Just Because

Wow, what a day. After posting the cards this morning I got to work around the house: made 2 banana loaves, 3 dozen banana muffins, did all the laundry, raked out the flower beds, made and froze a bunch of potato skins for lunches. Whew! I went to the scraproom and struggled a bit just because I was tired, but I did manage to pull something together for the CPS sketch this week. I am sure loving my Cricut lately! One of these days I have to attempt using my Slice. Have you ever gotten a new 'toy' and felt intimidated by it? That is how I am with the Slice, perhaps tonight I'll go back down there and see what it can do.

  1. Love this one, too! Great colors. It sounds like you had a productive day. Way to go! About the Cricut, I need to look at mine again. You're listing cartridges I've never heard of. I'd better go see what I'm missing ... LOL.

  4. Just catching up on my blog reading - love all the stuff Laurel. Can you share your 'potato skin' recipe? Freezing them? This sounds like a perfect solution to some picky eaters I have.
