And so it begins....

Apparently Halloween really does mark the start of the Christmas season. I was out to my local big box craft stores and POOF all their Christmas stuff was out. Before now, I could find very few Christmas scrapbook things in my local stores (though there is a ton of it online). Today there were tons of paper packs and punches and all kinds of other goodies. Of course I bought some things so...

Tomorrow I am going to put together all the projects I have underway and get everything pulled together so I can finish them. I have several word books underway, a wedding scrapbook album, Christmas cards, two trips to Disney World, blah blah blah. SO much to do and so little time. I really need to finish this stuff before I get another bright idea to start something else.

Back home and making cards!

Back from my trip to Disney and working on making Christmas cards. It was a quick trip for Halloween but we had a good time. It was chilly, though. Stayed at Animal Kingdom Villas. Absolutely beautiful.

So, I have been playing with my Gypsy (took it with me - great for plane flights). I am going to post a .cut file I made of a word book (once I can figure out how to do that). I made it with Design Studio. I have done several word books with the Gypsy and each time I figure out a better way to do it so I can do them pretty quickly now. Unfortunately, I can't post any Gypsy files until Provocraft delivers that functionality.

Enjoy.

6 days until Disney!

In 6 days I leave for Orlando with my kids to visit Disney World all decked out for Halloween! I have been collecting Halloween themed Disney embelishments but hope I can find something when I am down there. We are going to Mickey's party and have costumes to wear. I hope it isn't stifling hot while we are there. Taking my friend Gypsy with me - I need to give her a better name.

Do you like my new blog?

OK, this is going to be tough for me - I spent all day playing around with templates for this blog. So many choices, I will have to stop myself from changing what it looks like all the time. It is fun though and provides another opportunity to be creative and spend hours of time...

Slowly but surely...

I am figuring this out. I found a super cute image on the Cricut boards for "I Love my Gypsy" and I was able to add it to my blog. I am so excited.

I have been playing with my Gypsy. I created a LOVE word book last night while watching football and will try to cut it today. It is very easy once you get the hang of it. I still have to look at the manual to figure out some of the buttons.
