FINSIHED!

Good thing I made that last stop at the fabric store to get the rest of the materials I needed for my quilt. Because i live in an Ice-Burg, School-or i should say the high school where i work got canceled because it was too freezing cold. I heard it got to -29 degrees the night before. crazy huh! Anyways, because of this I was able to spend all day working on my quilt. I was so excited to finally finish it. I am really happy with how it turned out. I personally think its even cuter in real life....haha! :)

What to do...

My husband has been gone now for the 5th day in a row for work and i'm giong a little crazy. You don't realize how much your rely on someone until they aren't there. Let me tell you...Sleeping all by my lone some in our little house for the first time was pretty scary. haha Good thing I have night lights everywhere. :) Anyways, to entertain my self while he has been gone i've been makings quite a few trips to the craft store. I have to entertain my self some how...and i get bored easily. I finally got a chance to work on a quilt that i've had the material for, for over a year. I just bought the backing for it today, so i am excited how the finish product will turn out. I will be sure to post a picture.

Also, while at the craft store the other day I wanted to make some type of decoration for Valentines day....and this is what I ended up making. kinda cute and fun to make!

Maybe next time John will think twice before leaving me for so long.

John and I made this mirror thingy not to long ago. I was so proud of our accomplishments. He is so good with helping me with crafts...even though he tells me i'm not aloud to put anymore holes in the walls. So if I want to change things up, i usually do it when he is gone and he doesn't usally notice for awhile. he he he. I trick him! :)

What made this project even better was the fact that it cost me like 15 bucks from start to finish to make it. If you buy one similar at a craft show they are usually asking like 60 bucks. -like i'm going to pay that. Who really goes to craft shows to buy things-its more like steal ideas. haha

I made another one and gave it to my mom for Christmas, i think she liked it...

...and some more

--Christmas day & Night-Out sledding down our hill on the farm, duck hunting, and scratching scratch tickets. :) we won $9. haha

...some of our trip in WA

You'll never guess that we got all these ducks in just one jump. Thats right, 12 shots, 20 ducks. Pretty freaking amazing. We had a blast. The best part was hurrying to pick them up and ringing their necks and throwing them into a big pile out in the corn field. It felt like finding easter eggs. haha. Maybe John will be convinced to move to WA after all, now that he is realizing we got more game here than ID. :)

Got to love Christmas time, the cold, and all the snow flying!

I love Christmas!

The other night, John and I went over to my old roomate and her husbands house and made ginger bread houses. It was so much fun, John was really into it until we got to the roof part and we were having stress, than he kind of gave up-but still help out.

We are heading to WA for Christmas. We leave this Sunday. I am so excited to be home for Christmas. Man, you never really know how much you miss home and your home life till you move away for good. College you get a little climps but not quiet the whole thing. So i pretty much can't wait. :) Hope to see you all real soon!

Our first tree together!

We had a good thanksgiving break. John and I cut down our first Christmas tree together....and then brought it home and decorated it-my favorite part. especailly since John let me buy some tree decorations. YAY!
We didn't bring the truck up to Driggs, and I didn't want to wait to bring it home, cause i was so excited-so we went with option B. hahaha!

Yup we have barb-wire around our tree :)

So we went to Porters (the craft store) cause john found some christmas bulbs there that he liked one day when I dragged him along with me, and I found this way cute rustic star tree topper. I begged him to buy it for me (cause we are kind of on a budget) He said i could have it if it was under $10, well i figured it had to be more than that, so i said $15, he disagreed, so we agreed on $12....well actually I agreed on $12.99. :) We'll the cashier lady rang it up and it was only $9.99! I was so excited.

And a few weekends ago, i also dragged him along to this Craft Fair down in Idaho Falls, and found this way cute Bride & Groom decoration, so i had to get it of course since this is our first Christmas together. You all are probably thinking that John is such a sweetheart for going all these girly places with me, we'll he is i'll give him credit. But after talking to some of his friends he relizes that he is the only guy that does this willing, so he therefore began to tell me that next year he is just going to give me some money and let me go on my own. Which, OK, its kind of a bum deal, but, give me money? Alright! haha
