A craft project I finished last weekend

Home & resting

Jason's surgery went great. It got delayed several hours due to an emergency at the hospital but other than that everything went smooth. DR said he did great and in about 2-3 weeks he should be able to walk on it without crutches. Thank you all for your support and prayers.

Thanks a ton

It's been a stressful 2 weeks. Jason's knee surgery is scheduled for tomorrow. Please keep him in your thoughts & prayers. Thank you

Some favorites from last week

Christmas Countdown

I saw this here and fell in love with it. I got my stuff together, sat down, & put my heart and soul into these blocks. I made this set for my bestie Elidah, her birthday is in a couple weeks and I know she'll love them. I'm having a lil craft party tomorrow, so I'll be working on my own Christmas Countdown, I'm sooo excited ♥

Carving pumpkins 2009

1 rain puddle at a time

It was raining again today and as I was going into my house after work I stopped for about 2 minutes and thought about rain. I thought about how much I love the smell right before it rains and even the smell after it rains. I thought about how much I love the sound of the rain. I thought about how when I was a kid I loved rain puddles. I thought about when I was a kid how much I loved twirling around in the rain. So I walked over to the mailboxes and I started twirling around with my umbrella and then I jumped in a rain puddle that was in the parking lot. I was laughing, jumping, talking to myself, having a blast. Right then I realized, I don't have to be a kid to enjoy twirling around and jumping in rain puddles. Life may be a lot harder now then it was when I was a kid, but it's also a lot more rewarding now as an adult. If it's raining tomorrow I'm gonna go find me some big rain puddles.

Dear Neighbors, that lady twirling around and jumping in the rain puddles with the huge pink/green/blue stripped umbrella, laughing and talking to herself, yea she's really ok. Sorry about all the commotion. Your more then welcome to join next time. Have a great day.

Cute and simple

A cute and simple craft project

I cut out different parts of the owl on different scrapbook paper and mod

podged the entire thing. Once dry I use a hot glue gun for the eyes.

Halloween cake pops

My sister Josie and I made Halloween cake pops. The ones below are mine.

Love them

Josie made some really cute ones including some pumpkins, ghosts, one's with sprinkles, & zombies. They all turned out awesome.

21 days till Halloween
We got our pumpkins, so we'll be carving in the next week =]

Birthday dinner with the family

Sunday night the family got together to celebrate my dads birthday.

My Wmom cooked dinner and made an awesome German chocolate cake, which was to die for!

Jason was not feeling well so he did not make it but my Wmom sent him home with some cake cuz she's bomb like that ♥

I finished the blue drawers

 

Low key

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR DAD, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

***

This weekend I hope to finish my blue drawers, we have a birthday dinner on Sunday for my dad, and Elidah & Christopher plan on coming by for a lil bit on Sunday. Other than that not much going on here. Happy Friday ♥

Down again

Jason dis-located his knee again this last Monday at stick night (hockey). His knee cap was on the side of his knee and wedged sideways, this time was the worse. They gave him some drugs that work really fast (can't remember the name) and tried to get it back in place but the medicine wore off before the DR was able to and it was hurting Jason A LOT. So, they called the orthopedic in and sedated Jason. Once he was out the 2 DR's popped that baby back in. He's doing ok. He's gonna have to have surgery and really build his knee back up but he's gonna be fine. I think he's mose upset about not playing hockey anymore...

My babe & I

Jason & I, April 2008

You'll be glad you did

I made these a couple weekends ago and OMG they are yummy.

You must make them.....

Lime Squares with a Pecan-Graham Cracker Crust

Lick The Bowl Good <---- click="" for="" link="" recipe="" span="">

It's a lot cooler then I thought it would be

4 months ago I showed you this picture.....

I finished the pink one yesterday.


I LOVE IT ♥

I got the case at IKEA. They come totally unassembled (super cheap). This project was time consuming but TOTALLY worth it. I hope to work on & finish the blue one next weekend...

edit: Elissa asked if I painted these and I have to tell, I did not! Each drawer is scrapbook paper I mod podged-is that even a word?- on. Once the paper was dried on the wood I added coat after coat (once coat was dry) of mod podge. I think there is a total of 4 or 5 coats.

It seems that the hardest part about this project is finding a good spot for it =] I've moved it from room to room, I think it's going to be used in the craft room.

Sunday in pictures...
