Birthday card for guy

I always have a hard time making cards for men. But for this card when I seen this pic of the Dallas cowboy baby I knew that would make a cute card. My cousin is a big football fan so thought I would use the pic. I wanted to make it a little funny and poke fun at the cowboys. And since the baby looked like he was not happy I put Make a wish below the baby. And on the inside I put "but you only get one so make sure its a good one" Even as a Texas native we all know the Dallas cowboys are not so good....lol I would not waste a wish on them...lol So anyway that is the card its kinda silly but he will get a laugh.

If anyone has any tips about using embossing powder I would love some. I tried the dryer sheet trick and it did not work. As you will see there still was lose powder I could not get off. Any tips to keep the powder from sticking on places you dont want it sticking?

Also don't forget Weds is the last day to enter for my GIVE AWAY only one comment so far. So come Wed night if that is the only one then she will get the items. Well thanks for looking at my card. Hope your having a good week so far.

Blog ANNIVERSARY and Give away!

Update Give away going till Wed Nov 8th...Here is what you will win. Set of stampology stamp set, two packs of cute rub ons, two packs of gems cause bling is just fun.

Well its been 2 years since I made my first post on my blog. My how life has changed for us since then...lol Back when I started my blog I kinda did it to take my mind off of life. We had been looking for a home for a long time and was not having any luck. Well then about a month after I started my blog we found a house in a area we liked. We made the offer it was accepted and then in Jan we became home owners.

But along the way of this life change I have to say having my blog was great. I enjoyed having a place to put my voice out there. I will never forget the first comment and the first follower...lol I was like wow some body looked at my blog and joined!LOL I was shocked that anyone would want to read my tiny little blog. And its still tiny no doubt. But I am grateful for those who do follow and want to read the blog. I really have enjoyed having the blog and having a place to share ideas and tips. I  have always been a person to want to share ideas and help others. And this allows me to do that. So with all that said I want to say as a big THANK YOU to you followers.

So to enter leave a comment, I wont make this follower only give away since some might not have a blogger account. But would be nice if you were a follower ;) Just make sure there is a way to reach you. I am going to let the give away run till next wed nov 8th that way everyone has a chance to enter.

If you have trouble commenting contact me and I will chnage comment fourm my email is mdwatts@hotmail.com

Fall card and cricut sales

Hello! Shock I know I am posting, its been busy here. Last Sunday I spent the day rearranging my craft room.  Added little more storage in the room, its a guest room as well so I have to make sure I keep it easy to move around in. I will take pictures when I get all the re organizing done and post them. And this week so far I have been doing instead of spring cleaning fall cleaning...lol Could not belive how much dirt can build on windows in just a few months. So nice looking out windows that are clean and bright. Trying to get all outside stuff done before its gets cold. Last few days its been kinda chilly you can feel the crisp in there air, I love fall air. But it will be winter before we know it. But I am enjoying fall for now, so thought I make a super fast card. I do mean fast it took me 10 mins total. Its a small card just for a quick note. I made this using all scrap papers.

Cricut sales!

This week two stores have cricut carts on sale at Joanne's full content carts for 29.99 normal 89.00 they also have paper 5/1.00 . If you don't have a Joannes near you or rather shop at Michael's they have carts on sale as well for 34.99 when I was in my local Michael's last weekend they had some cricut carts for 19.99 but they had been picked over. I myself wont be getting any :( still on my debt diet. But that is okaycause I am happy for what I do have. Well off to get more stuff done. Thanks for looking.

Feel bad I have been MIA

Well I just wanted to say I am very sorry I have not made new post in forever, I have been going through a ruff patch last few weeks. Have not crafted in a few weeks now I just had no desire to. With the new fall season I always get a little blue but this year its been worse. We have alot personally going on but I am trying to get myself in a better place. Life goes on and you just have to deal with what life throws at you and keep going. So I am going to lean back into crafting by getting my scrap room finished. Since we moved in my scrap storage has pretty much been in the same place since its a two man moving job and he stays busy. So my goal is to finally get it to where we have room for the guest air bed and have lots of room for his mom to move around. She walks with crutches so she needs extra room to move around. I feel bad when I did not get it complete and she has trouble getting around. So today I am working on a floor plan. I made a scale floor plan cause I don't want us to have to move everything I have a 100 times. Also going to get some new storage I got in place. We went to a yard sale last Saturday and I found two shelving cases I have been looking for.

There really tall! There skinny but soon as I seen them I thought of it would be perfect for my cricut carts I have. And I got both for 14.00 thought that was a pretty good deal. So we will see how that works out if not I can use it else where. When I get done with the room I am going to reward myself with a fold up table I can keep in the room instead of going back and forth from my office where I have my back up scrap book desk so when we have company I can still craft. I want to make it where I craft in there but I can fold it up and put away when we have over night guest. So check back Monday I hope to have the room done and will post photos. Thanks for staying with me I hope none of you think I am giving up on my blog or crafting, I have not. I love crafting just sometimes when you are going through stuff you don't even want to do what you love. But I will be crafting very soon again have birthdays coming up.
