Speechless

I am doing NaBloPoMo this month. 30 blog posts in 30 days. Come join me. You can find the full list of participants over on San’s blog here #nablopomo2023

The morning left me pretty speechless. Today was my birthday and my big surprise was that I received a Cricut Maker 3. I was always eyeing one but always felt it was not quite necessary and a luxury. Well, now it is sitting on my dining table. This was a real big surprise. I usually have to voice very specific wishes but this year I only heard “it’s covered” and it was! I still can’t quite believe it. I see so many projects in my future including new snow flakes for my big front window. The bats I had up for Halloween would have been so much easier, too. Christmas T-Shirts for the family? I have the feeling I am not the only one in the family who is excited about this. We were gathering around earlier as it was making the first cuts. I made a snow flake and a bee decal for my coffee mug. It’s pretty amazing but now I am really tired. It’s 11:10pm and I am glad I finished today’s post before midnight.

Anything in your life you did not think you needed but wanted?
What should I make next?

  1. My husband bought me a popcorn maker for my birthday (a Whirley Pop). I thought I was FINE making popcorn on the stovetop, but this has been a real game changer. It’s faster and easier to clean and I’m obsessed with it.

    Happy birthday!

  2. Happy birthday! And that is the coolest birthday present ever! Someone knew how to make you happy 🙂 (I love what you can do with a cricut but haven’t been able to justify the cost!)

  3. Happy (belated) birthday to you. What a wonderful surprise. I have been eying this tool too but I think I wouldn’t use it as much as I now think. But I am excited for you. I would. do all the snowflakes. I will be looking forward to seeing what you create.
