Our little piece of Heaven


In March of '09, my husband and I bought 20 acres of land in northern Mn. Our dream is to build a home on it but for now it has become a peaceful getaway for us.  For now, we have our 5th wheel parked there and are slowly adding on as money allows.  Last summer we built a deck and a storage shed and cleaned up an area for family and friends to come stay. This year we've started a little "orchard" which includes apple, pear and plum trees, we'll see how that works :)  And today electricity was hooked up, I'm really excited for that!!

I was at a swarm awhile back and a lady demonstrated how to add designs to t-shirts , bags,etc with fabric paint , vinyl and your cricut. This is my first attempt. I  used the Cuttin Up cart for the lettering and cut it out of the vinyl, took the backing off and stuck it onto the t-shirt, making sure it was all adhered. Using  a little foam paint brush I then painted the lettering. Once thepaint was dried I removed the vinyl and this is the result.  I thought they turned out pretty good.

NSD Rak

I  love to receive prizes in the mail!  On Friday I came home from work to find some "happy mail" for me on the table.  It was from  fellow fiskateer, Laura #5939,  and I had won her RAK  on National Scrapbooking Day.  I have never won a rak before so when I opened this up I was completely blown away, I couldn't believe all the stuff that she sent me.  I was  very happy girl :)

Husbands Birthday

My husband's birthday  was on Tuesday the 18th and  I was trying to come up with a fun card for him. So I sat in my craft room, thought about it for a bit and it came to me.  Last weekend he spent the weekend up north, on our land, with a his friend Pat.  He left with a shotgun,some ammo and the determination to get that beaver, that had staked a claim in our stream. He came home, beaver still alive , but the dam that it had built was destroyed.  What a man I have!!   So that was the inspiration  for this card, his reaction was priceless !

MyPink Stamper Challenge #7- "Hey Dad"

MyPink Stamper Challenge #8 "Love my Color"

MyPink Stamper Challenge #4- " I Like you the Least"

This challenge was to use a cartridge that you use the least. The cart I used was Opposites Attract and I used it for the lettering.  I think this is the first I've ever used it and I think I kinda like this font.
