Decor, My Model Sister and New Music

Image
By
I thought I would share a few things from the past week or so.  First off, I made this little craft for Valentine's Day.  I'm lacking in decorations for the holiday of love and this was so easy to make.  Especially since I already had the frame.  I followed the same method I used to create the "Home" framed art I made recently.


Next item of business, did you know my sister Noelle is in The Ensign this month.  (The Ensign is a LDS Magazine, fyi)  Doesn't she look pretty and contemplative?  Of course she does!  If you would like, I think I might be able to schedule an autograph session, I'll have to speak to Noelle's agent.


So, you all know I married a musician.  Musicians are friends with other musicians.  This means we get invited to go to Danny's friends gigs from time to time.  We were recently invited to a concert of the local band Jumbie.  Danny is friends with 2 of the 3 guys in the band.  Danny and I went and partook of their tunes and I was impressed.  I'm not going to lie, I'm not impressed by bands easily.  I'm a little bit of a music snob.  However, they had some great foot tapping, energetic music.  Their band would fit into the piano rock category, think Ben Folds 5 or Jack's Mannequin.  I think you should check them out.  Here's a link to their facebook page, where you can listen to all of their music for free.  They have a lot of concerts coming up in the Utah/Idaho area, if you love live music like I do.

    That's a great picture of Noelle. We'll have to make arrangements to photo shoot with her next time we're in town!

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

By
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 the circles to the foam tree in

2013 - The Year of Grace

By
I know we are well into 2014, but I'm still in the midst of recounting last year and making goals for this year. As I've looked back on and thought about 2013, I have to admit it has been a rocky year. However, during some of these hard times, I feel like Danny and I have drawn even closer in our marriage. I sure love that man of mine. I really think what makes a strong marriage is facing the tough stuff together. I have also grown closer to my Savior, though at times it didn't always feel like it, which I will discuss more below. I can honestly say, this year has whittled me down to a rather more fragile version of myself.  I think that is what being humbled is.  I have been humbled.  I’m still working on being humble. I think with this past year, I’m understanding more what grace is.  I think you have to experience a lowly place to even feel the need for grace.  I agree with the common phrase: “Do your best.” However, I don’t think we always understand what ou

This Weekend

By
This weekend was a whirlwind experience.  I realize I could split this up into like 4 or 5 different posts, but I'm just going to do one big, long post.  So get a snack, get comfortable and prepare yourselves. Friday Night:  Danny's Concert with his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips Danny performed up at the Layton amphitheater and rocked the house!  I really mean that, he did such  a fantastic job.  He opened for his friends, The Atomic Thunderlips, who also put on an awesome show. I had great fun clapping along to the music with my nephews who came and being a bit of a proud wife in the audience.  We all went out for a late night dinner at Iggy's afterwards, which showed me that I'm not in college anymore, because I got heartburn afterwards.   (Growing old, sigh.) Members of the family that came to support! Me and my nephew Dr. C before the concert. The boys clapping along. He can play with his eyes closed, he's that good. Danny the guitar man
