Cricut Expression 2 is To Launch Soon

Wow!  Can't wait, in just a few short hours, the Cricut Expression 2, the 5th Anniversary edition of the Cricut machine will be airing on HSN.  I'm so excited.  Can't wait.  Several websites and Provo Craft are hosting events throughout the internet today.  To find out about these events, go to http://www.cricut.com/ .  One new site I joined today was http://mixologycrafts.wordpress.com/ which announces all kinds of information regards the Provo Crafts products.   I found the latest Hello Thursday releases there and there was even a chance to win a new Cricut Expression 2 by leaving some comments on their blog. 

Just a few short hours -- can't wait -- for those who have been thinking about a cricut, I want to say, that the Cricut Expression is awesome.  It has a touchscreen so there is no need for the overlays.  This will be wonderful for those with arthritis and me with fibromyaligia.  It also can work with some of the Imagine cartridges (Art cartridges).  It has a memory so when you make a speed and depth cut for your paper thickness, it will remember it.  You also can paper placement on you mat.  All things I know I will love about the Cricut Expression.  So I can't wait. 

For those who register their machines by June 1st, you will receive 500 reward points (cricut circle receive 1000 pts).

Birthday Card Made for CMC Challenge

Hi Everyone,
I made this card for CMC Birthday Challenge and I used my Magnolia stamp and copics.  I'm still learning how to blend with the copics.
I went to Tripler on Wednesday and got my IV iron serum and am still adjusting to it.  So, this weekend I'm resting.  I have noticed that my hands and feet sure feel different like they have been chapped all the time. 
Sure glad the Senate and House signed a stop gap measure to extend benefits until the end of next Thursday, but we'll probably be back to the same situation next Thursday (just kicking the can down the road).
Hope you enjoy my card.

I'm planning to work on my Easter cards this weekend.
Aloha
Carol

Wonderful Sunday in Paradise

Greetings Everyone
Yesterday afternoon, my sister picked me up and I got to spend the time with my sister, the boys and Natalie and Nina over at my sister's.  Susan made burokes.  Boy, they were so awesome.  It was so nice spending time together as family. 

Today, we all went to Cornerstone in Mililani Mauka.  Pastor Westbrook's sermon was on Brokenness.  Boy, I totally related to what he was saying.  It seemed like so much of my life was what he was talking about.  I just kept nodding my head yes throughout his sermon because what he was saying was so true.  I was so dizzy this morning so I just took it easy today.  Just tired too.

This afternoon we took naps.  Susan drove Natalie, myself and Nina back to the house.  I'm so wiped out.  I don't know why I'm so tired.  I know God has this issue with my iron levels in his plan and I know on the 6th I have the IV serum thing. 

Tonight I saw 60 minutes on how the banks (Wells Fargo, Citi, HSBC, Bank of America etc.) were using this company called .doc to phoney up documents and now the foreclosure documents going through the courts have this Linda Green name on it that have many different signatures with that same name and the notary knew that it wasn't this lady.  It was suppose to be a real search but it was short circuited to make the money.  So now it is leading to more court cases and countersuits.  Not good!

Aloha for tonight!

Here is one card I made for the Color Me Creative Classroom Challenges.  These are my fifth try at copic coloring.  I have a long way to go, but I am working on it.  These are my second Magnolia card I made using copics so I'm really pleased with that.

Welcome to my First Post

Hi, I'm new to this Blog posting world.  In fact, this is my first.

I'm going to try to post on here when I find some great deals out there in the cyber world for all my friends.  I do this through emails but I can also do this over here.  Maybe that will help some of my friends. 

Also, I want to make more cards and I want to enter more challenges and some of them you have to have your own blog, so here is my first attempt at a blog.  As I go, I will try to make it more beautiful and a reflection of me.  I think I like the name.  So that is a good start.

Hope everyone bears with me as I begin this journey into the blog world.
