Cut Once and Craft for a Week.


With the addition of two grandchildren, my crafting time has been drastically reduced.  I get an hour here and there to put a small project together, but not the real craft time I desire.  In a effort to get more projects done, I decided to borrow an idea from some busy mom blogs.  "Cook once, eat all week."  So this week, I am cutting once to craft all week!

                                    
                                                         (previous years projects)

  The Bunny Hop kit by SVG Cuts from a few years ago, has one of my favorite projects for Easter.  I love the Bunny box!  I made all the grandkids one several years ago, but with new family members, everyone is getting a new bunny.  I have papers picked and I'm cutting out 8 bunnies to put together this week.  It's the setup process that takes me the longest.  Although this project is easy to pick paper for, cutting and weeding still take a while to do.  It seems I can be in my craftroom, unbothered, for several hours on Friday nights!  I have two more bunnies to cut out, so I shall get back to it!

It's Been A While

Someone may be wondering where I disappeared to, so I thought I would take a minute and update by blog.  In September,  a new grandson was born.  Then in October, and new granddaughter was born.  I watch the grandson and his sister (who turns three in a few days) Monday through Friday and I watch the new granddaughter about 2 Saturdays each month.  That doesn't leave much time or energy for crafting these days.  I do manage to sneak in an item or two here and there.  I did make a free file from Dreaming Tree for preschool teachers.


It was quick and very easy, but looks so nice!  The papers are from my stash.  I got them several years ago.  Makingmemories Je t'adore.  And foil paper I found by chance at the Dollar Tree.   It's called Do It Yourself Projects Holographic and Foil Sheets by Jot.  It came with 20 sheets of varying colors.  I was shocked.  It cut very nicely.  The trim around the bottom was from Micheals.  It's called Fabulous Finds Adhesive Trim.  It's a really fun touch that looks so sparkly.  

I hope to get a rhythm back for more crafting soon.  

Thanks for stopping by!
