I've been missing the crafting world. I have so many ideas, but so very little follow through,. I doodle at work all of the time figuring out what my next project should be and this weekend I had some serious motivation because Mom was coming into town and she wanted help using the Silhouette machine. I got to work and focused on a few of the specific crafts I had in mind. I first made a fall tree as a test of the cutters strength. I'm less than thrilled about the project but Mom liked it and wants one and Shane likes it too, so for now it'll do.
I then wanted to make magnets for my fridge out of glass vase fillers that I scored at the dollar store. I love they way they turned out and ended up making some 30 of them. My fridge is covered in magnets right now.
My first real successful project that I am over the moon about is the Seattle frame I made for pictures of our trip last year. While in Seattle we considered buying one but they wanted between $24-30 and let's be honest I'm just too cheap! I love the way it turned out. It's absolutely perfect.
I have several other projects under way and several blogs to thank for inspiration. I also downloaded and printed these two Thanksgiving beauties. I love them.

You are so crafty and creative! Fun!
Love the red D&C quote! Also you reminded me how fun it is to make those magnets. I've only used photos as the backer before but I love your paper choices
