Christmas

It just wouldn't be Christmas if BJ didn't make something. This year he surprised me with it too. Maddie loves playing checkers with BJs chess game he brought back from Brazil. He made her this checkers board at work. We have to play a game every night before she goes to bed. Her Dad has been giving her pointers. I use to beat her when she first got it. Now she wins every time!

Yes we got a dog - those of you that know me are probably shocked! :) For months now all Maddie talks about are dogs. Every Monday her school class goes to the library and she brings home dog books. Well this year she wrote a letter to Santa at school and asked for a puppy and an ornament (why an ornament, I have no idea :). Well I didn't really pay attention to her letter she wrote Santa. BJ and I already bought an X-BOX Kinect for them and thats all we were going to do. On December 23 Maddie decided she wanted to buy something to give Tucker. I took her to Target to buy him a Thomas the train. While we were there she asked me if I ever wrote a letter to Santa when I was little. I told her yes. She wanted to know if they ever came true. Me being busy trying to find a train and didn't realize where this was going responded yes my letters came true. She got a huge smile on her face and said "yes! That means I am getting a puppy!" I went home and told BJ what happened. He looked at me and said "Oh crap!" (except it wasn't crap :)). He always says I am the push over but I think its really him. He was on KSL looking for dogs. Thanks to my brother in law Kelby for helping us out we were able to find Maddie a puppy for Christmas!

Second visit to see Jaxs (short for Jaxson)

There are ten puppies. We don't get to pick until it is time to bring the puppy home.
This one that she is holding is named Hailey. The little girl where we are buying the puppy from likes to wrap her up like a doll. Maddie liked that!

When Maddie opened the controller for the XBOX she was so excited she looked up and said "What the Hell?" BJ and I looked at each other and started laughing so hard. I don't think she knew what she was saying cuz she felt dumb after she saw us laughing at her. I thought it was kinda funny though - she is such an innocent little girl!

Recent Creations

My Cute Family!!!

This was what we gave to our neighbors for Christmas. I also made them for my primary class but added I am going there someday on theirs.

Picture Frames

These polka dot frames are my next project for BJ. I think it would be easier if he would just show me how to do it myself! I would like to be able to offer different picture frames to my clients when the order pictures.

It only took six months after having this picture printed on metallic paper for BJ to get this frame made for me and hung on my wall! He isn't taking my projects serious :) But I guess it was worth the wait cuz I love it!

Headbands

Hair clips

headbands tie in the back. They also have elastic in the back to help hold in place.

My Pretty Pretty Princess

Head band - yes I had to use Maddies doll to take the picture. Maddie is in school all day and I forget to take it when she is around!

Finally finished Maddies skirt. Now I need to hit the sale at Old Navy. I want to get her some black leggings and a long sleeve black shirt to wear with it. I will post pictures soon - I hope :)
