Over at My Cricut Craft Room today you can see all sorts of Mickey projects. Back in May my grandson had a Mickey Mouse birthday party. I have some of those projects for you to view today. I wish I had taken better pictures. I had no idea at the time I was going to use them for a design team project. They are mighty cute though!

So head on over to My Cricut Craft Room and check out all the Mickey Projects posted there. And to all a Magical Day!!

Turkey Shirt

I saw this really cute shirt last year on Pinterest and wanted to make it for my granddaughter. Well, not enough time last year to do that kind of stuff but a whole different ball game this year. So, I got all the stuff and made this cute shirt for her today. I am very excited that I now have the time to be able to do crafty projects for my family and my home.

First picture is the pic from Pinterest:

                                              

And then here is my project...my sewing machine is not working at the moment so I was unable to put her name on it or applique around the turkey body...so I did a hand stitch. I really liked how it turned out. I think it has lots of character.

Taking a 2 week Vacation Break....

Just wanted to let all my readers know that I am going to take a 2 week vacation break from Monday Menus. Hubby is on vacation for 2 weeks and we are going to be in and out and also going out of town to NC to visit family for a few days. So check back on Monday, November 26 for a weekly menu.

My First Post for My Cricut Craft Room

Hello my crafty friends!  Welcome to Theme Day Thursday over at My Cricut Craft Room. We were asked to make a Thanksgiving Home Decor or Table setting project today.

I am so happy to share with you my first creation as a new member of Erica's team over at My Cricut Craft Room. I have so wanted to do this for sooo long. So you get to see lots more of my creations in the future because this is just the motivation I need to keep me crafting all the time, even when I am all by myself. I will let you in on a little secret...I hate to scrapbook/craft alone and can get soooo much more accomplished when I am with others. They give me lots of motivation. So just knowing that there will be so many people looking at my posts and creations will keep that "mo-jo" flowing!

Now on to my project.  I wanted to make a Thanksgiving wreath for my front door but did not have a wreath on hand. So I went looking on Pinterest, one of my favorite places to go for inspiration, and found something similar to my project. So here are my pictures with the details:



I started by cutting out 3 circles at 9" out of chipboard. Then, I cut circles out of my 2 chosen pieces of patterned paper. They are DCWV Doodlin' Around Stack. I inked them with CTMH chocolate ink and then adhered them to the chipboard.

The wreath hanging on my front door. Gather Together was cut from the
Thanksgiving Seasonal cartridge. Sorry, I don't know the size because I cut it at a crop long ago.
Gotta love when someone lets you use a cartridge you like!

Mr. Turkey was cut from Create a Critter at 5". I stickled up his feathers, hat, and wattle.

The pumpkin was also cut from Create a Critter at 5".
Again, I used some stickles to spruce him up!

The cornucopia was cut from Paper Doll Dress Up. I cut the image at 5"
and used stickles on all the fruit and the horn of plenty.

I finished off my "wreath" by hot glueing a length (I forgot to measure) of teal and chocolate ribbon to the backs of the two top circles.

Hope you got some inspiration from my Thanksgiving decor'. Be sure to hop over to My Cricut Craft Room to see the rest of today's awesomeness from my Design Team Sisters!!
