Topic: RE: Scrapbooking and card making
I know exactly what you mean.  When I first started scrapbooking, I would bang pages out one after the other.  Now, I spend so much time perfecting my pages that I never finish a layout.  I hate that I feel all my pages look the same.  I bought my Cricut machine almost a year ago, and I too love it!

I'm also an SU! demo!  I am what they call a "hobbyist" demo because I don't teach classes, just make cards and other gifts to sell.  I absolutely LOVE SU!  One thing I've learned, though, is that even when I'm very busy with a card order, I have to make time to get up from my work desk and move around---I'll sit in one spot working on cards for hours!  Now that I've had a VSG, I know that in order to be successful, I have to be more active.  I had surgery on 2/4/09, so I'm still sore, but have been getting on the treadmill a little each day.  Glad to meet all of you!

Those are beautiful. You could sell these! I would love to make one with clear lights within a cobalt blue bottle but am afraid drilling into glass would be beyond my abilities. Would you mind sharing how you do the drilling? Is it a special drill bit?

Topic: RE: Quilting Anyone?
I'm a newbie too...to both the quilting and the sewing machine...it's quite intimidating.  I have one mini quilt that I am almost done with and I have started the top to another.  Sunday I go hang out with some of my husband's cousins and they are going to show me how do bind the mini quilt. 

Applique looks like fun.  I wanna try that in the near future!

Topic: RE: Scrapbooking and card making

I love Scrapbooking/Stamping/Card Making  but have found that the more stuff I get the more paralyzed I become because I want my layout to be perfect...which I know is silly.  I try looking at layouts to model them but mine always seem to come out so simple looking.  I know simple isn't always bad but I often feel like my pages need umph!

Does anyone else run into this problem?

Does anyone here have a cricut?  I've had mine for a little over a year and love it! =0)

Hey!  I am a quilter for the last 35 years.  All self taught and I love to HAND quilt. Although, I wish I could afford a professional quilting machine.  Leah, I would LOVE to own a Bernina!

Topic: RE: Homemade Soaps
Growing up on a farm in Nebraska, I had a depression era mom.  I use to help her make soap from things most of us today would discard as trash.  All she sprang for store bought was the lye.  Of course this was more laundry detergent version soap.  It was better than the ivory snow soap you bought.  I made some once after I got married, and my mother in law had a fit I would use such stuff.  Maybe with the economy like it is, it is a way to start cutting costs again.
