Finished some Christmas cards

Well, I got 10 Christmas cards done. I suppose it kept my mind off my terribly sore throat for a little while.

So many crafts...So little time

Ok I have far too many craft projects going on at once. I need to start focusing on one at a time so I can get some finished.

There is the Christmas dress for Meggie, the hot chocolate cards, rag dolls, and a gigantic list of projects that I want to start. It's time to challenge myself to get some stuff finished.

I did get my "new" used Cricut Expression. My early Christmas gift from my husband. I love being able to do so much more with my Cricut.

I am making this school house die cut look like a gingerbread house. The mugs are for the hot chocolate cards.

Super Icky Winter Cold

It's official, I have the super icky winter cold virus that has hit Northeast Ohio.  Please God don't let me still be sick for Christmas.  Achey, winey, fevery, yucky mess.  Chills, cold toes, runny nose.....BLAH!!!!  Ok enough of the complaining for now, although I am very good at it. 

Trying to focus on projects to get my mind off from feeling yucky, but not feeling the best to work on the projects.  Catch 22. 

Was checking out cricutmachine.com and found out that you can actually make your own clear stamps with your Cricut!!! Who knew!?!?!?  Seriously, at some point, when I have some extra money, I really want to try this.  I guess you can cut out this clear plastic sheeting and stick it on your acrilic stamping blocks with any die cut image you have. 

I got a new cartridge in the mail today that I ordered from Joann Online during a super great sale.  It's the 2007 Best of Cricut cartridge.  It has some super cute paper doll images that I definitely want to try, but the one that caught my eye was the hot chocolate cup image.  I want to make some hot chocolate cards that I can stick a packet of hot chocolate in.  I thought that this would be a cute and fun crating project for Christmas. 

Working on some last minute cards and gifts. Not feeling the best. Trying to push through it.

My friend Yvonne gave me these great scented pine cones for my birthday. I used some of them to make this great wreath for our front door. Pretty happy with how it turned out.

I made this dress out of my old pair of pajama pants that had torn. The pink lace at the bottom was at the bottom of the pant leg. Turned out cute.
