Exciting News- and a Giveaway!!

Hi Everyone!  

My exciting news is......

I was chosen to be a part of the new Getting Cricky with K Andrew Design Team!!

I am truly honored to be a part of something that is so inspiring to me and many others.  Thank you Kristal, Brenda, and Kathy for having me- and I can't wait to "meet" my fellow DT members!!

I was working on this post (and had no idea) when I got the news (above)- so I had to edit!

Now for the Giveaway!!

I received a new Campin' Critters cartridge from Kristal Andrew the other day.  Miss K. picked my project as the winner of her Simply Sunday- Let's get Campy challenge! 

I was so excited to win, because I just adore Kristal and love her blog so much!!

My only problem with winning the Campin' Critters cartridge-- 

--I already have it!

Here's my project that won.

Now for the fun part....

I am "re-gifting" the cartridge that I won, and want to pass it on to someone else who loves Kristal and her blog as much as I do!

Here's what you have to do.....

You don't have to be a follower of mine (but I'd love it if you were).

Now It's My Turn (To Steal The Blog)

    Hi I am Mackenzie I made this card to show off (ha ha Mom I stole your blog just like Avery did!!) I made this card off of Kate's ABC's and I might give it to my best friend for a just because card!!!!

(P.S. Now that my Mom has a E2 (ha ha it's fun to say E2 in stead of Expression 2) I'm hope we/I get the old Expression!!!!!!!!!!!) (or E)    :)

Stealing Mom's Blog

Hi! I'm Avery, and I'm stealing my mom's blog.

Our basement started off as a storage room, then a big blanket fort for me and my sister, and then my mom bought us each a Cricut and we didn't want to keep them on the kitchen table so we turned the big blanket fort into a crafty fort!

My mom spent 2 hours cleaning the craft room today and as soon as she was done, I went right down there and messified it up!

I made this birdie in the cage card.

So here's how I made it:

I used my baby bug.  My mat was disgusting so I used my sisters mat (she's good for something)!

The frame is from Cricut Lite Live Simply cartridge.

The bird and cage are from Cricut Lite Chore Chart.  Yea!! I was the first one in my family to use THIS cartridge.  I LOVE GOOGLEY EYES!!!

Then I touched it up with some do dads and stamps and snapped a picture so I could show the world! my mom.

  Thanks for looking!

This was an honor to do this!  Thanks Mom!

Peace-out  I'm tired.

A busy week and Awards!

Hi Everyone!

What a busy week!  It's Monday night and I feel like I missed the weekend all together!  

Last week was a crazy busy week at work.  I normally have Sat- Mon off, but last week I was helping with a class and worked Mon-Thur.  It was a great class (teaching about food safety and HACCP Principles), but since it was a "hands on" training, we put in a lot of hours!  49 hours in 4 days (plus I had to work 6 hours on Sat. for a total of 55 hrs.!)-- just not what I am used to.

I also was involved in 2 blog hops this past weekend.  Blog hops are so much fun!!  Thank you to Jen and Bella for asking me to play along!
I want to thank everyone who stopped by and I want to welcome all of the new followers to my blog!
If you're new, please take a look at the left side bar and go check out my friends.  I will be updating my sidebar in the next day or two and switching out some buttons (not because I don't think you're awesome- but because I want to make it new and exciting and give everyone a chance to see their buttons displayed!).

I have some wonderful ladies that I need to recognize and thank for passing the Versatile Blogger and Cricut-tastic Awards on to me.

Tiffany from Sparkled Memories
Amy from Love to Crop

Jen from Jen's Craft Corner

Lisa from Pretty Paper, Pretty Ribbons

Emily from Cool Cricut Creations

Jenn From Craftyfull Gardens

Please go visit these crafty chicks and give them some much deserved love!

Here are the rules for the Cricut-tastic Award:

Your blog has been deemed Cricut-tastic. Wear this badge proudly on your blog and share it with friends. Share this award with 10 people that you think have Cricut-tastic blogs. You also have to tell 5 cricut related things about yourself.

The 5 Cricut things are:

1.  I bought my first Cricut (an Expression) in September 2010.  Since then, I have bought a Gypsy, each of my  girls a Baby Bug, and recently I purchased the E2!

2.  If I could play on the Cricut all day long I would.  I am trying to come up with a job that I can play at all day (and still make the amount of money that I currently do).  If anyone has any ideas- please let me know.  :)

3.  I am a bargin shopper and will not pay full price for anything.   I'm happy even if I save $1.00.  I scrounged around the internet to find a coupon code for HSN when I bought the E2.  (I saved $10.00 and got $10.47 cash back through Ebates).

4.  I am happy that my daughters love to craft as much as I do!

5.  I started my blog in Feb. 2011 and am in awe everyday at the awesomeness of everyone out here!  You all inspire me daily!

I am going to cheat and just pass this award on to everyone.  You all deserve it!
