SD - Last Day

 The last day in SD we started with time at Grandma Nani's then Shannon, Erica and I drove up to Grandma and Grandpa Kneeland's house! We were invited for lunch, and excited to visit.

Grandma made us Lasagne, and blue berry pie - and then we had cookies and coffee, and Bruce & Diane stopped over!
 Bruce pointed out to me that my coffee cup had the Kneeland Coat of arms on it, so I took a picture of it, who knew! Grandma Myla is working on a family tree book for me - I'm super excited.

 Mostly, we just visited - and looked through Grandma and Grandpa's wedding album - I'll share those pics this week!
 My Grandpa Harvey turned 86 this year, pretty handsome dude, don't ya think?
 He gets around in his wheel chair pretty well - and Grandma helps him out a whole lot.

 My Uncle Bruce (and his killer smile) and Aunt Diane.
 Grandma's best friend - her Sewing Machine :) I managed to talk her into repairing a quilt for me (and Aquaman) it's in the mail on it's way to her as we speak.
 I love that little ole' Grandma of mine.
 I couldn't decide which of these I like best, Grandpa was making some smart alec remark (imagine that) and these shots all turned out really cute.

 After Grandma & Grandpa's we headed back to Kathy's where I went out with Amanda to shoot her Maternity photos and everyone else was writing Thank you Notes.

 This one had to leave to go see her Dad - I miss her already.
 We painted the boys' fingernails...
 Cooper thought it was really funny!

 Elio decided he needed to help by painting his Mom's nails...
 And then these boys left... I miss them too!

It was a great trip to SD ... I wish I were there under better circumstances, but it was good to see the family!

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!
