Christmas Crafts...

I've been working on this Christmas Tree for a few weeks now. 

Slowly but surely it came along. :) 

I got this Christmas tree idea from my friend Morgaines blog: It's Simple Holiday's 

--> she's ubber-dubber crafty, and has every single craft tool under the sun I swear <--

{ Here's what you need }

• cut up scrapbook paper
• pins
• scissors
• & the green looking foam things from Michael's in whatever size you'd like. I was planning on making a family of trees, but have yet to complete more than one ;)

[ Complete ] [ ! ]

• Bow added to the top / I had to hot glue it to stay well

[ Now I'm inspired to make more ] [ ! ]

My community group girls and I recently hosted a baby shower in my home. 

I really wanted to make Chrystal a diaper cake, but as I was googling them 

I came across the idea of making a diaper wreath! 

I had never heard of this before!  

Some looked very cute, but some looked very gaudy...which I don't like. 

That's the cool thing about a project/craft, 

you can make it what you like & that I did. 

It turned out WAY better than I had anticipated! 

I had some of a vision of how I wanted to make it, 

but really it all just came together as I was making it...as do most of my crafts. 

{ Here's what I used}

• Foam ring thing from Michael's
• Ribbon
• Diapers
• Scissors
• Hot glue
• Fun Lettering

**It was difficult to find diapers without some sort of character on them...I did NOT want a character on the diapers, but I wanted them to have some boyish color to them, so these were great!

[a great] marriage...

...is something God has blessed me with. :)

Kevin and I recently attended our first marriage retreat at the Berry Hill Resort {VERY COOL PLACE}. It was awesome. I'm really hoping BWood will do them more!! [wink::wink::hint::hint::]  - I know we aren't the only ones who appreciated it. :)

The main concept that I took away from the retreat - was to be all in with all of my heart. Below you will see a heart diagram and what facets of our hearts should be all in.

It was a great time, and I look forward to growing more and more with the love of my life.

Thank you Lord for him.
