St. George

So far I've only posted the craft making pictures from our visit to St. George last weekend.  We did a lot of other fun things as well, which I put in a nice bullet point list below.
  • We went to the New Year's celebration in downtown St. George to ring in the New Year.  Highs from the evening: the fireworks and Magician Max.  Lows from the evening:  freezing and the Rock band projector breaking right before Jared, Dan and Noelle got up on stage to show the crowd their skills.
  • Ate lots of junk food and played games.  The preferred game for the weekend was the card game, Bohnanza.
  • Indulged in the delicious frozen treat of Nielson's frozen custard.  
  • Ate breakfast at the Bear Paw Cafe.  I highly recommend the crepes; just know they are huge.  I some how missed this important tidbit and ordered two.  I could barely eat one. Luckily I have a husband and brother-in-laws that helped eat the other crepe.
  • We went hiking and enjoyed nature at Snow Canyon.
  • Shopping at the outlet stores, where I got some new jeans.
  • Church on Sunday and a delicious roast beef dinner!

Nothing like fireworks to welcome a new year!

Foot shot, it's what I do.
Our long jump competition at the sand dunes... I did not win.

    Ha, ha! I love the foot shoot--and the feet shots adorning the sidebar of your blog.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

The End of the Road

There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

Hello Sunshine

  I've had the book The Artist's Way by Julia Cameron on my bookshelf for a couple of years now. It is a program that is supposed to connect you to your inner creativity. It may sound a little out there, but sometimes I try out there stuff. So after reading the first chapter, I thought, why not? Creative endeavors always feed my soul and as of late, my soul needs some feeding. Part of the program is to take yourself on a weekly artist date. Dating myself to connect to my inner creativity? Younger versions of myself may have laughed at this, but the mom version of myself is excited about the idea of time alone .  In pure defiance of the snow I have seen almost daily for months, for my first artist date, I decided to get a pedicure. I mostly was there for the foot massage, but I figured if I make my toes sandal ready, then surely the weather will take the hint and spring will start making its appearance. (I know, I know, we need the snow, we are in a drought. All the lakes a d...
