Itsy Bitsy Spider

Aren't these super cute!! I am making these for Will's class. This is the first one. There is a peppermint patty in the middle - I figured this would be the perfect little treat and not to much candy. I hope the kids enjoy them. Carts used Mini Monograms, Plantin Schoolbook and Mickey Font (letter "L" for legs) Will post more pics when done!!

Mom's Birthday Gift

Here is a birthday present I made for my mom. I used A Child's Year. I chose this image because she is the youngest of three children and has an older sister and brother. She loved it!!

It's Here!!

I got my "Just Because Cards" cart today in the mail and I am super excited to use it! It's has a lot of cute images that would be great scrapbooking as well as cards.

Some Cards

Here are some of my latest cards. Snowman card was done with the Snow Friends cart and the other 2 with Sweet Treats.

Weekend Crafts

As I patiently await the arrival of my new cricut cartridge :) I thought I would share a few of the things I made this weekend. I've been stressed lately and decided to carve out some Mommy Time" The recipe I made a few months ago in a class and decided to finally finish it up. It started as chipboard and paper - I even bound it(with the help of my bind it all!) I am quite proud of it and am thinking of collecting some family recipes and passing it on to Will one day. Cartridges used From my Kitchen and A Child's Year.

Next I made a quick cart for our friend Gabe's 2nd Birthday. I used Doddlecharms and Sweet Treats. It came out cute!

Muffin Tin Monday

Today's theme was circus so we had some circus food complete with animals. Menu included a corn dog,animal crackers,popcorn and a fruit chew.

Cricut Koozie

Here is a drink koozie I decorated with vinyl. I think it turned out cute and it was less than $2 to make!

Latest Cricut Projects

Here are my latest cricut projects -The first are some plastic pins that I picked up at a yard sale for the less than a dollar for 6(one not pictured) I labeled them using Design Studio and Vinyl-my first time using DS and vinyl. Great toy storage. I am happy with how they turned out. Then I made a purse for our cousin's birthday using the popular freezer paper method. Cousin Tiffany LOVED it!

I WON!!

I am so excited! I entered my first cricut challenge and I won! Here is the sketch and my entry.

Birthday Goodies and Snake Catchin'

Here's some pictures of mom's birthday back in the beginning of the month. I made her a 60 Sucks bouquet,got her a gift to Belk(one of her favorite stores) and took her to lunch. I got the bouquet idea from the Cricut MB and it turned out pretty well. I just had to hide it from Will because he LOVES Dum Dum pops.

Also a pic of my new patio set which I am so looking forward to using this summer. Got a great deal at Wal Mart and I had some anniversary money put aside. Family cook outs will be great this season! And I figure since it's a good size Will and I could do projects and play doh on it as well. I am trying to really create a relaxing vibe on my back porch -somewhere to wind down and hang out. And my summer goal is to do more reading so this will be perfect.

We got a butterfly net at the dollar store the other day to use getting bugs out of the kiddie pool but as you can see Will has other plans for it!! He told me he was catching bees! Bees is his word for anything that flies. Instead we caught a ........SNAKE!! I am not especially scared of snakes but when I encountered this up close and personal I was a little concerned. Turns out it was just a King Snake which is pretty much harmless. And they kill copperheads so that's a good thing. Will was not afraid at all -he hissed at it and tried to follow it down into the woods.
