Get These Files for a Great Cause!
I have a friend who has the most precious heart and is moving to Indonesia to teach literacy. I can’t post the exact details because of some sensitive custom situations and her affiliation with a missions group, but when she told me I knew I had to do something to help.
Can you imagine getting to heaven and having children surrounding you thanking you for helping them learn to read a Bible?! Most of us will never go to Indonesia, much less teach them to read, but we can help send her.
To do my part, I am selling the instructions to the following projects with 100% going to my friend Tara:
After I receive your donation, I will email you the files. Keep an eye out and check your spam folder if you don’t find them. Thanks!
Let’s Bless a Little Girl Together
Joy from Obsessed with Scrapbooking posted an email she received asking for cards to be sent to a little girl fighting Leukemia.
Hello Joy,
Hope you are doing well. This email is to ask all of you for some help. Hopefully you can post this info on your blog or attach a link to my blog (techniquesbytrish.blogspot.com). I absolutely love your blogs “Obsessed with Scrapbooking” and “Everyday Cricut” and was hoping that you could help spread the word on this card drive i’m holding.
After working for my parents business for 10 years, you get to know your customers pretty well and over time they become more like friends. One of the customers had told me last year that he was thrilled that his niece, Madison, was in remission from Leukemia! Their family was over joyed that such a young girl had beat this vicious cancer (she’s only 6 years old). However, just last week, their family was just hit with the most horrific news……..Madison’s cancer has returned.
Now I personally do not know Madison BUT I’m the type of person who wants to help whenever I can. I know that I cant cure her but I can help with making her day a little better by sending her a card to put a smile on her face.
So, this is where i’m hoping to get your help…..i’m hoping to get a TON of cards to cheer up Madison. “Get well” cards and anything that is super girly would be perfect!!! And if you’d like to send a small gift, ex: a barbie or stuffed animal, im sure it would cheer her up and keep her company while she spends the next several weeks in the hospital. I know she loves pink, butterflies, and anything girly.
If your interested in helping please send your cards/packages to the following address by Friday, October 29th(please have it in the mail on or before that date):
Trisha Theo
Po Box 7806
North Port, Florida 34290
Thank you everyone in advance for spreading the word and helping this young girl get through such a hard time,
TrishPs….if you’d like to send a card to Madison’s parents with words of encoragement or your prayers, their names are Bobby and Maria.
If you’d like to share what you’ve made, Joy has a place under her post to link yours. Of course we also would love to see them on the Learning The Cricut Facebook page too.
Remember-this is about blessing this family. If you don’t have time to make a card, which if you are like me, you may not- pick up a card when you’re grocery shopping. It doesn’t matter if it’s ‘homemade’ or a Cricut masterpiece. Let’s overwhelm this family with love and support!
Goodies from Amazon
I was browsing Amazon and gathered up some great Cricut products that I didn’t know they carried.
And I just have to show you what I am begging my husband for… (I’ve all but given up on the Ipad, lol). I was searching for a better quality video camera than my Flip to shoot some videos for a DVD. A friend recommended this still camera. Huh?! A still camera? No, I need a VIDEO camera. Still, I started looking and this thing just rocks! The features are amazing-so amazing that it could easily replace my big Canon SLR that I carry (lug) around.
Model Highlights: 3D Sweep Panorama, iSweep Panorama Mode, 12.2-megapixel back-illuminated “Exmor R” CMOS image sensor, 1080i AVCHD movie mode, 3.5″ Xtra Fine LCD™ touch screen display, Superior Auto mode. I’ll post the link as I wipe the drool off my keyboard…
And the winner is…

Here’s a menu board I created using Plantin Schoolbook: [IMG]http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m74/Keizerin1/DSC_0008.jpg[/IMG] I would love the From my Kitchen to make the embellishments to this as well since I give them away as gifts! Thanks for the opportunity!

Just wanted to share a blog with you. Joy from Joy’s Life has a complete list of Cricut Cartridges that are available or have been announced. It has a neat selection feature where you can print out what you check-like what you have or want, etc. I’m sure you will enjoy browsing the rest of her blog as well.
I have preordered the Princess Cart and should be getting it soon. So excited! Check in with me on Facebook and let me know what projects you are working on. I have decided to skip St. Patrick’s day and work on Easter instead. Maybe I’ll actually have something to show you if I start now, lol.
