Bit the Bullet...

 I need more scrapbooking items like I need a whole in my head.... But, this I couldn't pass up! I have been looking at the Cameo forever, but had a hard time justifying it with having all my Cricut goodies. But, the flexibility of the Cameo has been calling my name:) So, at Overstock as of today, 11/29/12, they have the  Silhouette Cameo Mega Bundle for $229. Then I found a coupon code here that got me another $20 off, plus free shipping! For $200, I was ready to take the plunge, as soon as I give back my leftover Vegas money to the hubby;)

Thankful

Although this is one of the toughest years I have had in a long time, it has made me more grateful for all that I do have. But, let me tell you- I am sure ready for the new year!  We took a train ride up to the North Pole and then headed to Las Vegas over the Thanksgiving weekend. 

I was really impressed with the whole North Pole experience with the Grand Canyon Railway. The hotel was wonderful with delicous food. It was really an impressive system they have for such a large number of people going on the train!

 I'm not gonna lie, it was sure nice not to have to worry about putting together a Thanksgiving dinner! Everyone got to pick what they wanted, so I chose pizza for the meal:) Now it's time to deck the halls...

Cardabilities Sketch #63

A new sketch is up at cardabilities! This is such a versatile sketch. I chose to do a winter card, bright and cheery. I have been playing with the Cricut Craft Room on my computer, and purchased the Teresa Collins December 25th cartridge. Oh, how I love it! I plan on making some Christmas tags with it soon.

Birthday Cards and Tags

We have a ton of winter birthdays coming up, trying to get some cards and tags done!

Happy Card and Wacky Times

A just because card, I really love the peacock feathers paper! I spent a whole day cleaning out and organizing my craft space. Gotta get my zen area back.

 I somehow managed to injure myself while getting an MRI. I was getting an iv put in, and it was not feeling right. I go to the bathroom, and next thing, I passed out because I was face down on the tile! It could of been a lot worse, a broken nose or other broken body parts. So, for now I am sporting a real mean black eye, and have been wearing my sunglasses just about everywhere! These past eight months have rolled this way, and here's to hoping next year is a little less eventful!

Sketch #62 Cardabilities

Sketch #62 is up over at cardabilities! I decided to do another Halloween card, using Sk Digis, the current sponsor.

October Updates

Because two Snow Whites are better than one! This is Audrey's third year as Snow, so we may be retiring it for a new costume next year. 

We went camping this past weekend in Prescott at Lynx Lake. Anything under 80 degrees is cold for me! I brought lots of layers to stay cozy.

I have been much improved over these past few weeks...The doctor has pretty much determined my latest issues is called reactive arthritis. All of my body pain issues can go back to that. Thankfully it is not a permanent thing, and allot of the time it can sort of  "take care of itself."

I did make quite a few Halloween cards, but didn't even photo them! At this rate I will be lucky if they make it to family before Wednesday, but that's ok:) It's the thought that counts.
