The Most AWESOME Machine Ever!

Ok, Blog number Two!

So we got our income tax money and I decided to do a little splurging! I got the most awesome machine on the planet - The CRICUT Expressions! It slices it dices it even julieannes, ok you get the idea! Well, I have not had to much time to play with it yet, but I am cleaing out the art studio room and getting ready for a scrapbooking fest! I will be post ing pictures of some of the work as it gets done and I will also be offering letters in all shapes, sizes and colors for sale on www.paperhands.etsy.com when I get the time - so that people who do not have the machine can still get the look! I am also thinking about offering custom scrapbook page layouts! More blogs to come!

First Blog Experience....



Well, here we go - everyone kept telling us we needed a myspace account, so we created a joint one, then we needed a flickr account, and now we need a blog....We have decided that with Opening Day around the corner & the fact that we barely have time to check all the emails we get now, we will use a combined blog, especially since the main purpose of the blog is to keep friends, family and our ETSY peeps current on the happenings of our creativity and life in general. I am sure since I have more time at the old computer - I will be the one to primarily add content....but as Steven is his own person contrary to how it may sometime seem - he may want to add insight & antics as well from time to time, for this we will probably color code, but that remains to be seen. Yes, I know we are so mushy in love and we shouldn't still be after three years...blah, blah, blah"you two are joined at the hip, I can't figure out where one ends and the other begins" OK, we have heard this all before. I will say it here once, it is not a weird control or co-dependant thing, we just STILL ENJOY being with each other, & in today's world, we wish that were a praised fact not a flaw...As Steven said to me when he proposed "58 years to go" - so at 3 and counting, I hope it never changes!
