And Now A Message From Our Favorite Little Twerp

This is Josie. She’s the newest addition to the C’s family and subsequently she is now Mini C #5 and cousin to our Sadie (who is still not quite sure what she thinks about that mini black and white noisy thing). “Little twerp!

We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty….

Tremonton & SEI Treasures

When Brent had his interview in Tremonton a couple of weeks ago, I went up with him. (We still are waiting to hear either a yes or a no about the job….) I decided that since we were up there and so close to Logan that we’d take a little side trip and drive over to Logan and make a little stop to a place I’ve been wanting to visit for a while…. YESSSSSSSSS! We stopped at SEI and visited…

… Lamb? Fat Polar Bear Lambs are white and fluffy… Snow is white and fluffy… But lambs are WARM! Mother Nature is either kidding with us or is suffering from Multiple Personality Disorder. This is nuts. But it gets worse. Check THIS out. We can expect two more days of it this week. YIKES! Sadie was not sure about this new layer of 4-5” of fluffiness.

Everybody Else Is Doing It…

Everybody Else Is Doing It…

So why shouldn’t I? Paint chipboard letters, that is…    I have been stuck in the “cover it with paper” mode for way too long.  I’ve had lots of fun over the past several weeks perusing other blogs and other forms of art, etc.  Talked to my aunt the other night for several hours about crafting and such and she suggested collage… I’m trying to get my mind on board for trying out collage…. like REAL collage… where you use all…

Thoughts for Thursday: Laughter

Thoughts for Thursday: Laughter

It’s late Wed night and I’ve had a wonky kind of day.  Not sure what the funk is… I had a hard time waking up this morning and hauling my carcass out of bed to go up to Orem for an extra few hours at work.  And then after running errands with Brent and coming home, I tried writing a post for tomorrow’s TFT and worked on editing some pictures and was chatting it up with Amaryllis on Google Talk……
