Craft room

Aren't these the cutest craft room ideas ever!! This is my next project once I get our Christmas stuff put away.

Christmas cookies

Will I ever learn my lesson when I make these..I always make them too thin and have like over two dozen cookies! Which is fine until I have to frost them then it sucks! Oh well. :)

Festival of Trees

Me and my friend Jenny volunteered at the festival of trees wednesday night. Once we got off work we headed straight out there, by the time we got there we could only volunteer for about two hours. We worked in "The Sweet Shop" behind the Scenes. We helped put together some plates of chocolate, saran wrap them, and price them. We were talking with a lady Jenny knows who is on the committee every year. She said she works a full time job and every year she saves up her vacation time to volunteer at the Festival of Trees. She goes and picks things up in the morning starting around 7am then works at the Festival of Trees from 9am until about 11 at night. I'm sure many of the other volunteers are the same way. I was talking to her about the money they make from The Sweet Shop and she said 100% of the profits go to Primary Children's and that a lot of businesses will donate all the ingredients to make all the treats! So everything is 100% donation and volunteer. I'm sure most people know that..but i didn't and I thought it was awesome! I don't know about most people but I don't think I would be willing to use my own vacation time and still continue to work long hours without getting paid. It's good to know there are still some good hearted people out there! Last year they raised $1.5 million for Primary Children's do it really does go to a good cause.
*Do not judge me in these pictures the apron was way to big for me and makes me look GIANT!!

Christmas decorations

We Just got all of our Christmas decorations up. This last weekend we put up our outside lights and put up the Christmas tree and decorated it. Everything looks super cute! I love our big living room in our new house it's perfect for the Christmas tree! At our last house we didn't have the best outside space for our lights, but we had fun putting them all up at this house it was much more fun this year! Although I don't really feel like its Christmas yet..maybe it's the lack of snow..which I am 100% fine with! I would be fine if it didn't snow until Christmas eve!
p.s. I know these pictures suck..I pretty much took them in the dark with my phone..but everything really does look cute! :)

Black Friday

I have always gone black Friday shopping but this year we decided to go on thanksgiving night. We have wanted a new tv for our family room but never wanted to spend the money on one. Walmart had a really good deal on a 40 inch tv..so we couldn't pass it up. We ended up standing in line for 5 hours inside Walmart. I have never seen so many crazy people before! We couldn't see much from where we had to stand but you could just hear the craziness! I can defiantly see how people end up getting hurt!!
My brother ended up meeting us there too, We took home 3 40 inch TVs and 3 people home in a little car..one tv hanging out of the trunk..and me sitting on Chris's lap. It was quite the experience..and yes we will probably do it again!!

Blogging!

I have followed a few people's blogs..and I have decided to give in and start one of my own! My life isn't very interesting so I may not have much to blog about..so I probably won't use this that often but we will see :)
