New Project - Before & After

Here's a wooden cat statue that I've had for years that I've grown out of so...

                                                               Before

                                                      After: My Magical Cat!

New Toy!

 This new toy was purchased when we went out and bought a new litter box for the cat, she keeps hanging her butt out of the box so basically the box is always clean, it's the floor we have to deal with. 

 
 Anyway this was very cute and was priced right (it was in the clearance bin).

 

That's all for now, thanks for looking.  We're going back to playing.

Happy Birthday !

Well today we celebrated my Dad's Birthday! We all got together at my parents house and played Wii (my parents love it!), ate way to much delish food my mom made, sang Happy Birthday and ate cake AND waited for ... Surprise Dad!  Here's your b-day present!

My wonderful Mom got my Dad a new Scooter bike thing he wanted (yes that's sunshine yellow),  he picked it out and everything so he knew he was going to get it but he didn't know when, my mom told him that because of the payment plan she picked out it was not going to be paid for by his birthday, sorry :(.  But she played a trick on him because she had it delivered TODAY!!   When she asked him if he really was surprised he said yes, I was actually going to get ready for bed soon. LOL! Oh Dad!












He wanted this new scooter because he said it's more comfortable for them to ride.  This whole thing kind of makes me nervous that these to are going to be cruisin' on the open road but they are old enough so I guess I can't say to much, they grow up so fast, sniffle sniffle.  

My Mom said that when she got home everyday she was greeted to this on the door in the garage leading into the house. Counting down the day to B-Day! Got to Love him.





On lookers to the cool new "bike"   










Here's a card I made for him on my Cricut Expression. I tried to made the dog look like his dog, I think I did a pretty good job if I do say so myself!  Anyway here is a picture of the card & his dog.  
 














Hope you had a great Birthday Dad, Love ♥♥♥♥♥♥ You!

Dog Park

Back at the dog park, weather on Saturday morning was beautiful, the temperature was very pleasant. It had been a few months since we had gone, it was always so darn HOT!

There were a few new faces.

Resting after playing at the dog park.    Winning!

Finally Finished!

I finally finished my Owl card, I've been working on it for a few days now, not totally committed at each sitting because I was not sure what I wanted it to look like.  It all started when I cut the branches from the Cricut cart. Happy Hauntings.  I thought I could make a tree out of the branches but that didn't work so I decided an Owl [Happy Haunting}sitting in a spooky tree, which was going to be a leafless tree until I cut leaves out using the Simply Scarecrow cart. at the wrong size for another project and saw that these were the perfect size for this one.  Sooo I glued the final leaf on today and the rest is Cricut history.

Enjoy.

What probaby helped today also was that the weather was raining, pouring and dark outside, I lit some Pumpkin smelling candles and drank one of these yummy Pumpkin Ales,      Yay they are finally at the stores, Love this time of year!

Glitter!

Sigh ... I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ Glitter
Check out this new glitter I bought, @ Michaels craft store. The brand is Art-C
(http://myartc.com/products-page/art-c-mixed-media/glitter/)

Love the bottles and their packaging is soo cute, so cute in fact I used it in a project.









I cut the packaging and kept the front and then cut silhouettes using my Cricut Expression and the cart. Happy Hauntings. I cut the images at 2", I used the Bride of Frankie and the mummy.


The only thing was that the mummy was all separate pieces, so that was !tedious

I glued the images to ivory crafting paper then glued the ribbon then glued the black paper on that to make a nice back to my little picture frames.







The Final product hanging happily on my Halloween Tree!
