Its a Blog Hop... BLOG HOP!!!

WELCOME!!!

Being that this is my first blog hop, I am just excited to be here, to get inspiration from others. (and finally find out what this blog hop is all about! Hopefully you joined me from a fellow fairy, Sheryl's Craftin Corner,

I am part of the Cricut messageboards Cricut Card Fairies, and a blurp posted from our commander in chief as follows :)

"Let me tell you about the CRICUT CARD FAIRIES first. They sprung from an idea that I had (Cards for Soldiers); I figure hey our Soldiers loved the card we were sending, why not use our massive amounts of supplies and talent to help anyone that needs a pick me up or lift. So I asked on the cricut messageboard in April 2008 and two years and 620 plus missions later we are still going strong. We are a group of VOLUNTEERS who love our circuts, love making cards, and love spreading cheer through said cards. We have sent all over the United States, Canada, Australia, and even Germany and other parts of Europe. We send all types of cards: birthday, good thoughts, sympathy, well wishes, get better soon, and so many more. I am biased but I think the Cricut Card Fairies are the greatest group of caring, sweet, and super talented people around." ~ Crystal, Card Fair Co Commander.

How awesome huh? I have been a part of this on and off for about a year. I personally have had cards requested, and in turn complete my own missions. Its a WIN WIN for everyone! Here are some cards that I made for a few missions back!

Thanks for stopping by, and saying HI! I dont have any blog candy THIS Time.. but next, I will be more prepared! Your next stop is PamelaOsterday at http://blog.pamelaosterday.com/

Now here is the lineup for this whole weekend. We will END THE HOP on Sunday evening. Please pay attention to when each fairy will post their winners (if there is candy!)

Whoa... Where have I been?

Last post... 7 MONTHS AGO?????? WHOA! My apologies!

Today, I cleared out my photobucket storage, and then decided to upgrade... go figure.

I have been busy with school, finally got my AA degree after nearly 7 years back in May. Now on to undergrad school for my BA in teaching. Whooot Whoot!

Since the last time we "talked" I have not done too much scrappin, kinda in the mood to clean and organize. I did however, purchase a YUDU first of the year, and so far, while I like it, it has been giving me fits! I made some merchandise for a local band, and so far it looks wonderful. I have been asked to do other shirts as well.

Here are pix of the merchandise :

Front side of Tshirts We did a total of 55 mens cut shirts.

Back side of Tshirts

Ladies version of shirts.. modelled after the I Heart NY. I made 55 of these.

And finally, the armbands we made. I made 60 of these in five different colors.

So far thats it, all i have been up to... although my next three projects will be interesting, a cub
scoout camp shirt, a church kidz camp shirt, and another band project. WHohoohoo!

Its HERE!

I am sooo excited to have won a free Lyrical Letters Cartridge when Phelnin gave one of her winnings away! See the post HERE.

Here is me with my newest present!!

Pet Can Rec'd

I hosted a pet paint can swap that was due first week in May. I sent mine off without taking any pics, but this is the one that I received from LUCKY on the Cricut MB. I hosted this swap, and it was interesting to say the least..


Isnt this a GREAT bunch of goodies!

Here is a photo of of my cats digging for thier part of the goodies...

My Personal Update ~ WOW! Its been 4 months!

Since my last post! Wow oh Wow ! I have had way to much going on I think!



Since my last post at the end of January, I moved with my daughters to a place of our own. My husband and I are seperated, things were just not working out. Since then, we have done couseling and its getter better, but 8 years of damage takes more than 3 months to correct, so we have a long road ahead. I do have hopes that it will work out tho.



Anyhow, so the girls and I moved, along with my daycare. Thank GOD that my landlord is so understanding, since the daycare is my only income, and has been for so long, they allowed me to keep my daycare. That made me so happy, cuz the thought of losing my daycare kids broke my heart. I had two brand new ones start with me on Tuesday and they are SOOOOO cute! They are already fitting in well, and take up a special place in my heart.



My school semester ended the first week of May, I ended up with a 2.98 GPA, not bad for me and all thats going on. I start back again next week, only two classes this summer, then two more in the fall and I will have my AA in Liberal Arts. Then I need to wait / look for other options for completing my Early Childhood Ed degree, either through the local community college or elsewhere. I am excited to know what I want to be when I grow up... even tho with teaching, you never really do 'grow up'! ;)



I have been doing some, but not much crafty stuff.. mostly just swaps that need completion. I have done several swaps since my last post... two paint cans, two journaling tags, two card swaps and am currently in more yet. I will spend the next hour or so updating my blog so you can see what I have been doing. I also was able to attend a weekend crop locally last weekend, and even though I ended up sick and slept alot, I did get some things done, those pages also are going to be updated.

Sorry for such lacking skills of updating, please feel free to leave comments, I love to see em :)
