  I'm so excited about this project, quite possibly because it's for one of my favorite people on earth. Our grandson.  :-)  I took photos from his visit to our farm this summer, converted them to coloring book pages, added additional pages by googling " farm coloring book pages" or specifically "goat coloring page", and then I made two pages of stickers using the print and cut feature in Cricuts Design space, and bound it all together  into a book for him. For the next one, I am going to do coloring pages of construction equipment, and photo stickers of him and his daddy and his Opa, to add to the pages...

After spending two days making earrings, out of all sorts of different faux leathers, I have a better idea of which settings work..  Although I admittedly still have a lot to learn!  These are all the things that worked, and did not work, for me as I made what feels like a zillion pairs this week. The Cliff Notes: Faux leather  from a local fabric surplus store .  (But you can buy it at any craft store, and many fabric stores.) Roughly $3 a sq foot appears normal,  I used the Cricut Air 2 , & the regular blade that came in the machine, & also a deep cut blade.  Almost always the regular fine point blade did MUCH better than the deep cut. I used the purple mat, and a brand new green mat.   A sticky mat is SO important, be prepared to wash it after every cut or at least every other.

Last year I saw star maps made as signs for weddings.  I love them, but I don't have much empty wall space here. As I was making Christmas ornaments this year, I realized I could easily convert this idea into a Christmas ornament - and there's always room for more Christmas ornaments here.  :-) Cliff Notes: Star map from here:  https://www.fourmilab.ch/cgi-bin/Yoursky Printable Transparency paper from here:  Grafix brand 4 inch plastic disk ornaments, from Michaels (although you can use a variety of sizes!)
