Can't stop cutting iron on's!

I bought myself the Cricut Explore Air a while back and it just sat and sat and sat unused.  I just have not had time to use it, however, my new husband :) asked me to get us shirts for our familymoon to Disney so I decided to make them.  Well then I decided to make the girls shirts since we were going to be there for Easter (my boys would NOT wear shirts if I made them).  Then I thought I would make my Jeep obsessed hubby a funny shirt.  Lastly (for now)  I thought well I can make more so I made myself a sweatshirt to wear to all of my sons many many baseball games :)  Needless to say I am OBSESSED with cutting iron on material with my Cricut.  I love being able to use the Cricut Craft Room app to design what I want and then cut it later.  I love that the purchases on the app use ITunes gift cards because I can get those for good deals especially around the holidays.

While I am sad I do not get to craft as often as I like I am so happy when I do get a chance everyone once in a while :)

Here are the pics of my shirts and sweatshirt :)

I got married!

Hello everyone.  I cannot believe it but I got remarried on March 25, 2016.  When my first husband passed I was only 35 but I did not think I would ever be able to love someone the way I loved him.  Especially after being by his side through his illness.  That was very draining but also rewarding.  I feel so blessed to have been his wife and to be the mother of his children.

When Ricardo and I first started hanging out we were just friends but I feel in love with his sense of humor and his love for my children.  I am also so blessed that he new Ed and is able to share memories with us and is not ever jealous of my ongoing love for Ed.  He is very supportive of all of us keeping Ed in our hearts and lives.  I am blessed.

On March 25th we were married in front of family and friends.  I have joked the wedding was really for our girls (my 2 and his 1) as they had an idea of what they expected a wedding to be and they were not going for us just going to the courthouse.  Neither of us did a big deal for our first wedding so this was nice to do.  We were doing a beer and cupcake casual reception so I decided to do growlers as our centerpieces.  I wanted to put something in them so I did a pin wheel using our gray and coral colors and using the We R Memory Keepers pin wheel punch.  I loved them. I also ordered some labels online to put on them.  We ordered koozies online as a party favors. 

Instead of a honeymoon we did a familymoon to Disney :)  I used my Cricut Explore Air to make us some shirts!  They will be in tomorrow's post.

Here are the centerpieces :)  I think they turned out cute and were not too difficult thank goodness!






I don't have the wedding pics from the photographer yet but here are a few from my phone :)



Happy crafting!
