Yudu! Yudu! Yudu!

I bought a Yudu today from Michaels. It was only $99. That's $200 off!! Can you believe that?? Wow! What a deal!
It was part of the recent one day sale they are having. If you want one, better go get it. I can't wait to get it out and start
playing with it. Some suggestions: Don't jump right into it thinking you know how it works. Read the directions carefully. Watch the instructional DVD that comes in the box. Doing these things will make it much easier to learn how to operate the Yudu. If you don't, you may end up getting frustrated with it because it's not doing what it is supposed to do.

Hopefully soon I will be able to get it out and learn then play with it. I will let you know of any pointers I come up with.

Stay tuned.

P.S. My mom and I went in on it together, because my husband doesn't know. :)

I'll be missing my Gypsy!

Hey everyone,

I talked with Provo Craft this morning and told them what happened to my gypsy and after giving them my serial number on the back of the gypsy, they said I could send it to them and it will take about 2 weeks to repair or send me back a new one. I LOVE THIS COMPANY!! They are so good to work with. So in a couple days I'll be sending my gypsy to them. It will be sorely missed but totally worth the wait of a new one.

So, I will be working without my gypsy for the next two weeks.

Nellie's Cottage Retreat

Got back from Scrapbook retreat in Vidor Tx. It was a whole lotta good ole fun! Although, I was not having very good luck using my Gypsy. It just wouldn't recognize that is was plugged into the Expression. So I had to hold it in to make the connection to cut anything out. Well, that didnt last very long before the whole part in the Gypsy just fell inside the Gypsy. I don't have any idea how it just fell through, but I do know I'll be making a call to Provo Craft tomorrow. I'l be sad that I will have to send it off. It will be missed dearly.

Anyway, we had a great time this weekend. The food, company and scrappin' ideas where awesome!! Hope we can do this at least once a year. It is such a quiet place to work in. Except when all us ladies get to talking smack. There was a lot of giggling, laughing and silliness going on there.

Well, as soon as I find out what the plans are for my Gypsy, I will let you know.

Have a great week,

Kristine

Scrapbooking Retreat

Hi guys,

I am (Kristine)going to a scrapbooking retreat this weekend. I should be packing now. It last all weekend and they provide all meals except todays lunch and sunday dinner. I went last October and it was really nice. It's at Nellie's Cottage in Vidor, TX. Very quiet, peaceful place. I'll try and take a few pictures and post them as soon as I can.

Here is the website for Nellie's Cottage...www.nelliescottageretreat.blogspot.com

Y'all have a great weekend.

Cartridge Link to Gypsy

Just a short video I decided to do today. Hope this helps those who haven't linked a Cricut Cartridge to their Gypsy yet.

Hi everyone!

Sorry it's been a while since we have posted anything on the blog. I (Kristine) have been out with the kids for spring break this week. I have been catching up on all the fun household things this week and spending alot of time with my kids. I have been wanting to work on my embroidry machine this week but havent had that "right" time to sit down with it. This week I worked on a tag swap and put those in the mail Monday. Also, my daughters are participating in a Relay for Life Pageant saturday and we have brought their dresses in for some alterations. We will be picking them up today. They are very excited about this pageant. It's their first one.

My mom (Hazel) has been getting her hair cut, working on tags and also working on cards for them to send to military for them to send to their families here in the states. In between that, she has also been working on re-organizing her craft room. Looking good. She now has space to actually work on her projects. I'm excited for her. She has done all this while still caring for my dad. He had hip surgery and has had several issues come up recently but he is doing much better (yeah) and now she is feeling better about leaving him for a couple hours every once in a while.

So that is a long update on what's been going on with us.

I hope to get more videos up and running next week, so stay tuned.

Thanks,

Houndstooth Vinyl Video

Hello yall,

Here is a video I made today using the Houndstooth vinyl I purchased from Craftvinyl.com. I made some flip flops using the Pink Journey Cart to send to my sister in Alabama. I'm sure everyone from AL knows exactly how priceless the houndstooth pattern is. My sister loves the pattern. So she asked me to make this for her. Hope you enjoy it.

Thanks,
