A birthday cat for a sweet girl made with my Cricut. Cut file from Kadoodle Bug Designs.

Aaron takes the oath.

Tight hugs.

Still holding.

Mom, don't cry.

Love you son.

Be safe bro.

See you.

I made this Navy seal for my son's Anchor Away party using my Cricut. I used the Ribbons and Rosettes cartridge and a printed Google image for the center seal. It's now home decor.

My son just recently went to Navy Boot Camp on March 10, 2015. We are trying to raise money to go see him graduate from boot camp before they send him off to school for his Navy job.
