I got a Cricut baby bug for Christmas! I'm excited to join in some challenges to help me get the most out of my new machine even though I have just the basic cartridge so far.
Santa was very good to me. I got a electric scissor sharpener, 3 sets of cutting files from SVGCUTS.COM, lots of new rubber and clear stamps, patterned paper, copic markers and flower embellishments. Now if I can just find the energy to use them....
My husband made me a card on our new Cricut all by himself. It was adorable and going into my scrapbook. Oh yea, he also placed a $100 bill in it for me to go Scrapbook shopping! I will be buying a Cuttlebug & some embossing folders & several DCWV Matt stacks.
My craft goal for 2011 is to start one project at a time. I tend to start multiple things and then have a hard time getting them all done, in a way I am really happy with!
WOW this was an amazing Christmas for me. In the non-material category my gift was from my grandson who is 21. He hosted a spaghetti supper the night before we celebrated Christmas in his own apartment and then on the day we celebrated Christmas he hosted that meal as well. His mom, siblings and grandfather and myself. In the material category I received a new computer with tons of memory, a convection toaster oven and several Martha Stewart punches. Talk about being blessed. Yes I was. Myrna
pajamas were my favorite gift this year...resoulution ?= to play with my cricut every week....to use every cut on each of my cartridges...so much paper, great carts and so little time...2011 will be different!!
I got a GYPSY and a new CRICUT EXPRESSION from my wonderful husband...and a stocking full of new mats, new blades and adhesives of all sorts...a man who knows how to make his wife very happy!!!! Wishing everyone a blessed new year....oh..we had Christmas yorky pups!!!!
I had a wonderful Christmas with all my kids and grandkids. Unfortunately, I didn't get anything craft related so I went on Ebay and bought myself 3 new cricut carts!!! My new years resolution is to use every one of my 80 cartridges atleast once!!! Carrie carriedan1 at live dot com
For Christmas I received money so that in January I will finally be able to get a cricut still debating on the expression or imagine (advice on preference is welcome).
My New Year's resoluation is to scrap more projects and cards, participate in challenges, get more organized (full-time mom, wife, student and employee) and to learn 4 new things...like scuba diving.
Slim pickins here but we took care of the grandbabies and I got to see their smiling faces, and that made mine!! New Years, try to craft more outside my comfort zone, try different things!!Looking forward to a New Year!!
I received lots of great goodies for Christmas but only one cartridge (Live Simply). I can't wait to start playing with it! My resolution is to be up to date on my scrapbooks.
Santa was so goog to me as always. I got a pretty new expression and 20 pairs of socks. My New Years Resolution is to use a different cartridge everry week and sometimes two so each one get used at least once.
DH and I don't exchange giftsm, we save our money for the kids, but my mom and mother in law stocked my little craft area. I have a new Cuttlebug with 4 folders, the Storybook cartridge and the Disney mega pack of paper. I have no excuse to not get some scrapbook pages done this year, especially my Disney ones!
My New Year's resolution is to complete one paper project per week, whether that be a card, scrapbook layout or whatever else may inspire me!
I didn't receive anything crafting related this year but usually if I want something I go get it. I did get lots of gift cards to the home improvement store so that we can finish the remodel on our main bathroom. Yeah, that will be my present! New Year's Resolution is actually more of a mandate for me. My oldest child is graduating high school in May. My focus will be on all those darn pages that never got done and getting invites made once they give us a sample of the turquoise they are using as a class color.
it wasnt such a great christmas didnt get to share with my granddaughters. as far as gifts that was great lots lots of paper and ten cartriages, mats, embossing folders and lots of little gifts from my dear blogging friends. thanks for keeping me going at this terrible time.
I got some of the Cricut markers for my Dec. 23 birthday from my sister. I'm hoping my Calligraphy Collection cart will be more useful with the markers, as it has been nearly impossible to cut. My crafty goals? Just keeping up with my cardmaking and scrapbooking.
