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 th...

Birthday Week!

By
This week is my birthday week, or should I say birth week.  However that sounds too much like birthing is occurring and that is not the case.  (Don't get any ideas, Danny and I have only been married for 5.5 months.)  Anyway, I firmly believe in celebrating birthdays for the whole week, because why not? Talena and I have a tradition each year that is the kick off for my birthday celebration.  You see, Talena and I were born 12 days apart.  On the midpoint day between our birthdays we go out to dinner to celebrate.  We always try to go some where we have never been before.  This year we went to the Citrus Grill, which was very delicious.  (Special thanks to Eliza for recommending the place.)  We had fun dining, laughing and sharing secrets, because that is what girls do. My dinner...doesn't it just make your mouth water. Talena Balena and Me. PS  We did have a funny little mishap with the dessert.  We got strawbe...

Half Birthdays are for Celebrating, part 2

By
I know what you are thinking, "Jannifer, do you really need to have two posts about your half birthday?"  The answer is yes, because it just made sense to split the post in half considering the topic.  So during the day at work on the day of celebrations, I found I had to watch hours of HR videos which needed very little attention to understand.   (That's a nice way to say they were really boring.)  So with my other half of wandering attention I decided to start searching YouTube for some new tunes.  Especially since I remember I still had a partial Amazon gift card that I could buy some music with.  I turned to some of my wise music friends who were online for their suggests.  They led me to some sweet songs which are now part of my collection.  A little half birthday gift to me and since I like to be giving, I shall share some of their suggestions with you. Suggestion from Talena... Suggestions from Eliza... Suggestions from J...
