A couple of photos from croptoberfest

We had our annual Croptoberfest at New Life last Friday and Saturday.  It was such a busy weekend in DeRidder-cancer walk, Kari Jo's shower-that our group was small but wonderful.  We really had a productive and fun time.  Here are a couple of photos of the goodie bags we made for the group.  I really love the way they turned out.

Hi there-I'm still alive and kicking!


I have to be the world's worst blogger.  I like to read blogs, but I am terrible at posting to them.  Anyway, here is a card I designed for my niece's baby shower.  I really like how it turned out.  I used the Cricut New Arrival cart for the monkey at 4".  I used CM cardstock for the monkey and card base.  I used DCWV for the rest of the card and I got the ribbon at a local LSS in Lake Charles-Woven Hearts.  I cut "eli" at 1" from Nursery Rhymes, my new favorite font cart even though it isn't really a font cart!

Not really much of a blogger....

Well, I guess anyone who has stumbled upon this blog has realized that I am still struggling with posting here more than every 6 weeks or so.  I will try to do better....

Here is a little card I made for my DH's "Girl Friday's" lingerie shower.  Krystal and Josh got married Saturday night in a beautiful ceremony.  More about the wedding later.  I made this little card to accompany her lingerie shower.  The gift looks a lot like this only it is solid black.


Krystal also asked me to decorate some water bottles that she was putting in the goody bags of the out-of-town guests.  I used my trusty Cricut and some vinyl and they turned out well.

Yudu screen print


Here's a design I created with my Cricut Design Studio and then used vinyl to make a screen and printed it on the shirt.  Very easy to do and you can virtually make any design you can cut or print!

Time for another layout



This layout was made from Fresh Pickins.  This cart has some really wonderful cuts on it.

Wow, time really flies.....

Just a few years back (it seems), I gave birth to my precious baby daughter, Casey, and yesterday she had a birthday and finished her college career at LSU!  Yep, her last test was on her birthday.  Quite a memorable day for her.  She will graduate in August with honors and I couldn't be prouder.  Today, her dad will have his 60th birthday-but he says the ones since Casey was born don't count-ha, ha!  We are going to meet her for lunch today in Lafayette to celebrate all our blessings.  Just a few photos to bring back some memories!

Casey and I when she was about 6 months old.  Boy am I young!  This is one of the few pictures that I have digitized on my computer.  Times have really changed for photos since she was born.

Casey and I on our trip last weekend to see "Wicked".  We had so much fun and it was a great production.  We are in the Magnolia Hotel in Houston.  It is a wonderful place to stay and very close to the Hobby Center.

Casey and Ralph, my two favorite people!
