Simple card and product review

So my boyfriend is always complaining about how I "love" pinterest more than him... well what can I say? (haha) He is a special education major here at A&M and he was starting one of his placements at an elementary school. He got sick, which always seems to happen when you spend a lot of time with little ones. I am always looking for an excuse to craft and pull out the cricut so I decided I would make him a simple get well card. It turned out kinda girly, but he didn't care. The longest part of making the card was definitely picking out the colors. I mean it was sooo easy! The owl is cut out of create a critter cartridge at 3.5 inches. 

So I recently won tickets to go see a performance of Unsinkable Ladies, stories from the Titanic. This was a really different show, a one-woman show. I really enjoyed it though. I thought that I would post pictures of the "hair clips" that I used to fix my hair with. If you are looking for a really easy and simple way to curl your hair these are excellent! You just plug them in, twist your hair up in pin curls and then clip them. The clips have ceramic plates in them and that is how they curl your hair. You just wait like 10 minutes for them to cool then unclip! This is a link to the topstyler website http://www.topstyl er.com/howto.html  and this is what they look like

  Here are my results 

Easter Goodies

Since this is just a baby blog, I figured that I would post the pictures of my easter goodies that I made for some very special people. In all I made 10 of these babies and it was so much fun. I got the idea from pinterest (who would have guessed) and adapted it to what I liked. I will be doing this same type of idea for future projects. 

Items Used

• small clear solo cup
• medium clear cello bags
• green easter grass
• assorted easter candy (stuff that I liked minus the peep)
• peep to sit in the middle
• cute ribbon to tie it off
• easter bunny from cricut

First I used my cricut to cut out my bunnies from the Create-A-Critter cartridge. I decided to use all of the layers and the shadow feature so that I could stamp on the back of the bunny. I then put the easter grass down and filled it with the different types of candy. I put the peep on top of the pile and wrapped it up in the cello bag. The last thing to do was to tie it off and add the bunny. Didn't they turn out cute? :)
