My Saturday



First off, this is very rare but I left both boys home with Sharrid for an hour and went to a RS activity to make this Christmas glass cube thing. It was the only craft I liked, and luckily for me, the easiest to make. I am not a "crafty" person, not boutique crafty anyway, but I did like this and it was good to get out alone, even for just an hour. Sharrid still doesn't fully understand how my own home has become somewhat of a prison to me. I don't complain too much about it so I have no problem feeling a little sorry for myself. Shar ought to know all about prison life. I intend to make my place as fun as possible. Sharrid was happy to have me go and helped me get out of bed (after the Olympics, even 8 or 9 seems early) I realized as I got ready that I never wear real clothes anymore, except on Monday's. I felt a bit over dressed but all I wore was a pair of jeans and a cap sleeved shirt with a belt and tennis shoes...I'm going insane. When I got home after a couple hours I put my sweats back on...Anyway with the craft you can put little Christmas lights behind it to make it glow. Christmas will be coming faster than ever. Better start saving for that piano ha ha. I don't really care about much else this year except for our Gingerbread house tradition we want to start. This year we'll start it in November so it gets done.


I guess Shar and I thought this was a little amusing...twins. It's kinda cute.


Phoenix is so surprised by my flash ha ha


Just chillin' out.

That enrichment craft is so cute. How much did it cost to make? Our ward's enrichment night is coming up in October and I am gathering ideas to present to the committee. Thanks for your help. Ü

It cost $7. The glass block was like a bathroom glass without a hole in it. They sell ones with a hole if you want to put a light in it at Michael's I think. And then it's just a sticker with the wise man transferred on, and the ribbon. You can put lights behind it to kind of make it glow. The blocks with the holes already in them are like 10-15 bucks I heard so our project was cheaper and they said to just put lights behind it if we wanted. The whole thing was 7.

Oh my gosh, I totally know what you mean! Sometimes enrichment is my only sanctuary, that and going grocery shopping alone.
