Writing on our walls....


We are having the time of our lives mixing the cricut and vinyl! 

Personalized words add so much warmth to a home! 

For this project we used SCAL to layout the words and the cricut to cut them out on Black Matte vinyl.  The matte finish really gives the right 'feel' in our down-home country rooster kitchen! 

We used medium speed, blade depth of 6 and medium pressure.   It gave us just the right kiss-cut meaning it cut through the vinyl but not the backing, which made it easy to transfer to the sticky transfer paper.  Once on the transfer paper, it was a breeze to adhere to the wall!   

Check back soon to see more writing on our walls!

Meet Mama Killdeer!!!

Wow! For the past couple weeks each day when we come in or out of our side service door we see and believe us, hear Mama Killdeer!  A loud shreaking "killl-deee....dee....dee..dee....dee.  Now don't get us wrong, we enjoy their company usually all summer long... BUT this Spring, mama seems to be pretty loud!  As we walk in to the garage, Mama jumps out of the tulip patch and runs in to the grass... ruffles her feathers and appears to have a broken wing... Well, naturally we want to help her, but come on ... the closer we get to her, the further towards the road she runs.  OK, so after about 2 weeks of playing the I'll help you game, I decided to check out the tulip patch a bit closer tonight..... and this is what I found!!!
