Casey's Homemade Circut Board with Help From Cricut Imagine...

Casey got to do a special project in science because he is advanced and wanted a challenge to do. So his teacher gave him a circut board project for extra credit. He got 2 letter grades for doing this. Basically what this is all about is 7 elements which include Lead, Copper, Hydrogen, Oxygen, Zinc and Chlorine. Casey had to take speaker wire, brads and christmas tree light bulbs and make the lights light up when you take a 9 volt battery and place them on the 2 brads next to each element. The christmas tree lights were placed in a hole under each of the 6 elements in the chart taped on the cardboard. Then he had to take the speaker wire and an soldering iron and attach the speaker wire to each of the brad ends and the christmas tree lights. He did not solder the christmas tree lights. The wire was just twisted around them. The point of this project is when you take a 9 volt battery and place it on each element's brad the chart will light up.  He had a great time making this with his dad. Since it was around Christmas time he wanted to print out a christmas tree on the Cricut Imagine. I am very proud of Casey for being so advanced and for asking his teacher to challenge him. Great job Casey!! I am very proud of you!! Big Cricut Hugs.. ~Terri

Supplies Used:

12 Gold Colored Brads
Speaker Wire
Clear Packing Tape
9 Volt Battery
Soldering Iron
Element Chart
Cardboard
Cricut Imagine for the Christmas Tree

Happy New Year & An Update from Christmas....

Hi everyone!!  Sorry that I have not been on here posting lately. Boy, it has been awhile since I have posted anything. Things have been pretty, well really hectic around here. How was everyone's Christmas? Ours was great as always. Den, my sweet husband went out on the 23rd while I was still sleeping in the early morning to buy gifts for Casey and Hallie. On his way home he called me because I had a doctor's appointment that morning and he wanted to know when I had to leave. I had no idea that he had even left... so I told him my appointment time which was in just about an hour or so. He had told me that he bought me a "prize" and he asked me if I wanted it now or on Christmas. First of all I had NO idea what he had bought for me and I was so excited like a little kid..lol so I said I want it  now..lol. He bought me a new computer and I was completely shocked and very happy because my computer was literally dying. We looked at computers when we went to Best Buy just the day or so before and they were out of stock. So when he came home with a new computer for me I was surprised...very surprised. He did not have to get me anything because he bought me the Cricut Imagine for Christmas. How sweet is he? Anyhow, our kids Casey and Hallie were happy as usual on Christmas morning. They got every thing they asked for. It is hard to believe that Christmas came that fast and now it is over. In just 25 minutes 2012 will be here then on January 3rd my sweet Hallie will turn 11. Now I really can't believe that. Anyhow, I hope you all have a safe & Happy New Year and I hope that your Christmas was just as great as it was for our family. Things should be calming down so I should be able to spend time getting back to my blog again. I really missed you all and posting things. Anyhow, just wanted to give you a quick update and wish you all a Very Happy New Year!! ~Big Cricut Hugs... Terri

A Very Cricut Imagine Thanksgiving...

Happy Thanksgiving to all of my wonderful blog readers and followers! I hope you got to spend a wonderful day with your family and friends. Today my husband Den surprised me when he came home from his family's house from Thanksgiving dinner and told me about the black friday at Walmart and how the Cricut Imagine was on sale for only $187.00 and it came with 3 cartridges. His mom was going to buy one also so I said "Yes, I want one"!! lol.. So I went up to our local Walmart about  3 1/2 hours early to wait in line since they only had 7 machines in total. Once I got there I grabbed 2 of them. One for me and one for my mother in law. They would not allow us to put them in our carts until it was 10pm on the dot. So we stood there all that time making sure that we would each get a machine. When we were leaving they ended up having 4 machines left. I could not believe that I spent all that time waiting in line and only 3 Imagines were sold. Oh well.. better safe then sorry.

I wanted to thank all of you who have emailed me in regards to the raffle that I am working on for my friend who is trying to get out of a domestic abusive situation. I am working on getting sponsors to add to the raffle. Once I have everything in place I will post all of the details and I will give you plenty of time in advance so you know when it will begin.

Hopefully you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got to spend time with your families. I will talk to you all very soon.

Silence Hides Violence Raffle Announcement...

Every 15 Seconds A Women Is Abused In

The United States!

Sadly, One of my closest friends is trying to get out of a domestic abusive relationship and she needs help...

 alot of help.

Unfortunately she does not have any family that can help or assist her in this time of need.

So Two Pink Peas is going to have a Raffle for my friend and you will have a chance to win an amazing bundle of prizes.

