Covered in Feathers

It's that time... Twilight Saga Breaking Dawn Part 1 is in 2 days! 

* I find myself not so much of a DIE HARD fan anymore. Maybe just because Kristen and Rob are 100% the most awkward couple ever on screen and off. Hopefully this movie gets me back into the swing of things :)

Andy, Madison, and I made shirts this year instead of just buying some. 

Needless to say, everyone left about 45 minutes ago and I JUST finished vacuuming up red feathers lol. 

Andy did all of the puffy paint writing
I glued feathers and some stones
and Madison... she was our motivational cheerleader lol Bless your heart Mad ;)

Better be good ;)

We also made super cute head bands.... we have a theme going here lol

Andy rockin her gypsy head band :)

Ryan tagged along, brought some queso and drinks and also added some lights to my christmas tree since some went out. However, I'd like to blame Ryan for some apartment malfunctions tonight: 

* Power went out about 10 times while he was microwaving

* Internet went out while he was playing Mortal Kombat

* My tree was pretty much a mess by the time he finished 

* A newly glued t shirt got stepped on 

I'm sure there's more lol. haha love you Ry, but you were a little jinxed tonight lol. 

Mama Barb brought Max over tonight too with some pizza for dinner! Love having her here. Steve is out of town in Cali for work so we invited her to play with us :).

Love me some good family time! Thanks ladies (and big brotha) for coming over :)

PS: LOVE Renesmee for Breaking Dawn Part 2

This little girl is adorable!!

***More crafts starting tomorrow, but I probably won't be able to post them for a while since they are birthday and Christmas gifts. Is the anticipation killing you already?? ;)

--nighty night!

Homemade Ornament

After work today I went to Michael's for a good hour and a half lol. Craft stores are my Toys R Us!

I picked up a bunch of stuff for some Christmas/Birthday gifts (curse all of you with birthdays during the holiday season-my pockets are draining fast!) and also grabbed stuff to make an ornament for mine and Tyson's first Christmas together as a married couple :).

I got the idea off of Pinterest - of course lol. I loved the idea so much and wanted to start a simple cute tradition with Tys.

It actually wasn't that hard to make thankfully. Just needed:
* Ornament ball
* Ribbon
* Pearls
* Bling
* Letter (added '11 on the bottom for the year)
* Filler / Confetti
* Hot glue
It'll be nice when I just have everything on hand and don't have to purchase EVERYTHING EVERY TIME

The confetti was by far the worst part. I should have picked a heavier filler since this stuff is sticking to everything and I'm pretty sure I've inhaled some of it as well lol.

TIP: buy a bit heavier confetti than the light-weight "Celebrate It Confetti" brand.

And yes, my Christmas Tree is up already and it's only November 14th. Since Tyson isn't home that often I wanted to get it up to make everything feel festive. Although winter is not my favorite time of the year, I do love how cozy the glow of the Christmas tree makes the entire apartment when it comes on every night after work.

My bestie's birthday is Wednesday so I'm working on another craft for her and I hope it turns out well!

St. George with ma guurlll :)

Another really fun weekend gone by way too fast!

Tys flew in Thursday since he didn't have school Friday due to Veteran's Day. Which, might I add a quick little side note; I am so thankful for all those who served and are serving us today. We wouldn't have our freedoms without them, and for them I am forever grateful.

- 11/11/11; hope you made wishes ALL day long :)

*****
Thursday was pretty chill as usual. After I picked Tyson up from the airport, we headed straight to the store to pick up some food. I am completely lacking in the food department around here. Without someone else to feed, I just live off of whatever I can scrounge up until it's gone and then I resort to easy mac or some other college-student-diet. (which I am never ashamed of lol)

Pretty close; I would add hot pockets :)

Once I had some dinner made for Tys, we settled in for a night of LOST! It sounds bad but we watched 23 episodes this weekend!! hahaha we're a little obsessed. At the end of every episode we find ourselves yelling "WHAT??!!! NO WAY!!" Which leads into another episode so we can find out what is going on lol.

(am I the only one who has to fast forward the show intro because the music is too creepy? haha)

I apologize to those in high school that I made fun of for watching this every week; I am now on the wagon :).

