Pooh Card with Cricut

I made this birthday card for a friend of mine using my cricut. It the sample project right out of the booklet. I'll give this to her this weekend along with some Classic Pooh figurines from Royal Doulton. She's sure to love it.

Spa Getaway

What a wonderful time! This past weekend, Vickie and I went to VA Beach for a spa weekend at the Founders Inn. Our 2-night stay included 50 minute Swedish massages. We dressed in fluffy robes and slippers and lounged in a waiting area. I almost panicked when my masseuse turned out to be a man! He was very professional and I managed to relax to the point that it didn’t matter. On Saturday we laid out by the pool, had our massages, gave ourselves mini pedicures, found a yummy local restaurant called “Mom’s”, and watched Pretty Woman on TV. We had time to chat and visit. It was glorious!! Don’t we look relaxed?

Craft Room: Before & After

Well, it took about 3 weeks but I finally reorganized my craft room. I've been wanting to do it for a while but needed a break in our hectic schedule and a stretch where we didn't have any houseguests. I had to move practically everything out into the guest rooms, then do some painting, then move everything back in a new arrangement.

I had several problems to overcome: better access to electrical outlets, putting the Cricut near the computer, keeping the supplies for my various hobbies together (needlework, beading, and scrapbooking), and knowing where everything is with labels and more organized storage.

See before and after pictures below. I like this so much better!
