Why do I Blog?

Life is so fast & furious with 3 young children, working from home, ect that I fear I will forget the lovely details of my girls' precious childhood.

My main motivation for blogging is to capture the every day moments...so I don't forget them before I have a chance to scrapbook. Sharing with you is just an added bonus. Keeping this blog has helped me get the photos off my camera's memory card and label/organize them on my laptop. It is the BEST tool I have for scrapbooking. I haven't ever been able to keep a journal, but this I can do. I don't pretend to have anything interesting to say. In fact I'm sure this little blog is boring to you, but to me it is priceless!

3 Grades are in...time to play, FINALLY!

I L-O-V-E my Cricut!

I saved up & got it for my birthday last year & haven't regretted it one bit. If you're in the dark, it is a machine that cuts out letters and shapes. You can buy all sorts of font or shape cartridges for scrapbooking, cardmaking, ect. Check out the webpage for more info.

I pre-ordered the coolest cartridge about 3 months ago:
"Paper Doll Dress-Up"
& it came a week ago, but I didn't let myself open it till tonight...after I got all my final grades enter for the USU Stat 1040 class I've been teaching. It took a great deal of self-control, the fact that I waited so long impresses myself! Way to go me!


So tonight Allie & I made 3 little dollies. They aren't very impressive, but it was fun.
What do you think?

I can see that this cartridge is going to be one of my favorites! It has so many extras. I'm hoping to make a set & laminate them for Allie to play with. I might have to wait till after Christmas.
