LDS New Beginnings Night

I am a leader of the Young Women in our ward at church. Every year we have an event called New Beginnings. On this night we introduce any girls who are turning 12 over the next year to our program. This year we focused on wonderful women of the old testiment. So I thought I would show the blogging world the invitations I made. Yes, I used my silhouette cutter. I wanted something simple and elegant to celebrate womenhood throughout time. Hope you like it. I also made posters to introduce each girl turning 12 to the other girls. They were very last minute, hurry, hurry because I've been crazy busy, but I hope you like them.
ps- I am totally failing at blogging. I just have hard time downloading pictures. And can't figure out how to turn them in the program I am transfering them from. Please ignore my total incompantance. It makes me not want to blog but I hate the computer beating me. I will prevail!!

Silhouette addict??

Ok It is now 1:23 AM...yes AM. Still Monday in my head! Anyway, I am laying on my bed trying to be quiet so I don't wake my hubby. Am I going to sleep like a normal person? No I am not. I am checking the Silhouette store to see if anyone else loaded new cutter files today. And there was new ones that weren't there earlier today! Every Monday new files are put on the site for sale. Lots are put on Monday but sometimes throughout the week and they are put up by different artist at different times. So I like a crazy women check them a few times Monday and then periodically throughout the week. I have the unlimited download option where you pay a monthly fee. So therefore I MUST download everything even if I'll never need it...because I might one day. I know I have serious issues. It is not like I am even cutting stuff out everyday so why must I have the files the as fast as they are put online. I already have over 5000 files. It is so crazy. So tonight as I was on the site a few minutes ago I realized it is time to admit I have a problem and maybe seek help. Call craftaholics?? Start a 12 step program? I wonder if they have that? I'll search online as soon as I check the Silhouette site one more time...

Magnets decorated with Silhouette cutter shapes.

While watching TV the other night I quickly cut out a few Silhouette shapes in vinyl to decorate cheap Ikea magnets. I really like them and am excited to use them. My family can't keep their hands off them so I think they are a hit. I really like the alien guy...super cute. All designs are from Silhouette America.
p.s.-Anyone know how to turn pictures on here?

Day 1

Why am I blogging?
There are many reasons for this blog. Mainly...all my friends are doing it. How teenager-ish. I'm such a grown-up.
Every day I love to look at my silhouette craft cutter blogs. I love them but hate how they are all "somebodies" in the crafting world. They also all share their stuff on each others pages and I want MORE. So now I'm going to add my stuff. I am not a professional. I am just a stay at home mom who makes ok crafting stuff. But bottom line it makes me really happy. I hope you enjoy the stuff I make.
Last night I made a purse with my silhouette machine and pattern from the Silhouette company. I blinged it with some garage sale find beads and now I making a cute card and maybe a tag to go with it. I was suppose to be doing it now but started a blog instead...typical. I am hoping to post pictures later because again I am out of time. I am planning to figure out how to do that and post them tonight.
