Just some Layouts

These are a few of my layouts that I have made for the critiques that we have at work. We have a challenge each week when we do our layout. It's a really good thing for me-so then I will use a variety of techniques, product, etc. Can I just say that I love my job! :)

Christmas Spirit

Okay, I know it has been a while since Thanksgiving break, but I am finally getting to blogging it. I enjoy the Christmas time so much. The day after thanksgiving we put up the tree and decorated inside and out! Literally. We then made some yummy yummy spiced walnuts and almonds! My mom and Kendra also made ginger snaps for our Widow party that we have every year for the widows in our town that we had that following Sunday. We had a busy holiday, but such a great time!

American Crafts Warehouse Sale

The American Crafts Warehouse Sale has been extended til the 20th! So you should still come down and get a good deal! There is still a lot of great product left. It will be as if you never missed out on anything! Please come and come see me too! Have a great day!

Want a GREAT deal on scrapbooking supplies?!

If you love to scrapbook or do projects and have it be affordable, this is the place to come! This is American Crafts first Warehouse Sale. The company is trying to get rid of product that has been discontinued or an overstock. Friends and Family of employees of the company will have the pleasure of coming to the warehouse this Thursday (4th) from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm. Get there early to have a chance to get the stuff you want before it's all gone. Tell all your friends and family to come on Friday and Saturday as well! I would love to see you there!

Inspiration for Creativity

At work, while we are designing, sometimes we need to take a break from what we are doing and find inspiration. I really enjoy looking around the web at blogs and websites for inspiration from others. If only I could do crafty things and scrapbook all day long--I would be in heaven! I cannot believe how many creative people there are out in the world. If you would like to see the inspiration I have found and want to add a little creative spunk into your life , I will be making a new link set on the side of blogs and websites that inspire me that could help you as well. I am going to put a little twist into my blog in the near future. There are great ideas for things to do for the holidays. What a fun way to spruce up the holidays I would have to say. I hope these places will inspire you as much as they have inspired me. Leave a comment and let me know what you think of this idea! PLEASE I would appreciate it. AND do you have any thing/place that inspires you? I would love to know!

Thanksgiving Day

A picture of the whole group excluding me because I was taking it.

The placecards that my mom and I made.

A few of the essentials of a thanksgiving meal:

The yummy rolls that my aunt made!

A very great turkey that was so moist and savory.

My mom's famous gravy. Look at the steam that is coming off that gravy.

Thanksgiving this year was different then any of the other years. We usually spend Thanksgiving at my Grandma Robinson's house, but my dad wanted to do it at home this year. We spent Thanksgiving at home with my mom and dad, Kendra, Shean, my aunt Susan and uncle Randall and my cousin Amanda. It was quite small this year, but it was actually relaxing. It was really enjoyable and I think we made it quite fun and a new tradition than what we have done in the past.

The Beginning of Thanksgiving Break

On Tuesday night, a bunch of my friends and I were so excited that it was finally Thanksgiving break. We decided to celebrate, so we went to chili's late that night. We took a few pictures on the way there and then, of course, pictures of us enjoying our food. We all got quite the variety of foods: Bacon Cheeseburger, fries dipped with icecream, lava molten cakes, and chips and salsa. YUMMMMY! What a great way to start off the holiday break.

Kendra's Shower

A couple weeks ago Kendra had a few bridal showers up at home. It was a great weekend to see all the cousins and friends from town. We are so excited for Kendra and Shean!

Nate and Mckenna have so much fun when they are together. What cute 2nd Cousins!

A picture of my sisters and our favorite niece, Mckenna (she was getting tired by then).

The Ratings

These were just a few pictures that were taken before the movie.

These pictures were taken outside the theatre while we were waiting in line to go see it.
My roommates wanted to buy t-shirts and wear them to the show, but I thought I would design some and have them made from a good friend for a lot cheaper! They thought that was a great idea. Not only was it cheaper, but they were customized! :) Side note: 01 not only stands for Edward, it also stands for apartment #1. We thought that was pretty clever.

I know it has taken me forever to post this, but I have been super super busy. Twilight was awesome everyone! I just thought I would tell you that I really did enjoy it and I hope that you will like it as much as I did. The movie went so fast it felt like since it followed the book very well! For those of you who have not read the book, I recommend that you read the book before you go so you don't think we, as readers, are lame. You will also enjoy the movie a lot more, hopefully. I have heard a lot that like it and a lot that don't care for it. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

YES!!!! TWILIGHT TICKETS!!!!

I know I know there are probably a lot of you who are jealous. Just kidding! There are probably a lot of you who don't care and think this is another High School Musical movie, but not really for me! I would probably think that way if I haven't read the books. Yes! That's right! My roommates and I got tickets 2 weeks in advance so we could see it at the midnight showing. I have never done this before. Some of my roommates are so into it that they are one of those who dresses up like a vampire to go to the movie. That's going a little too far for me. BUT I designed some t-shirts to be printed so we could have unique shirts. I'll take pictures when we wear them. I just hope that the movie is as good as the books. The characters for Bella and Edward seem a little iffy. I hope I can fall in love with them as much as I have in the books. :)
