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!
If you have yet to check out her blog....Archiving Angel make sure to hop over.
She has the greatest tips, tricks and tools. Always sharing the newest and coolest in scrapbooking stuff!!
Let her know also that I sent you!!
I know she would love some new followers!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ok lastly I received 
 
from not 1 but 2 awesome blogging buddy's ~ or "Blends" as Jess calls us:)
and

 Here are the rules and guidelines for this award:
~Thank the person who gave you this award. That’s common courtesy.  

~Include a link to their blog. That’s also common courtesy — if you can figure out how to do it. 


~Next, select up to 16 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly. ( I would add, pick blogs or bloggers that are excellent!)
~Nominate those  bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award — you should include a link to their site for others to see how versatile they really are.
~Finally, tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself."
So....
 I am extending this award to some very talented bloggers that I 
am sure you will be delighted in
connecting with yourselves (if you haven't already).
1. Sonia~ Archiving Angel
13. Shelly~ My Paper Love

Now I could go on and on..there are so many totally amazing blogs out there!!!
Please if you are not a follower of any of these blogs you stop by and check them out!
They are top notch in my book!!
Thanks again to Karen and Jessica!!

That is all I have for now.....
Make sure you again stop back later for my
Cutting Cafe DT post!
Happy Hump Day!

  8. Oohh how cool, is that the cameo or silhoutette? Not familiar with either I just know they exist LOL can't wait for you to play so I can figure out if getting one is worth the investment. I have so much invested in Cricut stuff right now, not sure I want to add another machine. I'll be watching so you can talk me in to it! LOL

    A cameo..... Congrats, she's a beauty!! I haven't taken the plunge yet because I don't have an 11 year old haha!!! I totally can relate. It took me 3 months to learn my iPhone and my 7 year old just showed me something new yesterday???

    Have a good night!

  20. Hello Jessica! Thank you so very much for the award & for mentioning me on your blog. I appreciate the plug. I am honored that you would think of me & bestow me the award.
    I will get to sharing it with others soon as I am catching up with blogs & comments. Congrats again on your Cameo. I know you will make the most of it & really bring us some gorgeous creations. Cute how your son helped with your technical woes. I guess we shouldn't be surprised. This generation is so tech savvy.
    All the best my dear friend.
