Today I made some cool embossed papers:

The Makery is open in the basement of my library.  I am very excited.  I signed up for a class in learning to use the new Silhouette machine.  It can do so many things like die cutting over 100 materials.   There are large format printers, laminators, power tools, sewing machines, embroidery machines, button makers, and much more. Here is a Maker Bot 3D printer.  I am also taking a class in using this machine.  I hope to post updates in the future.

Today I went to Paper Source in Oak Brook to purchase some supplies.  And I fell in love with this new botanical paper.  I did not buy it.  But I wanted to share it with you.   Also, trying to paint a cupcake once a week.  It's fun to paint a variety.  The trick is to not be tempted to eat the whole thing later.   This is the first layer only.
