I am forewarning you that this post may be a little long. We had to reformat our desktop and some of the programs still don't work quite right yet, and its been putting a cramp in my blogging.

1. I am going to start with a few of my most recent projects. My favorite is the Valentine advent calendar. I found it on another blog. Hers was so cute I had to do it myself. I told my mom about it and she suckered me into making 10 more... I'll be working on them all day tomorrow!

I've been trying to use my cricut to cut vinyl. I still need more practice! I made labels from my moms Sugar, Flour, etc in her kitchen. And then she is also making a plaque for my niece Tara's birthday. It'll be a handy tool to have once I can perfect the system!


2. The family I babysit for had tickets for the local hockey team here on Tuesday. They weren't going to use them so Chris and I did. I never work Tuesday night, so we have designated it as our family/date night and this was a perfect activity. The seats were on the front row next to the penalty box. We had a good time... next time we are going to brush up on the rules of Hockey first. I didn't really understand what was going on.
The one fight of the game.

3. We had tickets to the Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, and Dierks Bentley concert last night. So GOOD! Other than the freezing cold walk to and from the car the night was amazing :) We have seen Dierks before. He is a great performer. Brad Paisley was a lot better than I expected! It really was a very good show by all 3!




I have to tell you all how romantic my husband is. There is a song Paisley sings called, Wrapped Around. Part of the chorus says "I've been wrapped around her finger since the first time we went out." Chris grabbed my hand and leaned over and sang his version in my ear. It went something like this..."I've been wrapped around her finger since the first time we made out." He just knows how to melt my heart haha :)

4. Here are some random pictures from Christmas, New Years and the days in between. Chris had the week before Christmas off - Jan 3rd. We started to get a little restless at home so much together. So much so that we played Monopoly... just the two of us... a lot.
Zoe loves to sit on the table. She use to push the chair to the back door and sit on it waiting for us to let her in. She's a pain in the you know what... but isn't she so cute!
I hope I'm not turning into a crazy lady that doesn't have kids so I talk about my dogs all the time!

On the way to the farm... they love it! I love how their lips always get stuck on their under bite.

...Note to self... don't attempt to take Christmas pictures with animals...

New years... in a kid size hat... my head looks huge!

I think that's all I have for now! Congratulations if you made it through all of my rambling!

Your cricut stuff is SO CUTE!! I have one, and I am not nearly as crafty with mine! I need some lessons!

Your calendar is so cute. I am definitely not crafty like that. I have to buy all of my stuff pre-made.

And aren't hockey games so much fun:) I'm usually not too violent, but I LOVE when they get in fights. Crazy stuff!

Umm I love your Valentine's Calendar and the Be Mine especially. I want a cricut but my husband doesn't think I'll use it... I'm gonna show him your pictures so maybe he'll change his mind!

I found the frames just at Robert's Craft Store. I kind of wanted bigger ones, but those were the biggest they had. They sometimes have them at like Walmart or Target too. Good luck!
