Neighborly Christmas Gifts;-)

Gift ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Copper Acorn

Hello my fabulous friends! My friend Alexis just opened up her Etsy Shop.

She makes all kinds of crafty things including scarves, jewelry, and other accessories. So if you're looking for you, a friend, or a great unique gift stop by!

If you're not familiar with Etsy, it's basically like ebay but only for people who make things, or have really unique vintage things to sell. And you can set up an account for free and buy things through paypal just like you would on ebay.

Happy shopping!

Christmas Cards

I just cut some slits in the side of the card so that the receivers could take them out and keep the picture!

Reminiscing...

I got my college/intern scrapbook out from the storage unit, and I thought it'd be fun to take a trip down memory lane;-)

A Fall Walk Down 23rd AVE

Yesterday was my lovely sister-in-law's birthday. So we took a walk. It was great. Perfect weather.

Also, It was a braid kind of day!

hummm

What to say what to say. I know, I know I post way more pictures than actual words...haha. This month has just been so crazy. It's weird not working. So many places I've applied and they either say that they're still reviewing the apps, or I leave messages and they never call back. . .

Too bad they're is no other church admin job needed. I love doing that. Oh well. There is always so many applicants filling out for the same job. I really need one ASAP because as it happens I have two trips to save for.

In August my sister is getting married in Hawaii. Which is mostly paid for, so that's good! It will be so much fun. I am making the jewelry, invitations, and probably much more. In September we are going with Shane's family to So Cal. Disneyland, Knott's Berry Farm, Sea World, Universal Studios, etc. Fun!

I have alot to be grateful for. My wonderful family. This great church. Me being able to do keys on Easter with no major problems. Being able to see more family at the coast. And freinds from Hermiston coming to visit: I love you Megan and Darcie!

Last night I was watching "My Strange Addiction" on TLC. So crazy. People who eat toilet paper, laundry soap, comet, glass, frantically pull out their hair, pick scabs. So crazy and gross.

Anyway, I hope you are having a great Tuesday.

Make a Wish

Oh how I wish for alot right now. A job. An apartment. The sun. Etc. But sheesh, I have so much to be thankful for. A loving husband and family/famlies. The sun-lately. Food. Clothes. Shelter. Two vacations for the year. Disneyland and Hawaii;-) Being in PDX. Oh I have alot of wonderful things! And friends, how could I forget that!

Ripley's Believe it or Not!

So we took a trip this weekend. We went to Pacific City and Shane spoke at his grandparents church. He did such a great job. Also, we checked out the Ripley's Believe it or Not museum. It was pretty cool. Here's a girl made of Good & Plenty candies;-)

Past Few Days

Here is some pictures from the last few days. This is an orchid I got, thanks to Paula Guffy at church. It's pretty. Yeah, I am a sucker for flowers.
Even though they are more of a nuisance, I did miss dandelions while in Hermiston.
I thought these twisted tree branches were cool, kinda gnarly looking!
I thought this was rather erie.
Monkey tree. Look out.
And my wonderful husband, graciously carrying the groceries for dessert, home from the store. Later on, the bag broke;-(
I thought these flowers were pretty, and of course, I love the orton-ish effect.
And Ya Hala, was great, as usual!!! And thanks to the lovely Kim Simmons, we were blessed with wonderful company. You are welcome here anytime.
