Farm girl layout, and 'Cricut' for sale

 
Hello, and happy Saturday to everyone :)  I hope you are having a lovely weekend. I am a bit excited, as my hubby and I are heading away for a few days, by ourselves, yes, thats right,with no kids !!!  With 5 kids, I could count on one hand the amount of times I have been away from them in the last 22 years..  But, we have 3 days, staying at a beautiful beach house in South Australia. I will have lots of photos to share when I get back  :)

OK, well, for those of you who know me, you would know that I am a 'die addict'.. A year or so back, i bought myself a cricut 12" expression machine, and a few cartridges, thinking I would get lots of use out of it? But, Im finding, with the amount of dies I have, i really do have most of the shapes i need, and dont tend to use my Cricut as much as I should. So, Im selling it..  Its nearly brand new, only used a few times, and it also includes 7 great cartridges, some of those never used, plus a new cutting mat, and 2 new replacement blades as well. If anyone is interested, email me at karen_shady  [ @ ] ymail.com and get the details.


 
Now, for a last minute share. This is another layout I did for The Dusty Attic. If you havnt visited the DA blog in a while, OMGoodness, you really need to. The design girls are amazing ( if I do say so myself lol), and the blog, and the NING site are chock full of tips, and techniques, as well as tonnes of beautiful work.

This is a cute layout I did, of my oldest daughter, she is such a softie for animals, she always had some sort of critter she was caring for, be it a bird, a kitten, and injured animal she bought home, or a lamb or calf...  I adore these gorgeous October Afternoon papers, and they were just perfect for these photos.
 

 
Ive used the Dusty Attic small farm fence, and painted it in the new range of paint, which The dusty attic has just released... You should see the gorgeous colours..  HERE
 
 
 

  
 Ok, Id better get going and start packing, woo hoo... I will be back next week, with some more shares from both The Dusty Attic, and Manor House Creations. Thanks so much for calling in, and have a wonderful weekend xx
