A new find

I always like finding new places to get cut files for my Cricut machine. I recently stumbled across Marjorieann designs. She had a couple freebies offered so I took advantage and downloaded one to try. Well I love the design I found but it was a little confusing figuring out how to put it all together. Some designers include directions for assembling but she didn't. This guy turned out cute but his head looks a little cockeyed to me.

I may need some practice drawing on the lashes also. I think I'll have to download another freebie and see if I can do any better. Or maybe just make this one again. 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

After Amanda and I went to Michael's we had to hit Hobby Lobby. They also had lots of fall decorations and theirs were all discounted. Then we noticed that it was looking very merry down a few other aisles. They had lots of Christmas decorations up already.

On our way home it started looking very stormy the closer we got to home. Amanda snapped a picture out the car window.

Lunch and shopping with my daughter

July 3rd Amanda and I went out to lunch and then did a little shopping. Our shopping experiences always include a craft store. We stopped at Michael's first. They had the most adorable fall decorations. Unfortunately my thrifty side found them a little too expensive. Maybe if they go on sale I'll see if they're still there. First was this super cute canoe with squirrel and I think fox inside.

There were some others too.

Easy peasy lemon squeezy

I recently had an extremely easy cake order at work. All they wanted on it was writing no flowers. I tried to make up for the lack of decoration by using a cake comb to give the outside edges some texture. Then I also added some sprinkles.
