My Silhouette

 I quickly found a place for it right beside my computer desk!
 My cats aren't crazy about it...it makes weird noises. :)
 My first project was adding the word "friends" and the heart to this plain frame from Target.  It was a birthday present. 
 I added some touches to a bucket of pens on my desk.
 My mom was excited and wanted this cup she bought embellished.
 So I put her name on it!
 At my school, we do secret pals and for my final gift, I added my pal's new last name (she just got married this summer) to a bucket.
 And I put her new initial on a pitcher and cups.  I thought about trying the etching cream, but I couldn't find a glass pitcher.  Oh well, maybe next time.
It's been a lot of fun.  I don't think I've even touched on the possibilities of this machine.  I can't wait to use it to help me decorate my classroom.

It's been a long but fun weekend!  I kept my nieces while my brother and sister-in-love went to a conference in Florida!  We had a fun-filled weekend that started off with the children's museum. And of course, we made cookies before bed because that's what Aunt Rachel does! We had playtime at the mall in the kid's play area! On Sunday....it rained most of the day so we had a relaxing day indoors!  We had a great time...I just love being an Aunt!!

Well, before I get ahead of myself, I sort of organized my closet last fall.  This is how it looked before...   I realized I needed to organize this space better.  I also wanted to move my chest of drawers to the closet to give myself more space in my bedroom.  Another thing I decided to do was move my jackets and fleeces to my coat closet by the front door.  Which gave me more space in the closet. Coat Closet Here's the chest of drawers added to the closet.  I had a small bookcase that wasn't being used wisely so I put it on the top shelf to help organize my shoes.  Being that I'm a tall girl...it's perfect!
