Cricut, Crafting and Cardmaking

My latest addiction is my Cricut and card making!! It's such a great hobby..and something I can do on my days off when I'm trying to stay up late without making too much noise :) For those of you that haven't heard of a Cricut, it's an electronic die-cutting machine that is used to cut out shapes, words, etc to be used on scrapbook pages and cards. I had never made homemade cards before or put a lot of effort into my scrapbook pages; but after getting some inspiration from fellow scrapbooking friends as well as a couple websites and magazines, I've come to realize how much better I could be making my pages!!! It makes me want to go through all my past scrapbooks and start over..but I don't think I'm that ambitious yet! Maybe once I have all my pictures done and I'm looking for a new project.

I got into card making once I realized how much faster they were then scrapbook pages, that and I don't feel like I have to be so worried about the small details. So...if anyone's up for a scrapbook/card making get together let me know..I'd be happy to host one! (that is, if you're willing to accomodate my crazy schedule!)

Thunderbirds Hockey!!

Last night we had an awesome double date with Keren and Steve. We met at The Ram at Kent Station for dinner where we unfortunately had to wait quite a while to be seated, but once we finally were we had some delicious food and good conversation. After dinner we hopped in the car for a quick ride over to the new Showare Center to watch the Thunderbirds Hockey game!!! It was a blast!!! Andy and I hadn't been to a hockey game in at least 4-5 years and had forgotten how much fun they were. Unfortunately there's only a week left in the season because we'd love to see another game. Hopefully we start going to games earlier in the season next year and hit up several more...I'm already looking forward to it. Here are a few highlights of our night in pictures:
