THIS is why I still watch Sesame Street with the kids

Cricut Chore Chart as Kid's Daily Schedule

Well, I did it. I finished it and here it is.

Yes, I know. These aren't so much chores as things they are expected to do. Maybe I am the one who thinks of these as chores! The boys certainly like it and can understand it after talking them through it only once. Besides, they are not ready for the chores around the house - least I don't want them doing them when mommy and daddy can do it better and with more efficiency!

The overall measurements are around 22 x 11.5. It's backed by black foamcore board for durability and to carry it from one location to another (they are very, very forgetful). I used Design Studio to map out the cutting arrangements. One thing I like to do for each layer or even each section is to write in the color on the mat via a font cartridge. Just before I cut I delete the defining text since I don't need the word "blue" for the project.

I used my Gypsy to design/browse initially, but executed in DS. I take the G to bed with me and use it 'til I can't see the screen anymore (yes, it's a small screen, but there's nothing like the G on the market, right?). There are a few things designed on it that are ready to go when the mood strikes.

Bear Hugs



It’s tough enough being an aqua colored bear. Then in came the loggers. It would be easy, so easy, to get back at those guys, but she prefers to promote awareness with a healthy dose of love.

Original Nature Icon Painting Of Aqua Deer

When I was a child there was a painting in my parent’s bedroom that I would look at for what seemed like hours on end. Framed in a brown, perhaps faux wood rectangle, it was a garden scene with a lake that had swans gliding idly on its smooth surface. Was it the colors or the content that intrigued me? I think there were people in the painting, but it was the animals that I can remember best.

Mess Make Mine Desk

Here's the desk and computer my husband surrendered to me. He claimed it was always a mess. From this point of view I suppose there is truth to that. But hey, that is who I am.

I'm pretty excited about getting my paper projects into my etsy store. It will trickle in as it is completed. Meanwhile, take a look at one of my favorite sellers on etsy:

Now I Can Wander

I got a Gypsy!

Eesh. Not that kind. The Cricut kind. Great trade with one of my Cricut Forum friends (we follow each other's blog). Thanks, you special lady! Hope you are making a cake this weekend! Send me a link to it when you post it.

Anyway - this little machine is fun. But I have not had much time to really get into uploading carts or even cutting. I'll get there.

Currently I am gearing up for a tag sale. Well, not in the typical sense. I will be selling more of my unique tags on Etsy soon (seller name, PaperGods). Just working on accumulating enough for a cohesive grouping.

This set went out today. Perfect for the mechanic in your life.

Happy Card Making Day (Sat, Oct 2)!
