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.

P-Town and Utah

Blake and I got to go to Pendleton and then to West Point Utah last week. It was good to see family again and have a good time! In Pendleton Blake took me on a date to Great Pacific (GP) my favorite restaurant ever! Then we went to La Grand with Blake brother Blair & his wife Amber to go shoot lots of guns. It was awesome to be in the mountains again and shoot stuff up. Nothing living of course. Later on we went to visit his parents in Utah. For this leg of the trip Blake didn't know i was coming but his mom did. I dropped him off at the airport Thursday and i flew over Friday night. The shock on his face was priceless as i sneaked through the front door. The next morning I surprised his dad too. It was fun to be sneaky! On Saturday Blake and I went for a drive up the canyon to Snow Basin resort to see the trees leaves changing and to hike around. We took the gondola up to the top and and it started raining and thundering so we didn't last long on the trails. On the way d...
