Be of good cheer!!

I have had an excellent summer, and now that it's almost over, I need to catch up on blogging about all that fun!

First things first, I made sister1 this totally cute banner!

End of the year

For an end-of-year gift, I made my students these goody bags! The bags were filled with bouncy balls and little chocolates wrapped in soccer, basketball, baseball and football wrappers!

Birthday

I made this for a girl at work. I was rather pleased with how it turned out!!

Onesies for Jakey

About 6 months ago, I started making onesies for Jake!  About a month ago (after putting aside the first set because I waited too long and he grew too much) I finally finished them!

Now, that is one cute 'mommy's boy'!!

Sebastian's birthday

Shandi threw one heck of a party for Sebastian's birthday!

I helped out by providing some of the decorations!

And I did a onesie for the birthday boy!

Happy birthday to Wheeler!

Last week, Jan asked me to make a birthday banner for her son, Wheeler.

I love how it turned out!

My new best friend

Right before Christmas, I sold my Wishblade.  We did many cute projects together...but it was time to move on.

I bought my self this girl!

Holy cow!  I love her!

She's easy to use: which could be in part because it's a lot like the Wishblade, except her user interface is a lot more straight forward!  The WB had three different blade caps and I'd have to look up each type of material I was going to cut to make sure I was using the right cap, but the Silhouette has one blade that you adjust depending on the material and when you tell the machine to cut, it tells you which setting to use!  Unlike the WB, which only could cut things that were 8.5" wide, my new BFF can cut things that are 12" wide (it's so nice to not have to cut scrapbook paper down to size before using it)! 

I'm loving her and we've already started bonding over some pretty darling projects!
