Baby Shower

We celebrated the upcoming arrival of Carson David Mueller this past Saturday. We had a shower for Sarah in Round Rock. I made this diaper cake. It's my third one. I think they are getting better every time. :) 

This is the cake. Pretty funny! 

And, here is the beautiful momma to be! She is radiant! 

Last post for today...

My artsy abode! I love it! :) Since I don't have a whole room (because the bed is there for guests) I am happy with my corner. 

 While I was crafting and Brad was video gaming, Daisy was .... well, sleeping. That is, until I took a picture.

YourStory

I used my YourStory machine for the first time today. First, I made a book. My students wrote me letters at the end of the year. I put them all in this book and bound it with my new book binding machine. 

Then, inside I also glued in a CD envelope and put the DVD I made the kids with all the pictures inside it. It will be a great keepsake.

Then, I used the laminating part of the machine. I made new bathroom passes. The laminating part is amazing! The laminate is thick and my passes are too cute!!

M is for Miscellaneous

A folder cover for my Junior League notebook. I made my name out of markers. You put them in the same place you would put the blade and it draws the design instead of cutting it. Then, I used my new wavy blade on my new cutting board to cut it out.

This is my notebook that I'm using for meeting notes this year. It already had polka dots on it. I fancied it up with the "Notes" and the year. I used the Winnie the Pooh font. I think it is my favorite font. :) 

 

 I made this to go inside my binder for other notes. I used the Simply Charmed cartridge, another one of my favorites. :)

Handmade Cards

Since I have had some extra time, I decided to make cards instead of buying them. The first card is a graduation card for Brad's cousin. She graduated from high school, making us feel old! I remember when she was just a kid... I disgress! Inside is a fancy scroll for the message. :)

My Aunt Shawna fell off a walking path the other day and broke her femur! :( She had to have surgery to put some pins in her legs. She was in a ton of pain! I made this little punny card for her. I know it won't take away the pain, but hopefully it will put a smile on her face.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of those dad's out there! I am so lucky to have so many father figures in my life. I have one amazing daddy! I will always be his little girl and I am so glad he came to visit us a few weeks ago. Not only did he come visit us, he brought me a hat signed by my favorite quarterback, Tim Tebow!!

Below are the cards I made for my dad, stepdad, father in law, and step father in law. Oh yeah, I also made one for Brad's grandad because he's always been another dad in Brad's life. I had to go to the store to get manly paper. I could see some ties that really look like this. :)

                                               Inside the card:

To all you dad's in the interwebs.... Happy Father's Day!

You gotta spend money to save money!

Well, maybe... maybe not. I did hit up another really good sale today. On www.cricutmachine.com, if you buy a cartridge that costs $34.50 or more, then you get the Mickey Mouse font cartridge and the Mickey and friends cartridge for FREE!!! Wow!! So, I got the other Disney princess cart, since I don't have that one yet. I thought I would share that great deal with you. I was excited!

The other highlight of my day is UF winning their first game in the College World Series. :) Go Gators!!! I have apparently gone out of order in my 40 bags, 40 days declutter project. I have been organizing my office for all of the crafts I want to make. So... back to my office. Maybe I will be happy with it by the end of the weekend and it will be free of some clutter. Have a good weekend and Happy Father's Day to all the daddy's out there!
