I Got a CRICUT!

I sure did not expect to receive a Cricut for my birthday, but I am so thankful that my DH got it for me. It has made so many of my spare moments very enjoyable.  I can sit and play with it for hours.  Both of my sisters, Mom and Aunt all have one now.  We haven't planned a Cricut weekend getaway, but as soon as it's warm again, that will be in the works! :)  Below are some things that have been created with the help of my Cricut.

This is a card I made for the little girl we sponsor in the Philippines through World Vision.  We have not had the privilege of meeting her yet, but I enjoy sending and receiving cards and letters.  As you can see, her name is Fatima- beautiful name for a beautiful girl.

This next card is for a little boy named Caine.  He was a young man in my class that just stole my heart.  Due to some unfortunate circumstances he has moved to Illinois.  I try to send him a card when I get a chance.  It is sometimes painful to think of him.  I think of him often and pray that his little life is happy.



These pics are of my son CLS.  He has the most precious fiancee in the world- KDR.  They have been together since they were 16 and they are now 21.  I will have to make another post for the two of them.



Post-It Note Holders

Many of you have seen these Post-It Note holders on various blogs.  I think they are a great little gift.  I made some for the teachers I worked with in Summer School.  I love using what I make for presents.

This set was for my friend Dawn.  She absolutely loves the beach and the color yellow! I got the idea for the bag at Inking Idaho.  She has a tutorial available for making this bag.  I have made many of these bags.  I even taught my sister and her friend how to make them.  They are easy but look complicated.  The little item on the right is a post it note holder as well. Once Dawn received this, she made several of her own to give for Christmas presents.
