My favorite crafting tools!

I love paper crafting! This includes making cards, gift bags, altered projects of any kind and of course scrap booking. The latter I have not done in quite some time. I thought I would share my 3 favorite must have tools
My number one favorite craft item is the Cricut Expressions and the Cricut. The Expressions I just got for Christmas and with the move and problems with the mat I have not had much of a chance to create with it. I have had the Cricut for almost 2 years and I love it. The Expressions does everything the Cricut will but larger. You can create image up to 24 inches as compared to the 5.5.

Next we have the Crop a dile and purple is a must! Again I just received this for Christmas but I have used it several times. It is very easy to use when setting eyelets and snaps.

Last, but definitely not least is the Cuttle bug. This Little gadget is super easy to use and works well for embossing. You can even use the Fiskars textures plates in it. No more light box and Stylus necessary for embossing when you have this gadget!
You can view some of my finished projects by clicking on the title of this post. It should direct you to my picasa album.

Exhausting

If I could thing of one word that would best describe moving then exhausting is the perfect one. Of course when we move 3 times in 15 months you think it would get easier each time. Let me tell you it doesn't. Of course we have managed to get rid of a lot of stuff that has accumulated over the years. Stuff we didn't really didn't need anymore but held on to anyway. A week ago yesterday we moved from Lehi to Eagle Mountain. I am hoping this is our last move for a few years. While it is nice to experience different areas it gets tiring packing and unpacking just in time to pack again. Then comes the task of trying to set everything up and put every thing away. Of course Jared was out of town for a week so nothing got done. At least the important stuff was taken care of before he left. Like the Internet and the satellite. It didn't help much that some how in the move the our home computer got broken. At least I was able to work from home that week. For a minute we thought I would be taking the computer to my mom and dad's and going down there everyday. It wasn't a bad idea as I enjoy being with them. I just wasn't looking forward to the drive one bit. Jared did make it home and was able to fix the home computer so I was able to get this blog up and running. After spending all day Saturday on it. I think I got it figured out. Now to see if I can get my parents blogging too!

I have a blog

This might be a case of everyone is blogging so I need to try it. Actually I have been trying for sometime to get this off the ground. However I have had a serious case of computer issues and they have just now been resolved. So here is the 1st entry into my newly created blog. I hope you enjoy it.
