I want to live the dream. . .

My etsy shop is coming right along.  I haven't sold anything yet but I'm still very confident that soon my first sale will happen.  I've got alot of projects going on right now including getting to know my Cricut.  She has alot of possiblities and I am just at the tip of the iceberg.  I am learning a lot of new things and am loving her more and more each day.  Until I get to know her really well I didn't want to waste my vinyl by making mistakes.  So I have just been cutting on paper.  I made some Valentine's Day cards that I just put in my shop.  They turned out really cute.  Clean and simple.

I also made some business cards to send out with my orders and to carry around with me.  I printed them on my printer, not my Cricut.  They turned out okay.  It wasn't exactly what I wanted but it works.  It's the best I can do with my 4 year old HP Printer and Microsoft Word.  One day I will have a better program and a better printer to create with.

My cousin's 22nd Birthday was Saturday and i made him a Tennessee Titans Birthday Cake.  I think it turned out really cool.  I just printed off their logo from their webpage and then cut it out.  Then i laid it on top of the cake and traced it with a toothpick.  Then I just used icing and started coloring in the design.  I just held the picture up and looked off it to know where each color went.  I love it.  Everyone else in the family, including my cousin did too.

Life is good.  JC got an umpiring contract for this weekend in Lafayette.  He'll be gone friday nite, all day saturday, and then back sunday afternoon.  He's hoping to make somewhere around $300.  That will help us out so much with him being off of work for 3 weeks with basically no pay.  So this weekend he'll be out of town making money and I hope to stay home and make lots of stuff to put in my store.
