Happy Hump Day

It's Wednesday and I can't believe I"m sitting here updating...usually it's one of my busiest days of the week and I really don't do anything other than work, sleep and cook dinner...but I was home alittle early this morning.... I was so honored to be featured on the inspirational blog the other day..how sweet Julie was...Thanks Julie....I absolutely love your site and look forward to new features every day Here is my take on the challenge over at BBTB blog. We were asked to make something using the lucky cut from Alphalicious cart. The frame actually opens and the dice sit on the inside of the card but can be seen from the outside...lol...did that make any sense? Thank you Regina for sending this cut to me. I also received my free cart from Cricut today. Back in February if you purchased 2 carts from Wal-Mart then you could get a free cart from them. I got the Stamped cart today...woohoo...we all know how we love freebies.... Well I"m off to jump in the shower and make dinner. They will be coming in shortly from school/work.. Hugs from a very pretty day in Charm City

Happy Sunday Evening

How was everyone's weekend....mine was extra special...Friday was our anniversary and yesterday was my birthday....we took off for the beach yesterday to spend the day relaxing and partying...and had a wonderful time...Tricia, Scott and myself...not to mention, I finally was able to stop at all of those little shops that I've wanted to for years now...I guess it pays to be the birthday girl...lol.... Here's some projects that are older, but I thought that I would post them here on my blog since I hadn't posted in so long over this year....hope you enjoy them and can get some sort of inspiration.... look at the motion in this photo. I loved it when I downloaded it from my camera and it looked just like this... I used a negative from a cut on my cricut and light moldeling past to give this card some dimention. Have a happy week ahead... Hugs from a very sweet Charm City

Just a little "quicky"

Just been doing some things around here and there...went down to the ocean this past weekend for a convention...it's was cool, but different from past years of ones that I've gone too...but I did get to meet a couple girls that just opened a store down where I work...I loved their products that they offered at the convention too...not to mention, they loved my purse that I had made...we were chatting abit and I had mentioned that I was an instructor and loved to teach classes...so she mentioned that I should stop by and we can discuss maybe teaching in her store....woohoo...that would be great...

This coming weekend is our anniversary and my birthday...we are bak off to the ocean again to celebrate together...so it'll be a fun time...

Here's a few projects that I've worked on this past week or so....

I'm sitting here searching the net and trying to catch up on some friends...this Saturday will be my first day off in about 4 weeks now, and I am sooooooo looking forward to it. Then I go to just working Mondays thru Fridays...and that my friend is such a welcome change. I will get to hang out with my family on the weekends and not be sooo tired. Not much to say so here's a little book that I made for our newest grandbaby Makayla....I used the Cricut machine with the Pooh and Friends font. All of the little pooh babies are on the cart and I just thought they were so adorable...Thank you goes out to Jody and Brad for sending this to me...I LOVE IT!!!!

It's a Beautiful Tuesday Morning

Happy Tuesday....it's really early here...I've been up since about 11:45pm working....so I' am a bit tired this morning, but I wanted to do an update here before I went off to bed.

Here's the set I made for the BBTB blog for the first week of being her guest designer....

Let's get Together Set

The challenge was to use the mug from the Christmas Cheer cart from the Cricut machine. Take a gander over and see what all of the awesom designers came up with. Their designs are just so creative and lovely....

Yesterday I took my mother and daughter to lunch at this Japenese steak house for lunch...it was jsut awesom...the food was outstanding, not to mention the show that they do at the grill that's in front of you...we had a perfect time together...and we even made it to Joanns for alittle shopping...

I just wanted togive a shout out to a few freinds and family for their birthdays...

Our little grandbabies Bayleigh and Noah---sorry that we couldn't be there to help celebrate your birthday....we miss you very much and can't wait to see you...

And to my nephew Christopher who is in the Army in Texas right now. Happy Birthday Chris. We miss and love you to...

And to a dear friend who has been since I first started coming onto the internet way back when. We met over at CKMB site...Happy Birthday Bonnie...sorry you couldn't open the e-card I had sent you....I'm hoping that I can make the New Jersey show, but it's not looking like I'll be able to. I might just be a last minute thing though....

Well need to run and get some shut eye. My eyelids are very heavy.

Hugs from a very pretty day in Charm City