My boyfriend and son were very good to me this year; they got me the Cricut Expression (plum). This allowed me to give my Cricut to my sister. My New Year's resolution is to spend more time crafting, using my own style and not worrying about what everyone else thinks of it.
OMG! I got LOTS of scrapping stuff. I got 10 new distress ink pads all different colors, a package of stickles, DCWV Winter Wonder Stack of paper, 2 sizzix embossing folders by Basic Grey, Ranger Ink blending foam pads, 11 spools of ribbon which was all from family members. My husband and daughter got me the package of 4 Mini Monsters Cuttlebug folders and 2 Ribbon and Accessories Organizes for my scraproom. I am VERY blessed.
Well I am just starting a craft room so I got organizing cubes and Michaels gift cards and a free class at one of the CK conventions. Thanks for asking
I got a Cuttlebug, embossing folders, Cricut mats & blades, tape glider and refills, paper, Cricut cartridges, and a gift card to Michaels. I can't wait to start creating!
My hubby got me The Imagine, charms for my pandora bracelet and a case/charger for my Iphone, from the doctor I work with got $100 so I when on Ebay got carts for my Imagine. Also got gift cards to Michaels.. wahoo more shopping.. My best gift was.. my sons smile they are teens hard to capture that sometimes. Resolution... try to make one project a week, especially try to use the tons of cart I have, and learn the imagine.
My DH got me an E bundled with the your story, A gypsy, new cell phone, new hd video camcorder and last but not least, a kindle! I don't know what I did but it must have been something right! LOL
We had a wonderful Christmas. I got a plum cricut and 5 cartridges for Christmas. Now for that resolution - thats to trim down on the spending, especially the "scrap" spending for the upcoming year!
WOW! Some of you ladies were REALLY LUCKY!! Although it is not craft related, my husband bought me a Pandora bracelet with a few charms! I absolutely LOVE it!!
Slim pickings here at our house too. No gifts for the adults, but I made some awesome stuff for my 6 year old daughter and my 7 month old grandson. My two grown-up kids received homemade ice cream toppings -- fudge, praline & caramel sauces. My gift was seeing the joy the little ones faces!
Once again, I was spoiled by my hubby! I got some pink by design stamps, peachy keen everyday character face stamps, wii fit plus, new waders and boots for fly fishing (now I wont freeze my feet in the river!), a new ice tea maker and wii chicken blaster (this one was for me and my son!!!). My new years resolution is to make a bunch of stuff to sell in a craft show in the fall at my mil's. Thanks for a wonderful year of fun challenges and lots of inspiration. Happy New Year to everyone!!
I had a great Christmas. We got snow!! It was my first white Christmas. We do not see much snow in central Alabama, so it was real special. I really do not make new years resolutions. They are too hard to keep.
I must have been good. A teal cricut Expression, blender (yeah smooties again), stamping goodies, yak trackers, External hard drive, and a new popcorn popper.
no money for adults for christmas gifts this year (hubby is disabled and has been very ill) but my son and i went in together and bought a used cricut create for my step-daughter's youngest daughter. we haven't given it to her yet but we know she will be thrilled. she was really enjoying working with me and my cricut to make gifts for her friends.
new year's resolution... to make more cards for next year by starting earlier.
I don't get much for Christmas, but my daughter had a blast & I love to see that! For next year, I plan to continue to market my business & work toward not working for someone else!
We're trying to get out of debt, so my husband and I didn't exchange gifts this year. However, I did receive money from other family members to buy what I wanted. Now to decide.....thinking a binding machine of some sort (not sure which one) and some new carts. My goal for the new year is to keep my craft area cleaned and organized and to make more cards and gifts to encourage and bless others.
Santa brought me an Expression. But the best present was being able to be together with my children, both of my siblings, my parents, and my niece and nephew. It isn't often that we are all able to be in the same place at the Holidays. We had a wonderful time! Looking forward to 2011 and seeing all the crafty things that are created!
I got a few new carts (Old West, Block Party) and a WHOLE buch of paper. My crafty resolution is to finish my husbands Army book. He has been in 4 years so it is a long time coming!!
