Hey guess what, remember the nursery art that I did for Kensington's pre-room? Yesterday my gurl Heidi told me that she submitted it to Cricut and that we won!!!! That means we get to pick out any cartridge for our collection! This is funny to us.
1) we are fake crafters especially when it comes to using the Cricut. It takes us like 4 tries of paper and an hour to cut out one thing, and a lot of:
"what the crap! why is it cutting over there?
it's totally cutting the elephant's tails off.
do you have more paper? we need more paper.
is it ruined? it's totally ruined. piece of junk.
how big is an inch?"
2) i say "we" when referring to "our" Cricut because it falls under the category of dual ownership. We craft usually once a weekend (aka pretend craft) and she lugs all her rubbermaid tubs over to my house and the boys are forced to watch lame movies or youtube or take apart computers downstairs, meanwhile upstairs it eventually just sort of became my craft room full of her crap. Pretty sure her sewing machine lived in a broken state up in the craft room for at least 4 months.
3) that nursery art is really the only craft that we've ever actually completed. She cut out the shapes (again, it took us forever and a million pieces of paper before we got it right) and as you'll recall I sat my fat pregnant butt on the new chair and bossed her around. Then she left and I had all these random cutout shapes and 3 blank canvases--and I just let the creativity take me.
Anyways we figured we only won because we used the Cricut in a unique way (not for cards or scrapbooking) so if you've made anything cool with yours then you should submit it.
On another topic, Jake got me Lion King tickets for my bday. We went out to eat in Chapel Hill beforehand at The Pig and Jake was excited for Carolina bbq and said "man I love your people's food." so I guess 7 years later I come to realize he only married me for easier access to Southern food. The show was magical and I'm still thinking about the complexity of some of the costumes/puppets. So creative. And I liked the extra songs they added in--they totally worked with the rest of the soundtrack.
Not going to lie--when all the animals came down the aisle and up onto the stage, I was so happy to see an elephant. In my mind I could hear Amaryllis gasping/exclaiming/having a heart attack "ellllfuuuunt! an elfuunt!"
This girl certainly has changed our love and appreciation for those mammals, that's for sure.

K, I'm sick of you saying you aren't a real crafter, because now you officially are! And I did not know you crafted on the weekends, that has real crafter written all over it. :)
Even I think of MIss AV every time I see an elephant. Has she played elefun? And I almost bought her the most adorable elephant pjs at baby gap, but sadly Paul talked me out it. Blame him.
I agree with Kelsey, you're totally a crafter!....a very good one too!
haha ok I guess it's officialy I'm a real crafter. yessss. but now i have to finish things because that's what real crafters do. new goal.
yes we have Elefun (the butterfly catching game right?) thanks to Grandma K.
Awesome!! I totally love those pics you girls did for Kensington's room!
Lets see the rest of the room! Brianna has the exact same elephant. She prefers to obsess over spoons though . . .
Congrats on the win, you deserve it.
I saw Lion King for my 23rd birthday in LA. AMAZING show. I've also worked with a guy that played Jafar in London.
My favorite new song is "He lives in You." I almost cried when I saw it for the first time.
