Old and New Stash - Birthday Card

Back in Dec., I had a great idea to use up my Heidi Swapp silhouette flowers on top of glittered chipboard flowers. I started to make them at our craft day in Dec. at Victoria's, but never completed them. Well, with a special birthday coming up this week, I kicked it in full gear and put on the finishing touches.
You know how much I love Heidi Swapp product, right? Well, I used her polka dot stencil for my background, silhouette flowers, make a wish sticker and the gold arrow chipboard.

January Craft Day

Met up with my girl friends for a January craft day last Saturday. Adora hosted and check out the Cobb salad she made for us. So good!

We also love that Wendy made the last 2 dates...love you chica! We also love seeing her little baby too!
After we ate and gabbed we proceeded to craft the day away. Victoria worked on Seahawk-inspired earrings that she sells, Wendy worked on making her son Sebastian a puzzle board, Adora was busy being our host and I worked on making tissue paper tassels. I saw this tutorial by Heidi Swapp and I knew it would be a great idea to use a lot of pretty tissue paper that I have been hoarding!
I wanted to make 3 garlands, but only finished 2 with 15 tassels to a strand. I can't believe I used up all my tissue paper! Adds a little fun to the girls room :)

A little birthday love

My sister celebrated a birthday on Jan. 3rd and I had no idea what to get her. Normally we are good about creating a wish list, but this year she had no time to do that. I've been slowly putting together a scrapbook album of Autumn for her and realized we totally neglected Seth. So for Linda's birthday I whipped up a scrapbook album of Seth and I think she was quite pleased.
















Hey Linda, I need more photos!

Super Bowl Bound again!

Where were you yesterday? Sitting in front of the tv in disbelief or did you feel a comeback was inevitable? Christopher and I watched the game from home and suffered through the first 3 quarters just like everyone else. It really looked bad, but faith is the evidence of things not seen. And Mr. Russell Wilson has faith! When we recovered the onside kick is when I new without a shadow of a doubt that we could win this game and WIN we did! Such an incredible comeback.

Friday night we went to the Harmon for a Seahawk rally and enjoyed camaraderie with our fellow seahawk fans.

The Great Wheel

One weekend when Christopher was getting tattoo work done in downtown Seattle, I suggested we go on the Great Wheel. My work gave everyone 2 free tickets and I had been holding onto them for over a year. It was a very pretty scenic ride as we snapped picture after picture of the view and of ourselves.





I sure do love spending time with you, Christopher. Thanks for a great day!

Walking in a winter wonderland

Returned to a full work week and boy is it kicking my butt! Unfortunately for me, I don't get coverage while on vacation so I came back to a mountain of paperwork. It didn't kick my butt like snowshoeing up in Paradise though. I was a huffing and puffing on all the up bits. And really happy on all the down bits!



Reminder if you go to Paradise in snowy conditions bring chains with you! They might be mandatory. We forgot to bring ours and the Ranger made us turnaround. We ended up buying some chains at the outpost store for a whopping $100. The good thing was if we didn't use them, we could return them and only be charged a $10 restocking fee. And lucky for us, we made it safe and sound up and down the hill without busting out our brand new $100 chains!
