Cricut Crazy!!!!

That's it. I've gone Cricut Crazy!!!! I have been trying to catch up for the several months I didn't use it I guess. My house looked like a full production factory on Saturday as I was making these gifts for some special ladies!




I had the machine going in one room, an application station in the kitchen, and the gift wrapping area was in the living room. I felt very accomplished after I completed all 9 pitchers and the other things I had to do to get ready for Mother's Day!


I do sell these, by the way. The pitchers are $10 for 1/2 gallon size and $12 for gallon size. I have several colors of lids (including just plain white) and I have tons of lettering and colors to choose from.



I am limited on these orange ones that make GREAT Auburn gifts, so if you want one, you better let me know FAST.

I also have buckets in several shapes, sizes, and colors... $10.00 for this size...



These lunch containers work great for school-age- they even have a spoon in the lid! These are $8.



I do cups- travel mug style or plain tumblers (set of 4), cake, pie, & cupcake carriers (all $10),



water bottles- cute colors- and pretty much ANYTHING that you can put an initial on. So... if you need a special gift for someone (like a GRADUATE!), let me know and I'll help you out! All gifts include free personalization AND I clear wrap them "boutique style" so they are ready to be given away! :)





Speaking of give-a-ways..... I haven't done one in FOREVER. Soooo.... I am giving away one gift- your choice of a pitcher, platter, bucket, or lunch container... Just leave any comment on this blog post between now and Saturday and I will announce the winner this weekend!!!! I am so excited- remember, whatever # post you are- that's your "number". Past give-a-way winners are eligible! :)


As far as Mother's Day, mine was busy- but great! Annistyn brought me a card from her, her Daddy, and Finley. They gave me a 1 hr. swedish massage gift certificate (CAN't WAIT!) and Michael bought me a new cartridge for my Cricut in Wal-Mart Saturday to go with that. I love my family!



I fixed these pictures for Nana...



My mom was excited about her gifts- a market tote and this 16 x 20 canvas print of my sweet baby.



I had never had any pictures printed on canvas, but it turned out GREAT! I ordered the brown toned picture for our wall, but I'm going to have to get it in canvas now.



Tonight I took some of Annistyn in the bathtub. I told you about her bathroom re-decorating. I have a panel of her first bath pictures already, but I think I'm going to do a big one for the wall space over the tub. I needed some pictures for that.







I know she is mine... but I just think she is beautiful...



My husband was looking at these and accused me of touching up her eyes. I had to show him the original picture on the camera to convince him otherwise. I agree that her eyes don't look their normal "green" in these, but they are 100% untouched. She just has beautiful eyes...
(And I bounced the flash so it wouldn't hit her directly and cause that nasty "flash" look. I am a HUGE fan of natural light... but we didn't have any in the bathroom, so an indirect flash is the next best thing. Not that I am a camera expert!)



Some people think she looks like Michael and I agree that as she is getting older she is looking more like him. What do you think?







I think she has features that are definitely his. Usually people that knew me when I was little say she looks just like I did and she does look a lot like I did. But Michael and I have several similiar features, so it's really hard to pin point exactly who she looks like. It definitely depends on her facial expressions!

Here's her "fresh" curls... I love them after she gets out of the tub. They go everywhere!




Well, I have an ear infection and I'm off to bed. Since it's been about 14 years since I have had one, I forgot how much they hurt!!! No wonder Annistyn was ill last week!!!

Don't forget to leave a comment if you want to be in the running for the free personalized gift!
