I finally made it!

At the beginning of the last school year I met an amazing person.  I was new to the school and didn't know anyone.  I volunteered to serve pizza to the kids on Wednesdays with another mom, Lindsey Chaney.  Well let me tell you....!  She is quite talented and an inspiration to me.  When I went to her house, she had this FANTASTIC "Family Rules" canvas that she made herself.  I asked if I could take a picture to copy at home.  I immediately bought blank canvas (well it was on sale at Michael's & how often does that happen! Guess what, now I know, canvas goes on sale a lot....), anyway.  I had the canvas laying around my house for months and finally....

I didn't do family rules, like Lindsey, but I used President Gordon B. Hinkley's B's.  It's very colourful!  I don't think it's as nice as Lindsey's but its a good effort!  Check out Lindsey's blog "thepleatedpoppy"  She shows off all her cool crafts and sells some of it too!  Happy browsing & some shopping too!

Pie, Pie, Pie & a very large nephew!

My friends and I went out for a birthday girls night out and we're terribly frugal.   You see we went to Marie Callenders for dessert.  And heres the conundrum, one slice $4.99 or an entire pie for $6.99 AND our waiter was in a contest on how many pies he could sell!  Well, being the frugal women that we are and willing to help the competitive spirit of our waiter, we each bought an entire pie!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


And what other wonders appear in my life, but a surprise visit from my nephew.   LOOK at him, He's huge!  Like 6'1" and 18 years old just graduated from high school.   Congratulations Jonathon!


Abby never left his side!  She adores him!

June Wedding


My friend got married this weekend.  She looked beautiful.  And the day went off without a hitch, or should I say with a hitch....... Mr. & Mrs Bradley Boulton were hitched!  HAHAHA!
Anyway it was beautiful.  The Bridal shower I had a few days back was for Abby and I made this banner for her shower and WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT!  She used it for her reception!

The dessert table was amazing......You could get all the whip cream you wanted!  You served yourself!

She even had cookie jars.  3 of them!  and who did I find with their hands in the cookie jar!!!



We all had a good time!



Congratulations Abby & Brad!
