Creative Writer Blog Award and a RAK

I would like to thank Sheila from the She's a Sassy Lady blog for this blog award. Please check her wonderful blog out at http://shesasassylady.blogspot.com/

As part of this award I am supposed to tell you 6 truths about myself and 1 lie or vice versa. I chose to tell 6 truths and 1 lie, so try to figure out which is the lie.

1. My favorite color is brown.
2. My husband supports my hobby 100%.
3. I love cats.
4. I am addicted to SU! products.
5. I consider myself an environmentalist but realistic.
6. I like soccer.
7. My husband taught me how to cook.

Please leave a comment under this post telling me which of the statements above is not true and I will randomly pick a winner of a Crop-a-dile among the ones who guessed it right on Wednesday June 23, 2010. (Sorry, US only). Thanks!!!

Graduation party favors

Hi, the past few weeks my life has been very stressful and even though things aren't back to normal, I have to be thankful that they aren't getting any worse. I would like to thank you for all the prayers.

After experiencing so many problems with my blog (wasn't able to fix it), I thought it was time to share some of my creations with you.

This week I made 45 graduation party favors for my mom. She is a school teacher and her school is having a graduation party by the beginning of July and she wanted to give each graduate a little something. So I came up with this idea. I still need to glue clear bags with candy to each of them (photo 1) but the end product would look something like photo 2. Hope you like them!!

Tools:

• Cricut Expression
• Create a Critter cart (owl)
• Everyday Paper Dolls cart (cap)
• Big Shot Express
• SU! Top Note Die
• Paper crimper

Materials:

• Recollections cardstock (Neutral pack from M's)
• The Paper Studio Grad-u-a-tion cardstock pack (from HL)
• Black cardstock from Wal-Mart
• SU! clear bags
• Glue dots
• Orange cardstock from M's

Blog Problems

It's been a while since the last time I posted and wanted to touch base. After making some changes to my blog due to some security issues (had to remove family pictures), I messed it up and all of the messages my kind followers had posted disappeared. I want to apologize for that. Also, I can't get into details, but would like to ask you to keep my family in your prayers. Thanks!!!

3-D Robot

Hello everyone!! I recently bought the Cricut Robotz cartridge and after going through the booklet, I found out there were 3-D cuts. They are way too cute!! I made the robot on page 74 (robot47) and used DS to cut it. It was a little tricky to put it together but the end result was way cute! One word of advice, don't tell your kids you are going to make one and wait until they go to bed. My little one was awake when I made it and he was very impatient :( Hope you like it.

Have a wonderful weekend!!!
