Things That Have Made Me Happy Recently (part 2)

By
This past week has definitely had it's ups and downs and a few tears have been shed on my behalf. However, I don't want to ignore some instances that really put a smile on face over the past week or two.

First, I received the following text from my sister-in-law with the attached picture.  "We just read your blog.  R saw all your foot pics and asked if they were his feet.  So we thought we'd send you a pic of R's feet."

How adorable is that?  That little text and picture just made
my day.  And I also loved that JanaRae put the pic on
facebook as well, because my "smart" phone was being
dumb and not allowing me to get the picture off my phone.
Thanks JanaRae and Super R!

My dear, wonderful friend Eliza has been in town.  We were able to get together one evening to enjoy the Christmas tunes from the band her dad plays in, eat multiple sugary treats, play with her cute daughter and discuss all topics that crossed our minds until late hours of the evening.  Every time I get together with Eliza, I feel like I talk a million words per minute because, you know, so much to say and catch up on, so little time.  I'm so grateful for her friendship and example!

Danny and I had a date night the other week where we actually went out!  That's always a highlight for me.  We went and saw the new movie "Life of Pi".  We almost never see movies in the actual nice theater.  This one was worth it though, it is visually beautiful.  I read the book a few years ago and I felt it stuck really close to the story, which made me happy as well.

    I want to see Life of Pi, but sadly it isn't playing here. Maybe we can catch it somewhere else.

      I really enjoyed it, it was well done. Hopefully you can see it somewhere else.

    I really didn't think that there could be a good movie adaption of this book but I was wrong. They did an amazing job. We really enjoyed it too.

      Erin, I was skeptical as well. I was pleased by how close they kept the movie to the book.

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

By
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...
