With six months of waiting I finally got to get the first issue off the shelf at my local Michael’s last night. It was a bit surreal standing in the corner of my Michael’s flipping through the February issue of Cricut magazine and there it was! I felt like Martha Stewart for one hot minute. . . without her enormous empire and bank account!
Back to the reality of laundry, housecleaning, and taking care of the two best things I ever made! Still it was super fun to be known other than “just a mom that lives in sweats and t-shirts” for a minute.
I think it is neat that my kids are seeing me shoot for dreams and challenges and achieving success within my scope of reality. I hope that these are examples that will resonate with them as they mature into amazing young women, that it is OK to put yourself and your talent out there no matter where you are in life and sometimes the payoff is very rewarding and self-fulfilling.
Thanks for sharing a piece of “15 minutes of Cricut crafting fame” pie with me!
