Silhouette in the House!

By -


It's here!!! I am now the proud owner of a Silhouette Cameo! I have been wanting one of these for awhile now. But because we are a one income household, getting a Silhouette was definitely out of the budget. I just couldn't justify buying something so expensive when it was only going to be used by me. So we waited until we found it at a good price (Amazon) and then using Amazon credit and some gift cards we got the total down to a really amazing budget friendly price! I have been playing with it non-stop, learning all the tricks to cute paper cutting. I have a lot of projects up my crafty sleeve, but in the mean time I made these two cards as my first projects. 






There's no stopping me now! I'm taking Superfluous crafting to a whole new level!

I've been wanting to get one too, but can't get past that price tag! Even though my husband would say go for it, it would make me feel so guilty! Guilty and very very happy at the same time, ha! Can't wait to see what you do. :-)

My roommate in college was an architecture major and access to those laser printing machines was fabulous. I just found out about this printer version. WANT!

Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW !

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
