It feels like it's been forever, but I guess it hasn't. I think it's because I've been so busy I haven't had time to spend online and check all the blogs. A lot has been going on.
1- The main reason I've been busy is I've been playing with my new toy.
It's called the Cricut. It cuts out words and shapes. It's pretty much amazing. I'm in love. I know I should have waited until Christmas, but our big scrapbooking weekend was last week, and I wanted to take it with me.
2-Here are some adorable cards I made last night.
...and my favorite... 
3-And some scrapbook pages from last week.
I think if I get ambitious today I'll take pictures of all of my scrapbook pages I've been working on and upload them to my picture site.
4- Yesterday Seth had off work so we cleaned up the backyard and the dogs played in the leaves. Puck actually enjoyed it and stayed there. We had to convince Abbi to stay still for some pictures. I think they are gorgeous pictures. I can't wait to scrapbook them.

5-We may have found an apartment in Bountiful. We wanted to go look at it yesterday, but they don't have any available until December. They are going to give us a call when we can go see it From the pictures online and the floor plan it looks amazing. 1400 square feet townhouse. 2 floors and an unfinished basement with the washer/dryer hookups. They look kind of old and outdated, but interesting and different at the same time. I can't wait to go see.
6- Most of you have heard of or experienced the Day-After-Thanksgiving-Sales or Black Friday here in Utah. If you haven't, your missing out. I usually go along with my sisters just because I like to watch all the crazy people and laugh at them. Now that I'm working for RS I get to experience it from the sales associate point of view. I'm pretty excited actually. Except for the part that everyone in my store has to work from open to close. We have to be there at 5:00am (open at 6:00) and we close at 10:00pm. If you work out the hours, that is 17 of them. Granted we either get two 1 hour breaks or one 2 hour break, but still. That's going to be a LONG day.
7- It's a sad day here in my world. It's raining. This past week has been such gorgeous weather, and I think today marks the end of that. Now we have to look forward to frost, snow, and rain from here on out. Sad, sad day. The only redeemable feature of winter is Christmas.
8- Christmas is my favorite holiday. I'm so excited! Only 6 weeks away!! The day after Halloween I pulled out the Christmas music. If I waited until after Thanksgiving to pull out Christmas music, I'd only have a month of it, and that is just not enough. Mannheim Steamroller is my favorite. They are coming in concert here. I wish I could go.
9- This past week my brother and I cleaned out the bedroom that has been housing all of mine and Martin's stuff that are in boxes. I thought about taking before and after pictures, but I was too embarrassed. It was horrible. You couldn't even walk in the room. And now we have all of the boxes on one half of the room and the other half is my craft room. I love being in there. The dogs like it too. 
10- Dang it. I almost had ten things to say...maybe next time.

I am superbly envious of your scrapping skills, crafting space, and your new TOY! I have been trying and trying to talk Mike into letting me have 'space'. Yeah, not so much happening. I only want a card table in a corner somewhere, really.
I can't decide if I want an uber new toy like yours, a REALLY good printer for pictures, OR a sewing machine. *gasps* I feel almost grown up sometimes.
I fell in love with a new blog over the weekend, took me hours and hours to read through the whole thing, but I'm in love. Check out "Karen" in my list.
the cricut machines look so fun. It is great to see some of the possibilities that it has. Thanks for posting. Your pages look awesome! You have a skill and talent all your own.
Congratulations on finding a place of your own that you like. I hope it has at least most of what you are looking for in a place. Rentals aren't all perfect, but they can be what we need for that moment.
Have fun with "Black Friday", it would be kinda fun to go with my sister. I can't imagine working that day. You are a trooper!
Stac, we almost moved into those townhomes too. We really wanted 3 bedrooms since Em was moving in to watch Ky for us, or else we would have moved there. They are very cute inside and in a great location. Keep me posted. I hope it works out for you. Cute scrapbook pages.
