For one of the activities at the Teton House, the place I'm doing my internship, we made these little refrigerator magnets. The ladies that came picked out the paper they wanted and we put them together for them to take back to their rooms. I had a lot of fun doing it because I got my cousins Rachael and Leanna to come help. Everything is more fun when you have friends! I liked the magnets so much that I had to make some for my own fridge.
I found all of these wood scraps behind our house, so I went around and picked them all up (got the idea from my friend Brittany when she stilled lived here), and even made Greg hop in some dumpsters behind home construction sites to get other wood pieces. I sanded them down and painted these ones, I plan on covering the front with paper and trying to make them look cute. It will say L-O-V-E or H-O-M-E or something equally cliche ;-)
I got into a card-making frenzy and went nuts with paper and embellishments strewn about the room . I can't believe the HUGE mess I made, right after Greg helped me organize my scrapbook room . It really is a disaster. These are just a few that I actually thought to take pictures of. We also made cards at the Teton House, one lady wanted some for her 19th and 20th great granddaughters that will be born this month. I can hardly imagine having kids let alone 30-something grandkids and almost 21 great grandkids.
This is Wallace playing pool. He was going around knocking all the balls into the pockets. I was surprised he actually held still long enough to take a picture. He's a funny little guy. Tonight its just the two of us. Greg went snowmobiling with Bryce and Maggie and I couldn't go so Wallace and I are cuddling =) Tonight we are watching a movie at the Teton House and I'll be lucky if I can even get any of the residents out to do anything. Its funny because I would think these old people would want to come out to the activities I plan because I think, "What else are you gonna do but sit in your room and watch TV". But during the week only one or two show up. Oh well. Hopefully its fun for those 2 people that come.
For Josie's birthday her mom made this really cute cake shaped like a giant cupcake and I thought it was so cute I wanted to show it. Garrett and Josie are getting married in about a month! I'm so excited for them.

Crafty Randomness
We finished season 5 of 24 and I just started season 6! Pretty sad how much I've gotten into it. Seems like we are always quoting something from it or I even had a dream where Jack Bauer was riding in the car with me and told me to put on my seatbelt. The next morning I got in the car to drive to school and I remembered so I quickly put on my seatbelt. Don't want any more visits from Jack telling me what to do.

Thanks for sharing all of your crafty new projects, makes me feel like I need to get going with some of mine again... maybe after the baby is born. :)
Miss you and wish I could see them in person.
Way to go, Mik! Your crafts are so cute! Your internship sounds pretty fun too. Haha...When I worked at one of the homes down here, I was in charge of having an icecream party for the residents every week and we'd only get a couple of people to come too. :)
I'm so glad you've had Jack Baur dreams too! Jason and I watched 4 or 5 seasons when we were dating. We'd watch a whole disc in a day, and apparently that was too much for my brain because I'd have action-packed dreams all the time! Haha
