Anxiously awaiting

I've been without good internet access and a good computer at my house, so I've had plenty of time to make new cards. Only problem is that I cannot upload them. :( How sad. My computer part is still in the mail somewhere, but hopefully it will be here soon so I can share some stuff!

Also, last week I ordered a scrap shelf from Chandler's Creations. I have tons of other organizers for my supplies, but honestly it's not working for me so I took the plunge and bought one of the bigger pieces. I spoke with Betty there (via email) and she answered my question quickly and has been very nice. Now all I have to do is wait. It is due on Monday, so this weekend will be fun as I clear out the spot where this will go. Still not sure where my Bug will go, but I have no doubt I will find him a good spot!

Fly Lady

Signed up for flylady.net today. My house is a mess and I am hoping that I can get some inspiration and tips from this site to get things in their proper order. Tonight my task is to get a 3 ring binder to start my journal. No doubt I will decorate it with my cricut. That's productive towards cleaning, right..... ?

Cricut Lite

At lunch today I happened to go to Walmart to pick up a few things. Of course I had to go to the scrap section, and upon getting there, I found it was nearly empty. Seems they are getting new stuff in. I got a few Cricut markers and then some stickers. But the big thing I found was new Cricut cartridges.

They are called Cricut Lite. I didn't buy any at the time since I figured I could find them online for cheaper than the $39 they were selling for. When I got back to work, I couldn't find ANYthing about these carts, so I posted to the message boards to see if the peas knew anything about it. A few had, but seems most were curious as to what they were.

I stopped at the Walmart near my house on the way home and they had nothing. Well... ok I got some replacement mats. At about 930 I went to yet another Walmart and the lady there was just putting them out. I waited a while, then checked them out. The lady was kind of suspicious that I was standing there taking pictures, so I didn't get as many as I'd hoped.

I'm not too crazy about the $39 price, but I got the Hoot 'n' Holler one anyway. It seemed like it would make some cute cards.

Here's a few of the photos my friend and I got of the carts: Enjoy!

Bug Bites!

Wow, it's been a long time since I've posted here. I really need to keep up with this better.

I've been making a ton of cards still for OWH and collected some Any Hero letters at a car show a few weekends ago. Also wrote several while I sat there. It seems like once you write that first one, it's pretty easy to write more. Here's a photo of me at the booth.

Also a few weeks ago, I got a Cricut! Finally! I'd talked about it for over a year and finally bit the bullet and got the big bug. Love it to pieces! Bought Create a Critter the same day and I love that almost as much :)

At first I didn't like many of the cartridges, but found a bunch on sale for $25 each and so now I have 15! Just waiting for them to get here.

Here's a card that I made with Create a Critter:

I used some random alpha paper from an old DCWV stack for the background and then inked it to give it that little extra. I think the dino was cut at 3". Seems to be a good size if that is the main thing on the front of the card. Gonna have too much fun making cards with this cart!

Not much else to say other than my best friend and I are going to the Great American Scrapbook Convention in Arlington, TX this weekend. Just to shop - not to take classes or anything, but it should be tons of fun! We cannot wait :)
