and I have to say ... I'm startin' to enjoy the ride myself.
Mind you ... you guys are up there in the engine ... and I'm still in the caboose.
But ... I just jumped on board and I'm learning as I go.
Last month my g-baby Parker turned one and I got into ... the decoratin' mojo.
The theme for the party was whales. I found a whale in the
Silhouette Library that matched the whale on the invitation.
I made a front and a back ..... Parker on one side ..... and a number 1 on the other.
Knowing I was going to glue them back to back ... it took me
a few tries to get the words and numbers not to end up backwards.
Before making the fish stick ... I put a ... stick in the fish.
( You get it? I glued the two fish together to make the "fish stick" )
While I was feeling all Silhouette confident ... I tried cutting
some delicate names from blue cardstock.
They turned out amazing ... then they got stuck too.
They made great table decorations in my $1 buckets from Michaels.
I also used them to jazz up the inside my gift bags.
Since I was on a roll ... I added large letters to the outside of the bags.
They doubled as birthday cards as well.
Not a bad start for one of my first Silhouette project.
There's nothing like "personalizing" decorations and gifts
to make the event memorable.....
Now everyone should remember Parker's name.
Grandma's are allowed to brag ... right?
