Makin' Things

I splurged and got myself a late-birthday/early-Christmas/Columbus Day?? present.  Whatever the reason for the splurge, I have been having SO much fun with it!  It's a Cricut machine, and it lets you make lots and lots of fun things with vinyl.

Here's some of the stuff I've made!

For my photographer friend

Hawaiian day

For my hairdresser!

Western day!

Hawaiian day again!

For our friend with diabetes

I am having so much fun with this little machine!!!  More to come...

Taylor's Field Trip

Taylor's class went on a field trip last week to Allegre Farm- a pumpkin patch/petting zoo/garden/worm farm/hay ride/you name it kinda place.  It was very educational in how they ran it, so that was pretty cool.  It was a beautiful day for it, just a bit chilly!  But hey, who wants to be at a pumpkin patch when it's warm anyways?

Lena, Taylor, and Bryce (and Bryce's cute little bro)

Brushing the horse.

Milking a goat!

Her reaction after milking said goat.

Grumpy-puss on the hay ride wouldn't take a selfie with me. :(

My friend Clara got a good shot of the grumpiness and shared it with me.

The worm farm!  I opted out of this one.

The gardens!  We could even taste test.

You got something... right... there... over a little bit...

Success!  And my friend Kelly and I got to go shopping afterwards!  whoop.
