Day 288

The first picture is our newest project. We are building a "barn" garage. It will look like a little barn and there will be a down stairs for cars and an upstairs for ???  We are hoping to do most of the work ourselves and it already has been a big job. This weekend was putting in electrical and water pipes so that everything is in place for the concrete  this week. It involved digging a trench about 4 feet deep up to the building site which muct be about 300 feet away. The electrical wires had to be run through conduit, plastic pipe, before it could be buried. Easier said then done.
The next picture is a card that I made using a cricut file to cut the daisy type flower. I cut 4 flowers for each flower and layered them. The stems are just paper hand cut with my paper cutter. The card is sweeter than it looks in the picture.

Day 240

These aren't the best pictures. :O(

My daughter Jodie asked me to make some scrapbook pages for a co-workers little girl. She wanted Disney Princesses. So I cut out 3 Princesses using my KNK. The first one, Cinderella, is about 2.5 inches and the pieces were tiny. Then I cut Aurora, and I made her bigger, but because she is a bigger file the pieces were still itsy bitsy. By the time I got to Snow White I made her huge, she is about 6x7.Much better. When I talked to my daughter that night she said the little girl's name is Tristen and her favorite Princess is Snow White. Well, did I get lucky or what. In the pictures the pieces are just sitting on white paper...I told Jodie I would make the images, she had to make the pages. The files are all from Cricut  cut with the KNK.

Day 72

My great nephew has a Birthday on the third so last night I decided I needed to get a card done if I was going to get it mailed on time. And I didn't have much free time. So this is what I came up with. I had the Mickey done. He was cut with my KNK using the Disney Cricut file. I used a red polka dot paper for the background and cut the Happy Birthday from black vinyl. I really like vinyl!

Day 26

Yesterday we colored Easter Eggs. We haven't done that in years because there never seemed to be enough time. I knew it had been a long time when my daughter Tash thought they would be chocolate eggs. :O)

Today I managed to finish cleaning the flower beds. Another one of those things that in years past would have taken forever to get done. It was nice to have them done, but also a sad time.

I told my husband that I realized why my dad, father of 8, liked to garden and do yard work. You have peace and quiet and the kids don't bother you for fear you will put them to work.

My card today is a congratulations card using a Cricut file and cut on my KNK. I made one for a friend, and when I cut a file I usually cut several so I can make several cards at the same time. They all generally each turn out just a bit different.
