Blanding

I love going to Blanding. Even though it is out in the middle of no where I still love going. It is always a nice relaxing vacation for me. I usually take a book or just watch t.v. and relax. I went with my family this past weekend so that my brothers could go deer hunting. Ya with our families hunting luck we didn't get one, but thank goodness. The last time I went to blanding to go deer hunting with them, they actually shot one. So my nasty brothers and dad tied those dang deer to the top of the yukon with blood dripping down the sides. That isn't the worst part they stuck the heads in plastic bags and put them in the car. I was so annoyed and grossed out that i didn't go the next year. But, this year we were taking a car and jeffrey's truck, so I wouldn't have to ride the 4 hours ride home with a deer head practically next to me.

Anyways what we did in blanding....jeffrey and I started up my grandpa's four-wheeler. I was so excited to ride it because that is really the only place I get to ride on a four-wheeler. We went all around the farm and took a little walk to the pond. Anyways while at Blanding I cleaned off the front porch with my mom, grandma, and grandpa. We had a big dinner with all the october birthdays, and I watched antique roadshow with grandpa. It was a good time....as always.

Hello Martha Stewart.....

I wrote this long blog already and it didn't work and it earsed so I will try again. I love making different crafty things..scrapbooking, decorations, and quilting. Someday I want to open a craft store and let people bring their different things that they have made. Kindof like quiltedbear, but not that big. I think its a brown girl thing...ok well its a jessica, jamie and jaliz thing. I think we got it from my mom. However, Jerika tries hard, but she struggles and janelle just didn't the gene. Anyways my roommate and I have been wanting to redo our room and paint it for a while. So the other day I decided to rearrange our room, it looked pretty bare so I decided to whip some things up.
I let my roommate use my magnent board that I use to put my pictures on so I needed something. I found this cute fabric at joanne's and whipped it up. It was fast, easy, and cheap. It turned out pretty cute I think.
This I made at work. I made it at my scrapbooking job and love it. My whole apartment is filled with vinyle lettering and I decided that our room needed some too. I made it from a cricute machine it was very easy. I have been trying to get my mom to buy one for a long time...ya I'm still trying...
I also made this at my scrapbook job. It's just wood blocks with scrapbook paper over them. It says DREAM BIG if you couldn't figure it out. Notice the teeth on the books. They are mine that I made at my class. I am very proud of them. Funny story..the first time my roommate came she thought I was weird because of these. Also...notice the acorn nut thing. My roommate found it and wanted me to put it in our room. I also had some peaches and she wanted me to dry one of the pits and hang it in our room. I laughed at her face and told her she was cool....ya she's tongan...enough said!! ha ha just kidding I love my tongan roommate!

Duckie's

Today after church I look out our front door of our apartment and there was three ducks. They were so cute that I had to feed them, because at work we have a duck pond and all the old people always talk about it. There is this little old lady at work that never eats her dinner, she just breaks it up in little pieces and goes and feeds it to the ducks. I always want to go take bread out to the ducks but I am always working. So, I just had to feed those little duckies. They were so cute, I tried to get them to come into my apartment but they wouldn't come. I have been thinking of what I could get our apartment for pets and these little duckies would be so cute to have, but they wouldn't come so I will have to think of something else to get.
