My Sister

My Sister Shannon is a very talented lady.

She is a single Mom of a 12 year old girl (going on 18).

That should tell you enough … right there.

But let me continue to list her talents…

~She can read an entire book in a day if it interests her

~She can cross stitch

~She can learn a project in a single day and finish it – remember when I taught you to knit? I was half way done with my first scarf, and by the end of the night she had completed hers.

~She can drink more Diet Dr. Pepper than anyone I know

~She can play rough with the boys and dollies with the girls.

~She is really quiet – unless you get her in Wal-mart “after hours”

~She can carve a mean pumpkin and construct the most creative Valentine’s day Boxes.

~She put herself through Nursing school and went to work at Madison Lutheran Hospital in Minnesota.

Just this week… My sister has…

~Packed for her conference in Chicago (I hope she’s packed by now)

~Hand sewed a costume for said 12 year old daughter for her Halloween dance this weekend (see picture).

~DELIVERED A BABY!!!

See, I told you she was talented!

Love you Sissy!

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!
