These are the 2 I finished in my book of Torrie on Easter this year. She is getting to be such a big girl!

The page on the left has the pattern 12×12 paper for the background. Then I ran a piece of ribbon across the middle of the page on top of the mat I put center on the page. I then added the 2 pictures. Then just a Cricut cut flower and some foam Easter stickers.  Read more... (138 words, 2 images, estimated 33 secs reading time)

Some herbs in the containers she bought me for Christmas this year. Now we just have to wait for them to grow and bloom. This is one of the Lilies we planted Yesterday. It opened this morning. Soooo pretty. Matt has been working on cleaning the pool. Hopefully next week around the middle it will be warm outside and ready to get in. Torrie is excited. She said “Papa when the water turns blue we can get in right?” He said “yes Peanut” She said “YEAH!!” She is so funny.  I have been trying to keep up with the house work to but you have to want to do it to get it done LOL!

So I placed one of my Pre made scrapbook albums on Rileyyardsales.com a local Ft. Riley yard sale website. I have had a lot of lookers so far no sale yet. I think I am going to put some of my Crafts on there too see how they do. My Angels and Mr. and Mrs Claus just may sell. Fingers crossed. I have to start somewhere right? I am going to have a yard sale in a couple weeks and I will advertise on their site also. I will have some of my Crafts and Scrapbooks in the yard sale too. I am thinking about putting together some really pretty 8×8 albums to sell too. I will post pictures of them when I get them done and let you know how it goes. Here is a sample of the album and the crafts I am trying to sell.

Sorry for being MIA again for a bit but we moved my office whew! downstairs and it took a bit to get everything back up and running. So again I apoligize. I have not done any scrapbooking lately it has been crazy I have been sick off and on for the past 4 weeks and so has my girlfriend. Hoping the nice Spring weather gets rid of the germs and viruses soon!!! I hope everyone had a good Easter ours was fun. We took Torrie to an Easter egg hunt and she got lots of eggs and won a new bike in the drawing so it was really fun for her. I have the pictures of her dressed up for Easter and of her on her bike for the first time on here also Enjoy!!! Great scrapbooking pages for sure when I do get to go over and do it. Well you should see me more now since my office is downstairs with me babysitting it is just easier since the kids are down here.

I am looking forward to a Crafts Show in Ogden, KS at the Community Center on March 27th. I am going to try and get a booth so I can take my crafts and scrapbooks up there and try to sell them. I have been told by several people that the pictures don’t do the things I make justice. SOOOO I am going to give that a shot. If you are local come stop by and check out my goods. If not I will be sorry I missed you. I will give you the times and date again later and let you know how it goes afterwards. Here are some of my crafts I make. Angels, witches, Carolers, snowmen and Mr. and Mrs Claus.

So I went to my girlfriends last night with my other friend and we spent the night til the wee hours cutting pretty stuff out on the Cricuts. I have the first one the smaller one and she has the Cricut Expresssion. Mine cuts 12×6 and hers cuts 12×12. I love the Cricut with the cartridges you can cut so many things for pages ahead of time to add to the pages and to make tags and frames for the pages. She has probably 8 cartridges and I only have 3 so using hers is just a bonus. I cut out die-cuts for the Christmas pages I am going to start working on. One of the cartridges she has cuts Santas, Sleighs, Reindeers you get the idea. I highly recommend the Cricut for your scrapbooking needs and pleasure as a matter of fact it’s great and money saving when it comes down to buying die-cuts and stickers for your albums. And we just keep checking around in the stores and on line to find the cartridges on sale and paper. So you do indeed save money. Here is another of my favorite pictures from Christmas this is my Granddaughter and our other dog Chrissy, she is Husky and Akita mix. Such a Teddy bear. LOL!  Read more...
