Cricut Circle.

I'm pretty excited that my husband gave me the ok to join the Cricut Circle! I am SO excited to see what this is all about and receive my first package! I joined because i'm all about the exclusive carts and I hate feeling left out. lol. Lets face it. Its probably gonna be awesome and if I didn't join I would really regret it. :) So this is the screen I get when I click on the circle:

Mickey Mouse Layout

I got this idea and sort of "Scrap-lifted" but added my own little twist to it. I haven't really used much of my Stikkles but I think they added a nice finishing touch to it. :)

Julianne.

My husband put together our daughter's cute Exercauser tonight (we got it yesterday) and I am amazed at how much she loves it! I'd explain more but pictures are worth a thousand words. :))

Birthday Weekend

I had the most amazing birthday weekend! Luckily, I got to have dinner with some great people and spent my actual birthday at Six Flags with my husband. All in all, a GREAT way to celebrate. BRING ON 24!! :)

Cartridge overhaul!! =)

Yay! I got my awesome gift from my husband today and it was the Ultimate Disney Cricut Cartridge Bundle!! I'm sooooooo excited to start cutting! ;)

Day 1 South Beach Diet and other stuff.

After losing 20 pounds in roughly around 2-3 months, I have hit a plateau. I would have liked that if I was going to hit one, that it wouldn't have actually started until I was somewhere in the 130's but hey, this is just one more hurdle I have to overcome. After seeing how successful my mother and father in law are with South Beach Diet I have decided to give it a try.Today was day 1 and let me tell you, I'm pretty impressed! I am a HUGE carnivore, so the fact that I can eat as much protein as I want (atleast until i'm full and no more) is amazing because I didn't think that was ever possible. Now, obviously me baking cookies from scratch on my first day was probably not the smartest idea but I managed to actually stay away from them and the spoon! ;) I will continue updating with my progress.

Homemade gift.

Growing up I always loved it when my friends' moms would get all crafty and they would come to school with homemade tote bags or custom made bows. Actually, one of the fondest memories in elementary school that I have is when my friend's mom made all of us girls custom totes with our names and a handsewn bear. I absolutely adored it. I didn't get to grow up watching my own "mother" sew or bake so I decided to take matters into my own hands and just learn.

I'm not great at showing appreciation (I know, that needs to change and i'm working on it!) so I was thinking of what I could give the boys' teacher a a token of my thanks. I decided to give her a decorated jar with homemade chocolate chip cookies that my family loves. For my first project, I am pretty proud of myself. I'm lovin finding new things to do with my Cricut machine and Gypsy! I'm addicted again! =)
