Die Cuttin’ Divas Random Act of Kindness Challenge

Happy Tuesday everyone!  I hope you all had a good weekend.  Mine was so nice.  My husband and I had breakfast with one of my friends from middle school who was in San Diego for a few days.  It was so great to see her again and meet her husband.  We started talking and it was like no time had passed.

Die Cuttin' Divas 3D Challenge

Hello and happy Tuesday.  I started my new job yesterday.  It was so much information all at once but I really think I'm going to love it.  The people there were so welcoming and my new boss is fantastic.  That is quite a change for me and a very welcome change.

It's time for this weeks Die Cuttin' Divas challenge, which is to make a 3D project.  I figured since it was almost Valentine's Day I would make a treat box.  I thought this one was cute and it is free over at Dreaming Tree.

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Glitter or Foil

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Well, I took down all our Christmas decorations on Sunday.  It always makes me a little sad to see all of my favorite things get put away for another year.  I still can't believe it is all over already.

On a more positive note, I was offered a new job on December 21st and I accepted!  I have not been happy at my job for the past couple of years so I was thrilled when this awesome new opportunity came my way.  I will start my job on January 21st and I'm really excited!

Die Cuttin' Divas Favorite 2018 Sketch

Happy December to all of you!  I can't even believe it is December already.  I had a really fun weekend.  I went to dinner with my hubby on Saturday night to a wonderful seafood restaurant.  The food is always so good and we enjoy being near the ocean.  On Sunday, my sister and I went to a craft fair at a new winery not too far from my house.  The products being sold were very nice and very high quality.  After we walked around, we were able to sit at a table outside and have a glass of delicious wine.  It was such a relaxing day.  Now I need to get into Christmas mode so I'll be ready in time for the holiday!

On to our challenge this week at Die Cuttin' Divas, which is to make a project using any of our monthly sketches from 2018.  Here is a picture of all of them so you can pick your favorite one to use:

Die Cuttin' Divas Challenge - Thanksgiving or Thanks

Hello and happy Tuesday!  Are you all ready for Thanksgiving?  I am looking forward to it.  It will be quiet this year because my husband broke his heel last month and he is still on crutches. We will stay home and I'll make dinner for me, my husband and my sister. I am really looking forward to having a nice long weekend off of work.

On to this week's Die Cuttin' Divas challenge, which is Thanksgiving or Thanks.  I decorated these cute little pails that I found at a thrift store.  They were brand new and I think I got 4 of them for $1!  That was quite a bargain and I could not pass them up. I made these for my craft buddies and I will see them this weekend.  There is some candy in them along with a small bottle of Fireball.  We all love Fireball!
