IT'S SNOWING

It WORKS

My replacement Imagine arrived yesterday and I got it set up today.  IT WORKS!!!! I didn't do any of the computer upgrades yet.  Thought I'd do them tomorrow.  Fingers crossed that it works after that if not I will probably sit and cry. 

2nd Imagine is Out for Delivery

My 2nd Imagine is out for delivery today.  Needless to say I'm not going out to get it.  I'll leave that job up to hubby (like I could do it anyways NOT).  Foot still swollen from surgery and can't get around on it.  This is getting SO OLD.  Can't wait to really play with the Imagine.  Praying this one works.

Imagine Update

My replacement Imagine has been shipped no date yet.  I'm thinking maybe Monday, November 1st.  Praying that this one is a keeper.  More later.

Imagine Returned to HSN

I had to return my Imagine to HSN.  It printed great but would not cut.  They have recieved it at HSN I'm now just waiting for my order status to change to "shipped".  Then I can track my new baby.  Hubby says I can't go out this time when the UPS man comes he will go out to get her.  I couldn't get it anyways would be hard to pick up with crutches.  Can't wait till it comes so I can really play with it.  I have so many things that I want to make with it.  And now it can be linked to my gypsy.  Come on HSN mail it already. 

Update on Imagine

I finally got out to the livingroom and had the chance to play with the Imagine.  It prints beautifully but it doesn't cut.  Go figure I get one that has to go back.  I wonder if anything else can go wrong.  So it's back to waiting.  Have to call PC on Monday or Tuesday so that I can send it back for a new one.

Update on Imagine

Sorry I haven't posted anything but I haven't been able to do anything.  I still haven't gotten a chance to play with my new Imagine.  I did have hubby buy me a rolling cart from Wal-Mart to put it on so that I could lay on couch and play.  Haven't felt well enough to move to the livingroom.  It is really painful to hang my leg down only for a short time.  Hopefully this week thou.  Seems where it has been 2 weeks today since they operated.  The cast is really painfully rubbing on the operations when it swells up (which it does alot).  I get it off Oct 19th can't wait. 

Imagine Arrived

Well my Imagine arrived on Monday, Sept. 20th and I haven't been able to play yet.  This is how my week went.  UPS man came at 1:00pm (he NEVER comes that early) I saw the truck driving off so looked out and there she was just sitting in the driveway OMG.  So I yelled for hubby to come help me and stepped out on the deck (to get the smaller box) twisted my left ankle and went to recover with my right foot.  DOWN I went.  When hubby came out I was sitting on the deck crying.  I broke my right ankle.  They put the Imagine in the livingroom and me in the back seat of the jeep and off to the hospital I went.  One doc said they'd knock me out and set it.  Other doc said nope gotta go have surgery need screws and a plate.  I broke all three bones you have in your ankle WAY TO GO. NO playing for me today.  5:30pm I'm being taken into emergency surgery.  OMG talk about pain.  This has been the worst week of my life.  I came home Thursday, Sept 23rd. Still NO playing for me I can't even let my leg hang down long enough to go potty.  This sucks.  I want to set it up and play so bad - but I have to wait maybe sometime this week like Wednesday or Thursday.

Book #2 The Fish Bowl Book

After watching videos made by Bug Junkie I had to give making a book with the hiding spots a try.
I'm officially addicted to making books. They are so much fun to do. I really don't know why I didn't try this before but I'm glad I have started now.  This book is 5.5" x 10.5". The papers are from Cosmo Cricket "Snorkel"

Fish Bowl Book

Pink ATG

How did I live without this?  I really don't know how I did anything without this little baby.  Love it!  I added a scrap piece of the Doodlebugs Beetle Black Swiss Dot Paper (which I just LOVE) to the inside cover.

New Book

Been working on a new book - I really like this - Thank you Bugjunkie for inspiring me to make the Choo Choo Book now I have all kinds of ideas going on in my mind.  Can't wait to post the new one almost done. Maybe later today.

Choo Choo Train Book

After looking at the wonderful books that Bugjunkie produces I just had to try my hand at it.  I loved the little book that she made with the "hiding spots".  I contacted her and asked her how she did it and she gladly told me.  So here is my attempt at the "hiding spots".  I choose to do the little train in "New Arrivals" for my first attempt at making a book.  With help from my gypsy I think I did a pretty good job.  The book is 5.25" high by 11" long.  I used papers from Basic Grey "Dawson" (one of my grandson's names) and from a stack of boy papers that I picked up at Michaels.  I think it needs a little more bling which I'll be working on and then posting more pics when I have it done. 

The only thing I did different on my hiding spots was that I put the paper over the magnet spot so that you couldn't see it. 

           This little guy is in honor of Bugjunkie.  Love this face its a PeachyKeen.com stamp set made for the Once Upon a Princess cricut cartridge.

Jack's Baby Shower Card

This is my first attempt at making a card with my gypsy.  I used the B is for Boys cartridge and DonJuan the truck was cut at 4" and Jack was cut at 1/2". This was for my newest grandson's baby shower.  I really like how it came out I think it is really cute with his name on the truck.  The gypsy made this a real easy project.
