Ok so that was a little dramatic, but it's so nice to be on a break! My spring break started a couple of days early due to the two feet of snow we got and they closed our school down. It's snowing again today, we need the moisture so it's great! I am doing all sorts of fun things like cleaning and organizing my craft room, sleeping in, watching movies with Jason (if you haven't seen Bolt yet, I highly recommend it-it's so cute!) I am going to get together with friends and have lunch, probably do some more sleeping in just because it's THAT wonderful and of course do some of the crafty projects I have put off since the semester has started. I will post pictures of the bracelet I am hoping to make once it is finished.
Jason & I went to have lunch with my dad's uncle yesterday. He is 91 and lives in Denver, I haven't seen him since I was about 10 but since we live so close, it's silly to not see him. We took him out to lunch and went back to his apartment and he shared all kinds of stories about my grandparents with me. It's nice to hear memories of your grandparents from their siblings point of view, the stories made me laugh and some brought tears to my eyes. He's a very sweet man with a heart of gold.
It really makes you think about the things that are truly important in this life and what is worth fighting over.
I hope everyone has been well-happy spring!
This is a shot of our neighborhood and a bush in the front of our house that blocks our view out the front window.
This is a view outside in our back yard, poor Charlie (our black lab) had snow up to his belly. Usually he loves being outside, but he has been an inside dog these past 2 days that it snowed non-stop.
I have been feeling crafty these past few days. A couple of friends at work are having babies, I made these cards for them, the feet are made out of little strips of paper, it's called paper quilling. I really enjoy doing it!
Here's another card, but for a baby that they don't know the gender of yet.
...and here's a picture of me in this hat, I just love it. I'm in my craft room in the basement and was feeling like you should know what this hat means to me.
This cracks me up. This is Charlie's puppy fence that we keep in the basement so he stays out of the litter box. Our cat, Belle got into one of the folds of the fence & looks like she's in kitty jail. =)
