Hayden's Senior pictures

These are just a few of Hayden's Senior pictures. Wow! I can't believe he is a senior and going to be graduating! Time sure does fly. Soon it will be Sierra's turn and I know I won't be ready for that! These pictures were taken by our ever - so - talented cousin Arla.

Pencil Design

Just playing around one day with some new pencils I bought. Sierra is the genious with the photo editing though. I love what she did with the photo. By the way....these are the best pencils around - Ticonderoga!

Antique?

I have this little antique piece that I have no idea what it is or how much it might be worth. If any of you looking at this has any idea or even how I could find out, I would love to know!! I would be willing to get rid of it if it was worth a lot!! :)

Service

Just thought I would post a little handout I created for our Achievement Day Girls Recognition Night a while back. We had been focusing on doing little acts of service for friends and neighbors and thought this would be a nice way to close the evening and to have a little 'bookmark' keepsake to remind them to do just some little nice thing for someone everyday. Whether its something anonymous or even if it is something as simple as a 'smile' to someone as you pass them by in the grocery store or in the hallways at school. It's always good to try to go the extra mile when ever we can--even if it is something simple. :)

Family photo at Wheeler Farm

We just spent a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner in SLC with my mom, my brother and his dear wife and little Sawyer and Ryans nanna. We had such an enjoyable time together. It could have only have been better if my sister and her family could have joined us and of course if 'dad' could of been there (in person). Since my family was all together (which seems kinda rare these days) I wanted to take a family picture. Ryan did a great job of taking pictures of us. We spent quite a while over at Wheeler Farm the morning of Thanksgiving while the turkey was in the oven. Here are a couple of family shots that were taken.

More Art Work

Here are a few more pieces of work I did for the Making Memories Idol contest. I have to apologize for the quality of photos. The pictures seem a bit blurry....can I blame that on the camera and computer?? :) Hope you can see them good enough. The first three pictures are of a cookie sheet magnetic calendar (idea was found in a Somerset Studio publication). The last three pictures were I believe for a "card making party". Calendar details

**I know, I know....I spelled 'your' wrong and put
in an apostrophe. Just ignore that OK. :)

Artwork and SU Convention

I just came home from 4 wonderful fun filled days of Stampin Up's annual convention. I have been with SU for about 16 years now and I believe this was my 14th convention. This is one of those events I absolutely hate to miss and look forward to every year! It is so fun to get together with ole' friends from all over and to meet new ones. I honestly hate to leave when it is time to go, I just wish the fun could last at least a week. I really wish we could get together a few times a year and just chat, share ideas and of course STAMP!!! So, hopefully, LORI, will be able to get a yahoo group set up soon (hint- hint ;) ) But of course, no pressure Lori! :) we love ya! Anyways, after chatting with these wonderful and amazing ladies, I promised to share some of my art work. This particular piece is something I entered in the Making Memories Idol contest a while back.

Just in case your wondering.....the quote says, "Creativity involves breaking out of established patterns in order to look at things in a different way." Let me know what you think? And thanks for looking. I will try and post some things in the next few days. :)

Later...
