{ see you next year }

This is when the blogging usually ends for the year. I could be wrong. Who knows, maybe I will find the time to post a bit while I am gone. Thanks for reading. And:

Another Blurb Book is coming!

Such a Rebel

Right before my brother's wedding my parents surprised me with an early Christmas present. I was SHOCKED> I didn't know what to say. My mom was in tears. She was so happy for me. She is my biggest fan. I LOVE YOU! Thank you mom and dad!

I LOVE this camera. It even takes full 1080 HD video. Right now I am borrowing a prime {f/1.4} 50 mm lens from Bryan's Aunt.

{Most of the recent posts have pictures using this camera.}

date night!

Dear Friends:

After a long hard week of finals, it's finally over! Nothing like a girls night out to celebrate! So glad I have friends that make me laugh so hard I cry.

Nativities Around the World

www.moscownativity.org.

This year for nativites around the world, Bryan and I volunteered to help set up. It was a great opportunity for us to do service together. This year they have live music. People from all over our community have come to play and sing. It's wonderful to see different denominations come together. If you are in the area you must go. I will be playing the piano again on Friday night. Enjoy the pictures.

The First Snow

I really don't enjoy the cold very much. However, seeing the beautiful white snow this morning made me so happy! I ran outside with my rubber polka dot boots on and my camera to take some pictures! Enjoy!

Up late

Change! Today I wanted to change up my work area. I got around to doing it some time late tonight. I've been watching a magazine called, "Where Women Create." It a magazine that feature different women and their creative work spaces. If you are at JoAnn's you have to stop and check it out. It defiantly in pries me!

Book Page Wreath

About 2 weeks ago Cierra and I got together to make these book page wreaths. The instructions can be found in the most recent issue of the on-line Latter Day Woman Magazine. I finally got better from all my illnesses and finished my wreath this past weekend. All together it was a very cheap project and fun to do.

{PS- I didn't make mine as full as theirs but I think it still looks okay. }

Halloween Night

Since Halloween lands on Sunday this year, we do trick or treating on Saturday. Our ward was having a party tonight but I am still too sick to go. I have been feeling so bad for my girls. I LOVE Halloween and I'm usually up for all the festivities. This year was different. Luckily my fabulous husband came up with a last minute Halloween Scavenger hunt at Walmart. We were to find:

1. Mutant Neon Fish

2. My Little Pet Zombie Shop

3. Arcane Coloring Book

4. Spiky Crayons

5. Tricky Treats

6. Poisonous Pez

7. 8 Legged Rings

8. Ferocious Fangs

9. Mummy Tissues

10. Witchy Hat

Once we were home with all our finds, we put our newest members of the family in their home. We got 3 goldfish. These fish are the first pets we have ever had. Lauryn has been talking about getting a pet for a while. I think fish will do for now. Here's the photos of bringing Frankie, Frankie, and Spooks home.
