Cousin Jackie!

Friday was a highly anticipated day for us; Jackie was coming for a visit! She was coming through town after an Alaskan Cruise with her in-laws.
We were looking forward to the visit!
After work, we went over to the Mariott and met up with Jackie and her Cruising crew, Christie, Sherrie and Les. We visited around a table in the atrium for awhile and then loaded up and headed to Azteca for a delicious Mexican meal, and then back to the hotel to visit some more. The time got away from us, and pretty soon it was 11:30pm! We needed to get home to feed Aquaman, and let Jackie and family rest for their flight the next day, Jackie walked us to the door, and we ended up standing by the doors to the parking lot for another couple hours chatting! We finally called it a night around 1:30am.
It was so much fun to see Jackie and to meet her extended family!
We Love you Jackie!!!

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
