Crafting lately

Kelly's birthday at Olive Garden, theme 80's- crafted costume.


Mardi Gras wreath- mostly from Hobby Lobby. Went with Charles and even though I was hiding my face from embarrassment of Charles goofing off, it was the best time I've ever had at Hobby Lobby.

This was a project I wanted to finish before Christmas, but I just finished it a week ago. I love the painting of Jesus in a manger. I think sometimes we don't really think of him as a baby, and Mary looking down at a 7lb give or take newborn knowing that something so small and helpless will be the Savior of the World. I came across this list of all of the names used for Jesus Christ, pick my favorites and made my own. The paper and mounting square thing was found at Roberts. Frame from Target (thanks Manda) and holder at Hobby Lobby.

Pre Christmas activities

When we all get together I just hand my camera, or it gets commandeered by Manda and she takes lots of fun pictures, so ENJOY!!!!

Festival of Trees 2009

K don't have music on my work computer so went to Amazon b/c they are doing a free music for the 25 days of Christmas and this one was one of the better ones.

Jumping the Curb

In no way am I as great of a story teller as Manda, but i'll try.
Last Thursday I was going to a friends house to then go to a movie and I was driving at night, there were NO street lights and it was in a town I wasn't to familiar with. He gave me directions over the phone and sometimes I can be like a guy and be stubborn about asking for directions. So I noticed I had gone to far and so I made a u-turn. While making said u-turn I was also trying to hold onto my phone. And as I'm turning I fell a BUMP and then hear metal on concrete scratching. I slam on the brakes hop out and discover that my car is straddling the curb. Now these are not your everyday curbs. I guess you could say its folklore but these curbs were 12" tall. Don't let the picture fool you. As I JUMPED out of my car I saw that the front tire had jumped back up onto the curb. I called the guy I was meeting and told him I had a girl moment and jumped the curb outside his street. He came and found me, we went back to his house grabbed his jack and headed back. He then returned my car to the right side of the curb, only resulting in sore arms for 2 days! I don't know how many times I said sorry, but what can you say? Everyday I try and prove that I'm not some silly girl, being in construction its a must when you still insist on wearing pink and heels sometimes. and this truly took away and man point i had made. Not only is my car hurt but so is my pride. The shop that I took my car to said that I had damaged/broken the radiator, oil pan, 2 tires, 2 wheels, R front strut, the R front lower control arm, and a rim. YIKES. Thankfully Daddy Warbucks was able to help! Looks like I'm getting tires and stuff for Christmas!
