A Huge Box~~

...at my door! :-) :-) :-)



What could it be?

Whoohoo!!  A really special arrival! :-)



Thank you so much for the fabulous giveaway Amanda and Xyron for sponsoring it!!  :-) I feel so very lucky!!



Of course, you know I had to play!  :-) I put in the fabric adhesive cartridge~ it is acid free and it says it is repositionable.  Since I had most of my December banner done, I did the letters with the Creatopia. I cut out the fabric, ran it thru then cut out the letters... next time I will try it the other way, cutting out the letters first. (I love to play!)  (I did hint to hubby that I am going to need some alphabet dies~ I don't think he got it though. LOL)



It worked great, the adhesive was quite sticky, but I could reposition the letters until I got them where I wanted. The book also says it won't gum your needles for hand or machine sewing~ so today I am going to sew around them. I'll let you know how it goes. I will say this though~ the adhesive behind the letters is so soft, it is like I didn't use anything to adhere the fabrics together. I like that! :-) I don't like stiff fusible stuff, so this may be my applique dream come true!  The booklet also says anyone's dies will work in the Creatopia. I need to get a different cartridge, and then I'll slide some of my older scrapbooking dies thru and see.  I know when my DD comes home for break, she is going to love scrapbooking. ;-)  I see loads of fun in our future! :-)

I'll be back tomorrow!~ :-)


B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
