Sunday's Slight Obsession

Day #19 of NaBloPoMo and only TEN more days!! (I think I can, I think I can!!!)

Today's Slight Obsession is one I've talked about a lot.

I am slightly (who am I kidding? There's no "slightly" about it!) obsessed with my Silhouette machine.

As I write this, I am listening to it, cut out what I hope will be a very pretty shamrock/flourish "thing."

Today alone, I have cut out a super secret banner (and will be cutting out a different super secret banner tomorrow!), a large shamrock for a canvas I'm making, and a few other odds and ends.

I love this machine.

And this weekend, I experimented and found out that instead of using expensive vinyl, I can use contact paper when I use my Silhouette cutouts as stencils.

This is, by far, one of the best Christmas presents I have ever received. And, I am doing a ton of things with it.

So, yeah... I am fully obsessed with my Silhouette!!!

This is that shamrock/flourish thing I was cutting out. I like to add a seasonal picture in an 8x10 frame on our sofa table. I switch it out for each month. I had to get rid of the Valentine's Day and am now moving on to St. Patrick's Day! I think this is awesome -- just not sure how I'm going to attach it to the gold background yet!!! (And it is a hunter green. My iPhone didn't pull out the right colors.)