I have a great hubby that understands that I just need to get my own things so I received a gift card to HL and $200 to buy whatever I might like to have. Thinking of getting a starter set of Copics with it. And I bought myself a cricut cart and stuck it in my stocking.
I would like to make a Christmas project every month, make cards for my Ladies Bible Class to be sent out to those who need a pick me up, and make at least 3 minis this year. I think that it may be possible!!!
My crafty New Years resolution is to take more time for me and spend it in my craft room. I want to try some different techniques and ideas. Thanks for the chance to win.
I received 3 new cartridges (Nifty Fifties, Birthday Bash, and Wrap it Up, a bunch of embossing folders, buttons, embellishments, and a Fossil wallet (not that I have any money left to put in it).
My goals are: to meet some new crafty people, make more cards for friends and family, and to get published.
Happy New Year, Georgiana http://carsonscricutcreations.blogspot.com/
I have been so blessed this year!! I watch children in my home and between my birthday and Christmas, my daycare families bought me about $100 in giftcards to all of the local craft stores in my area!!!!! I also got a couple gift cards to some restaurants, an ice cream maker, a new printer with a Reese Cup candy bar taped to the top (with electrical tape) from my hubby!!!:), a necklace and earring set from my son, some scrapbook paper, a candle, and a snowman and Christmas card holder. I feel so fortunate to have all these blessings!! One of my New Year's resolutions will be to do a layout or card at least once a week!! I go through spells where all I do is scrap and craft and then with everything else going around I take a long break from it. I need to do something at least once a week. It is my relaxation when I craft and I need to make sure that I have it at least once a week! Hugs, Stephanie
Christmas was so much crafty fun! I got 10 new cartridges from my husband, replacement mats and blades, 3 scrappy mom's stamp sets, the latest DCWV Ultimate Stack, a deep blade housing and a ribbon holder! Did I mention the clothes, perfume, makeup, gift cards and an Ipod?? I love my husband!!!
I have been so blessed this year!!! I received about $100 in giftcards to my favorite craft stores from my clients, a new printer with a Reese Cup candy bar taped with electrical tape to the top from my hubby :), a new camera from his as well, some gift cards to restaurants, an ice cream maker, a necklace and earring set from my son (which he used part of his giftcard from Christmas to buy :)), a snowman and Christmas card holder, some scrapbook paper, a candle and some yummy cookies and treats! One of my New Year's resolutions is to do something either a layout or card or some craft each week. I really enjoy crafting - mostly doing anything with my Cricut and paper. I need to set time aside each week to do that. I usually go in spurts. I'll work on stuff a lot and then I won't do anything for a period and back and forth. I need to just set some time aside each week to get some things done and allow the time for me to relax!! I hope everyone has a Very Happy Healthy New Year!! Hugs, Stephanie
I got an Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. But my hubby and I always get each other something after the new year for Christmas. This year I've asked him to get me some new rubber stamps.
I got a GYPSY and a 2 CRICUT cartridges from my wonderful husband...we draw names my daughter gave me a gift card so I bought the Sizzix Texture Boutique, and 20 folders (OH what we can buy with Coupons "I'm the coupon Queen") got it all for under $75.00. My New Year's resoluation is to get my web site up and running (need to learn how to put in a shopping cart)& make one or more new designs each month.
Rebecca Minor buzzybeedesigns(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Thanks for a change to win I love this web site
I got two Cricut Lite cartridges, a mini glue gun / stand / glue sticks, some googly eyes, and the Encyclopedia of Scrapbooking. VERY FUN! :-) My resolution is to start and stay current on my 2011 scrapbook... while hopefully starting / finishing my 2010 book, too!
