So I have kind of been really liking these décor pieces. I have now created 3, including this one. I have decided that I am going to create a décor piece for every season and every holiday. My youngest daughter has been really enthusiastic about helping me with them too. She is 7 and likes to press buttons. This is the décor piece we created for Summer. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I used these items to create my Summer Décor Project:</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">

</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Pooh and Friends Cricut cartridge - sun</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Create a Critter Cricut cartridge - sand castle</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">

</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">

</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">

</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Create a Friend Cricut cartridge - pool</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Glossy Accent - on the popscicle</div>
</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: left;">

Well, this Sunday will be Mother's Day and this is a card that I created with my 7 year old daughter for her MomMom (Grandmother). Her MomMom loves owl's so we decided that we had to use the owl from the Create a Critter Cricut cartridge. We also found out that her favorite colors are mauve and country blue. We then choose our papers and this is what we came up with. You can't see it but I did use some foam tape behind the owl and branch.</div>

This year has been rough for me. I just lost my Mom this past November so I wasn't even sure if I was going to participate in this blog hop. I did though decide that focusing on the loss of my mother was not what I wanted to do...the pain is still too fresh for me. I decided that I would make a card for my daughter's Grandmother. She may no longer be my mother-in-law but I do still love her as if she were. Plus, my youngest daughter wants to make her own card of her own design for her, too. </div>

I had not used my Seasonal Soirees cartridge yet so I choose to make the little Valentine's Day treat holder. I simply put my 12x12 piece of cardstock on my mat, hit the Fit to Page button, choose the corresponding number to the treat holder and hit cut. Once I had decorated the treat holder the way I wanted I was then able to adhere the treat holder together. It was super easy and a whole lot of fun. </div>

So if you don't know already from my previous blog post, I was unable to create or blog for over a year. During that time I became a caregiver to my elderly mother. She passed away in early November and I'm still trying to pick up the pieces. I had very little help but for those who have helped me I thought I'd create a little thank you card to show my appreciation. </div>

My inspiration for this card was my Mom's kitchen window and 1 of her cats. She had 5 cats, 3 dogs and 3 fish at the time of her passing and I took them all in. So I now have 11 cats, 6 dogs, 3 fish and a bearded dragon. I feel the image of the black cat gazing out the window into the sky was a reflection of how I, and my mom's beloved pets, feel looking to find her in the heavens. </div>

Well, it has been quite a long time since I have been able to even come near my blog. I'd say at least a good 14 - 15 months since I've been able to craft and/or blog about it. My elderly mother became quite sick and I basically became her caregiver. Being a single mother to 2 children is hard enough and then to unexpectedly become a caregiver to my mom was a huge challenge. This period has definitely been the most exhausting time in my life. I was challenged physically and emotionally. <br />

My mom passed away peacefully in my home approximately 9:30am November 9, 2016. I am now the only one left in my family. My father passed away 10 years ago and my brother 9 years ago. I thought I had so much more time with my mom but when things started to go down hill they went down hill fast. I'm glad that it was fast. I'm glad she is no longer in pain and suffering. I'm glad that she no longer has to be witness to the violence of this world. I'm glad she has been reunited with my father and brother. I'm glad she is in Heaven to help take care of my 2 babies who were taken from me. I'm glad that no matter where I go I know she will be with me. I miss her terribly but I know that she would want me to get my life back and do the things that I love most and that is crafting. My mom bought me most of my Cricut supplies and what-not over the years and I know she would want me to get back to it, so I am. Very soon I will be regularly posting as a Design Team member for the <a href="http://fantabulouscricut.blogspot.com/">Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog</a> I hope you follow me and join in on all of the fun challenges.Carol's Creationshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11448173987138451882noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-894449414720630996.post-70865070147354168112015-10-31T14:07:00.001-07:002015-10-31T14:07:12.196-07:00Mini Monsters Treat Bags<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I was introduced to this movie a couple years ago and have become obsessed with it. I loved every second of this movie. If you have not seen this movie, now is the time. Check it out <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0862856/">HERE</a> on IMDb. One of the characters in the film is Sam. Sam makes sure that everyone follows the rules for Halloween: wear a costume, don't blow out your jack-o-lantern before midnight, and always check your candy. If you don't follow these rules you will pay...with your life!<br />
<br />
The love I have for this movie has spread to the rest of my family and after my oldest saw the cut version of it on TV she too fell in love with it. She requested to be Sam for Halloween a couple years back so my husband and I made her a Sam costume and I think it turned out pretty dang good.<br />

I love this activity. I love the end product even more. I have found that using the recipe on the Kraft Caramels package to be the best and easiest. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Halloween activities for </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Day 23 - 26 </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">are</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Day 23</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Watch "The Monster Squad"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
This is a movie from my childhood that I absolutely loved and introduced it to my daughters last year. My youngest loved it but my oldest really didn't seem interested in it...oh well, to each her own.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Day 24</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Have a Halloween Party</span><br />
<br />
Now this activity is obviously something that would have to be planned for whatever day that is convenient for your family so this day might be on a different day.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Day 25</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Wear Orange</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Day 26</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Watch </span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">"The Nightmare Before Christmas"</span><br />
<br />
Need I say anything about this movie. It is a definite for Halloween and Christmas. Jack Skellington is one of the best Halloween characters ever created.<br />
<br />
So sorry I missed so many days but family comes first. I will try to finish out the countdown without any more hiccups...hopefully. Thank you for your patience.</div>

<br />
So today is the day you get to go out and spread that Halloween cheer to your neighborhood. A couple days ago you should have made your "You've Been Boo'ed" treat holder and now you get to use them. It is real simple, hang the treat with the instructions on the door knob of your neighbor, ring the door bell and run. Hopefully they will follow the instructions and continue to spread the Halloween cheer throughout your neighborhood. </div>

<br />
This movie may be a little too scary for the younger children in your house, unless they are my like my daughter who has been growing up on The Walking Dead since before she was 1 year old. You just really need to know what your child can tolerate. I myself grew up watching the 80's serial killer movies like Friday the 13th and Halloween...neither of which ever scared me. So just do what's best for your family.</div>

There are a variety of ways to make "You've Been Boo'ed" Treat Holders. I love <a href="https://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> and they have many different types of "You've Been Boo'ed" ideas. You can also just use <a href="http://www.google.com/">Google</a> that works just as well. It really is just a nice neighborhood idea to spread Halloween cheer. So go out there and Boo someone!</div>
