My Camera is BACK!!!!

Oh the little things in life that excite me!! Really my husband is a lucky guy, I am SO low maintenance!

So this morning as I am trying to get dressed the doorbell rings, of course as I am completely naked, so the boys starting squealing in delight wanting to know who was at the door! I hurry to throw something on and now the person is knocking on the door, so I yell out I'm coming! I open the door and there is a big box and a DHL man, as I am signing for a the package I notice the label-its the camera!!! YEAH!!! I have NO idea what was wrong, all I do know is it is FIXED!!! I must say that wasn't so bad of a wait, a little over a week! So now I can go back to snapping away! : )

So as promised I have some new LO's to show you!

The first one here is made with the Dixie Pieces January kit! A little something to cool you off in the heat of the summer! I SOOOO LOVE that kit!! I can't wait, I decided I NEED their June kit as well, so I will be ordering that VERY soon! Speaking of Dixie Pieces, just a reminder the first weekend in August will be another one of their AWESOME online crops, so be sure to come check it out! LOTS of fun!!!

I just added the glitter chipboard letters, the little clear snowflake embellies on the ribbon, the Heidi Grace rub-ons and the journaling sticker from Remarks. I also added some stickles to the snowflakes to help make them stand out more.This one is made from almost all of the Basic Grey Cupcake line of products, I just added the Making Memories journaling sheet and a clear Remarks journaling sticker. The letters were not standing out very well, so I decided to outline them with a green glaze pen, and did the same to the strip of paper on the right as well. Under the letters I used silver stickles to create some "bling".Here's a better pic of one I showed before, this one is Making Memories pp, Scenic Route/Heidi Grace letters, Jenni Bowlin ticket, Autumn Leaves button, and Scenic Route chipboard.

I have recently started posting on the Cricut.com message boards, and I have to say the ladies AND gents there are SUPER NICE people!! Everyone is ALWAYS giving a RAK to someone, or if they find a hot item everyone is looking for they will buy extra and give those away to people, or share things with someone who is looking for something-just SOOO generous! And I am excited to say I received my first RAK from Rachel (B&Wsmommy)!!! I just LOVE scrappy mail!! She knew I had 2 boys and sent the following to me!

I have an awesome RAK going out to 5boysRmine. I have to say this Cricut message board is VERY DANGEROUS!!! I have bought 2 cartridges REALLY cheap from ladies selling them on that board! Just bad, bad, bad!!! LOL!!! I have definitely learned some new things on that board and discovered some new items.

I CAN'T wait for tomorrow!!! Its crop night over at Hannah's!!! I haven't gone out to scrap since the last one they had on June 6th!!! It will be fun, but lonely-my friend/scrapping buddy is still on bedrest! Please keep her, the baby and all of her family in your thoughts. They have a long road ahead of them and I hope next week when she goes for her ultrasound they get LOTS of good news! She has a 3 1/2 year old who has been bouncing between family members each day as she can't take care of him. Tough times for everyone, but I hope that they get good news next week and continue getting good news till the end in December! I will have one of my scrapping buddies with me, so I won't be alone. I have LOTS to get done tomorrow too! I hope to at the very least get the album I am working on for my friend who just got married done! She got married in May in Florida and the reception is in August and the shower is on Sunday. I am just hoping I get the pics I ordered online in time!! YIKES!!

Well naptime has just ended, so I am back on the clock!

TFL!
