Fun Stuff

A few fun things have occurred in my life lately, which I thought I would share via pictures...

Banff, Canada.  Photo from auski.com
Fun Stuff #1:  The Banff Film Festival
Honesty, I find the arrival of the Banff Film Festival World Tour to SLC more exciting than the Sundance Film Festival.  (Gasp.)  Not only has this film festival put Banff on my bucket list of places to visit, but it brings some of the coolest outdoorsy films to Utah.  The husband and I went one evening (on a date!) and watched a film about a nine-year old girl who is a champion rock climber, another film about paragliding off of Mount Everest, and another about conservation efforts on the coast of Oregon, plus more.  Very cool.

A more professional picture, I totally have a crush on the guitar player.
Fun Stuff #2:  Danny being invited to play at his friends' gig
Remember how I recently mentioned Danny's buddies band Jumbie.  Those cool kids invited Danny to be a guest guitarist at their last show.  Of course Danny rocked, because that is what he does.  They had one excitable, dancing crowd.  I was happy to sit back and enjoy the good tunes.  That makes me sound old. (Compared to all of the college kids there, I was.)


Fun Stuff #3:  Finally getting a Library card
I've been meaning to get a library card for like, umm, 2 years.  Better late than never.  Honestly, I've had a gift card to Barnes and Noble for quite awhile, so whenever I wanted a book, I'd go buy it.  Aw, the luxuries of life.  However, that gift card ran dry, which is ok because that gave me the extra push to take a jaunt down to our little library branch and get my own card.  I'm looking forward to the great books that are in my future.


Fun Stuff #4:  Take-out Indian Food
Indian Food I didn't have to make + The Husband + Netflix = One Happy Jannifer

Fun Stuff #5:  Girly Winter Party
My creative friend Elizabeth threw a little girls-only winter party with chatting, games, chatting, prizes, chatting, silver and white decorations, twinkle lights, chatting and yummy treats (as seen above).  It was a fun evening out and my introverted self even got to know some new people.

    Question: What are chatting prizes? Sounds fun! I love your pretty red fingernail polish! Random, I know. Wish we could have heard Danny jam with his buddies!

    Jannifer, Grampa and I went to Banff in 1971. It was awesome, and that was even without a film festival. I think you would like it there. I'm glad you finally got a library card. Even if they don't have what you want at the library, you can get almost anything through inter-library loan.

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...

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...
