Hello Crafty Friends,

       I am going to be going along with Robyns national scrapbook day challenges today.  I will try to put all of my challenges up during the hour that she has them but I do have a lacrosse tournament today with my oldest daughter and my younger two both have baseball today so it may be a real challenge:) If I don't get them up during the hour then keep checking back because I will get them all up today.  Have a great day crafting today everyone

Blog Hop and Day 36 Challenge

Good Morning fellow Hopers,

      I am so excited to have hop on over to my blog:) This is my spring layout that I created just last night because we have been without power for the last few days.  We are in Ohio and it was so so so COLD, but we managed through.  On this layout I used the new cricut cartridge spring (seasonal).  I love this cartridge and have a feeling that I will be using it quite often.  I also used the Close to my Heart paper pack that is brand new called sophie.  I hope you all enjoy and have a great Saturday:)

You should have started the hop at http://wamfamily.blogspot.com.  After visiting my blog you should hop on over to http://javajencreations.blogspot.com. She has some really cool stuff up on her blog to share with you all today:)

And the winner is....

 I hope your knees are doing better. OUCH! I just joined your blog - love it! I'm also a fan on facebook. I'm trying to catch up on your previous posts... thanx for the opportunity to win a cartridge... much love ~Angie




Thanks so much everyone for the love.  My daughter was up all night getting sick.  Poor thing.  She is the skinniest kid you have ever seen anyway.  Trust me most days I wish I was her.  She also has diabetes so when she is throwing up I get very worried.  She has gone about 6 hours know without getting sick so I think (atleast hope) that we are on the mend.  Thanks again all of you for all the support of my knees and my daughter.  (this was not the way I wanted to start 2011) but hey I have been getting a lot of projects done.  I will start sharing more layouts and cards tomorrow.  I hope you all have a great day.  I will be home doing laundry, taking care of Emma and hopefully get a layout or two done:)  Angie, please contact me with you info so I can get your cartridge in the mail to you:)

Day 31 Challenge

Hello Everyone,
       Today is the day.  I will be giving away a summer vactation cricut cartridge to one lucky winner.  The cartridge is one of the seasonal cartridges from last summer.  I am so sorry that I am not putting a picture of it up on the blog.  While I started typing this my daughters school just called and said that she threw up everywhere.  Yuck.  It is going to be a very interesting day.  All you have to do is leave a comment under this post and you could be the lucky winner.  It is a brand new cartridge that has never been opened.  Have a great day everyone.

Day 30 Challenge

Good Morning Fellow Crafters,

      I am back!!! After being a little out of it this past week because of my injury I am so excited to be back on track.  I went to a crop this weekend with one of my girlfriends and I got My Sons album ALL caught up:) Woo hoo it was about 4 years behind.  It was a lot of fun but I was anxious to come home and share with all of you my favorite layout that I got done.  It is of Benjamins tball from last year when he was on the team with one of his sisters.  I hope you all enjoy and I look forward to sharing more projects with you week:)

I'm out this week

Hello all friends,
I am out for this week! No posts all week. My brother is going to be home tonight who I haven't seen for almost two full years because he was stationed in japan. He is going to be home for a full month... Woo hoo;-) the other thing is that while at my daughters swim meet this weekend I tripped and fell and severally injured both of my knee caps. Ugh they hurt so bad. I can't climb the steps to get to my craft room;-) it is going to be a very long week... On a side note I have been getting lots of things done on my gypsy so I will lots lots of great new projects next weekend... On another note I have finally broke down and ordered an imagine. I can't wait to get it;-) I also plan to get a new flip for more videos. So far on my videos I have been using my iPhone but the downside is that I have to have my hubby here to hold it will I tape the episode so with a flip I will be able to do everything by myself even when he is at work;-) which in turn means more videos for everyone;-). I hope you all have a great week. Big hugs;-)

Day 15-20 Challenge

Good Morning Fellow Crafters,

       Here is my next layout.  I love the way that this challenge turned out.  I am not a hugh pink person but I have to tell you I LOVE LOVE LOVE pink and brown together.  Believe it or not it did take me all week to get this one done.  LOL the kids have had way to much going on this week along with getting my brother home to Ohio this weekend.  I am so excited because he should be home tomorrow night.  I will have another post tomorrow and everyday from then on.  I apologize that the last two weeks have been off a little bit:) SMILES and I hope you have a great day:)

DAY 12,13,14 and 15 Of 365

Hello Fellow Crafters,

      I am so sorry that once again I have missed posting a new project this past week.  One of my brothers that is in the marine corps finally got home.  We have been so so so busy trying to get him home from Japan.  He has been in Japan for the past two years so needless to say this has been a very exciting week for us.  He is still just in California but should be back in Ohio in the next week or so:) Here is a layout that I made this morning and I am going to be crafting all day so I will have some more stuff to put up on my blog for this week.  I hope you all enjoy.  I used the Home Sweet Home paper pack from Close to my Heart and then I used the Old West cartridge to create this one.  I hope you all have an AWESOME Sunday and see you back here tomorrow:)

Day 11 of 365

Okay here it is.  I am so so so excited with the way this turned out.  I have been working on this for the past week or so as I am going to be teaching a class on how to make it at our local Memories Expo.  I hope you all enjoy it.  I haven't decided where to hang it in my house yet but don't worry I will figure it out.  Banners seem to be the big thing right know.  If you are in need of purchasing some banners you can click on my sponsor's link as Close to My Heart has some wonderful banners.  I hope you all stay safe and warm tonight.  We have one heck of a snow storm here in Ohio today.

Day 10 of 365

Here is my day 10 challenge.  I hope you all enjoy and I can not wait for you to see my next challenge.  Have a great night:)

Day 9 of 365 crafting projects

Hello Fellow Crafters,

     Wow this past week has been difficult.  It is snowing snowing and snowing here in Ohio.  I wanted to share this layout with you as I am trying to get my middle daughters scrapbook caught up.  This layout is all about her first tooth that she lost.  I took a ton of pictures so I made lots of areas for pictures.  I hope you all enjoy:)
