I started this blog for the purpose of sharing my Disney vacation with family and friends. I knew when that was over that I would have to decide whether or not to continue with the blog, and if I continued with it, what would I talk about. I'm still wondering.
I am a sucker for infomercials. Jamie used to joke that we are a testing site for As Seen On TV items. We have, or have had at one time: The Nicer Dicer (which I love), Tony Little's Gazelle, The Ab Rocket, The Ab Roller, Jump Snap, Thigh Master, George Foreman Grill, The LePresse, Hercules Hooks, The Handy Switch, Stick-up Lights, OxyClean, Smooth Away, Bump-it, Strap Perfect, FoodSaver, Tae-bo, Gel Toe Separaters (these are Lindsey's), Heeltastic, Topsy-Tail. I could go on, but you get the idea. For the record, I do not own a Snuggie.
True to form, just before my trip I saw an infomercial for the Cricut Expression, which is apparently a must-have for scrapbooking and cardmaking. I don't scrapbook and I'm pathetic when it comes to sending cards, but -- you guessed it -- I now own a Cricut.
I've been consumed with reading websites and blogs on paper crafting trying to find some inspiration. There's plenty of it out there. There are some amazing crafters in this world. I, however, am not one of them. It's kind of hard to believe because there isn't a craft that my mother can't do. She sews, she draws, she paints, she quilts, she decorates cakes. Seriously -- she can do anything with her hands.
One Cricut expert on the web recommends that you "think like a Cricut." I'm not entirely sure what that means, but I'm gonna run with it. I am going to work on thinking like a Cricut.
Lindsey and I decided last night that we would try making vinyl wall art, which you can easily cut with the Cricut. We picked a Walt Disney quote and transferred the words onto one of our walls. "If you can dream it, you can do it." That sort of seems to go hand-in-hand with thinking like a Cricut. We'll see how this all works out.
