Ha! Well, given that I've blown my month's allotment of soaping fun money in one week on FOs *that I did not need!* (who am I kidding I *NEED* to sniff every FO evah!)... a little payback was due!! Ok @Ephemerella] you started all this, so I think you are the enabler, along with @lsg!

Here are a few of the things that we have used the Cameo for. Unfortunately, I cannot find a photo of the tent with the signage on it.
All of the product labels are on printable vinyl which withstands the wear and tear of packing and unpacking. The wooden sign is regular permanent vinyl and the table sign is a heat transfer vinyl

Hi Melissa!
Absolutely love your design !
Just a quick question: what kind of cricut do you have for the soap paper boxes ? I have a cricut joy on my amazon favourites, that has been standing there because I still do not know whether it is worth the buy (I have only just started making soap...).
Thank you !

It's such an expensive buy though... I'll wait until I understand my needs a little better, and also understand which machine I need

Thank you.
I have a cricut explore. You should still be able to make something like it on the joy but you will only be able to do one at a time.
That is a very wise choice! It's such a big investment. I already learned that much of the vinyl I purchased at Hobby Lobby isn't what I will end up using. Thankfully I can take it back, but a) that's a hassle, and b) every trip to HL means spending more money on cool stuff that I didn't know I wanted.Thanks AliOop !

Try Oracal vinyl. It's my favorite.That is a very wise choice! It's such a big investment. I already learned that much of the vinyl I purchased at Hobby Lobby isn't what I will end up using.

Thanks, I haven't seen that brand, but will look for it. My mistake was buying different colors of HTV for a specific project that I now realize has to be Print and Cut. Doh! I was able to order and receive the correct white HTV for the P&C t-shirt project with my grandsons today. They had a lot of fun, and so did I. But once again, I forgot to get pictures. Doh!

I think Hobby Lobby sells Oracal though there are other places to buy it. Amazon has the black permanent on cheap. and 143vinyl is good.
Your grandsons are going to have such great memories of making things with you
I bet they love coming to your houseI see, thanks. It helps.Thank you.
I know what you mean !!!That is a very wise choice! It's such a big investment. I already learned that much of the vinyl I purchased at Hobby Lobby isn't what I will end up using.

Believe it or not, I think they had more fun doing yardwork with Pop-pop, maybe because he paid them?Your grandsons are going to have such great memories of making things with you
He decided it would be a great way to spend time together, teach them some skills, and lower our yard care bill. They had a blast, but we will see how they feel about it during the summer heat. 
Anyway, they took turns, with one working outside with their grandpa, while the other did the T-shirt project with me. That way, each grandparent had some alone-time with each boy. Then we ate lunch together around the table, talking about what’s happening in their lives. Precious times, indeed.

So I just spent HOURS on this sign today and still have another one to do. It took alot to get the vinyl to sit correctly. I'm still looking at it going "things are crooked". Uggg.

I love it! You have a great eye for design!! Very well done!!!
Don't be too hard on yourself. As a "recovering perfectionist", I can say, Perfection is a real drag. Settle for "80% good enough" and you'll feel better about yourself remembering that others won't miss the extra time & money you might need to put into achieving the 20% to reach "perfection". It isn't worth it.
Wow, I could never... great job!!
