A Valentine's Recap

Image
By
I love holidays, even obscure ones.  (Actually those are my favorite to celebrate.)  With Valentine's Day on a Monday, I decided that wouldn't do.  I wanted a whole day of fun, so I requested we celebrated on Saturday...and Friday night. Celebrate big or go home, that's my motto. Here's what we did:

Friday


Danny got me roses, which adorn our kitchen table.
I made German pancakes for dinner.  For some reason many of
our holiday celebrations include German pancakes.
We then spent the rest of the evening chilling and watching movies.  We watched the movie "Paper Heart" which was pretty funny.

Saturday


On Saturday, I got to choose the activity.  I requested we go to Color Me Mine, I love that place.  I like to pretend I'm artistic.
Danny painted a gnome...and gave him red hair...and green eyes...and named him
Jonnifer...and told me that it was our gnome child.  My husband makes me laugh.

Wow, that's an intense look on my face.  I painted a little dish/holder/trinket/thing.
We then went to the movie theater and Danny got to choose a movie for us to see.  We saw "True Grit".  Nothing like a cowboy movie about revenge to say "I love you", haha.  It was a good story and the little girl in it was really impressive.  However, a bit too violent for me and it had snakes in it, I hate snakes (cringe).  Afterwards, we headed to Bath and Body Works, because Danny also gave me a gift card for Valentine's Day.

We ended the night having dinner at Tucci's Italian restaurant.  It was such a fun day and a great way to celebrate our first Valentine's as married folk (the cowboy lingo from the movie rubbed off on me).  On the actual day of Valentine's we still went out for frozen yogurt and I gave Danny a card and his favorite candy.

    That sounds like a fan-freakin-tastic day and I might have to steal your itinerary for myself.

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...
