BIN LADEN IS DEAD... Thank our TROOPS event

 If you haven't heard already, Osama Bin Laden is DEAD!!!

He is responsible for the THOUSANDS of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, Aunt, Uncles, grandparents, friends... who were killed on 9-11. This is a victory to US Troops and those who lost a loved one due to the terrorist Bin Laden. 

I have started a Face Book group and ask for EVERYONE to make a card to THANK OUR TROOPS!!!  I ask that we post them on our blogs and Face Book on Friday, May 6, 2011. This gives everyone a couple days to make one. 

I am soo PROUD to be an AMERICAN!! 

I can remember when I was a child and my dad went to Desert Shield/Storm. We ( 2 little sisters and 1 brother)  only had contact with my dad via snail mail. We watched as my mom cried every night .. not really understanding the seriousness of it all. As an adult, I understand my mother's tears. 

THANK YOU to EVERY service man and woman and their families!!! 

Hugs,

Kathy's Cozies

Hello ya'll. :)  Welcome back. 

I hope you all are doing well and are staying safe. We have had more tornado warnings and flooding this week than I ever remember!!! I am sooo scared of lightning and tornadoes it is NOT funny!! So, when a warning is sent, I am HIDING!!!  Last night we had another round of tornadoes and more to come today.  So, I thought I would share a product and a blog today. :)  

A couple months ago I was introduced to Kathy. She makes covers for just about ANYTHING!!!  I saw a fabric she had on her Face Book page so I contacted her right away about making covers for my Expression and my Imagine. She was soo nice and was excited to get started.  I was shocked only a week later to have the cozies in my hand!!!  She does AWESOME work!!  I then contacted her for cozies for my Cricut Cake, Cuttlebug, and my daughter's Nook!!! Yep.. Not long later.. we got them!!! Kathy does SUPERB work and does all the quilting on them. She uses the best fabric and can do whatever color you like. She has a TON of photos on her Face Book page to look at and maybe request. 

So, If you are in the market for a HIGH QUALITY cover for your machines.. You can't go wrong with Kathy!!  Tell her I sent ya ;)  Here are a couple pics of my machines. :)

Easter

Hello ya'll. I hope you all had a Happy Easter. We spent the day inside due to storms ALL DAY!!! The rain isn't supposed to stop until Thursday!! Ughh..  Well, I took a few pics of my lil man coloring eggs and with his Easter basket. Our older kids had no interest in anything. We got all the kids a big chocolate bunny and a bag of candy. They were happy with that. 

We used Kool-aid packets to color our eggs this year. ( NOT my idea, sorry I don't remember whose blog I saw it)  The eggs turned out BRIGHT and bold!! I will DEFINITELY do this again next year. The good thing.. all you need is the kool-aid and water. :) 

I LOVE the way they turned out!!! 

Here are a few pics of my lil man. 

Thanks for stopping by again. Come back soon. :)

Explosion box

Hey ya'll.. I'm glad you came back.

I made an explosion box a couple months ago and realized I never posted the pictures. I made this for a SWAP I was in for a dear friend Eileen. The SWAP rule was to make something you have never done before. So, this is my first explosion box. 

What do you think? 

So, What do YOU think??  Have you made an explosion box?? 

Thanks for stopping by again. 

Happy Crafting...
