The first day of school was approaching and I asked Dani if we should make something for her new teacher. I drew out my idea and Dani approved... We sat together as I explained the cricut and what we were doing and I let her hit the buttons. Shes five and she wants her own cricut. I figure Ill start her out with the Side Kick then go to the Cuttle Bug and then on to my Create.
Since Ive moved stuff around and the kids packed it up I dont know where things are. We are now in the new craft room that is now full and I still have 4 large bins to empty. Dani is my side kick in the craft room. I do miss her already and she started school yesterday. Back to the gift for the teacher, we made book marks. I used the George and basic shapes cartridge and the Doodle Charms cart. First we put an apple on the gypsy screen and then a rectangle from the George cart, welded them to gether and we had our shaped book mark.I hooked the gypsy to the E2 and prepared told Dani to hit the cut botton. I then stamped them using 2 sentiments from PBD. Jaysn and Dani got in a little tiff over the book marks and Jay said Dani took his. I then explained to him I had made several and that each of them had one to give their new teachers. When they came home from the first day of school the kids said that both their teachers loved the little gift.

Learning Something New : Computers
Today I sit at the Senior Center. I want to learn more about computers. Leo is the instructor and we went over some basics. >
I actually relearned how to do a few things I had totally forgotten. I find it funny that at 51 Im trying to get this old brain to take on more things to learn.
One of things I need to learn is how to add links in blogger. Leo showed me where to look to get help on topics about blogger. This is all new to me. So afer reading several topics I think I just may have figured it out.
I tried to go to photo bucket on the computer at the senior center. It must be blocked so posting a recent design will have to be done from my own computer. So I will briefly mention the stamp company I buy some of my sentiment stamps from, www.pinkbydesignstamps.com Im hoping this linked to their stamp site.) What I wanted to say about this company is that they make good quality stamps. The sentiments are great. Sarah and Kyle give excellent customer service and are very friendly people. They also have a Stamp of the Month club, that is reasonably priced. The background stamps are are my favorites and Sarah has recently added some image stamps. They also sell twine and crinkle ribbon. Can you tell Im a collector of PBD stamps?
Now if the link worked I will be thrilled and will thank Leo, if it didnt work: back to the drawing board. Hopefully I will come up with a list of questions each week and now I know someone who can help.
Till next time, Dawn RI

A Favorite Holiday: BOO!
The kids start school on Tuesday. All the haircuts are done, clothes shopping is finished, and supplies have been added to the kids back packs. In the news ,the East Coast had a earth quake yesterday and a hurricane is heading towards the US this weekend. This will be a week remembered,as summer goes out with a bang!
The kids havent a care in the world, neighbors pools have been dismantled. Outdoor furniture is put away. The kids are excited to start school,and sad that summer is comming to an end. They wonder why its getting dark earlier and still want to play outside. I told them that this is all the signs that Fall will be upon us soon. Hopefully we will have an Indian summer as the cold is not welcomed with smiles. I told them that Halloween is right around the corner, and the discussion changes and each are excited about who or what they want to be.
Today I want to share my first halloween card of the season. It is a simple card and elegant at the same time. I used Martha Stewart paper as the backgound, the chandlier is from the Summer In Paris cartridge. I then used Buttercup Liquid Pearls and applied it to the flames of the chandlier. The sentiment is from Pink By Design.
