Conforming

For some reason, when you get married, everyone suddenly thinks you like to make crafts.

I guess I'm conforming.

Remember this post about how I was getting all crafty and what not?
Well, I have been crafting some more! (and more then just buying a piece of metal)

First up, Thanksgiving Turkey!

The beginning of November we made a trip to Burley so Clayson could kill a turkey. 

While he and his brothers killed, I opted to stay home and create a turkey with his mom and sisters. 

Much more uplifting. And cute  :)

Next, Christmas Trees!

The girls in our neighborhood get together once a month and have a craft night.
I've started going to these, mostly in an attempt to make friends.
It's fun and I am slowly finding my inner craft.

Also, I'm too cheap right now to buy decorations that will only be up for 1 month, so it's a good alternative. 

This is literally all the Christmas decorations we have. 

Call us Scrooge. 

Last, the Christmas Penguin!

On one of our visits to Rexburg, my mom got craft ornaments for the grandkids to make. 

Addy got the Penguin, which was probably the most complex, so I helped her out a little. 

Please excuse my appearance.

She was the boss and I was the labor.

We make a good team.

I'm so proud of my crafty little self  

(lets not talk about the fact that all the above had all the materials provided, an example/picture to follow, and step-by-step instructions/instructor)

Bring on the next craft!

Coeur d' Alene Thanksgiving

For Thanksgiving I went to Coeur d' Alene with my parents and sister to visit my brother and his cute family. Love them!

One of my favorite parts was the annual gingerbread house competition. We split into two teams and put our creativity to work! I am now going to be lazy and give you an excerpt from my brother's blog:

"And of course, we had our Annual Gingerbread House Contest! This is where you come in. We have two teams. We'll call them "Team A" and "Team B." Please look at both, read the descriptions, and then VOTE by leaving a comment on this blog or on one our our Facebook pages. Really, we have a full year of bragging rights at stake here, so don't take this lightly."

Please vote! I need those bragging rights, people  :)

You can vote on my blog or facebook as well. I'll post the winner in after all the votes have been counted. 

Guys, this is so fun! 

Vote!

ok

Well, I was going to write more about how great Thanksgiving was and post pictures on here, but apparently I am "out of space" again. 

Lame! 

But if you want to see some disgusting pictures of me (I loose all hygiene when I travel) and my cute nieces and nephew, you can just read my brother's blog for that too. He's a better writer than I am anyway.

oh yeah, and one more thing....

Vote!

(All links in this post will lead you to the same place, where you can vote.... or here on my blog. or my facebook)

(In case you didn't know, anything yellow is a link)

(And here's the link again, if you still haven't voted)

Thank you and goodnight.
