E-I-E-I-O

Old McDonald had a farm...
The farm is coming to my daughters school tomorrow and I decided after seeing this months Cricut Magazine, that I had to break out "Create a Critter" and make some cupcakes!!!
I cut the critters at 2 1/2" and used popsicle sticks to attach them to the cupcakes!!! I basically followed the directions in the magazine except I used googly eyes!!! I think they came out really cute and Caleigh enjoyed helping momma make animals for school.
I iced them with green frosting so it looked like they were in the grass...if I say so myself they taste pretty dang good......maybe someday soon I will attempt to do this with my Cricut Cake and gumpaste

Wall art for GiGi

I am so sorry that I haven't kept my promise and made anything new...I suffer from fibromyalgia and have had a really rough few days!!! Then on top of all that comes with the fibro....I have bronchitis uggghh.....I think the Stampede just really took it out of me.
For Christmas I wanted to make something special for my daughters GiGi to hang on her wall at work.
This was my first experience with glass and vinyl........it was very simple to make. I am going to try really hard to get something new made!!!

Top O' the Mornin to ya!!!!

I know that St Patricks Day isn't until Thursday, however I wanted to make sure and post this little flower basket that I made.
I am getting ready to leave later in the week for the Stampede in Dallas, Tx and have so much to do!!!!

I used the imagine to help create the flowers and the Luck O the Irish embellishment was cut with Celebrate with Flourish and the Imagine.
The flowers have gold glimmer mist and green stickles on the edges....it doesn't show up to well in the pics!! I hope you all remember to wear green!!
