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!

0 More Paper Dolls


While we were in Rexburg after Christmas, my sister Maren & I made more Cricut paper dolls. I made a pair of boys to go with the three girls I made with my other sister, Abby, a few weeks ago. All the pieces are laminated & fixed with sticky-back velcro. I even made the clear plastic pouch to hold them. They are our CHURCH dollies.

I've had my cricut for just over a year & have LOVED it! BUT the warranty is just one year. I have been ill for weeks as my Cricut has been getting sicker & sicker. It started freezing up after our Nov/Dec Bear Lake Scrap Retreat (my Cricut's birthday). Then the power button started sticking. I called customer support when the issues started and we did a manual reset that seemed to help at first. They asked me several times it I still had my recite, but alas I don't. The last straw came when it started shifting the mat (that holds the paper) during cutting. Crooked cuts are worthless. So with a heavy heart, I called CS again last week. Again they asked about the recite. Without it, I was told they could fix it, but would charge parts & labor. Drat! But, then she said she would check with her supervisor. HOPE! I almost screamed when she came back to tell me they would make a "one-time exception" and a NEW CRICUT was on its way & to follow the directions to return the old one. YEAH!!!!! It came TODAY!!! I have nothing but praise to sing for Provo Craft. What a great company! If anyone is on the fence about purchasing a die cutting machine, this is the one to get! Well worth the $$$!!!!!
