Christmas Craft Party

well the ladies at our church put on a holiday craft party every year. the rules are on the invitation that everyone has to bring some sort of food to share and a craft. it can either be homemade or store bought, but you can not spend more that $10.00. 
This year I saw an idea on pinterest. Luckily i had everything i needed except for the vinyl, which luckily my friend becca had.
So my gift was basically free!
Woo Hoo for me!
Anyways, here it is. I think it turned out pretty cute. You can hang it somewhere. 
 I did not have anything to wrap it in, besides Dora wrapping paper. So i tried to get creative. That did not go over so well. I stuck it in this plastic bag with tissue paper and then made a flower to go on it. not my best work, but it worked none the less. 
This year I received a cute Christmas tree made of these white feathers. it is really pretty and I have to keep it up high from all the admiring little hands in our house. ;0)
i enjoy these party's each year. it is a fun time to get to just hang out with some really fun ladies. their are no children and no husbands. just the girls. we play games to see who will get what gift and so it makes for a fun night. This year was the best because i went with some good friends of mine. We had lots of laughter!!

I love the saying "the best thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother". My husband does an amazing job of that. I am truly married to my best friend. We laugh often and try to see the best in every situation, or at least find the humor in it. We have four beautiful children. Cullan (7) Kael (6) Briea (3) and Ayla (2). We are currently living in Illinois while Garran attends Grad School. He is a talented print maker and is enjoying his time here. He has a website if you are interested. www.garrangillespie.com Right now we are living every day to the fullest and trying to have as much fun as possible along the way!!

This explains why I blog so much RIGHT?

“Your journal is your autobiography, so it should be kept carefully. You are unique, and there may be incidents in your experience that are more noble and praiseworthy in their way than those recorded in any other life. …
“What could you do better for your children and your children’s children than to record the story of your life, your triumphs over adversity, your recovery after a fall, your progress when all seemed black, your rejoicing when you had finally achieved?”
Elder Spencer W Kimball!

I need to read this every morning!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers."

-President Gordon B. Hinckley
