Still Here!

I'm still here.  I've been doing scrapbook pages since Valentine's Day.  It feels so good to get back to my scrapbooks.  It's been awhile.  This weekend we are celebrating birthdays with friends.  We are doing four birthdays at once.  It should be alot of fun!  The hardest part we are having is trying to decide on what dessert. Birthday cake just won't do with this group...haha!

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Hope everyone has a wonderful February 14th!  I have been on a goodie bag kick lately.  I am just having so much fun making these things.  Below is a picture of one of the goodie bags I made for my daughter's class for their Valentine's Day party.  I'm already making plans for St. Patrick's Day goodie bags...hehe!

J's Birthday goodies

It was my daughter's birthday on Saturday so Friday she took these goodies bags to school for her class.  Her school does not allow edible birthday treats anymore due to allergies so we came up with mechanical pencils and a little notepad.  J said they were a big hit.  She said that her teacher was really impressed with the look of the goodie bag...I just love my cricut!!!

Now we are spending this week doing ones for Valentine's Day.  Her school is having their class parties on Friday, Feb 10th...Why??? Who knows!  So we will be busy in the evenings.  J helps for a little until she gets tired of putting together 27 cricut cut pieces.  She is my stamper though.  She does enjoy stamping the bags and putting the goodies in the bags.

I started this blog because I was wanted an area where I can share my craft ideas and my going ons of my family with other moms out there.  I've realized that my crafting time is not very rare it is just my documenting of my crafting is rare.  Not used to it I guess.  I was trying to think of the last time I actually sat down and did some crafting which seems like forever but really it was just a couple days ago. I don't need to sit at a table to craft...I was actually at my kitchen counter when I was making kolachkies for my family that i thought I craft all the time.  I just don't paper craft alot.  I love to bake and that to me is crafting also.  Here I was getting sad because I've been neglecting my cricut but actually I've been busy baking cookies, cakes, and goodies since new year's.  My son's birthday is in early January so I baked for him. And in Illinois the best time to bake is when it is freezing outside which is January and February.  My daughter's birthday is in early February so I'll be baking for her and then comes Valentine's day which I always make something special for the hubby.  So, I guess I have been busy...who would've guessed :)

2012 IS HERE!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
