Camp Counselor (CIT) / Downhill Skiing

Camp Counselor In Training..... yep! To be honest I've never been to a camp a day in my life..... (unless you count Vacation Bible School) let alone a week long camp! I mean... I've been to sleepovers(two even lasted around week!)so there is no problem it's just different.... you know?!?!?!

So, since I'm two years to old to participate I decided to try out being a camp counselor (In Training *CIT*); And drag along my friend Duke for the journey.... ha..ha...ha... This weekend is our Camp Staff Training.... which will be exciting and fun!*I HOPE* We have a camp planning mtg. once a month too. I really hope to learn a lot from this experience as a CIT! I'm super excited!!!!!!!!!

I......LOVE......SKIING! I went downhill skiing this past Saturday with my dad! We had a great time! I took it slow, down the bunny hill twice; then up the ski lift to the top! I've only been skiing 3 times including this past Saturday. I'm not professional by any means... but neither is my dad... at least I didn't plow a little girl over *ahem*. It wasn't his fault, really. There was a large pile of people scattered all over the *get off zone*(no idea what it's called) of the ski lift, so he swerved and the girl was right there! He felt terrible! Well here are a few pictures!

I didn't make it on the same lift as my dad.. oops..

I did go off the jumps a few times; and fell a few times...but here a clip!

My dad thought I looked like a turtle! I couldn't stand up, I was stuck... lol

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Valentines Day / Creativity

So it's that time of year.... again.... the time of LOVE; but I personally just enjoy the candy....

Since it's that time of year, I get my annual boost of creativity! *Winter can really dim your creative spirit* I make handmade valentines... (almost every year) which brings the dreadful question of.... what is my design?!?!? Well, this year.... I slacked...... I cut out hearts and wrote "Happy Valentines Day" on all of them and attached a mini candy bar. I admit.... it's not my finest work but they look okay *and are delicious*, so that's all that matters. right? 

This year I took more time on the box.... my design, inspired from Pinterest..... A GUMBALL MACHINE! I began right away. Who could have thought a wipes box (the cardboard part obviously) could become a gumball machine??!?!?!? Well... here are the pics!

Mwahhh!!!

"Gumballs" made from cotten balls

And the top fell off...

It's not 100% finished as the "gumballs" are still drying...   Once they are dry the "gumballs" go into the "two containers."

 It's okay if I do say so myself....the important thing is.... I like it!

Now that I started "crafting" I won't be able to stop.... it's totally not a problem.. ;)

Well... I decided to do some late night sewing last night... and I chose to steal an idea from Mrs.Bethany Durie. Here is the post from "Grace of my Redeemer!"

Emmett was not thrilled about lying down

Warning for all sewers... if you use hot glue instead of pins cause it's already out and your being lazy.... *ahem*, don't sew over that spot... or you'll sit there for 45 minutes pulling out your hair, shouting at the sewing machine. Moral of the story.... don't be LAZY! ha...ha..ha
