My Other Hobby

Hello Everyone!

I wanted to share a few pictures today with everyone of another one of my most favorite hobbies that I have not done in a long time. 

I have found photography to be very relaxing and calming. 

I love to drive around on the back roads and take scenery photos. 

But yesterday I was heading to Joann's and I was thinking how nice it would be to take my oldest daughter to a place I used to go when I was younger and just sit for hours and read. 

So we headed to the Norwich Rose Garden. 

My daughter loved it there and she saw how beautiful and peaceful it is there... she wishes that we lived closer to the Rose Garden...

I loved my day with my oldest daughter and it was fun taking her shopping with me. 

Cameo Project

Good Morning Everyone... 

I know it has a been a while since I have posted, it has been a bit crazy around here with my work schedule and kids getting out of school for the summer. And now my brother is in the hospital... 

Well last week I pulled out the cameo and was playing with it. 

I wanted to make something up for 4th of July and get some decorations made up for it... 

So I decide to make some of these fast and easy lanterns and then I saw these 3D stars and thought those were too cute. At first I was thinking o boy those are going to be interesting to make and hard. But I was like well I have to at least try them... well guess what I found out that they are not hard to make at all and they are quick and fun to make.... 

So here is what I came up with for my walkway to the craft room and today I am going to making some more for around the house. 

You can find both of the designs at the Silhouette Store... 

Remember to come by my CTMH Site and check out the Stamp of the Month Set and Stampaganza. 

Buy 2 sets and get one of equal or lesser value free... what a great deal and wonderful time to pick up a few extra sets of stamps.
