My projects

When it gets cold outside I get really bored. I love doing projects, but haven't had any cute ideas for a while (I have, I just haven't had the money to do them). Since going through the temple, I have been wanting a big picture of the Salt Lake Temple to hang over my stairs. And for Christmas Ryan's parents gave us money to go pick out a picture. I finally went and found the perfect one. And I found a really cute vinyl saying to hang above it. It looks so cute. I was thinking that it needed something to go on the sides, so off to Wal-mart I went to find dried flowers to make some arrangements (which I have never done before). But they turned out really cute. After we got the picture hung, we hung the flowers and they looked like they belonged in a funeral home. I was so disappointed. I was so proud of my self for throwing them together with out any direction, and they didn't look good with the picture. I took them down and put them in my bedroom where they look awesome. Then just when I was getting bored again, my sisters-in-law all decided that we should wear a black dress with red jewelry to our brother-in-laws wedding (the colors were black, red, white). So, shopping I went. I went to Kohls, JCP, Target, Wal-mart, and online to a few other places and couldn't find any red jewelry. Honestly, no red jewelry anywhere. I just decided I would have to make it (something else I have never done). So, I went to JoAnns and bought a bunch of beads and made it my self. I don't love it, but it served it's purpose. The wedding was last Friday and it turned out gorgeous. I still have a few more ideas to keep me busy over the next few weeks before it warms up, I just need to head to the store to get started.

It says "Miracles happen to those who believe" And this picture doesn't do it justice. It is pretty big.

Happy Birthday Mylee!!!

My cute little niece just turned one on Feb 18. I can't believe it is her birthday already. She has brought so much joy into my life. Since I don't have, nor will I ever have, a little girl she has been so much fun to spoil and love. Here is a video I got of her eating her first birthday cup cake.

Happy Birthday Baby Girl!!!!

How Time Flys

Holy Cow!!!! I can't believe it is March already. Spring is just around the corner, and I can't wait.
