Projects

Here is my tree. It is still a work in progress-- will hold out for after Christmas sales to get it just right. I love the classical Christmas look, so I kept with that. We have special Hallmark ornaments and ones from Germany so I wanted to use all of it and tie it together.
This is our tree topper from Germany-- I love it and would love to collect some more wooden ornaments like this.
I made some fun rag garland this year. I used scraps of fabric I had around the house (I have tons since I sew a lot). I got the idea from my amazingly talented friend Erica.
I finally finished my family history pictue wall. I got all the frames from thrift stores, target clearance, and estate sales and painted them in dark orange, aqua and black, then I took various family photos from mine and Jason's families-- I love how it all came together and it is so fun to look at and tell the kids all about their grandparents and great-grandparents.
Fabric flowers. So these pics are a little blurry, but the best my camera would do. I have had fun lately experimenting with fabric flowers they are so fun and there are so many fun ways to wear them. I think I will have to try out some more very soon.

Dancing, vacationing, and Christmas Tree cutting



Last weekend when we got home from our vacation we headed up into the mountains to pick out the perfect Christmas tree. It is always so much fun!! I'll post pictures of it all decorated soon. It took me awhile to finally get it decorated because it kept tipping over and after the 2nd time I decided I needed some new decorations anyway and had fun redoing my tree a little bit.


Family Vacation!! We went to St. George and Vegas with Jason's family it was a lot of fun. I was not very good about taking pictures, my sister in-laws have much cuter pics on their blogs from the trip. I guess I can blame it on having to juggle three kids-- right?!

Kate is in ballet this year and loving it!! I love watching her. I've decided that I would love if she stayed in ballet forever!!! She was a super cute gumdrop in Hansel and Grethel and did such a great job. Plus she was so cute to watch!!!
