Merry Christmas!!

Wishing you and your family the MERRIEST of Christmases and a BLESSED New Year!  This is our Christmas card this year… I created it in Photoshop Elements and printed it on 1/3 sheets front and back on glossy cardstock.  This is the digi version showing both sides. And a little disco funk for your Christmas pleasure featuring the three of us crazies… sure wish I could really move like that! http://aka.zero.jibjab.com/client/zero/ClientZero_EmbedViewer.swf?external_make_id=giT6QJlMpoWkjee0&service=sendables.jibjab.com&partnerID=holidays Merry Christmas!!! Love, Erin, Brent & Sadie the pooch

Chinese Crystal Jewelry Set

Chinese Crystal Jewelry Set

I know it’s been a while since I promised to show you the necklace I made at my jewelry class earlier this month.  This month sure has gotten away from me as I am sure it has for most of us.  Today we got the last of our Christmas gifts wrapped and under the tree and tackled some household chores before Christmas arrives including Mt Grotegut, the ever growing mountain of laundry.  We’ve been somewhat “lax” on it this past…

Simple Christmas: Brownie Box Slipcover – Tutorial

Simple Christmas: Brownie Box Slipcover – Tutorial

Hello!  This morning I had an email from a friend asking me if I had seen a particular template she had been looking for “a slipcovered brownie mix” or something like that… I did a little searching and found nothing but I remembered that some mixes we bought from Lehi Roller Mills last year had “slipcovers” on them.  So this morning I set out to create my own template.  This is a simple tutorial. I shot from the hip and…

Crocheted Necklaces – Jewelry Class Results

I had a jewelry making class at my home on Friday night.  We had 3 girls get sick, but the 6 who made it and, aside from some wire gone wild, had a BLAST!  We did crocheted necklaces and laughed into the wee hours of the night. Here are the girls and their necklaces. Everyone did long necklaces this time. Totally fun!  (There are only 5 who finished because Sierra’s wire was literally hopelessly tangled and she has to start…

Shabby Christmas Gifts

Shabby Christmas Gifts

On Wednesday I had brunch with a friend of mine who flew in to town to meet her first grandbaby and see her son and daughter in law.  Thankfully we were able to find some time to meet up for brunch at Mimi’s Cafe. I hadn’t seen Aura Lee in nearly 20 years.  I can’t remember how long it’s actually been.  She was one of my Young Women leaders  (female youth group @ church) when we lived in Berlin, Germany.  …
