Guest Designer Call, I need your vote, and blog candy!

Good Morning,

WIth school starting I have had a lot less time on my blog.  :(  Once the fall passes I hope to have some more time and I am sure I will.  However, September is a tiring month for sure!

So many people have submitted to show and tell and I am so impressed by the projects.  I am looking for some people who would like to guest design.  I want to make sure my blog stays active and that would be a huge help.  If you are interested please email me and send me a link to your blog!!!

Also, can you vote for me?!  Cricut is doing a classroom challenge.  I submitted a bulletin board I did in the spring.  Can you pop over and check it out?  If you like it will you vote for it?!  Click here to vote.

Also, we are at 300 followers!  I promised a give away when we hit that.  So, do you want in?!  Leave a comment here with a comment about your favorite project on this blog.

Thanks again for your support!!!!

A new blog

So, I have decided to start myself a sister blog.  This blog is about the joys of parenting ;) and my everyday stuff that probably nobody really wants to read!

I am challenging myself to a 30 Day Shed....  Shedding weight and stuff I don't need.  Come on over and check it out and join me!  Click here!

Celebrate the Occasion

This card is Cricut-less I am still without my Gypsy :(

Celebrate the Occasion is challenging you to create a birthday project this week that must have a balloon on it.  I found these metal pieces at Big Lots!  I love them and they had adhesive already on them!

Hop over to CTO and link up your project!!!

Thanks for visiting!

Now on to my state and my project....

New Hampshire is one of the states I am sharing with you.

New Hampshire is one of our favorite places.  We own a couple of timeshare weeks there and camp there as often as possible.  We would move there if the right opportunity ever came up ;).  New Hampshire is beautiful.  The mountains are humbling and the scenery is breathtaking.  We love to drive the Kangamangus Highway and just take in the view.  The fall is one of the best times to visit.  The leaves and foliage are awesome.  My project is inspired by the colors of fall and the beauty of the leaves.  I have chosen fall colors and a leaf punch from EK Success.

Now you can hop to the NEXT STATE IN THE UNION, Virginia!!  Remember to leave a comment on each state to be eligible for the GRAND PRIZE!!

Birthday Card

There are a lot of buttons on a Cricut!  A lot of buttons I don't use.  Then my GYPSY BROKE!!!!  Seriously, I use that thing daily and it BROKE!  I didn't cry, scream, or go into a total meltdown which is amazing in itself.  So, now I will need to dig all of my cartridges out of storage boxes :(.  One would think that should be easy... yeah not the way I "store" things.  Basically crud gets thrown into millions of boxes and it is anyone's guess what is where.  So, this week I have a Cricutless card for you.  Later this week I will show you the gift I created that went with it.

I am entering this into Birthday Sundaes. Stampin Sisters in Christ- nothing bright,
Alphanet Challenge- pastels (flowers)
