MY VERY FIRST IMAGINE PROJECT

I got it Yesterday and OH;   WHY did I ever wait?  Listen, I may be one of the Lucky ones because; I did not have a problem at all setting it up, learning to use it, and NO mechanical malfunctions here.  I Love it!

Anyway here is the first project. 

An ORNAMENT!  Yes, I know Christmas is over!  However, you can never begin to soon!  I used a pickle from Just Because Cards and some Shrinky Dink Ink Jet paper,  Some ribbon from my stash and a few baubles.  I Love it.  It's for a friend who affectionately calls his FIANCE' "Pickle".

What do you think?  Is it a keeper or what....not the ornament THE IMAGINE!

I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Why you ask?  Oh, let me share.... Thursday I turn 44, yes....44.  No I probably do not act my age.  Some days I act younger and immature and on other days some may regard me as a "fuddy duddy".  However, I will be 44.  I really cannot come up with any strong Birthday desires other than crafting.  The paper craft is my love right now.  Hoarding seems to go hand in hand with that.  I have all sorts of trinkets and baubles and shiny things.....and I adore them.  I Love my cricut and all the gadgets that accompany it.  Well, last year..provocraft had to go and invent the Imagine....$500.00 for that little piece of joy.  NOT in my budget!  Well this week end I was on Overstock.com and guess what...there it was....in all of its glory and splendor...THE IMAGINE.....for .......................$299.00.  Oh the agony...what to do, what to do?  Do I bust my resolution of not buying anymore until I have used up some of what I have.  24 hours I toiled with this.  I tried to elicit my husband's opinion thinking it would be a resounding no, it was not.  His reply "Honey, I could never tell you no"  So, I BOUGHT IT! ***insert bells and whistles here***  It should arrive this week.  I want it to come on Thursday and I can act surprised.
