I’ve been a busy bee these past few days because I’m about to take the next five days off.  The kids and I, along with some other moms and friends, are embarking on a Bahamas Disney Cruise Monday morning.  What a way to end summer break, right!?!?!  So, this installment of Monogram Monday is coming to you a few hours early.

The biggest news of the week is that I finally had to purchase a new vinyl cutting machine.  I stuck with the Silhouette Cameo (this time I got the 3) and I am pleasantly surprised by how much these machines have improved since I got my first generation Cameo several years ago.  I’ve had lots of fun with it.  Isn’t she beautiful?  I got the sparkly aqua color.  IMG_9510IMG_9517IMG_95126DBE9E72-2D5E-4A51-B2A9-D4CB1461F45FLike last year, I had some fun with the “tickled pink” theme for the first day of school.  Emery is entering middle school and will have many different teachers throughout the day, so I didn’t do anything for her teachers.  This is for Bodie’s teacher.IMG_9524IMG_9525IMG_9527As for embroidery, lots of towels and birthday gifts this week.  And a giant comforter that was quite challenging and if I never have to do one of these again I’m just fine with that.  IMG_9544IMG_9543IMG_9528IMG_9511IMG_9530The monogrammed saddle pad goes with the Contigo water bottle.  What a fun gift for a little equestrian.

That’s all for now!  Gotta get some shuteye before our big adventure tomorrow.
