Elmer's Goodies!!!

So I am a Buzz Agent. If you don't know what that is, it is a really cool site where you get to be part of campaigns to try products or services and then give feedback. I've been doing it for a couple of years now and it is fun. You give honest and open feedback about the products on surveys, facebook, and now my blog. Why my blog? Well, because the latest campaign is scrapbook related, that's why!

I got this pile of Elmer's and Xacto products as part of the campaign to try.  Well I have to say that I am really liking everything!  The adhesives work great and the tools are also working very well.  Have any of you tried any of these product?  I'd love to hear what you think. 

I've seen most of the items pictured at my local Wal-Mart store in the crafts section.  I would love to get your feedback if you have tried any of the items so just feel free to post a comment below!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

Well, over on Craft Test Dummies that is!  Check out my latest Christmas project using product from Tada Studios!  Follow the link below to check it out!

Time and.........BIG NEWS!!!!!

Oh my, where does the time go? It appears it has been a couple of weeks since I posted! I have been so very busy and hopefully by the second week in November things will slow down. I have a huge project undertaking at my daughter's school that is taking 30-40 hours of my time per week, but it is temporary until mid-November. Then hopefully things will be back to normal.

Now for big news....many of you already know that I am part of the Cricut Circle Design Team. For those of you who didn't know, well, now you do! I am so lucky to get the chance to create on a regular basis using my very favorite piece of equipment called the Cricut Expression. I love, love, love my machine! Now I get to use it to inspire Cricut Circle members in the monthly online magazine! So what news do I have for you.......how will it benefit you???????

Let me just say that you will want to keep a very close eye on my blog for the next couple of days. I am going to be doing a big giveaway.....I mean BIG! Let's just say it has to do with a wonderful Provo Craft product as well.......

Feel free to guess while you wait......
