Good (?) Monday morning!
I opened the shutters to my (2nd story) bedroom this morning and saw this:
And then I got stuck a whole lot of times taking kids to school (hint: 4). Thanks to the random neighbor dude out snow blowing who pushed us or I’d probably still be there now. Good times. Good times.
Did I mention some of us are also enjoying pink eye? Blah.
Are you familiar with Expressions Vinyl? Click on over there now and look. I’ll wait.
Expressions Vinyl sells vinyl for all your crafty needs. It’s good thick quality stuff. They sell it sized for whatever craft cutter you’re using. (Don’t forget…Silhouette = $100 off plus free home décor CD using code “CRAP” today AND tomorrow!!!).
What I love about Expressions Vinyl is that you can buy small pieces of any color you need without committing to a whole roll. I also love that if you order before 2pm MST, it ships out the very same day.
They carry some fun variations, like t-shirt vinyl and chalkboard vinyl, too.

I am pretty sure I'm getting a cricut for Christmas. (who am I kidding? I picked it up on black Friday.) so I would love some vinyl to go with it. The thing I would make is a stocking hanger board because my poor baby girl doesn't get a stocking hung up because my current stocking hanger doesn't have enough hooks for her. Maybe I could even talk my husband into giving me my present early. (or I could use it and re-package it. He'd never know!)

So, I just got my Silhouette a few weeks ago (I'm WAY too impatient to wait for Christmas) and after looking at your projects, I think I'll make either the stocking holders or dress up my tired christmas ornaments!
