How To Make A Bitmoji Christmas Ornament With Cricut -

I love these!  I do wish I had used white glitter though.  I think the white background is a better look.  I didn't have white glitter, and I was too impatient to wait...

First, go to the bitmoji app - 

Bitmoji is available for Android, Iphone, & windows chrome.  My screen shots are from Android.

Create your bitmoji, if you do not already have one.  There are TWO style options:
Click on the three dots on the right - that's where you will find settings,
Then choose Change Avatar Style.

This is the difference:
 
Bitmoji's all look a bit alike - and extra cartoonish.
Bitstrips are a bit more distinctive, and usually the choice you want for this project.
The images on this screen have necks and collars - so it is easiest to go back out to where you customize your image, and screenshot that screen:


crop that down - 
Send this image from your phone to your computer.  (Most email it to themselves, I like facebook messenger for quickly sending photos between my devices. Just send the message to yourself.)


Open Cricut design space, new project, and upload your screenshot.
Now start to delete the excess.  This takes a bit of experimenting, to see what you like.  Use the preview button in the bottom as you are erasing things, to decide what you like.
This is what I ended up with:

When you go to make this, be sure it it set to cut, NOT print and cut.
I sized it to just under 2x2 for this ornament.

And that's how I ended up with this:

How To Use New Fonts In Phonto On Android

There are lots of apps to add fonts to android devices, but I really didn't want to add fonts to my android system.  I have a zillion fonts on my phone already.  What I wanted was to be able to use fonts like I love Glitter in Phonto.   Cliff Notes - Just add them to the fonts folder in the Phonto App.  Phonto has a "how to" for installing fonts on android, but it did not work for me.  This is what worked: My fonts are all backed up in dropbox. That makes this simple - but you could also send the font to your phone through email, and save to your downloads folder.   I just opened dropbox, went to the font, clicked on it, chose export/save to device, and saved to my downloads folder. Then I went to my downloads folder (Use "My Files" - in your app drawer. )  LONG click on the font.  If you just open it, you may get a message saying you do not have an app to pen this file.  You want to select the font, which you do by holding down on ...

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts.  For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or ().  I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here.  If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos.

Dr Doolittle's Roadside Cafe & Creamery

The "Lower" Restaurant.  There's a second restaurant up the hill, right next to this. I originally saw this place on one of the many roadside PA facebook groups I follow.  I thought it would be a fun place to stop for lunch on our way to the ASPGB 2017 - and I was not disappointed. There's normally an amish buggy here, being pulled by either the dinosaur or Sasquatch - but it was missing when we were here.   I've seen photos of an alpaca and goats here..  near this barn area.  We didn't see them when we stopped, they might have all been inside? There's a lot of road noise if you eat outside, but we sat right at the front of the outdoor seating, not realizing that there was more outside seating behind the walk up counter.  Just go back past the party barn, and you can sit between the train cars below, and the back of the lower restaurant. There are train cars everywhere you turn... I really wanted to play mini golf - but we didn't have time, and I'm...
