GONE FOR A WHILE

I will be gone for the next week and a half. My husband and I will be traveling to San Antonio to visit family over the next couple of weeks. I won't have any way to scrap or be creatie while I'm gone but I do plan to purchase a few more goodies for my scrap room while I am gone, but don't tell my husband! LOL

LOOK WHAT I MADE!

I had a little help from my hubby but I don't have room in my small craft space to have all of my machines out. I have an embroidery machine, a sewing machine, a Cricut Expression and an Imagine. I wanted to have my Expression out because I cannot use my Imagine for everything so I built a riser for it. We used a 6ft by 12in piece of wood and had it cut into 3 pieces. It is 26 inches wide and 14 inches tall.

I wanted to have room for the screen to open on the Imagine. I also have the handy caddy's underneath my Imagine so that I can pull it out from the wall when I want to use it.

I was going to make a video of the machines in action but my new laptop had to be sent back to the manufacturer because it will not read my SD card! They could not repair it over the phone so I had to ship it back to Samsung to repair.
