What I've been up to...

I'm really trying to be completely organized before this semester begins, so I found these amazing baskets at Kmart for $2.50 each! Normally they start at around $7.00 each, so not only did I get a great deal, but my life is a little more organized because of it, and my shelves look way better. I wish that I'd taken a before picture, because girl, it was bad!

My new $2.50 basket that I L.O.V.E.!

I've been making more hair accessories with some of my free time, and I love it. There is something very therapeutic about crafting in general, and I have a few more projects in mind, so hopefully I will be able to get them done before school starts on Monday!

She's Crafty...

I love to blog surf. It's one of my favorite things to do. I love to see what other people come up with, and frankly, I L.O.V.E. to borrow (OK, steal) their ideas. I taught YW yesterday, and came across this little beauty. The original was mounted on wood, but I think that my version of it is really cute. I love that it is actually on burlap. Who knew that you could print on burlap? It's put me in a crafting mood, and once I start, it's kinda hard to stop!

A St. George Christmas

Christmas in St. George... ah the memories, the fun times, the hanging out, the SICKNESS! I was invited to spend Christmas with the Jones Family in St. George this year. Thirteen adults, fifteen kids, and enough sickness to go around for everyone. It seems like anytime we are all together, one or more of us gets sick. This year, that was in full effect. Strep throat, ear infections, fevers, nausea, bronchitis, you name it, it seems like someone got it. Even with the sickness, it was amazing. This year we talked about a Christ centered Christmas, and the meaning behind each piece in the nativity. I am grateful for the opportunity to go to St. George, and to have a Christmas that was so focused on Christ. One of my favorite things about Christmas is the reading from Luke. I am grateful for these things, and the joy that they bring.

Cute little Quincee!



Courtney was so excited about her new phone!
