mothers day

i had such a great mothers day, and it was so fun because it was my first one as a mamma! it was so fun to be able to share that special day with my little family and then for dinner we went to see bradys family, and for dessert we went to see my side of the family (more on the dessert part in another post). i love my mother so much, i have no idea what i would do without her! she is always helping me with my crazy ideas and she has taught me so much about being a great mother to my little boy. i have learned everything from her especially how to love your children.

i made her this cute little box from my new cameo and it had a fun gift card and goodies inside :) 

and then for all my sisters i made them these cute little boxes full of fun goodies inside too.

and for Connie i made this fun little paper box and plant pick to put some floweres inside.

it was so fun to make stuff for the ones i love :)

The Cameo Silhouette

so the biggest, funnest, newest crafting tool around is the new Cameo Silhouette! i have been drooling over them for months and my sweet husband bought me one for mothers day/ my birthday!

oh man are these little machines awesome!

check out this site for more information

and this blog
one of the things that makes this so cool is unlike the cricut where you have to buy really exspensive cartridges that have a lot of stuff you wont use, you can buy stuff for the silhouette indiviually for $1.00 from this site!
you can also make your own designs for it too.
 

and of course my amazing husband bought me a bunch of extra fun goodies to go with it :)

i had to personalize my machine a little too!

and here is my first project.. a birthday present for my mother in law.

i took an old cuboard door that i bought at the Restore place for a couple bucks, painted it, designed a saying i liked, and cut out some vinyl for it.

what do you think?
