I would love to make 3d projects this summer. They look fun but also look like they will be a challenge. Thank you, Nikki, I have learned so much through the Craft Academy!
I will be working with a group of children at a local Summer Camp. I will also enjoy my first grandchild, and my daughters, one of whom is home from college.
If the ice ever melts off Lake Superior (yikes!), we’ll take the kids to play in the water. Also, practicing their reading, math and handwriting.
I am hoping to spend a week with my daughter at her new home. Thinking taking a silhouette with me would be awesome to make some of the great projects I have seen for home décor. Thanks for this great opportunity!!
My DH and I will working in the Hope Valley Grange food booth at the Washington County Fair in August.
What a great giveaway! The classes are as desirable as the silhouette. I’m always intimidated by new instruments/tools, no matter how much I covet them…lol.
I’m in and out, a couple of side trips and camp for the kiddo!
I will be working – a lot – at my summer job until about July 10. Then celebrating our boy/girl twins’ birthday, lots of swimming in our neighbors’ pool, and hopefully a family vacation!

I’ve always wanted to go to the Jersey shore – Hope you have a wonderful time Nikkii! As for me, I’m taking my 6 yr old daughter to Knott’s Berry Farm, Disneyland, Knott’s Water Park, San Diego County Fair, and Orange County Fair. At least those are the planned things so far. I’m local, so not much traveling involved. Mini stay-cations are nice.
No plans, but hopefully will be able to enjoy some nice weather!

I’m finding new cute patterns to crochet & things to make, in between running my own Café & putting in a new wood floor in my house, taking care of an elderly gentleman, & lots of things around the house. hoping to get some camping & more crocheting done, that’s my relaxing summer. 😉
I love your site and blogs they give me so many ideas… Have to say its one of the reasons I want a Silhouette machine!! You can do so much its amazing!!! Hope I win this machine so I can spend the money on supplies instead and make much much more !!! Thanks for giving us a chance to win this amazing machine!
First I want to say thanks for giving us this offer to win this great machine. Your blog has given me the inspiration to buy this machine. There are endless possibilities you can do with it. If I win the money I save will be spent towards supplies to learn and make tons of beautiful things with the Silhouette. My husband and I are taking a trip to Maine this year. What a great way to be able to showcase pictures from our trip!!
Hopefully having family come & visit me!
A couple staycations this year, money is tight this year.
Our summer will consist of getting some much-needed maintenance work done around our house. We’ll probably throw in a few day-trips, too. Other than that, I plan on using the summer to craft!!!
