Carousel

When I heard that Walmart had a special online offer for the Lite Cricut cartridges, I had to send off for a couple. As usual, I was late to the party, and got Handyman, but wasn't sure about the remaining cartridges at all, in the end I ticked the box for Carousel

The first thing I do when I get a new cartridge (after breaking my nails to get into the packaging) is to read the handbook. I read it as if it was a magazine, slowly, digesting every detail, then I read it again....... during this process, certain cuts leap out at me. The first one was the water ride, which I cut at 3". I added hand cut drops of water to fly up, and I splashed drops of glossy accents on the 'water'

Then I spotted the strong man, and the words Incredible Hulk jumped into my mind, so this is my punny offering with that cut - I thought it would make a good birthday card for someone to give to a boyfriend or husband. No, Mike will not be getting this card, he would fall about laughing if I sent it to him or think that I was making some not-so-subtle wifely statement

So I was waiting for my coffee alongside some guy. They brought his coffee and said ' cream, two sugars, right?'
'NO' he replied in a horrified voice 'just cream, no sugar'
So they went away to remake it
He then started to tell me how sugar was the hardest substance for the body to digest, he hadn't touched the stuff for 22 years - he was quite evangelical in his anti sugar stance. Of course, I agreed with him, having discovered some time ago that it is better to agree with everything anybody says in Dunkin Donuts. So there we were, me nodding in agreement, him carrying on, and on, and on about the evils of sugar...........
Then they brought out my coffee





Oops!

See you tomorrow
