Admittedly, this is really soon to share another Silhouette project, but I was so excited to use this machine, I signed up for ALL the upcoming promotions – hahaha! And, I’m glad I did because I just found out I get to give away ANOTHER Silhouette Portrait electronic cutting machine!!! The heat transfer materials for the machine are one of the products that I have been drooling over for quite a while! I didn’t have a lot of time to get fancy with this first heat transfer project and I have been wanting to cut out this little bicycle for so long, it had to be done before anything else. The bicycle is one of the images that is included in the free set of heat transfer downloads that you get when you purchase the heat transfer kit. Could it be any easier? I put this bicycle onto a fabric frame that I also cut out with the Silhouette using the sewable fabric interfacing. I first ironed the background frame onto a plain-ish pillow; then I used a really narrow, short zig-zag stitch to go around the whole thing. After the pillow was ready, I ironed on the bicycle heat transfer. Done! You can find a simple, envelope-style pillow tutorial here.
Silhouette is offering a promotional price for their Heat Transfer Starter Kit as well as the Cameo or Portrait cutting machines. You can purchase any of these products through the following promotional link: Silhouette Heat Transfer Promotion . The promotional price is available from June 4-June 15, 2013 using my affiliate code: GIRLINSPIRED . Have fun! I think I might get some of the printable heat transfer material – that looks super cool!

Umm…..”why did the chicken cross the road?”
Thats about all I’ve got! My 4 year old loves to make up jokes that have no reason to them at all but it’s cute anyway. She might say something like “to get the pumpkin on the hair bow!” (I know, it makes no sense so don’t even try!)

So, these two muffins were in an oven. The one muffin looked at the other muffin and said, “Boy, is it hot in here!” The second muffin looked at the first muffin and said, “Ahhhh! A talking muffin!”

Flight Control Center asks the pilot:
-Who is landing here?
The pilot decides to make a joke:
– Guess who, – he asks

– Guess where..

I have no jokes but I have a funny story. When my niece turned 7 she wanted her ears pierced. She asked me if it would hurt and I honestly answered her with a yes. My 4 year old nephew who had been silent through the discussion looked at me and said “will they be EARitating?” I haven’t laughed that hard in ages. Kids are so funny!

I wish I had a succinct joke, but I don’t, and when I asked my husband, his wasn’t appropriate to share. I hope you have a lovely weekend!
Karen Propes says
Ok, I heard this the other day.
A couple was watching a TV soap opera, and the husband became irritated by the way his wife was taking it to heart. “How can you sit there and cry about the made-up troubles of people you have never even met?” he asked.
She replied: “The same way you can jump up and scream when some guy you have never met scores a touchdown,”
Thanks so much for this fabulous giveaway.
