quiet time....

What?? Quiet? To most of us with children that probably means the kids are asleep, at school, grandma's house, MAYBE even outside playing? But right now, both my children are sitting in the same big chair and watching Tom and Jerry... About 2 feet from me! Quiet long enough for me to notice, decide to make a new blog post, and type what I have so far. AMAZING. This is a first. Expecially since I have spent the better part of this morning getting my son to take a two minute time out for stabbing (k maybe not STABBING) his sister with a pencil! Anyway, I better get to the point before this ends and I wont be able to publish this post!
I am really excited about all the new bows I made last week I hope you have checked them out via the post below! I am going to be making some Halloween and Thanksgiving bows next. (yay)

My friend who is due beginning of October is in desperate need of a baby shower. So it's time to dust off my cricut and get to work! I can't wait to share the favors and invites! This will be fun and I will post pictures soon. I am in the process of looking through all my svg files to find the best baby themed ones I have. If you are a cricut user and do not have Sure cuts a lot yet, please check this out-

SVG CUTS

I have never bought a cartridge! I love their sets! I will be making most of the baby shower decorations with their stuff also!

Hope everyone's day is as quiet and peaceful as mine is right now! (and the rest of my day too! haha ...I can hope can't I?)

My newest creation!

My husbands brother just got married on June 19th and at the last minute we couldn't make it to Canada. So with the help of my cricut and svgcuts.com this really made it feel like I was there! lol. It may look like just a box but it is stuffed with memories! I hope they like it!!

And inside the pocket.....

vellum "Forever" on top So you can barely see them through it!

and in THAT pocket...

Sorry I know I went a little crazy on the pictures, but I am so happy with how this turned out, and I wanted to share... I really wanted to keep this for myself, lol.

Free Kindle book! A Little Death In Dixie.

After being bugged forever by my mother I finally Got the Kindle app for my newest baby (my EVO). I bought a book for 89 cents that I am really enjoying. But the only thing better than a book for 89 cents is a Bestselling Thriller for FREE! It's got great reviews so that is why I was surprised to see it for free. Here it is on amazon.

Setting up a blog for the first time....EVER!

I know nothing about blogging! When I was in high school, I had a xanga! It was kinda like a public diary. Is that the same feel here? Don't give me permission to ramble on because I will! But, anyway, I wanted to have a place to share my crafty stuff!  I am excited to start this and learn as I go!
