Hello!

I didn't mean to go missing on you. I have been "playing" with a sore throat and related inconveniences since the day after Thanksgiving which has made me less productive. I actually had to take two days of of school because I had zero voice and Jim said I was just being ridiculous to go in. :)

My Cricut machine arrived saftely to my house last week and to say it is love might be an understatement! You might be thinking that the Cricut is a little bit scrapbooky for my usual art but 1) oh the classroom decoration that can be done and 2) just wait 'til you see the ideas I have! Plus I love to make albums for Buffy's family.

I took a great class at Scrapbooks Etc. last weekend with Sandee called Cricut 101 that taught how to use all of the cool features on the machine. At $12 with my montly discount it was a steal and great motivation too!

Here are a few things I made this week for my clasroom. First for my calendar the December label. (The flags have been in my room for a few years just giving them a new twist. :)



Cute window decorations.



And best of all I cut these cute 3-D tree patterns to use with my kids next week for those of them that are done with their before break work! I can't tell you how happy I was no to have to ust thenm all out myself!



More Cricut coolness on it's way!
