Cricut Cone Wreath





Made this for the Cricut Circle a while back and wanted to share it today.  I was inspired by this blog and her paper cone wreath


 I decided to try the technique and use my Cricut to cut all the cones for me- it made the work go a lot faster!  Here's the final product.  It's hanging in my kitchen. tfl!

Muffins with Mom!

Yesterday at Audrey's Pre-K school, we had Muffins with Mom!

  It was so cute to see all the fun art projects and things the children had made for the moms.  They all painted pictures of their moms- we had to guess which picture was us!  Here is the picture Audrey painted of me-


We had some little muffins, served by the children and juice.  One cut thing was this list of things Audrey would buy me if she dad a million dollars:

The kids sang"I love mommy, I love mommy. Yes, I do, Yes I do.  Mommies are for hugging, mommies are for kissing. I love you. Yes, I do." to the tune of where is thumbkin!

Happy Mother's Day weekend everyone!
