What a nice surprise!

My super-crafty friend Debbie left this adorable thank you card and St. Patty's Day treat on my windshield this morning.  I crocheted sheep for her son's class so the thank you card was for those.  So cute!  It is taking much will power not to open up the St. Patty's Day treat because I know there is chocolate in there.  After lunch I will have to indulge.  Thanks Deb!



AC Moore/Joann Haul

I caught the shopping bug, so I ventured out to see what deals I could find.

Happy Valentine's Day!

For Valentine's Day, I found a bunch of cute crafts that I wanted to make. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and didn't get them all completed. Here are a few things that I did get done. A friend of mine has 2 girls, so it was nice to be able to make something for girls. Here are the treat boxes that I made for them. I lifted this idea off of one of the message boards and thought it was such a cute idea.

I made one for my son and he is on a sugar high! I also found this cute idea for and iPod made out of a box of conversation hearts, paper, string and Reese's.

To my surprise, when I walked in the door from work, these beautiful roses were there waiting for me from my husband. Besides the boys having basketball practice that night, Valentine's Day was very nice! TFL

Super Bowl Sunday

For Super Bowl Sunday we went to a party at some friend's house. They always have a wonderful spread so I didn't want to bring a dish. Instead I saw this cute idea on the Cricut Forum for pillow boxes with lollipops. I couldn't resist. I used the Gypsy to hide the bunny on the pillow box from the Easter cartridge. It was soooooo easy! I used an embossing folder to make the paper look like leather and twine to keep with the rustic look. They were a huge hit!

Kyle Turns 7

One of my friend Deb's 500 kids Kyle turned 7 last week. Here is the centerpiece I made for her party table and also the afghan I made for his gift. Turns out Kyle is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan and loved the colors I chose because they remind him of Cowboys colors!

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!
