I can't believe I did it!

More importantly...no one else can believe it either! I have wanted a tattoo for the longest time, but anyone who knows me, knows what a big chicken I am. I recently reconnected with a dear friend who is a tattoo artist so I figured it was time to bite the bullet.Knowing that it was a friend doing it made it so much easier. Don't get me wrong, I was still scared to death but having a friend who I could laugh with and make fun of myself with and know I could trust really put my mind at ease. Thanks Mikey for not teasing me too much and for the wonderful tattoos can't wait to get more.....

My baby is growing up....

Last night I was filled so many different emotions. I was sad, I was excited, I was happy but most of all I was proud! My baby is not a baby anymore...last night he graduated from 8th. grade and is on to high school this fall. I can't believe it, it seems like just yesterday I was changing his diapers and all's I had to worry about was making sure the binkie was always on hand. Each milestone he reaches gets harder and harder for me to hold back the tears...so here is to you my son....Congrats and I am so proud of you!!!!!!

For sale....

As much as I hate to have to do it, I must....
I must part with my Cricut Expression die cutting machine. I have had it for several months now and it has never been used. The Expression machine is the one that will cut a 12x12 sheet and up to a 12x24 sheet. I also have a pack of brand new never opened 12x12 mats. They come 2 in a pack. Along with that I have a brand new Cricut spatula, 3 packs of brand new replacement blades that come 2 in a pack so that is 6 more blades, a brand new pack of primary ink cartridges...yellow,red,green,orange,blue and the original font cartridge that came with the machine. The box for this is missing...my daughter fell on it and crushed it. Also, the mouse pad that came in the Design Studio software is missing. If anyone is interested just let me know and we can work something out.
Again what you will be getting:
Cricut Expression die cutting machine
Plantin SchoolBook font cartridge
Cricut Spatula tool
Cricut primary ink cartidge(5 pack)
3-Cricut replacement blades (2 pack) making that 6 blades total
Cricut Design Studio software
Cricut 12x12 cutting mat (2 in the pack)
Again, everthing is brand new and never been used.
