Well my Scrapping place has kind of changed again, well not really changed, just haven't been doing the Digi scrapping much any more on occasion I will. I have just been working with Different kinds of scraps now.
  Sewing scraps, Wood scraps, paper scraps, dishes scraps and many other types of scraps. So not that I am able to change the name I like it, I will just change what I am going to be showing you.  Hopefully I will have some pictures to show you soon.

Brand New School Year

Brand new school year, time has flown since I have been here, trying to create, will try and come by more often.

Hi Everyone and Happy New Year

Life has been extreamely busy this year with school and broken bones and being sick, hopefully that is all a thing of the past.
One new thing that I have Enjoyed quite a bit, is a Job change. I have worked with a blind student for the last 7 years. I still work with him Mon and Tues Mornings, but after that I am at the Cardinal House, it is a place where our Special Ed kids (highschool age) go and learn different tasks. 3 weeks ago they called me and asked if I could sub for them on a friday I said sure, later on that day, Dr. Wells, the gal that is in charge there said, do you know you are supposed to be back on Monday too? Well I did not. Then Monday she told me that I was going to be there permantly from then on. Its like OH? (One thing she was trying to do is make sure that I still had a job) as I am only very part time working with my blind student. I Love it at Cardinal House though I do miss the others that I worked with, I still see them occasionaly. And I love the gals that I work with now too. The kids do several different things depending on their abillitys, some of them are working on making Doggy Biscuits, some of them do beaded jewelry, some of them are working in the back where we have the wood shop and are making cedar flower pots. I have been working with some making cards. That is where my talent falls in, currently, though I have been learning the flower pots too. I am learning the Make the Cut software but am currently frustrated with it at school I cant get the thing to work. I probably have not done the firmware update which is probably all it needs though I am not sure.
Ok, well I am rambling. I will get things figured out and I will get back to cutting and designing here soon.
Hugs and God Bless

My ankle is healed

Hi everyone, it has been forever since I have been here and I am sorry for that. Having a broken ankle and a sore arm, shoulder, hip and knee all on the same side, does not leave much time for crafting. I have soooo much that I want to get done this week, but a person can only do so much. What has me in the biggest fix, is that I dont get paid till the 22nd. So I have not been out shopping at all and it is all left till than. Thank God that this is a 5 week paycheck instead of just a 4 weeker.

I have lots of freebies that I want to share with you all that I have been working on, but until today have not been able to share because I just found my book with all my passwords and such in and I couldnt get to 4 shared or even here to post with out them. talking about misplacing things. hmm. So I will find them, get pictures of them and upload them as soon as possible so that you still might be able to use some of them.

Hugs and God Bless

Ps... Facebook and Farmville are very addicting so if you want to get any crafting done stay away from there. lol.

Christmas is coming ...

Hi Everyone, alittle over a week-ago I posted on the Cricutlovers group for someone to help me with a tag that I had made using my Design Studio and Plantin cartridge, and due to an unfortunate accident (I broke my tibia bone in my ankle and have been home bound, upstairs bound, no stairs in other words for about 4-6 weeks. ) Any how, I had one of those 4 in the morning, gotta make it creative spurts and I made a cut file for a Christmas tag, but since my DS was upstairs on my computer, that my Wonderful hubby brought upstairs for me so that I would not be bored, and my Cricut which was downstairs (wouldn't fit on my table with my computer) I could not cut it. I got 2 Wonderful ladies saying that they would give it a shot. I gave them what I was invisioning, and the cut file and let them know that they could cut it to their vision once they saw the cut file. The first gal, Cathy Smith, for some reason could not open the file. Said something about the time and date not being valid. (I remember this being discussed on the group but I dont remember what the fix was, so unfortunately I could not help her with that. But I thank her very much for trying. Huge Hugs going her way.

Another Great gal did also reply and her name is Deanna Mulder. She was able to open up the file. Even though she did not cut it in the colors that I had imagined, she did cut it in the way that she saw it when she saw the cut file. And I am so VERY Glad that she did. Because I would never have thought of it. I will be sending her a little gift of appreciation when I am able to get it finished and mailed to her. This was a First for both of us. She told me that she doesn't normally cut other peoples cuts, and it was a First for me too, as I dont usually ask for help. But I wanted to see it cut so bad. :o) and she did a Beautiful job. Proud is not really the word that I am looking for it works though, and very Thankful as well for her stepping up and doing this for me when I couldn't. So Thank You Deanna I don't know how to say it enough. I love the job you did. Of course the picture is above, I love it too.

Oh and of course you may want to take alook at some of the other work that Deanna does she has a Wonderful Blog and you can find it Here

You may find the Cut File Here with the wonderful tag cut by Deanna.

Thanks so much Deanna.

Hugs and God Bless

My In-Laws 50th Wedding Anniversary is... and a .Cut file share

9-9-09 and this is the card that I made for them. Though this is not the Exact card even though it is made out of the same papers and everything. I had to show you the picture so I made another one. Now I just need to keep it nice until next year and I can give this one to my own parents, as it is there 50th Wedding Anniversary next year. I love how it turned out, and it turned out Right the first time. Which Almost Never happens for me. So I was quite happy with myself.
I have been so busy with work/school lately and keeping my daughter on track that I have not been able to come this way hardly at all as I am just collapsing by the time I get home from work. I have been losing weight as the food that we get to eat is Very healthy for a change and I am Constantly on the go. Which is why I am crashing then when I get home. But I am having fun this year and it is a great group of people to work with and the Kids or I should say Students are great too to work with.
I am also sharing the file with you, hope some of you might be able to use it.
Here is the link.
Happy Cricut-ing...
Hugs and God Bless

I am Back from Vacation

My vacation was a Blast, went to Northern Minnesota and spent time with my cousins and one of my sisters at my cousins familys cabins on Cotton Lake, near Detroit Lakes MN. It was cold and rained alot, but we did get in alot of Relaxing time in, and Fun time. Oh and one of the Best parts is that it was Only us Girls.
My daughter caught herself a Fish, a Sunny, so I am in the process of making her a Fish Board book, and I will post when it is done.
I am also in the process of making some Boxes and Bag toppers and will get those uploaded when I figure them out.
Oh and I am back to work/school again now so wont be around as much as I was all summer but will post when I can.
Hugs and God Bless
