Butterflies Birthday Card

Well the card has been given and the hugs have been given. Happy Birthday Lidy-Loo! I made this card for a co-worker and I must say pretty amazing card it is. It's even better in person, I promise! Used my skill of putting the L back together, and made the butterflies with a bit of guess and check and from there it was a clear run-away project. Now to start on another birthday card.....wonder who I could do next?

Craft Room

So I know that you are all chomping at the bit to see what I have done for the past who knows how long with the craft room. It's still a work in progress but so far this is what I have come up with. I obviously need another shelf to house all of the carts but they can wait for now.

A Rockin' Birthday Card

Here is the latest creation. It was Anthony's birthday on the 9th of this month and with my craft room redesign, I wasn't able to get him a card on time. So here is what I made for him. He received a pair of headphones so I went with that theme.

Ssshhh! It's a secret

Well I am to a point in the Craft Room that I can possibly work on a card or two. I've got a list and boy does it seem to be getting longer and longer. I think working on the craft room put me a month behind schedule.

Anyway, that wasn't why I was posting. I'm posting and I'm so hoping that the few that follow this page, don't tell the ProvoCraft People. So there has been plenty of bluster about ProvoCraft's new software, where it is free to use and easy to work with. Well for months, I have been checking and re-checking to see if I could even get into the beta site; only to be told that I didn't have access. Well this morning, I decided to give it a whirl since I was in the process of adding some things to my account. They really should be a delete button or something on of these things. Anway, off topic again.

Well I tried to get into the CraftRoom beta site aaaaaand it worked! I was pretty freaking hype about it and I even got to download I guess the regular version and I even tested out a cut. So much easier than Design studio since that is a nightmare to deal with. It gets the job done but it could take you an hour to figure something out.

So all the wammering about something.

CraftRoom lives! /O\ *hands up and par-tay*

Almost Done!

Well it has been a task and a half trying to get the craft room back to functioning order. I've got my machines where I want them, I've sorted through things and manage to find some items worthy of being sent to the GoodWill and found some things that I thought I lost.

I'm hoping today can be the day that I can get the room in the final working stages.

/O\ Yay! Hands up! I still have aways to go but not much. Figure out my paper woes which started this whole mess along with the desk. Now though, I'm happy with the way things are turning out.

CONspiracy! A C.O.N. spiracy I tell ya'

Well it seems that my plan for the Craft Room has blown up in my face. I thought it would be easy enough to put together the desk that I ordered from Staples, and well I guess I didn't realize how large it actually was, so the thought of just moving a couple of things out of the way so didn't work. I can barely get into the room and that's just no good. How's a girl to make cards when she can't even walk into the room to begin with? I shall continue on though, I think I'm super close right now, but with a bum foot standing for long periods of time is always a bad idea, but good thing I don't have to wear shoes at home. that would have been an issue for sure.

The mother figure wants me to seek care, but I couldn't do that today since I had a project that I had been working on since last week, and I've sent the information hopefully they won't ask too many questions since I did the best I did with the limited amount of access to information.

Hopefully tomorrow I can find some time to sneak on over to Family Practice for them to take a look at my unhappy foot.

So I'm going stir crazy without being able to make cards. I have plenty to make as well! I have a total of 4 cards that I need to make for birthdays and such. I guess I could give some of the people something I already have but I do like to personalize them. Might be why it take me so long to make a card.

Well let me get in the craft room and see if I can get something figured out.

One More Thank You Notecard

I made this notecard just last night with my latest cartridge for Cricut. I must say it turned out pretty darn well considering I had no idea what I was going to do with it. But then I realized I hadn't finished my Thank You notecards to our university's SAMs group, so another one to send to them.

Twins!

One of my mom's co-workers/friend's daughter was blessed enough to have twin boys, a bit before their due date but both are doing fine and one is already home, which the other will be coming on Thursday. Congratulations Lindsey! Now someone is a Grandmother....whatever shall they call you?
