*free music monday

One of many things I love about Amazon mp3 is their free music samples they release. Right now you can head to Amazon and get the Anti Fall Sampler 2009. It's a really good mix of alternative rock music for you to enjoy this week. For the most part you may not recognize many artist on it, except Neko Case, The Swell Season and Islands. But if you're like me, that's what I enjoy, new music from new artists.

One highlight from this free CD are the first track, The Swell Season - In These Arms, a rendition of Hey Ya by Booker T. As well as the final song on the CD by Jason Lyte - Rollin' Home Alone.

*tis the season

So we got this new machine, a Cricut, it is a cutting machine. You program in what you want it to cut, push a button and like magic it cuts. Heather came up with a fun Christmas craft. We started with some plain frames.
Added some red vinly and cut out some letters.

Removed the backs of the frames and super glued the glass to the frames.

Drilled a couple holes and added ribbon.

Stuck on the red vinyl letters and...tis the season!

I also found out the the Cricut can cut out snowflakes!

The hardest part was sticking the letters on the glass straight.