*****
Friday, I decided to go to work full day so Tys could spend some time with his family at Josh's semi-finals football game up at the U. Everyone kept me updated with the score and it was an amazing game! So excited to go to the Finals game this coming Friday.

I'll probably end up taking Friday off from work; between the Twilight: Breaking Dawn pt.1 midnight opening and the finals game Friday afternoon, I might as well take the day off because I would only get about 3 hours of sleep anyways - can't wait!!

BTW - I tried the Bleach Pen T-shirt Design Style for our Twilight shirts....

Should look like this.

Turned out like this

Totally didn't work! I had it all written out nicely and when I went back to check on it, it all blurred together - on to plan B!

I had an eye appointment after work to order some new contacts; needless to say I'm pretty sure I'm legally blind and my up-close-and-personal computer time at work 40 hours a week isn't helping lol. My mom doesn't suggest lasik though. Not sure the technology is quite there yet. So, the blindness continues!

I do have pretty dang good hearing :) 

That night, Tys & I decided to head downtown SLC for some grub. We went to Shogun. It is such a quaint little Japanese place tucked away on Main Street. You get to take your shoes off and all :)

Sorry for those we may have just offended 

*****
Saturday, I dropped Tyson off at his sister's hair school to get a hair cut while I made a trip to Orem for my high school cheer girl's baby shower!! Kylie's belly is so cute and it was SO much fun getting to see the cheer girls again.

Kylie is so cute

One of my favorites. Love my flyin' Ky!

It was really so much fun seeing some of the high school girls again. It was funny noticing how mellow we all are compared to how we were in high school - what has growing up done to us?!  ;).

CONGRATULATIONS KY KY!!! You are going to be the cutest little momma!

After the shower, I picked Tyson up and we just headed back to the apartment for some lunch/dinner and more Lost. I really hope all of our questions are answered with this series; my head is gonna explode! lol

*****
Today, (while watching countless episodes of Lost) I whipped out my Mod Podge and decided to make some crafts! They're really simple but it was fun to do while watchin the tube.

Aw presh :) 

Yes, Lost is on lol. "BUCK" on top of the TV

Don't know where to put this one yet

Showing the outlined letters

*****
That's about it for this weekend. So much fun seeing old friends and being with the hubby. Couldn't have asked for more.

Tys flies in Thursday again this week! We're at 30 days and counting now!! CAN NOT WAIT TO BE WITH HIM AGAIN SOON!!

Quick Updates

Second to last visit to Mesa...CHECK!! WOOT WOOT!!

We actually did a whole lotta nothin this weekend and it was so nice! Food, TV, food, football, food, TV... the usual Mesa lifestyle for us lol. 

living our real niiice lifestyle all classy like 

Sunday before my flight we were able to catch another flick...

Aside from being a total Political-Socialist-Robin Hood story, it was pretty good. Crazy concept, which would completely never work. So, if you can block out the HUGE political message, it's a decent movie :)

Thanks for another great mini-vaca Tys! Can't wait to see you Thursday!

Tyson will be home THREE weekends in a row starting Thursday and I can't wait! And he finally has a little mobility in his leg so he won't be gimping so much ;).

*********

I finally worked on/finished another pillow! My other co-worker requested one for her daughter's birthday. (big sports fan I'm guessing). But I thought it turned out pretty cute.

It looks denim but its just dark blue :)

Again, not denim :)

I have a new crafty project to take on now too. Bought some cute letters to mod-podge for the apartment. We'll see how they turn out lol.

And not only do I have that craft, but with Breaking Dawn approaching quickly, Madison, Andy, and I are gonna attempt to make some shirts for the traditional midnight showing!! can't wait!! 

Last year at Eclipse midnight showing (not homemade)

*********

If there is one thing I would question in God's beautiful human creation, it would be the teeth of wisdom. If someone could enlighten me as to the purpose of these horrible things let me know. I had my bottom 2 taken out in high school and it looks like I'm going in for the last 2 soon. One is already growing in and it blows. I have my appointment with the dentist tomorrow for him to give me the go and set up my appointment. ohhh boyyy.

Well, that's about it for now. Sorry the update is pretty bland this time, with the holidays and craziness coming up, I'm sure things will pick back up. :)
