Welcome!

For years I've been told I should start a blog and for years I wasn't sure exactly what I have to contribute that anyone would want to read. I am a Jack of many trades, a master of none. I am a mother of 3 beautiful girls, Jennifer, Danielle, and Julia, and a very proud Meme to 2 Grandchildren, Lily and Brynn. I am a waitress by profession, even though I have a degree in Computer Science. I love to garden, but here in New Hampshire it is a short growing season so in a desperate attempt to curve the winter doldrums over the years I have found much satisfaction in learning the drums, yes, I said drums, AND I have discovered the world of Silhouette Cameo! I am not GREAT at paper and vinyl crafting. What I am good at is looking at something and thinking to myself "Wow that's expensive, I bet I can make that for less"! Call it thrifty, call it cheap, I like to call it resourceful! 

It was while scanning one of my favorite Cameo sites for inspiration that I decided to post one of the creations that I made using my Cameo and the response was very encouraging. What I noticed by all who responded to my posts was that they all had a blog, a place to display their works and in some cases a tutorial on how it was done. Some tutorials I had seen elsewhere, but that was okay, because of the vastness of the internet perhaps someone else had not, and so I thought maybe I do have something to offer! So here I am, my little spot on the internet where I can display some of my knock offs, I mean creations, I hope you enjoy!
