November on Instagram

Nov. 2 - Attending to my civic duties, early might I add.
Nov. 2- Date night with Danny and a reward for attending to my
civic duties.  I was really brave and tried the pumpkin smoothie.
It tasted like pumpkin pie, how heavenly.
Nov. 5 - The correct way to celebrate Bon Fire Night aka Guy
Fawkes Day.  PS My sister and I held a Cadbury chocolate tasting
test that evening.  Fruit & Nut came out the winner for me.
Nov. 5 - Oh remember, remember the 5th of November.  Fire burn
and cauldron bubble.  Errr, that's not how that poem ends, but
it is also British, so it works, right?
Nov. 7 - Sister Lunch!  Noelle had an appointment in SLC, so she came
and hung out with me afterwards.  Also a little shout out to Kneaders,
since our lunch was delicious.
Nov. 7 - I work with photographers; therefore, I get to go to very
picturesque places.
Nov. 8 - U of U Sculpture Club Open House.  I liked the sculpture of the
little blobs conspiring together or singing in a choir, one of the two.
Nov. 8 - The reason I attended the sculpture club open house was because
Danny was there rocking off  the faces of those in attendance along with
his talented friends Alex and Jack.  You can listen to a small piece of
the musical performance here and here .  It does not disappoint.
Nov. 10 - The Ice Age is a Upon Us.  We got pounded with snow one
weekend and I found the dinosaurs that sit in our study window with
the winter scene behind them rather ironic.
Nov. 17 - My sister-in-law Katie put on a Lindt chocolate tasting party,
which was oh so scrumptious.  I loved the white coconut chocolate!
Nov. 17 - Another view of the chocolate tasting table.
Cue the mouth watering.  Check out my Katie's dessert blog!

She has the most delicious, sweet recipes on it.
Nov. 19 - After a few particularly stressful days, Danny brought home
this festive bouquet to help me feel better.  That Danny is a keeper.
Nov. 22 - My contribution to Thanksgiving dinner.
Nov. 29 - Festival of Trees!
Nov. 29 - A perfect evening for volunteering.

  1. Looks like you've had a great month. (Well mostly). Love your dinosaurs in the ice age, and your photography picture. Is that wheat?

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

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...
