Here is what Nilda the owner of the Gypsy Spot has to say:

Yes we are giving away a Gypsy here at The Gypsy Spot. I want to thank Custom Crops for donating a brand new Gypsy (retail value 299.99)..wow. I cant say enough about everyone at Custom Crops. Everyone is always so supportive and helpful. If you have never shopped at their store, you really should give them a visit. Not only will you find everything you need for scrapbooking or card making, but also some wonderful articles for fantastic projects. They also have a Youtube channel where you can enjoy some wonderful videos for awesome projects. There is even new video for husbands or loved ones to guide them with holiday shopping... what an awesome idea.

School Basket

This is a basket I made for our organization fundraiser on friday. I will do them in colors of red, blue and yellows. Each table will have its own theme.



I used the Locker Talk cartridge for this. All the shred, baskets and the wire were fromt he dollar store.

Thinking...

Soooo I have been thinking about joining Girl Scouts as a leader. I think it would be fun but that I also could teacher the teenagers positive choices.

I have also been thinking about giving up scrapbooking. Lack of money and time would be the factor to give it up. I love what I do and it is relaxing but it cost a boat load of money. Maybe till I graduate and get a job then I could pick it up again.

So it begins.....

Classes has started and it is going to be a fun semester. I have one more class I haven't been to yet but I am excited about it. As some ya'll know I want to be an educator. Well I started a blog for that. Right now i will only leave it open to my fellow classmates to follow since it is a homework site as well. But it is so darn cute. Well thats that and class is over. Have fun ya'll

I have met two really truly wonderful ladies, I feel truly blessed to have them in my life. I have also met some wonderful women on the cricut messageboard. This year has been a blessed one. I am happy to have another year of life not just for me but for my son. I love waking up in the morning to him taping me to get up.

My latest Creations

Havent posted in a long time. Kinda missed posting. Here are two projects that I have completed in the past couple of weeks. I will add more later. TFL

This is for a A-Z and months of the year Roledex Swap. I did four spots. When I started them I was like OMFG what did I get into. But they turned out great and I cant wait to receive them back. I did from left to right on the top row:
April~ april showers bring....
the letter U (as my son say the letter me)~ umbrella
The letter K~ Kite
November~ with a turkey



I used stickles for the rain and the kite string. The kite is a diamond from george, the bowtie from the wedding cart, the umbrella from the wildcard and the turkey from doodlecharms.


These are the tags from my tag swap. I angeled five spots. I had veterans day (because i am a vet ya'll), mothers day, fathers day and boy and girl baby.




I use the rounded square shape from george. I had some ribbon left over from another project. The mothers and fathers day and the cloud is heat embossed. The roses are from walk in my garden bordered. The rattle and boat are from New Arival, the car is from Cars, the gears from Indie Art.

Playing Catchup

Okay so I havent Posted my creations in sooo long. I think I will do it in one post.
Nothing special just a whole lot of pictures.
