Cricut Gypsy

Cricut Cartridges Helper

I'm new to Cricut and just getting started but now I want the newest item. A Gypsy. This thing is amazing!!

The Cricut Gypsy

I could do so much with this thing!! I'm always thinking of crafts to do but just cutting with scissors never gives me the look I want to acheive. ugg! I like original ideas so this Gypsy would help a lot!!

I could win one and so could you if you enter here...

___The Hatch Is On!!

It quite often seems as if I'm in such a hurry when I write these journal entries. Uggg! Well, I'll write what I can.

The hatch is coming together. Getting it to fit just right is quite the chore. Sanding, shaving, nailing, on with the hatch, off with the hatch and then again. It's on there and it'll seal that's all that matters I guess.











The Hurricane hinge from Grant will keep it from leaking.





All in all it's a very exciting step for us!

___Diamonds vs. Diamond Plate

Some girls get excited about getting diamonds. Me, I get excited over this kind of diamond. Diamond Plate for the Tear. It's all shiney and new. Can't wait to get it attached!!




There I go again propping it up just to see what it looks like... :o)




So beautiful!!

___TearJerker Gathering at Knoebels

Had some fun at a gathering this past weekend. We went to Knoebels Amusment Park and Campground. We were supposed to be camping but we obviously aren't finished with the Tear yet so we had to cancel and just go for the day.
The TearJerkers are an organization of a bunch of Teardrop and Tiny Travel Trailer owners who gather in Chapters all around the world. This is the Liberty Bell Chapter that we belong to.

Here's some photos from our day.








And some of the kiddos having fun on the rides...

___Ugly Grey to Bright White

The roof material is getting on the Tear. I'm not liking that it's not smooth but hope that it will eventually take on a smooth texture the more coats I get on there.

It's gonna start to rain later I know it. It's real cloudy today. We'll get some coats on then put her away for the evening.







I'm also not liking the way she's looking, kinda like bed head, the paper needs to come off real soon. I like seeing a finished product and she's not real purdy at the moment. Uggg!

___Up On The Roof

The roof is goin' on. Grey part first then white. Thanks to S we have the material and know how to get this thing under cover.

We've had two beautiful days to get it done on this Labor Day weekend.










Thanks for your help S!

___It's In The Bag!

I bought a bag for day trips when we go camping in the Tear. Got it at IKEA. I think it will work perfect!


It's got a zipper pocket and also mesh side pockets.


I even has inside mesh pockets. And nicely insulated.


Only paid 5 buckeroos for it. NICE!!!

___I've Got Mail!

Hubby just told me that he has asked for vacation in September. We're gonna work on the Tear. Yay!
We just may be camping this season after all! Maybe even attending the TearJerkers gathering in October.
