More projects!

Ok, so I know everyone doesn't want to see every project I make.  :)  But I just finished these 3 cards and am very happy with the way they turned out...I had to share them!

New Cricut!

For my birthday my Mom helped me buy a Cricut cutting machine!  It is amazing!!!!  It does everything from cutting simple shapes to cutting out the most complicated designs.  I will be able to use it for scrapbooking, cards, gifts and lots more.  I was at a scrapbooking fair over the weekend and ran into one of our old neighbors who said she had a few extra cartridges for the Cricut that she had gotten for gifts.  I offered to pay her but she wanted nothing but to know they would be put to good use.  I was so excited!  One of them was a Disney cartridge that cuts out all kinds of Disney characters.  This is the first project I have made with it.

It was fun yet time consuming.  Each color needs to be cut out separately and glued together.  I know I will get better with it in time!  I am really looking forward to seeing what I can do with it!!!  Thanks Mom!!!

Mom's visit

My mom was in town this last week and even though it started out rough with me having the flu it was a really great week.  I know she was really excited to see the kids, but it was nice for me to have a house guest and someone around here at night.  The first few pictures are at the Rockton Inn for dinner where we all enjoyed a good meal with the whole family.
Then Mom, Grandma, Lydia and I went to the Hononegah Musical "Susical".  It was a cute show and Lydia did great for her first "big girl show".
Today we all went to breakfast and to the mall to spend the last few hours with mom before she left.  Lydia go to jump on the big tramp.  At first the lady had her going to high and I don't think she liked the feeling of loosing her tummy, but once she brought her down a little she loved it!  
It is always hard saying goodbye since we all know it will be awhile before we see each other again.
