Okay, I'll lay off posting on the buckets for a minute but I wanted to show you guys how easy it is to fill them with gifts and wrap them up.

Still at it with the buckets!!! Whew!!! I'm tired, but this is so much fun. I don't know what I'm going to do after I run out of birthdays!!! 8-)

Badges made for my DD and her BFF whose birthdays are 3 days apart.

Sooooo, the hubs had the garage door open and my little neighbor Hector saw my buckets and had a fit!!! He said "what is she going to do with all those buckets?" Hubs said "well she decorates them and gives them away, she uses them as birthday .......(before he could finish) Hector said "Birthday?? (so excited he could hardly get his words out) tell her I have a Birthday tomorrow and I need a bucket!!!" Lol, so this is what I whipped up really quick late last night. Now I'm at work sleepy. The things we do for kids!!!

Buckets!!!!!

With all the craze over the buckets on clearance at Michaels for .20 each. I thought I would posts some ideas to do with them. These are not my ideas!!!! Google, Pinterest and others..

Vinyl!!!Haul!!( Not mine though)

Vinyl!!

Toy Storage

Baby Storage

Decorations. See the shovels in the candy dish? Love it!!!

Easter!!

Loving my Cameo!!!

I have a lot of "toys" to play with, but right now I'm just enjoying learning more about my Silhouette Cameo. I love how it can cut in the most intricate details.

Here's a Filigree Card I made from a design in the Silhouette Store. The "With Sympathy" is cut in vinyl and also purchased from the Silhouette Store. Sorry, the pictures just don't do it justice. The base is a shimmering baby blue and the filigree is a shimmering cobalt blue. Probably should have taken the picture with my camera instead of my phone.

And here's the inside, done with the Silhouette Sketch Pens. Again, the picture doesn't do it justice. The ink is a metallic baby blue. Gorgeous!! If your handwriting is sub-par, this is the way to go!!

Stickpins!!!!

These are some stickpins I made for a swap I participated in. It was so much fun!!! This was my first swap ever and needless to say I was very nervous about it. All my worrying was for nil!! The gals in the swap were so friendly and helpful.

A few more to view:

These are my stickpin holders. I made these slider boxes (thanks YouTube!!) to hold my pins securely during their travels to other members of the swap.
