Mark's Graduation Trip

Mark Graduated in August of 2013. As a gift his parents took us to Washington, D.C. We had a lot of fun...But I realized that I need way better footwear. My feet were covered in blisters and I was super tired from the two days of non-stop walking. 

It was a trip I will never forget. Thanks, MOM and DAD for the memories!

Day 1 : Boarding the Metro from Alexandria to Washington D.C. 

When we arrived in D.C. we got off the Metro to see the Naval Memorial. I love the picture of Mark with the Sailor. Mark thought it was funny to take my picture next to the leg bone....because I am about the same height as it.

 Day 2: Mark, Anna and I took a hiatus and we went to see the International Spy Museum! It was a blast. When you start you look at and memorize a character that you are going to be that day. As you tour the museum you have to collect clues and make it to the end with them. (My memory was not so good! Lol!)

 By the end of day 2 we were so tired of walking...I think we rested a lot that day. All in all it was a fun trip!

Dad's Surprise Party!

I absolutely love SURPRISES! So, my sister Tarah and I decided to surprise my dad for his 51st Birthday and we decorated the house all nice and neat! It was so much fun! 

I think he enjoyed it!

Camping with the Schmid Family!

One of my fondest memories has always been camping. I used to love when my Poppa-T and Grandma Honey would take us out to DELMO Lake in Montana to camp. This was several weeks out of every summer. I loved when we got to go swimming, climbing rocks, finding flowers and mining for crystals. Poppa-T is the best camper I have ever met, he sets up camp and it is AMAZING! No lie!

This summer we got to go on a little camping trip with a family from church! It was so fun. I only wish that it didnt start raining on that last day. We could have had a little more fun in Berlin Lake. 

I hope we go again this summer! We shall see!

Nicole's Album

My best-friend Nicole asked me to make her an album of our wedding pics...for a Christmas Present in 2011...Well, I just finished it....Only a year and a half later. 

What do you think?

Notebook

I have made several notebooks for several people...but I have never had the opportunity to keep one for myself. Tonight after I sorted out nearly a thousand beads that I accidentally dropped on the floor last February.... I made this cute Church Notebook for myself. I needed a new one to write notes in at church. I haven't had one in awhile....I love to write down quotes....So... here it is!!! Don't be jealous! Kidding, kidding. 

Toilet Paper Mini Album

A long time ago I caught wind of people making albums out of Toilet Paper Rolls......

I then posted on facebook asking all my friends to save their toilet paper rolls for me. I have hundreds of them now and this is the album I created out of them.

If you want to learn how to make one email me and I will be happy to tell you how I did it. If you live near the Youngstown, Ohio area....I would be happy to create a kit for you and teach you to assemble it.

Birthday & Father's Day Cards

It has been awhile since I have completed a project..... ha ha (I have a ton started...just not completed)

Here is the Father's Day Card that I mad for Mark's Dad

I just love it. I believe on a previous post I explained what kind of paper I used and everything. 

I used tie brads from the eyeletoutlet! Love them!

Also here is my Mother-In-Law's Birthday Card

And I just found out that I forgot to take a picture of my sister-in-law's card! Oh, well..... It was a beautiful card that had butterflies stamped on it and ultra fine glitter and the works. So much fun!
