WOW! A Crazy Shocker that Ruined My Day

Recently, I cut back on my phone bill, without actually having to cut back on the "extras." I figured everything out with T-moblie, and I was supposed to be getting a GREAT deal on my phone plan. So, naturally I was very excited to get my bill for the month. However, when I actually recieved it, the stack of papers was SO BIG that I actually believed it was a catalog for my homephone addition to the plan. When I opened it... I was absolutely shocked! Check this out...

ISN'T IT INSANE! WOW! I am very glad to share with you that the problem has been fixed, and my bill was NOT that expensive. Thankfully. :)

If you want a CRAZY Game, one you play late at night with some close Family and Friends, this is your game... On the Box it says Random Has a New Meaning... and it doesn't lie. The funniest part is there is no rules really to start, but as you land on blue spaces, you gain roolz either for yourself, or the whole group. Things like; when you share a space you must hold hands with that person, or people until you no longer share the space... You end all sentences with IZZLE, etc. But if your up for having a little fun, try this GAME, I Love it!

Scraping in a Frame!

Scrapbookers and paper crafters are all the same. When they see something, they start thinking about how to make it better, or how to make it more personal. At least, that is how I think. Maybe I am weird, but I think that you can all relate. We all have had one of those moments at least once in our lives. I took a mat and made it my own by stamping it, adding some rub on words, and I finished it off with a ribbon. I then found the perfect frame, popped it in, and it became my own, original way of scrapbooking/papercrafting. Scrapbooking in a frame. It is oh so fun! If you ever have the time, or you ever find yourself out of ideas, give it a try! I'm sure you'll enjoy it just as much as I did!

Try it out.

{Hairbow Holder}

My daughter, Ginay, made this adorable "holder" for hair bows! It's simple, handy, and absolutely adorable! You just clip on the bows and flowers that you are not using for the headbands. It's a cute decoration, and a useful one too.

I just wanted to point out these adorable flowers. They are homemade, and the middle is pinned together with brads. Just imagine the possiblilities!!

Brads and flowers....Hairbows and clips....

that's all for now!

Just a few Cute Ideas

Here are a couple cute ideas for Valentine give aways this year!

My daughter actually made this one. The heart is made up of DRIED, crunched rose petals. And the wodden frame can be bought at any craftstore for only a couple dollars. Cute, huh?

Card Group for January

Here are a few cute cards from a card group I have been with for 12 years. One of the best things about this group is that we can all still see eachother! Even after all the moves. We all have busy lives, but somehow, this little card group provides a way for us to get together every month. How nice. :) Hope you liked the cards!

Christmas Fun

Sorry this post is a little late...but, I have been busy! (As usual!) I just thought I would share with you the amazing experience I had over Christmas Break. As most of you know, my family and I got to drive up to our cabin in Idaho and spend christmas with all of my siblings and their children. It was absolutely fantastic! It was nice just to get a break from everything, but it was even nicer to get to be with all the people I care about and love. Plus, the snow up there was absolutely amazing. We got about 2 feet of snow christmas eve... in fact, we had to get a shovel out just to open the door to our car. It was insane! The snow was so deep! And the kids were loving it!

This is a picture of my neice Lauren, and my daughter CaLea out in the snow. Yes, CaLea is standing straight up. Like I said, the snow was SO deep! And this wasn't even the deepest part.

Well, I just have to say that I was grateful to get away from my extremely busy life for a week. It was so nice! And I am so grateful I got the opportunity to spend time with all of my family. That's all for now,

My adorable grandson Jake. Isn't he the cutest thing? This picture was actually taken by my daughter CaLea. "Santa" gave her a camera for Christmas, and she was taking pictures of everything! It was kind of nice, because it meant I didn't have to worry about taking pictures.

This picture was taken right when we got home. After about 5 or 6 hours of driving home in a car...glamorous.

Jake Warren Thurston... Grandchildren are so much fun! If I would have known how fun they were, I would have definately had them FIRST.

This is the best picture we could get of the front of our cabin...the snow kind of got in the way.

Charlie and Jake playing with one of the Christmas presents I gave Jakie.

Here's a couple pictures of the scenery. Simply beautiful.
