My New Toy... An Award...& A Special RAK!

Good Morning Bloggers!!!

I have alot to share today and this will be post 1 of 2 

so please do come back later when I post my project for The Cutting Cafe.

Ok onto all this fun stuff!!!!!

Look what I got yesterday....

Isn't she beautiful?!?!?

Now the fun can begin....I was playing around last night a bit...had some kinks to work out and

for sure plan to play today!! 

I was having some issues with my images not showing up on my mat...they were there but not that I could see...

Well wouldn't you know with the help of my husband and my 11 year old....that's right my 11 year old they were able to fix it!

I swear to you my son can navigate the computer 100 times better than I could possibly imagine. He told me yesterday that his teacher asked him to help fix a computer issue at school and withing 10 minutes had it up and running....WHAT?? Way to go Casey!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Next I want to share this beautiful RAK I received from a very dear blogging friend!

Sonia over at Archiving Angel

sent me this beautiful "B" Stand that she made along with such an awesome tea cup card!

I have it proudly displayed on my desk and it holds my Trendy Twine that I have on spools.

It is so perfect and I will for sure treasure this always!

Thanks so much Sonia!
