Guys Night Out

Matt went out tonight with some guys from church, so I had yet another chance to get some therapeutic crafting done. I don't know why but it really is like therapy for me. Just being able to sit, listen to music, create things, and it might sound weird but just be alone. (Although I did put Jacob down an hour early, so that has helped keep the noise down) Lately i've felt like we've made some really good decisions for our family over the past few months. One of the best, getting rid of cable. It was hard at first but it's amazing how much TV we don't watch. And the only reason I bring it up is because I know if we had I'd be watching TV right now. So anyways I made some sketch books. I got the idea here. (one of my favorite blogs) She has alot of really good ideas, and for this particular project she provides a free download for the templates that go inside. Making it super simple, although you have to make the outside cover yourself. I made one for myself and then one to give away. My mother-in-law bought my old cricut machine off of Matt, so he could get me the bigger machine for Christmas. So i've owed her big time! Anyways here they are, pretty simple, and if you like to make cards you should make one, so you have a place to store all your ideas for cards :).

This is a picture of the inside, it's hard to see but if your interested in making one, here's the link for the download.

That's all! I just got a text from Matt and he's on his way home. He's bringing me a butter finger blast from sonic yummy.........