I had DH give me two new carts, Happy Hauntings and Heritage plus many other goodies. This year one of my main goals will be to USE all of my 30 carts and not go ga-ga over everything "new". And devote at least part of two days a week to scrapping and paper crafting. Thanks for the nudge to get my goals into words
Omg it was an AWESOME Christmas!!!! I got from my kitchen, my pink stamper stamps, Martha Stewart punches and a GYPSY!!!! What could be bettter than that?!?! (;
My crafty new years resolution is to make a design team for the very first time, and to organize my messy craft room!! (:
Thanks for th awesome chance to win from this fabulous store!! Donna S pdcg@comcast.net
Santa was really good to me this year. I got a book deal, a Peppermint Expression, a Cricut Cruise and lots and lots of new friends on my website www.creativecutter.org On the non-material side-I made some life long crafty friends that have really touched my heart this year. I've decided Crafting is not just a hobby but a way to look at life. Happy New Year's wishes to all. Cathie Rigby
Christmas was great I'm easy gift cards and money for crafts what else??? also I want to get back to finishing my scrapbooks and as always use what I have and buy less..
Santa (how did he ever know?) stuffed my stocking with stickers, a punch, other good things for scrapping! What a sweetie! New Year's Resolution - scrap more, eat less!
I got some wonderful stuff! My mother-in-law gave me an absolutely beautiful quilt she had made. My husband gave me a glider rocker (my first piece of furniture for our new living room). My mother gave me this 2 foot tall stuffed penguin. My brother gave me a CD of my favorite band and a gift certificate. Hope everyone got all they wished for...and more! :)
Well my hubby got me the pink cricut expression, and my daughter got me two cricut lite carts and I got some money so I ended up getting a bind-it-all machine with the wire and three more carts. Yay! I think I had a good christmas. This year I want to spend less but I don't know how that will go.
My wonderful husband gave me a new notebook, so I can follow my blogs from anywhere now. I love it. I think my New Years resolution will be to make more time to try some new ideas I get for scrapbooking. Bertha bettyrocks30@yahoo.com
The scrappy items I received were two new Cricut cartridges - Birthdah Bash and Nifty Fifties. Plus a corner chomper, Tim Holtz tiny attacher, and an Archivers' gift card.
I spent Christmas with my family. My daugther got 2 carts(From my kitchin and Wall Decor), my brother got me Twinkle Toes and Simply Charmed. My daugther also got me one of cases of my gypsy. Very happy with what I got. I plan this year to experiment with a few more crafts. Attempt to use my Yudu. I tried it and cant get it yet. Will see.
My DH surprised me with an iPad... and I didn't even know that I NEEDED one! It has taken me a couple of days to get used to it, but now I love it so! What an awesome hubby I have!
My family received the best gifts, HEALTH and HAPPINESS! My New Year's resoluation is to complete old scrapbooks and try to become a Design team member on a couple more challenges and of course have a blast at doing it!!
I had a great Christmas- went to Las Vegas for a week before Christmas to visit my daughter and then spent the rest of the time at home with the rest of the family. As far as craft gifts- well I been buying so much stuff thru out the year I don't really need to much more- but I did get the new Page Maps #2 book and a few more gift cards to go buy more paper (which I really don't need either) but love to get all the new stuff. My goals for 2011 are to do 365 page layouts, tryout for a design team member or guest this spring/summer and keep my scraproom organized as I work.
My wonderful DH bought me a new camera that I really wanted and I received lots of fun goodies for crafting. My New Years resolution is to clean up my scrap room right away when I am done with a project. I hate when I am not organized.
50 States and Create a Critter were two of my favorite gifts. I also got a new set of Nestabilities. My new year goal is to have cards made in advance! I made 16 yesterday and will make more today, so far off to a great start before January 1! :-)
I received a gypsy and have had a blast playing around with it.
As for New Years I am going to try and use Ali Edwards' word for the year and my word is going to be 'simplify'. If I can simplify life a little I hope to have more time to create, either by myself or with my children.
I am hoping to learn how to make really nice cards in the New Year and to use Copics properly. For Christmas, I received a beautiful stainless tea pot with a cozy! Happy New Year!
I got a GPS system from my hubby, but I bought myself 5 cartridges on Black Friday that I've been wanting. Birthday is just 21 days away and hoping for a Your Story!
