Bird Crazy!!

I have been playing with Tim Holtz's Crazy Bird stamps.  They are so much fun to play with.  Here is one of them.  Will post more when I can.

Since DECEMBER!!!

I cannot believe that I have not posted in 6 months.  Where has the time gone?  Well, just to catch up, I have had 2 knee surgeries on my left knee.  One in February and one in March.  It is a long recovery.  I have not done a lot of scrapping in that time, as I cannot keep my knee bended for long periods of time. Here is a card in a box that I did while being laid up.  I have done some other projects, but have not been able to figure out how to get them uploaded to the blog.  Weird, that some can up and others did not!  Well, I will try and post more often.

Well Christmas is over, but I thought that I would show you the cards that I made.  I have been trying to do more with my Cricut Explore.  I am finally getting the hang of some of the features and how to do them.  Boy, is there a learning curve, especially since I very rarely used my expressions.  Hope that you all have a great happy and healthy New Year.  See you in 2015!

I have been playing with my cricut Explore for the past few days.  First I made some flowers, then I decided to delve into vinyl. Even though I did a very simple design, I found it a lot harder than I thought it would be.  I guess I will start on next years gifts very early in the year.  I am beginning to come out of the box so to speak.  I NEVER would have tried anything like this a few years ago.  Now just to find the time to watch You Tube!  I just usually find myself reading a book on my I Pad instead or playing games.  MUST stop the games.  I really need to make some changes for the new year.  My first change will be cleaning up my scrap room as much as I can with this bum leg of min.  It has really put a damper on the holidays this year.  I am not even suppose to be rafting as my leg is suppose to be elevated.  Not so easy when you are trying to scrap.  Very awkward position and uncomfortable.  Now off to finish my online shopping as I finally got my new credit cards after my husband thought he lost his wallet.  It was sitting on his desk the whole time.  He found it after we cancelled everything! OY!

I have 't done any scrapping since my last post.  I have been having too much fun with my children and grand children visiting.  The last one goes home December 3rd.  We had a great Thanksgiving just being together.  Today, we went shopping for the kids winter clothes.  I usually do this myself, but as long as the mom's were here, I just let them go to town.   I ordered my deep cut blade and housing for my explore, a new blade and a cartridge.  Had my mom buy me a new printer as a Chanukah gift.  I am shopped out.  Hope to do some crafting this week when my son and daughter-in-law go down to Miami to visit with a friend.  I was going to go, but I think I need some me and scrappy time.  See you all next week.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!
