The Big Bug is Here!

I ordered my Cricut Expressions this week, and I got the notice on my front door that it was tried to be delivered. The problem was that I wasn't home and they need my signature. So they left a notice that I could check the appropriate box and my signature and then they could leave it on my porch. There was another little issue - I was leaving for the weekend. So I got the secret phone number(don't ask) to call the local office, and managed to have the driver call me and meet me at designated place and time to get my new toy. The driver was probably thinking I was some crazy woman waiting for her late night TV infomercial purchase. But it is so warm in our house when I got home all I want to do sit under the ceiling fan and cool off. I will keep you posted.

Scrapbook Retreat Creation

This last weekend I attended a Scrapbook Retreat, and I had a great time! Thanks Deb & Jane you do such a wonderful job. It was so fun to see my friends, and this time my daughter was able to attend too. This is a first for her to attend a retreat and I was so glad for her to finally meet all my scrappy buddies. As always the time flew by, but I was able to manage to make my rounds to visit and make this beach scrapbook. I used a chipboard "beach" album and added some acrylic pages so I could add more pictures. This was an "out of the box" experience! I used paint on the edges and cut the acrylic to match the letters. So much fun and I learn so much too from these retreats. Can't wait until November!!!

I'm Here!!!

I am finally joined the ranks of having a blog! About the last 2 years many of my friends have a blogs and have been encouraging me to start a blog. But I haven't been able to really justify "why" ,"what in the world would I say" and finally "what would I name my blog" to have a blog. After a weekend with these friends and my daughter they where a bit consumed with getting a blog started for me with promises of helping me getting it named, and helping understand all the technical stuff. I am here to report that I'm Here!!
