Oh how I have missed my blog!

I'm slowly getting back to my blog.  I have missed it terribly.  Our family has been so busy that I just have not had any opportunity to get to my blog.  Surprisingly though I have been crafting.  I have a number of projects I've completed and I have pictures of (that's amazing since I always forget). I just have to upload those pictures on to my computer.  I have been making a lot of cards lately - lots of birthday parties.  And graduations are coming up so this week I have a couple of graduation cards to make.

But first I have to vacuum my house.  The dog's hair is everywhere.  I think I can make another dog out of all the hair he has lost and I have barely been home to pull out the vacuum.  I have this week off from the sports so it is catch up week around the house.

Party Pak Basket

I have my basket put together for J's team fundraiser this weekend.  We went with a Margarita/Corona & glasses basket.  After I put the basket all together I realized I never took a picture of the glasses I etched. UGH!!!

I'm hoping you can somewhat see them.  I took two margarita glasses and two beer glasses and etched them with the word "Twisters".  I used the Plantin Schoolbook cartridge on my Cricut, black vinyl that I purchased from ExpressionsVinyl.com, and Armor Etch.  I did the letters at 1.25 inches.



The margarita glasses are on the end with the beer glases in the midde.

 I originally was going to use purple vinyl to decorate the margarita glasses but my husband really wanted them etched.  He is really enjoying that etched look.  Here's a picture of the entire basket...

It contains one Margarita mix, twelve bottles of Corona, two Margarita glasses, and two beer glasses.  I might have to buy raffle tickets and try to win my basket back. :)

Oh no...nose is broke!

Update on what's been going on in our house...As most know I have two kids that are very sport active.  MJ (my son) went to baseball tryouts at school monday night and thirty minutes into the tryout he lost sight of the ball and was hit in the face.  Blood everywhere.  Dad and I got the call and headed to the school to pick him up and take him to the hospital.  Needless to say the nose is broken.  He is doing really good.  Just looks like he was in a nasty fist fight.  He has a doctor's appointment today with an ENT where we will find out if it healing straight or if they have to "set" it.  On a good note...he made the baseball team!

We had a good weekend celebrating birthdays.  Our friends came over and we had a great dinner and jumbo cinnamon rolls for dessert.  YUMMY!!!  And of course put a candle in the rolls and sang happy birthday to everyone.

I haven't hit the craft table this week with everything going on but this weekend I will be etching beer glasses and using vinyl on margarita glasses.  J's (my daughter) softball team is doing a fundraiser and I am putting together a basket for the raffle.  I am going to etch the beer glasses with her team name and since margarita glasses have less space on them for etching I think I am going to use vinyl on those.  I'll take a pix when they are done.

That's it for now.  Hope everyone has a great weekend!

My apologies...

I am so sorry if I am following your blog again.  I changed my email address on my blog which apparantly is a big no-no in the blogger world.  Then I went and deactivated the old address and lost everything...UGH!  I can log into my blog and do posts but I lost everyone that I was following.  So I am starting over again and you will see my beautiful Scrooge McDuck (and who wouldn't want a money bin!!!) pix again. 

Just testing

Okay, so I am working on changing some things to my blog and I am having some difficulty to it.  Didn't think it would be that hard to change email addresses but I guess it is.  So I apologize if anyone gets odd messages from me :)
