my new adventure....

I've decided that even though staying home and being lazy can be great...i need something to do with my time! This way I won't loaf on the couch for most the morning, hop in the shower around noon, then wait-wait-wait for my husband to come home at 6:00! So i've started a new business (with Corey's help) and I think it will be really fun and definitely a new adventure! Here's some of my latest work....Basically I get pictures that have already been taken, i make them look antiqued, old, "frayed"... I print, mount and cover the photo with a protective finish....and wallah you get an art piece! If you like my work...check out my new blog HERE and you can see what I'm all about! Spread the word and let me know what you think!Thanks!

Easter in Siberia...

So this year...like most we spent Easter at Bear Lake! I love going up there and it's always so nice to get away for a few days....BUT....the lake is still frozen and it is SOOOO DANG COLD! I feel bad for Ashlee because you have to live there...not that it isn't beautiful for the most part! Overall, we had some GREAT food...thanks MOM! And we just relaxed, so I'd have to say it was a lot of fun!
These are my SWEET Easter eggs...the one in the back is kinda gross!


And of course, a holiday wouldn't be complete without....A FAMILY PICTURE!

my blogging slump...

I feel like we're in the blah part of the year where not much is going on! Therefore, I have nothing to blog about! But today I went shopping with my Mom, and we found some pretty killer deals! I ended up buying a hoodie, three shirts, and a pair of shorts! That always makes me happy! So get out there and shop the sales!


Also I feel like I've just been posting projects that me and Corey have been working on, but these are so cute...I HAD to post them!


I was given the frame in the middle, and decided that I was smart enough to re-create them in different sizes! I scored by finding the exact paper and everything! Aren't they cute? I can't wait to have Corey hang them for me!

i've been waiting for 2 1/2 years....

Not only did my husband work at a frame shop when we got married, he continued to do so until last summer! I only wanted ONE frame, just ONE frame...and I got it yesterday! Hallelujah!
Corey in the process...

My sorry attempt to metal leaf...but I helped!

Wallah! The end result...and I'm just tickled!

saying goodbye...

Chris and Katy Sampson are moving away to Washington! We've known now for about a month, but it has absolutely flown by since we got the news! But on Saturday there was a little get together and then we had to say goodbye! Our trio will now just become a duo, because today they moved away and I even tortured myself again by going to say goodbye one more time! Ironically enough, after two and half years of hanging out, I haven't taken a single picture with these two amazing friends until this week!

First we cried....


Then we laughed...


And then we posed for one last picture...and yes, they all look the same!


So goodbye Katy, I will miss you a lot! Thanks for always being such an awesome friend! I really wish you weren't moving away!