Well Yay..I finally got my cricut Expression..Have been jealous of all you cricutters for so long now and am able to finally join the ranks..merry Christmas and Happy holidays to you all.
I bought my own crafty gift - the new lites at Walmart and about 5 other cartridges on my list. My favorite gift would be the new Food Network pots and pans from my parents and my sister got me some exercise shoes that are fantabulous.
For me the best present was having my eldest 21 year old son home from Afghanistan in time for Christmas. What more could a mother ask for eh!! Happy New Year to you all. Kim xXx
I got lots of cricut cartridges and 12x12 cutting mats! That ALWAYS makes me happy!!This year my crafty goal is to do at least one challenge and one home decor craft per month :)
My mom surprised me with a new Nikon Digital Camera!! I was joking and told her "I want this" as I pointed to a Nikon in a sale flyer... Was I SURPRISED when I actually got a camera Christmas Day!! :D It was a good thing, too... I dropped my old camera the night before. lol
I had a great Christmas at home with my mom, dad, and brother. But my oldest brother was missing. He is serving in the US Navy. The best present I got was a phone call from him:) It cheered up the entire family:) ~Madison www.funkcyards.blogspot.com
I received a Gypsy :) and a desk so after I organize, I will be in craft heaven. My goal is to do more scrapbooking. Preserve the memories while they're still fresh in my head :)
Happy New Year :) I was so blessed to get an Expression for Christmas. It was supposed to be the regular one but Walmart could not get it off the truck. So I got the new Blue one instead! My crafty New Years Resolution is to Use my Designer calendar cart and make a memory book of the whole year :)
Wow, what a Christmas!!! Life, good health and the love of family and good friends. On the material side, no crafty items here as I really need to use what I have:-)Anyhoo, I guess I was really good cause I got a NookColor, a Karaoke Machine, a Magic Bullet, jewellery, clothing cosmetics and the BEST gift of all,a scrapbook from my sister-friend commemorating our 19 years of friendship.
As for my new years resolution(s) I must use the many new and unused items that are already in my scrapbooking stash instead of buying more and also to do a better job of keeping my blog up to date. http://scrapsandscrapability.blogspot.com
I got a pretty great amount. My favorites were ATG, MPS stamps, PK Stamps and Twinkle toes Cartridge. Can't wait to play. Oh and some how, I am not sure how, but both rolls of my ATG were used before Christmas. My husband had to buy more so it could be wrapped. LOL
Oh I got lots of scrappin goodies this year for Christmas, like: MY CRICUT EXPRESSION!!!! Yay! And some new fonts plus an I-Rock tool! That's why my scrapin resolution is to make more more more! And to make many more blog posts! Thank you! Lisa summer_sunset54 @ hotmail dot com

Slim pickings here at our house too. No gifts for the adults, but I made some awesome stuff for my 6 year old daughter and my 7 month old grandson. My two grown-up kids received homemade ice cream toppings -- fudge, praline & caramel sauces. My gift was seeing the joy the little ones faces!
ReplyDeleteI had a great Christmas and felt spoiled after receiving two cricut cartridges and tons of paper!
ReplyDeleteI got a green expression, 2 cartridges+ the 2 that came with the E.
ReplyDeleteOnce again, I was spoiled by my hubby! I got some pink by design stamps, peachy keen everyday character face stamps, wii fit plus, new waders and boots for fly fishing (now I wont freeze my feet in the river!), a new ice tea maker and wii chicken blaster (this one was for me and my son!!!). My new years resolution is to make a bunch of stuff to sell in a craft show in the fall at my mil's. Thanks for a wonderful year of fun challenges and lots of inspiration. Happy New Year to everyone!!
ReplyDeleteI was very blessed this Christmas. Between all of my family I got 6 cartridges, some MPS stamps, and Stickles (I love Stickles!).
ReplyDeleteFor my New Years Resolution, I want to start actually scrap-booking. I do allot of home decor and cards but haven't gotten into that realm much.

