Simply Mad About.....

I remember as a kid being really confused when reading one of my favorite books....Alice in Wonderland.  They kept saying they were "Mad" about things.  The Mad Hatter was mad.  The March Hare was mad.  The Cheshire Cat was mad.

What were they so mad about?

Then, finally, either someone set me straight....or I figured it out.....

Mad was referring to a little "crazy".

OHHHHHH!!!!

I can get on board with "a little crazy."  Because, as we all know.....I, myself, am kind of crazy!

I love to get crazy about cool stuff.





I've made it VERY clear that I'm completely MAD about my new Silhouette machine, whom I've named "Scarlett". 

She and I teamed up for a project right before my trip to Disneyland....

THAT I'M COMPLETELY MAD ABOUT!!


I started with this divine gray hoodie. It's a super thin one, with those awesome long sleeves that you can tuck around your fingers when you're cold. (I think I paid around $14 for this one. And I got it at God's store. Target.)




I used the Silhouette software to design my decorations. Just 3 small circles in the familiar pattern. And my statement (in my new favorite font: Bradbury Sans Light)

"mad about the mouse"

I used "Scarlett" to cut out my design from Silhouette's awesome iron-on vinyl in silver.




The vinyl comes in lots of colors. And has all the instructions right on the package. This entire project probably took 15-20 minutes. And that was only because it was my first time. I think next time 10 minutes. Max.




Isn't it kind of divine and mod?  I'm in love with it!  I even had a couple people ask me which Disneyland store I bought it in.  {tee hee}

I'm MAD about this hoodie.  And I'm MAD about that mouse!!



GUESS WHAT ELSE I'M "MAD" ABOUT?


Less Cake {more frosting} has hit (and exceeded) 500 followers! WOW! I knew it was coming....but it really snuck up on me! WHEW!!

Thank you, thank you to so many of you who have looked at my little blog. Who have taken time to leave comments, send e-mails, feature projects, answer my e-mails, leave Facebook notes.....and on and on.....

What an amazing experience this has been so far! I feel like I've made so many new, wonderful friends!

If you're new....welcome! If you're an old-timer....you rule!

500 followers is kind of incredible.

I've been racking my brain for some fun things to celebrate this milestone. And I promise they're coming. Maybe a giveaway or two. YAY!

Until then...

I'm "mad" about my followers!!

  6. So how is "Scarlet" different than a cricut? Since moving out of Utah and out of the country, I am feeling a bit 'out of it'!
