wahoo!!!

I always say, nah, you won't win and so I don't play some of the challenges from the blogs I follow. Well! I did this one and WON!!! I can't wait to go shopping at Custom Crops!

progress is slow

I'm a bit early with the progress picture,but I definately see alot more of a log now. Here's the original post. I never did say how big this is,but approx 14 X 11 when all finished. He has a shadow border all the way around him that will be the last to do.
I've got a few little recycle notebooks I'm working on and will post a picture of them finished in a day or two. I've been busy these days with gathering,purchasing and packing things for the oldest, she's got her own new apt for Feb 1 ! She wanted to be out of the house by the time she turned 30 and that will be in October. She's very excited and I am too for her :) It's a great little place. I hope it all works out for her :) Will definately miss her and her father yelling at the TV during sports games! although she did say she'd be here to do laundry which might coincide with games ..LOL
ok, off to play before the AFC game and Bruins Hockey game at 3pm.

1st significant White Stuff

we got our 1st significant snow today. It started around 7am and just stopped at 3:45 - 4 pm. It's the light fluffy stuff and there is about 4-4 1/2 inches worth.
The dogs HATE wearing coats,although Derb is way worse then B. I went out at about 10:30am to bring Alison to the train station for her 1pm Bruins game and the roads were horrible! Her car did NOT want to make our little hill when I was coming home. I did stop at the store to pick up stuff for a Carrot Ginger soup she wants to try.(not making till sunday maybe)
anyhow, played with cricut for some dolphins to etch on some glasses Ashton got for Matt and cut some scrap recycle paper to make some little notebooks.
Have a good night all :)

Say Cheese

Ashton got a new I Phone 4 for Christmas this year. Now she looks just like her sister,looking down and texting and surfing away. She and Matt discovered the camera feature too :)

this little guy is from create a critter cut at about 3”. I gypsy welded a rectangle with the camera layer to make a mat for the picture, a 4x6 size. I added a bit of glossy accents to the mouse’s eyes and nose.The papers are from my stash.

finished size: 12 x 12 scrapbook page :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

it's officially new years day and I am hoping this post will keep me going for one of my resolutions this year. Normally I don't bother making any as things always distract me from following through; maybe that should be one..hmmm follow through. Well, anyhow. I started this cross stitch project near 25 or more years ago. My stitching phase took a back seat when I started in on scrapping and card making with the cricut, so that's about 7 years now maybe.My goal is to try and get him finished by the end of this year. I do have a large amount of him done, so I think that is a reasonable goal.A few hrs every other day or more and it should work. I started in on him on 12/28 to get the juices going :)
I'll try and post a progress picture every month :)

the other resolution I have is to make at least 2 projects form every cricut and imagine cartridge I own.. over 93 as of today!
off to the craft lair I go :)
