Girls Night - Part 2 - Ice Castles

Image
By
*Before I share the second half of our girls night, I have to give a little shout out to my dear friend Melina and her husband Dave, who had their baby this morning.  They had a little girl with reddish hair.  The world is a better place with another redhead here on earth.  (I'm slightly biased.)  But seriously, I'm so excited for them, this is their first!

Brittany and my next destination during our girls night extravaganza was to the ice castles in Midway.  It was a nice way to enjoy the chilly weather.  Plus, when entering the ice castles, they have complimentary ski poles you can use so you don't slip and fall (and to have pretend sword fights with if necessary...kidding).  I really liked that perk.  The ice castles were beautiful.  Brittany and I weaved in and out of them and took multiple pictures until our fingers and toes were numb.

Afterwards we warmed up with a nice Italian meal and then returned to Brittany's place where we finished off our caramel apple (mentioned in the post before) and in one single conversation solved half of the world's problems.  (You think I'm kidding, I'm not.)  It was a fabulous evening if I do say so myself.  Now, picture time! 

An ice castle, you will see many more in these pictures.




Brittany got hungry






















Ooooo!





















A little scary to have these over our heads


Foot shot  :)






You could go in the ice castles, very exciting

    Those ice castles are awesome! Reminds me of the White Witch's castle in The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

    Those ice castles are beautiful, but I'm cold just looking at them. Where are they?

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

Things that brought me joy this week

By
This past week was Melina's birthday!  Since she lives far away, Talena and I put together a hula party in a box and mailed it to her.  We found all of these treasures at the dollar section at the front of Target.  My favorite moment was when we heard a lady gripe about how the discount section was full of a bunch of useless stuff that no one would buy.  At that very moment we turned the corner, with our hand basket full of awesome stuff we had found.  We just smiled. The party supplies The party agenda I was having a bit of a low evening and Danny suggested we go get my latest craving Sonic blasts.   (Ice cream + candy + whipped cream.)  I know you aren't supposed to feed sorrows with food, but this particular evening I made an exception.  Whoever made that Sonic blast was heaven sent.  It had more Reese's peanut butter cups than actual ice cream.  It's like they sensed my heavy heart and tried to heal it with choc...
