I broke down and got an IMAGINE!!!!
WOWZA!! I had no where to put it(its HUGE!!!), so I went on line http://www.walmart.com/ and got this cart.
It is PERFECT!!!!! I LOVE IT!!!! free shipping too if you pick it up at the store.

I have my Imagine on top and my Expression on the 2nd shelf -there's plenty of room I don't need to move my expression when I open it.(there's a lip on the shelves and it does NOT interfere with the mats) and on the bottom I have my 12x24 mat and my cricut mats to the left and my imagine mat on the right. This cart is SUPER NICE and VERY STURDY and very easy to put together.

my imagine looks naked...I wonder if my DM will make a cover for it to match the other one.....LOL!!

LOL..thats one of those "shadow" pics of me when I was little.

Organization

I'm a crafter! not a carpenter!!! but I did it!!! Did what? I made a dolly for my jetmax cubes!!YIPPIE!!!! LOVE THEM!!! It measures 28.5w x 14.5 deep(I cut crooked!)LOL so the 2nd one is 29"w x 15"d (much better!!).
Supplies: 5-1x4x4(the cheapest), 12-2" heavy duty swivel wheels, 48-1/4"x2" bolts, 48-1/4"washers, 48-1/4" nuts, small can of white paint> those supplies cost about $70 and I made two dollies < you'll also need a  saw, 1/4" drill bit, drill, pencil, ruler and felt(i cut 1/2" squares for the top of the bolts so it wouldn't scratch up my cubes. NOW I can move my cubes around with EASE!!!!! LOL!!! Oh, BEFORE DRILLING-I "wood glued" all the wood pieces together FIRST(let dry) then drilled the holes for the wheels.
I also just painted the edges of the boards cuz your cubes will cover the top.

Heres the second one-I still need to paint it

2011 Family Easter Cards
Supplies:
 Stampin Up cardstock; Not Quite Navy, Cajun Craze, Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze and Blush Blossom.
Carts: Chore Chart, George and Basic Shapes and Indie Art
Embossing Folders: D'Vine Swirls and Swiss Dots.
All the wording was done on the computer.
The cross was created on my gypsy- I used the rectangles from George for the cross and the rain drop from Indie Art for the body and the wings from Indie Art for the arms. I stretched and shrunk the shapes to my likeness then I welded everything together. I used SU dimensionals on the cross too.
