projects from one of their new lines. I will add more pictures in a few hours!!!

January Kit of the Month

It is that time again to start putting together our January kits of the month and get our samples ready for the February kit of the month. This is probably the most hectic time of the month for us- trying to get 2 kits ready on top of our other classes and of course our home lives. And this month we are getting ready for Winter CHA (we leave on Friday Jan 23th!) I actually think that this may be my favorite time of the month- even though it is so busy- I love the engery of all of the creating! It really stimulates me and keeps me hopping. Here is one of the cards from the January kit. It uses that popular collage technique.
