Minnie Mouse Decorations Cont.

I found these close-up pictures of the Minnie Mouse decorations and gifts so I thought I would share.

This first Minnie Mouse was hanging out at the food table. She was cut as large as I could to fit her on a 12x24 mat using the Mickey and Friends Cricut cartridge.

Another large Minnie Mouse cut to fit a 12x24 mat. She was put on a stick and was holding some balloons in the front yard to greet guests to the party.

After the party my little grand-daughter wanted to keep her decorations so they went up on the wall in her bedroom.

A close-up of the cups before the polka dots were added.

I think the dots make them so much cuter. The boys got red and black. The girls got pink and black. Khloë got a special cup with a pink band around it.

I have a few more pictures of the name tags for the food, but I still have to get them on the computer. I'll be back with those later.

Painting, Swimming and Crafting

Busy busy weekend. Right after work on Friday I went to a friends house to help with some party favors. After that I went to my son and daughter-in-laws house to help paint and cut vinyl for the baby's room.
We cut out the baby's name and some butterflies for the walls, but first we had to paint.

After painting we had to put the vinyl on the Cricut mat for cutting.

Push the load paper button to load the vinyl into the Cricut.

 Design the cuts on the Gypsy.

Concentration.

And then you add the vinyl to the wall.

 On the opposite wall we added butterflies, from dark to light, going up the wall.

After all the hard work it's time for some swimming.

I hope you all had a good weekend and spent some time doing what you love.

 

Paint and Trim

Happy Hump Day! I have just a little update on how I spent my Labor Day... doing manual labor! Husband and I headed out to Home Depot bright and early to get trim and paint for Khloë's room at our house. I had already painted it pink, but wanted to add some green in the mix. Here's a "before" picture.

It was cute with a soft pink and her name in vinyl. Just a little too plain for my taste. I love crown molding, but wanted to do something a little different. Here's a picture after we got the trim on the wall.

Next I painted above the trim and the ceiling a light green.

And the last picture I have for the day is after I put the banner up I made for Khloë. I still have some decorating to do, but until I find some pictures I like it will stay like this. I also have to hang her curtains back up.

The colors in this last picture are really muted. I guess the sun had already passed over the house by the time I got done. The third picture is the closest to the real color. I hope she likes it when she sees it.

New Mechanic

I had to share some pictures today of my darling little grand-daughter who is only 18 months old. She is definitely Daddy's little girl.

As you can see she is busy at work. She'll be opening up her own shop shortly if you need any work done on your vehicle. Heehee
I am really going to have fun scrapbooking these pictures. I think I'll use the title "Silly Boys, Tools are for Girls!"
or "Step aside and let a Girl show you how it's done!" Any other suggestions? I can hardly wait to print these pictures and get started. If there were only more time in the day.

Khloë and the Kitty

Happy Wednesday. We're getting closer to Friday (yay!). I was able to get a couple of pictures of Khloë with my sisters cat from my son. Luckily he is quick with his camera on his iPhone. He didn't get any when Khloë was trying to ride on the kitty, but you can still see how docile this cat is. Can you see Khloë's leg going up and getting in position to sit on the kitty? Also the look on her face knowing she's not supposed to ride the kitty? (Is anyone looking?)LOL

In this next picture Khloë was sticking her finger in the kitty's nose. Poor kitty, but he just stayed there and didn't run away. Luckily for him we were there and didn't let this continue. It was cute, but still scary for me knowing cats have claws that are quicker than I am. He was a good sport, but I would never recommend this.

And don't you just love his jacket? He loves it and struts around like he's a person. Can you imagine seeing that walking down the street? My sisters little girl cat has a pink dress and pearl necklace. She's very prissy and wouldn't let us take her picture.
That's all for today. Hope you enjoyed the kitty/baby pictures. Cindy
