My Birthday Gift!

I received enough money this year to get the Gypsy! Wow this thing is so Assume!! I could have used it this weekend with all the cards that I had to make. I am so excited to use it, I am still trying to learn how to use it and all the feathers it has. Some time back I was thinking about getting the Juke Box but man I am glad that I didn’t this little Gypsy will hold all of my Cartridges in it so I don’t have to keep changed out the cartridges or have to get the Juke Box. If you already have the Cricut or you’re asking Santa to get it skip out on the s software and just get the Gypsy! It’s replaces the software just about I have not learned yet nor know if I can transfer my files over to the Gypsy from the software. Does any one know of some places were I can get some help on how to use this thing? The Website Video’s don’t work as good as YouTube for some reason.

Sew Crafty Mini Sewing Machine

These little sewing Machines are really neat. My mom found two of them packed away at her house. I have been playing around with them just to see how they work and all. For some reason some one put Bad on the bottom of one but I have been reading the reviews on this item and found that maybe it was just a Human Error to why they may have thought the one was bad. You just have to read the instructions, do not pull or push the paper let the machine do it. The both of them sew perfect, and when it feels like it wants to jump check the tension, or maybe it's because the paper is to tight, so put another layer on the bottom. I have not quite decided what I will do with the other one. Been thinking maybe giving it away for either Member Rewards on Scrappers Delight but I have not quite decided. When the time is right I will know in the meantime I will be enjoying playing with one of these little sewing machines.

Easter gifts!!

Well, I guess no one is too old to get Easter presents. This weekend I got these cool tools that some of them I don’t even know how to work just yet. Ok ladies I need some help here; I can’t exactly figure out these Cutter Bee Bugs work, does anyone have any suggestions? Also I received these little ink pads that do embossing and the powder but it looks like the Easter bunny left out the embossing tool. My husband thought that he had one here and he does we just can’t find it right now. So any suggestions on what I can use temporary? I thought about a blow dryer but I have not had the chance to try it just yet. So do you think that could work if not then where can I get a nice one for rather cheap and not to expansive I don’t know if I am going to like this? The pages in the back ground are Penelope’s Birthday page. It’s actually 4 pages there are 2 clear pages like transparently over the blue poc-a-doted paper. I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter I will close with some pictures of Penelope’s easter. Enjoy she did!!

Thank you gift!!

In February I received a package from a friend in my Flickr group, as a thank you for all I do for the group. She had sent me all these wonderful things along with this card. I have been trying to think of a way to thank her. She didn’t have to do this and I have enjoyed coming up with some ideas of what I will use some of these things for. Although I have not had the chance to use a lot of these just yet I plain on using them as soon as the perfect thought comes to mind. So as a thank you I will be sending her this:

I am sending her a Betty Boop Stamp that I no longer use. I got it some time ago so I don’t even know if you can get this stamp anymore. I also found this little owl that I just really thought was to cute and I purchased 3 of them one for her one for me and one I can’t tell you yet what I will do with it. Then I found these little note cards that I though she may enjoy doing something with, and 5 little hair bows for her 5 little fur friends. I also found this felt, I had seen Neall Hyman on Paperclipping us it before on her iTunes Podcast. She really made them look very nice. I thought she would like to play around with it and see what she could come up with. She will be getting 4 ½ years of this. Oh yeah and a die cut that I made of the Bird with Leaves this is from Sizzix.

Wabcom Bamboo & Adobe Elements 6

Since I got this new computer with Vista a lot of my creative design element programs don’t convert over. I even had my husband look at it to make sure I was doing it right and it was not just me. I have had these programs since 1998 it was time to upgrade. I use to us Adobe PhotoDeluxe 1.0, yes that is an old one but I liked it very much. Know I have jumped all the way to Adobe Elements 6 and I’m like wow what a deferent’s. I need help I don’t know how to work it very well any suggestions on where I can go to learn? I’m open for ideas I have looked on You Tube and that does have helpful information but I need more maybe even like how Apple has the classes on how to work things. I would not mind that, if you have ideas let me know I would like to hear how you like your Bamboo if you have one and how you learned about the Adobe solfware other then just playing around with it. I got mine for Graphic Design purposes since I make logos for customers.

My New TOY!!!

So I guess good things come to thoughts that wait is true!! My family truly didn’t really forget about my birthday due to the unfortunate events that happened on my birthday. Friday I received my Birthday check form work Finally and then today I went to my mother in laws house there 2 other birthday items where waiting for me. They were in small envelopes. So when I opened them there was Money inside. Know I didn’t know that my husband had been spreading the roomer around that I wanted a Cricut the amount of money that I received from the gifts I was able to get the Cricut Expression for $199.00 at Wal-Mart!! I was so excited, although we did have to go to one Walmart to the next to find it but I have to say that a Nice lady at the Michael’s tipped me off to the savings at Wal-Mart. I was just about to get the Cricut Create Machine when she told me to go to Wal-Mart!! Thanks so much if you ever read this!! I just need to learn how to use this thing know.

So today is my birthday and what a wild ride life has through to me today!!! It so has been one of the most scariest day’s of my life I think, and not because I’m getting older either. I hope that when I get the opportunity to kick back and chill out I can and maybe make something fun with these cool little stickers. I love the pop up flower stickers that she got for me and I think they will work really pretty with that paper I found. I hope that maybe I will be lucky again to find another page of that same paper. Anyway if your reading this Vicky THANK YOU I SO LOVE MY GIFT!!!
