Love to Crochet!






I love to crochet. It keeps me occupied when I am watching TV. Here are a few of the items that I crocheted last year. I really enjoy making gifts for friends and hope they enjoy them as much as I do. Thanks for looking!




Happy Birthday Mady Moo!







Our friends Deb and Ed's youngest Mady turned 1 on June 8th so for her birthday party, I made this paper cake using Tags Bags Boxes & More. If you don't already have this cartridge, get it before they are all gone. Cricut is retiring it. I made the tag using Accent Essentials. The text was done using my old Journaling Genie software that I had forgotten all about. I love the color scheme Deb used for the party!

Retirement Party



I have been hard at work the past few days trying to create a few requested decorations for a teacher's retirement dinner. The them is "journey" for the journey they are about to embark on. They wanted the centerpieces to be a compass so I created this paper compass. Instead of the normal North South East & West, the tabs say Read a Book, Go on a Cruise, Volunteer, Visit Old Friends, Learn a New Skill, Set Off for a New Adventure, Pursue Your Passions & Take a Nap. I also created more sour cream containers with a travel paper that I just love. The tag says Best Wishes for Your Retirement. There is also going to be a joint dinner with the Science and Art teachers so I also threw in these frogs with artist brush and pallette which I created with Create a Critter and Locker Talk.