First you will have a chance to win a

 $75.00 HSN Gift Certificate and on top of that included will be 5 to 7 Cricut Cartridges and

2 or 3 12" x 12" DCWV Mat Stacks

and I possibly will add more items as we go.

Stay tuned for more information as I begin to put this together.  This is for a great cause and Domestic Violence needs to be stomped out once and for all. It literally breaks my heart when I hear a woman tell me that they have been or are in an abusive situation. I am sure that you may know someone who has gone through a domestic abuse situation. Helping abused women is so important to our family that we donate money to our local Women's Shelter every single month. We also give them the clothes and shoes our kids have out grown, unused products, any other household items and furniture they may need. Putting an end to Domestic Violence is very important and dear to me! After hearing that my very close friend from high school is dealing with this I had to try and help.

By doing a raffle I believe we can raise some money to help this family and try to take some of this intense

pressure off of their shoulders.

If any of you wish to donate items for this raffle please email me or leave a comment below. Any and all help is very much appreciated and I know that this family appreciates every thing that I am doing to try and help her in this desperate time of need.  I will be announcing this raffle very soon and if you can keep this family in your prayers we would appreciate that so very much!

Big Cricut Hugs to you all,

~Terri

Swarovski Crystal & Pearl Rings

What is a Bead Ring?

Our Swarovski bead rings feature elegant Swarovski crystals and Swarovski pearls set in rhinestone-crusted rondelles and accented with sterling-silver findings. All Swarovski bead rings are strung on a stretchy cord which allows the wearer to easily slip the ring on and off the finger. It also allows for flexible, comfortable sizing.

Swarovski Crystals

Swarovski crystals are widely regarded as the highest quality crystal beads in the world. The Swarovski company uses a special compound in its glass which creates maximum surface luster (i.e. sparkle) and allows for a delicate palette of crystal colors. Using 3D computer simulations, they optimize each crystal design, positioning of the hundreds of facets to create maximum light reflection. And their precision cutting machinery allows for perfect facet juncture cuts—meaning each facet juncture meets at precisely the same point.

Swarovski Pearls

Swarovski pearls are exquisitely crafted using a heart of the finest Austrian crystal which has been finished with layers of highly luminous pearlescent coating. The crystal core and evenly applied coating give these Swarovski pearls a balance, luminosity, and luster similar to that of real pearls. To the touch, Swarovski pearls provide the same sensual experience valued by pearl enthusiasts. And like natural pearls, Swarovski pearls adjust to the temperature of the skin. Swarovski pearls are more durable than natural pearls. They are abrasion proof and resistant to UV light, scratches, perspiration, and perfume. They will not be damaged by washing or dry cleaning.

Shopping for a Bead Ring

Our Swarovski bead rings come in a variety of colors and styles. Choose a Swarovski crystal ring for maximum sparkle and brilliance or a Swarovski pearl ring for classic elegance and luster. If you don’t know your ring size, you’ll want to use our convenient ring sizing tool to ensure you get the right fit. Also, you can consider these beautiful pieces of jewelry for Christmas, Birthday's or A Just Because Gift. You can find bead watches, charm cluster necklaces, mother's bracelets and

Two Pink Peas 1st Blogoversary Is Today...YAY!!

Happy 1st Blogoversary to Two Pink Peas! I can't believe it has been one year since I started blogging. It has gone by SO fast but I have loved every second. I want to thank each and every one of my blog followers and blog readers for making my blog so special. If it were not for you my blog would mean nothing, so Thank You, Thank You and Thank You So very much! I appreciate each and every one of you.

I also want to apologize for not being on here for the past few weeks. Our family has been busy with selling our house, finalizing building our new house and our kids have been doing extra activities in their school. Casey is now in 6th grade and he is in band. Well he wanted to join the Jazz Band at his new school. They do not choose 6th graders very often for Jazz Band and he MADE it. He had to audition and did excellent. We are SO very proud of him. Our Hallie started playing the flute in her 5th grade band and has already grown leaps and bounds. It is amazing how fast they have been able to learn how to play it and they are both very good players. I am a proud mama. But I wanted to just thank everyone for always visiting Two Pink Peas and being so loyal to me. It really means alot. I have a TON of new supplies to show you. Maybe I will do that tomorrow. Then I need to get back to making cards and stuff. We have been so busy that  I have not made any cards in a while now and I really miss it. I hope you all have a great day and I will talk to you soon. Oh, I am going to be doing another giveaway soon so stay tuned for that!

Happy Blogoversary to Two Pink Peas!! Yay.. I made it to 1 year.. it is really exciting to me. I owe it all to you!

Sending Big Cricut Hugs To You All....
