Crafty Randomness

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.

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.

February

This has been a great week. Lots of time with friends and family, and topped it off with great church meetings Sunday. Its amazing how easily we forget that the Lord knows us, each person individually, then sends us little reminders. That's just one of the reasons I love going to church Sundays. I feel that the Lord speaks to me and answers prayers through people's comments during lessons and especially while singing hymns. I got a great reminder today about pride. This guy got up during Fast and Testimony meeting and explained that we don't need pride because the Lord loves us SO much, so there is no need to impress anyone else, just Him. That's a very simplified version, but pride is something I've been struggling with lately. Mostly just admitting when I'm wrong - I know, like that ever happens.

On another note, This is Wallace and his girlfriend Juicey. She's a Maltese and we want to bread them. Wallace fallows her around non-stop. Last Thursday we went to Josey's birthday party (Josey is Greg's brother Garrett's financee) and hung out for about 6 hours. Wallace never left Juicey's side and we would tease him by trapping him in a corner while Juicey ran off and Wallace would flip out! Anyway I thought this one was cute since it looks like he's kissing her ;-)
