Tulip Festival

By
This past weekend my mom and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point.  I believe they have around 55 acres of gardens.  There was plenty of gardens to explore and enjoy.  We had so much fun walking, chatting and taking pictures.  Being outside among all the many varieties of flowers felt so refreshing, even if it was a little chilly.  Plus, my mom is such wonderful company!

There were so many cool species of flower, some I've
never seen before like this one.

I loved the coloring of the flowers in this area.

Beautiful Blossoms


My mom and me!!!




This fountain reminded us of England, and that made
me and my mom very happy, since we both have lived
there at some point in our lives.

Ha, I know, I look a lot like my mom, which is a compliment to me.

This was in the secret garden section, which I loved!!

It was Dutch Days as well.  My mom and I looked at all the delicious Dutch
food...and then we bought Navajo tacos for lunch.

My mom is so cute, she requested that we take a foot shot, since that
is my "thing".  So here it is!

The man-made waterfalls.  Walking around these got me craving to go 
hiking to real waterfalls!




Waterfall!

My cute mom on the bridge.



I thought these daffodils were so cool!

Since it was the Tulip Festival, I needed to
include pictures of tulips.

    That looks like an awesome garden. The flowers are beautiful, and so are the waterfalls, even if they are manmade. I'm glad that you could go there with your mom. And I love the foot shot; so cute!

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

The Christmas Box

By
Remember how forever ago I said I would post a tutorial on how to fold these cute boxes.  Sigh, life is busy.  But I am here to fulfill my promise, even if it is a bit belated.  We had a Super Saturday at church with classes we could take.  My awesome friend, Becky, taught us how to create these, so I give her all the credit. What you need, paper, scissors, ruler pencil and some type of adhesive. 1.On the blank side of your paper draw an X from each corner, using a ruler. 2. Fold the bottom corner to the  center. 3. Fold the bottom corner one more  time up to the center. 4. Now you are  going to do the exact  two folds from steps 2 and 3 to the  opposing top corner, so your  paper will look like this. 5.  Unfold your paper and make the same folds to left and right corners that haven't been folded yet.  So once again, fold the point to the middle. 6.  Do a second fold to th...
