Some Basic Information About My Site and My Files:

First a note about my files:



All my files are for personal use. I do not charge for any files I create. I share them here for others to use for personal use only. Please do not use them to submit for contests, etc. without getting my permission first. Please give credit where credit is due. I will try to do the same. This means I will try to identify where I got an item or a project if I didn't create it myself and there is an identifable source. Sometimes however I use basic clipart or coloring pages. You may however share these files with others for their personal use (you may not charge for them - you may pass them on for free) or you may point them here to my blog to get the files themselves. If a download file is available, it will appear at the bottom of the post and will be in a different color text.



PLEASE NOTE: I reside in the USA where we use the MM/DD/YYYY date format on computers (and in everything else we do!) If you are outside the USA where they use the DD/MM/YYYY date format on computers, you MAY experience an "Unhandled exception" error when you try to open one of my Cricut DS files. It is an error related to the date format. An easy fix is available at SusanBlueRobot's Blog. Susan has a simple HexEdit program and directions which will allow you to alter the date so you can use the files. Note: This is only an issue if the save date of the file is after the 12th of the month! It is also only an issue with DS files. I have never seen this issue with MTC or SCAL.

Where oh where Have I been!?!!

Just wanted to update everyone as to why I have been MIA for the past 3 weeks. First, I went to Cooperstown, NY with my DS for a week. His baseball team played at the Cooperstown Dream Park the last week of June - 1st of July! That was great fun. Then returned home for the 4th of July to celebrate with extended family. Then we headed off to Costa Rica for a family vacation where we zip lined over the rain forest, saw lots of wild animals, a real active volcano and so much more. We had a great time. This was through Adventures by Disney. This was our second vacation with Adventures by Disney and we just love them. We went on the Quest for the West one two years ago.
So, now that we have returned and my pain issues with my cervical spine have reduced some what, I hope to be adding some new things in the next week. Thanks for hanging with me and a special thanks to my "followers" I hope I have some good stuff to share with you soon. One of the new things I'm wanting to work on is air brushing with my copic markers! If anyone has any requests of things they would like to see let me know and I'll see if I am up to the challenge. In the interim, I hope you enjoy some of the pics we took in Costa Rica!

Tennis Racquet

Someone on the Cricut MB was looking for a tennis racquet. I had done one way back over a year ago shortly after DS came out. I didn't realize that I had never posted it here on the blog until I went looking for it. Probably never posted it because I wasn't every really happy with it. Anyway - I thought I would go ahead and post it now. I think it also has a tennis ball with it. Download the Tennis Racquet .cut file. It uses the George cartridge.
