Hello from Italy!

We are now with our friends outside of Lucca - and I finally have a good internet connection. I have been sending a few reports to the Cutting Above blog about my travels with the Gypsy so if you want to see a bit of what we have been doing you can visit Cutting Above (click for a link) and see those posts. You can also find out how the Gypsy is working out for me so far. Don't forget to sign up for the chance to win one of two Gypsies that will be given away by Cutting Above (this link will take you to the giveaway post).

When I picked up my email I found something very exciting - I was asked and have agreed to be part of another great giveaway that I know a lot of you will be interested in. Be sure to check on Monday, September 28th (the day we fly home) to see all the details and find out what you can win!

As you know, I designed the variations on a single Cricut image series of cards to post each day while I was away. I was happy to see that they have been appearing as scheduled. I hope some of you have been able to try these. If you do not have the Wedding cartridge you could search your cartridges for an image that has some interior lines that can be hidden and try something similar. I'd love to see what you have made with these files.

Remarkably, my prediction of what we would be doing today was correct and we are heading in to Lucca to go to the market - I wonder what I will find.....
