Remembering Grant

If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you've already heard this story and the plea for help for this family.

I wish I would have gotten the pleasure to know this kid, from everything I hear, he was a great person.

Grant Ronnebeck was suddenly taken from this world last week while he was at work - a QT convenience station. Held a gunpoint and then, shot. If you want to read more about the way it went down, click here.

Grant is Eric's Nephew. Living apart all of their lives, Eric and Grant never got to meet, but Eric did get to meet his Brother Steve (Grant's Dad) just this past year. Our hearts go out to Steve, and his family during this difficult time. Saying goodbye to someone is never easy, but to do it when they're 21 years old, makes it much harder. Please say a prayer for Grant, Steve and Tyler and the rest of their family.

If you have a few extra dollars, please consider donating to the funeral fund.

They will lay him to rest on Wednesday in Mesa.

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!

R is for Ronnebeck!
