SILHOUETTE CAMEO!!

I have waited a long time for this purchase :) Finally took the plunge and ordered myself my very own Silhouette Cameo. It is a die cutting machine that can print as well...actually I'm pretty sure this thing can do anything, and I am so excited!  I have some more playing around to do, but am enjoying this crafty sidekick immensely :)

Here's day one:

Looking Back: 2011

I know, I know, we are well into 2012. This post should have been done about 2 weeks ago. But, better late than never, right?

2011 was an eventful year for the Schmelzer's. Take a look:

Our year started in Rockford, IL with one of the worst snowstorms on record.

Cecilia Kate turned 3! Look at that amazing Dora cake :)

Mom, Molly, Ellie and Cece visited us in Illinois and we took a trip to the Windy City.