I had a great Christmas. We got snow!! It was my first white Christmas. We do not see much snow in central Alabama, so it was real special. I really do not make new years resolutions. They are too hard to keep.
ReplyDeleteI must have been good. A teal cricut Expression, blender (yeah smooties again), stamping goodies, yak trackers, External hard drive, and a new popcorn popper.
ReplyDeleteno money for adults for christmas gifts this year (hubby is disabled and has been very ill) but my son and i went in together and bought a used cricut create for my step-daughter's youngest daughter. we haven't given it to her yet but we know she will be thrilled. she was really enjoying working with me and my cricut to make gifts for her friends.
ReplyDeletenew year's resolution... to make more cards for next year by starting earlier.
I don't get much for Christmas, but my daughter had a blast & I love to see that! For next year, I plan to continue to market my business & work toward not working for someone else!
ReplyDeleteWe're trying to get out of debt, so my husband and I didn't exchange gifts this year. However, I did receive money from other family members to buy what I wanted. Now to decide.....thinking a binding machine of some sort (not sure which one) and some new carts. My goal for the new year is to keep my craft area cleaned and organized and to make more cards and gifts to encourage and bless others.

Santa brought me an Expression. But the best present was being able to be together with my children, both of my siblings, my parents, and my niece and nephew. It isn't often that we are all able to be in the same place at the Holidays. We had a wonderful time! Looking forward to 2011 and seeing all the crafty things that are created!
ReplyDeleteI got a few new carts (Old West, Block Party) and a WHOLE buch of paper. My crafty resolution is to finish my husbands Army book. He has been in 4 years so it is a long time coming!!
ReplyDeleteI have a great hubby that understands that I just need to get my own things so I received a gift card to HL and $200 to buy whatever I might like to have. Thinking of getting a starter set of Copics with it. And I bought myself a cricut cart and stuck it in my stocking.
ReplyDeleteI would like to make a Christmas project every month, make cards for my Ladies Bible Class to be sent out to those who need a pick me up, and make at least 3 minis this year. I think that it may be possible!!!
My crafty New Years resolution is to take more time for me and spend it in my craft room. I want to try some different techniques and ideas. Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI was the lucky to get the yellow Cricut Expression! Can't wait to play with it!
ReplyDeleteI received 3 new cartridges (Nifty Fifties, Birthday Bash, and Wrap it Up, a bunch of embossing folders, buttons, embellishments, and a Fossil wallet (not that I have any money left to put in it).
ReplyDeleteMy goals are: to meet some new crafty people, make more cards for friends and family, and to get published.
Happy New Year,

I have been so blessed this year!! I watch children in my home and between my birthday and Christmas, my daycare families bought me about $100 in giftcards to all of the local craft stores in my area!!!!! I also got a couple gift cards to some restaurants, an ice cream maker, a new printer with a Reese Cup candy bar taped to the top (with electrical tape) from my hubby!!!:), a necklace and earring set from my son, some scrapbook paper, a candle, and a snowman and Christmas card holder. I feel so fortunate to have all these blessings!! One of my New Year's resolutions will be to do a layout or card at least once a week!! I go through spells where all I do is scrap and craft and then with everything else going around I take a long break from it. I need to do something at least once a week. It is my relaxation when I craft and I need to make sure that I have it at least once a week!

Christmas was so much crafty fun! I got 10 new cartridges from my husband, replacement mats and blades, 3 scrappy mom's stamp sets, the latest DCWV Ultimate Stack, a deep blade housing and a ribbon holder! Did I mention the clothes, perfume, makeup, gift cards and an Ipod?? I love my husband!!!
