for Aubrey and Braeden and challenges

Hi all, it seems like a long time since I last posted, only a week. I have been cleaning in my daughters bedroom while she is gone to an FFA convention in Indiana. I figured she asked me to wash her bedding while she was gone it would be a good time to pick up, you would think that a 16 year old would know what a garbage can was used for, tags from clothes, little pieces of paper, soda and water bottles under her bed, and a bunch of other stuff that was just out of place.....anyway about the project I made...

this is for my grand kids, they are to the age they want to put things together, so I made this to go on their patio window,   it is also for 2 challenges....


Cricut 360 challenge ....create a spooky project with a spider and the colors purple, green and orange..

and at My Craft Spot...

This weeks Challenge: 3D Halloween!

 I had seen a pumpkin made this way and  made a spider

 Brittany is in heaven..... I bought her 2 cute blouses for her trip, turns out they had to button up all the way so that the FFA scarf would fit under the collar, she is wearing her dads shirt here, I found 2 that were fitted and sure enough, they fit!!! yes she is tall, but to be fair, my craft room has low ceilings.  she is 5' 8"   and I am
5' 2" so  I have to look up to her....

cricut 360 challenge # 5 transportation

CHALLENGE # 5 - Transportation.
Hi all,, when I saw the post for the challenge, I knew right away it was going to be a plane...last November I flew from Appleton, WI to Denver CO   all by myself....I never have traveled by myself, on a plane. I have been on a plane before but I have always had my husband along to lead the way. everything was fine on the way there, on the way home was a different story, I could not stop crying when I had to part from my daughter. so she waited with me until I was in a more stable mood, and through the medal detectors I went...and I made it home okay!!! and much to my surprise 2 of my daughters, my son-in-law, 2 of my grandchildren,and my hubby where waiting for me...such a lucky gal I am!!!
I left the banner blank because my girlfriend is expecting and I will wait to see if it is pink or blue!!
