Friday Office crafty Fairies....



My office manager brought in hollyhock flowers from her garden and taught us how to make fairies.
It was pretty fun and hilarious we were doing it at work.

What you need:
a bloomed flower for the dress
Flower bud for the head

Instructions:
set the bloomed hollyhock upside down. Take a bud and peel off the green outer layers. You will see little holes at the base. Pick out two for your eyes. Shape the end of the left over greens for the nose. opposite of your eyes put the stem of the bloomed flower in the hole, now you have a head. Soo cute. Here is what we made....

Dads Weekend Chili & football

Image
I had to work on Saturday for dad's weekend and you can tell it was really rough! It was dang cold but the food was good and i had VIP tickets to the football game. It was an amazing game and I sat by some very stressed out and intense fanatic males. It was hilarious and of course they offered to explain all the plays for me. One guy behind me got a phone call that when something like this: "I am at the football game and under extreme pressure right now!..." "Yes, i am under extreme pressure! They just got a touch down but are now trying to take away the points."......... "Don't stress me out. I need a time out right now, don't stress me out i am under alot of pressure"..... It must have been his wife but it was extremely hilarious to see a grown man so stressed out over football. Ok, plus he was a little drunk so it made it even more funny. It was perfect weather and all around a great day.

Blake and I are house sitting/ dog sitting again. I love this dog. He is my adopted child. Toby the Wonder Dog!!!!! So last night I was giving Blake a head massage and Toby started growling at us.

Toby and i were having a great old time playing when all of a sudden a little yappy dog came cruising over to where we where. Boy did he want Toby's ball. They both started playing but then the other dog started to get nippy. I did not like that. Anyway I tried to get the dogs collar but he was to quick. Owner still cruising at the other end of the park with not a care.... I had enough so I finally got the ball and h
