Plugging away

Ok Here is one of my enteries for the Challenge that Chris is running over on her blog. http://www.visualdesignsbychris.blogspot.com/

My bluewishblade is still awaiting the new blade assembly. I have no patience. I want things like snap your fingers and they are fixed. The good thing about my cricut, I can run to the local store and get blades and new mats. YEAH!!!!

Oh yes, back to the file this one I did with the grass border file, Since I am off work in the summers (except for a week I spend at a college, for classes that integrate the arts into the classroom) I am always snapping pictures of the wild life in our yard. Except for Jules my beautiful Poodle, All the animals in this layout made a quick visit to the yard. The bunnies in the pictures do tend to come more often, and the woodchuck seems to have made a home under my neighbors shed. I want to get better pictures of him but can't always grab my camera in time. Hope you enjoy. Nina

Fish stories file

Hi all here is a layout that I just finished using the Fish stories file by Chris Durnan.

After going out to dinner Steve and I took Robbie to Petco to get some new fish for the pond. We tricked Beth and Taylor into thinking we also bought a turtle. I took a photo and when they ask where in the pond the turtle was. I was like hmmm he must be under the water. Ha ha. Robbie started cracking up so they knew then we were playing a joke on them. We did buy two black mystery snails, and yep where they are in the pond is a Mystery....

OH, also a big Thanks to Chris for offering SCAL files, cause I am waiting on a new blade holder from Michelle at Paperthreads. Have a great evening Nina

OHHH I Want to Cry

My wishblade is on the blink again. Darn it.... I just ordered blade assembly from Paperthreads. I called xyron.. ha not alot of help from them.
I do have my cricut and Sure cuts a lot to fall back on. Thank God, cause I am photographing a wedding this weekend and I was making a scrapbook as a gift for the bride..

The other photo is of my DH on a class trip with Rob, when the school called and asked if they could take robs chair in the pool, hubby said Let me go on this trip.