ReplyDeleteI have been so blessed this year!!! I received about $100 in giftcards to my favorite craft stores from my clients, a new printer with a Reese Cup candy bar taped with electrical tape to the top from my hubby :), a new camera from his as well, some gift cards to restaurants, an ice cream maker, a necklace and earring set from my son (which he used part of his giftcard from Christmas to buy :)), a snowman and Christmas card holder, some scrapbook paper, a candle and some yummy cookies and treats! One of my New Year's resolutions is to do something either a layout or card or some craft each week. I really enjoy crafting - mostly doing anything with my Cricut and paper. I need to set time aside each week to do that. I usually go in spurts. I'll work on stuff a lot and then I won't do anything for a period and back and forth. I need to just set some time aside each week to get some things done and allow the time for me to relax!! I hope everyone has a Very Happy Healthy New Year!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Stephanie
I was lucky enough to get the new Twinkle Toes and Four Legged Friends Lite carts! I am so excited and can't wait to play with them! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI got an Everyday Paper Dolls cartridge. But my hubby and I always get each other something after the new year for Christmas. This year I've asked him to get me some new rubber stamps.
ReplyDeleteI got a GYPSY and a 2 CRICUT cartridges from my wonderful husband...we draw names my daughter gave me a gift card so I bought the Sizzix Texture Boutique, and 20 folders (OH what we can buy with Coupons "I'm the coupon Queen") got it all for under $75.00.
ReplyDeleteMy New Year's resoluation is to get my web site up and running (need to learn how to put in a shopping cart)& make one or more new designs each month.

I had DH give me two new carts, Happy Hauntings and Heritage plus many other goodies.

Santa was really good to me this year. I got a book deal, a Peppermint Expression, a Cricut Cruise and lots and lots of new friends on my website www.creativecutter.org On the non-material side-I made some life long crafty friends that have really touched my heart this year. I've decided Crafting is not just a hobby but a way to look at life. Happy New Year's wishes to all. Cathie Rigby
ReplyDeleteChristmas was great I'm easy gift cards and money for crafts what else??? also I want to get back to finishing my scrapbooks and as always use what I have and buy less..

Well my hubby got me the pink cricut expression, and my daughter got me two cricut lite carts and I got some money so I ended up getting a bind-it-all machine with the wire and three more carts. Yay! I think I had a good christmas. This year I want to spend less but I don't know how that will go.
ReplyDeletececilialuevano@verizon.net
My wonderful husband gave me a new notebook, so I can follow my blogs from anywhere now. I love it. I think my New Years resolution will be to make more time to try some new ideas I get for scrapbooking.

Very happy with what I got. I plan this year to experiment with a few more crafts. Attempt to use my Yudu. I tried it and cant get it yet. Will see.
ReplyDeleteChristmas----wow! I was bombarded with scrapbook stuff (so not complaining!) I am so geeked to try out all my new carts and grunge paper!!!

ReplyDeleteI had a great Christmas- went to Las Vegas for a week before Christmas to visit my daughter and then spent the rest of the time at home with the rest of the family. As far as craft gifts- well I been buying so much stuff thru out the year I don't really need to much more- but I did get the new Page Maps #2 book and a few more gift cards to go buy more paper (which I really don't need either) but love to get all the new stuff. My goals for 2011 are to do 365 page layouts, tryout for a design team member or guest this spring/summer and keep my scraproom organized as I work.
ReplyDeleteMy wonderful DH bought me a new camera that I really wanted and I received lots of fun goodies for crafting. My New Years resolution is to clean up my scrap room right away when I am done with a project. I hate when I am not organized.

ReplyDeleteAs for New Years I am going to try and use Ali Edwards' word for the year and my word is going to be 'simplify'. If I can simplify life a little I hope to have more time to create, either by myself or with my children.
I am hoping to learn how to make really nice cards in the New Year and to use Copics properly. For Christmas, I received a beautiful stainless tea pot with a cozy!

ReplyDeleteAs for my new years resolution(s) I must use the many new and unused items that are already in my scrapbooking stash instead of buying more and also to do a better job of keeping my blog up to date. http://scrapsandscrapability.blogspot.com
I got a pretty great amount. My favorites were ATG, MPS stamps, PK Stamps and Twinkle toes Cartridge. Can't wait to play. Oh and some how, I am not sure how, but both rolls of my ATG were used before Christmas. My husband had to buy more so it could be wrapped. LOL
