YW's Christmas Gift

I made this one (in the picture) for my niece Madison's 12th birthday. But we (me & my leaders) made these for our girls for Christmas. It was alot of work...but they turned out great!

each flower is a color of the Young Woman's Value.

Faith - White, Divine Nature - Blue, etc....

Cute Gift Idea

My visiting teacher/friend brought this to me.
Thought it was a super cute idea.

soda cooling

since it's about 10 degrees outside. figured this was better than cramming them into the fridge.

One of my two new hats from Christmas.

a great rising

I made a double batch of bread dough last night for our company lunch today. Well i put it in my jumbo tupperware bowl (holds 42 cups) thinking it would be safe for the night in the fridge.

this morning i found this...

It popped the lid off!

a letter to Santa..

Christmas Tree Hunting

Saturday we went to the South Hills with most of Kevin's family to cut down our Christmas Tree. Fun times!! And for only a $5 permit. Awesome!

Wind Blown

I help Kevin & Ray at work today shovel the snow and this is what i looked like afterwards...

Kevin's Favorite Saying...

Whenever we see something we 'want/think we need' we always say "Save your pennies". I honestly don't know how we will EVER save enough Pennies for everything on our list.

Especially since I'm adding another item...

Isn't it beautiful?!

We have a table and it works great, still looks good, even as a 'hand-me-down' table from my sister Carolyn. But oh how LOVELY would this look in my dining room!

well... as Kevin loves to tell me "save your pennies".

*sigh*

Applesauce Making

This years applesauce making adventure. We love homemade applesauce. It's just ALOT of work. But worth it in the end...right?! Kevin & I ended up with 8 qts and 48 pints of applesauce and 6 pints of apple rings. No pic of the final products.
