My friend Susan (first row, middle) is having a baby in April!!! We were super excited to see her for Thanksgiving-so a few of us threw her a baby shower! These are just a few of the ladies who showed up in the first few minutes. It was fun to have an 'excuse' to see everyone. I was really sad that I wasn't feeling well and didn't get to go to dinner that night with all of the spouses :-( Hopefully Christmas will be better, when everyone comes back 'home' again!

This is my cute card that I made Susan! This is one of the gifts that I gave Susan. This one was handmade. I love the frame with the boat on the bottom. I love checking out other blogs where I saw the tutorial for the boat!
This Thanksgiving we went to Fillmore where Craig is from. They do a fun tradition of making gingerbread houses. At first I was the only adult making one with my cute nieces and nephews. By the end of the fun I was at the table with all of my sister-in-laws! I had so much fun and look forward to this tradition next year!

Here is a crafty post for you! I needed to take something to a pot luck, so I decided on my famous caramel apples. Here are a few pictures: I did M&M, all chocolate deluxe, butterfinger, apple pie, coconut and symphony. Yummy!

Also this week I worked on invitations for a baby shower. I thought the final project turned out pretty cute! I'm super excited to see my good friend Susan come up from Las Vegas.

Here are a few of my favorites put together!

Sorry it has been a crazy month for us...It feels like we've been going non-stop when we can. Here are some things that we have done recently:

These are some of my interior design projects for my theory class where we talk about the different principles of design. These are my abstract butterflies... One of our assignments was to create a 3D project displaying an emotion. My project was 'glamour'.

This project was to design a 'modern' teapot...Mine was lime green with black flowers.

Our first assignment of the semester was to design a tape dispenser within a certain time period. I did mine like a sculpture of a Russian designer in the Art Deco Era.

One of my favorite nights in the month is Stampin' Up! night. These are some of the projects that we made. I love to decorate for the holidays. One of my favorites is the spider made out of York Peppermint Patties! I think I need to make those for Halloween!!!!!

WARNING: This is a scary picture. My friends in the floral department came to take me to dinner to celebrate my birthday. We love to go shopping together at Ross. One time we were there we saw these horrendously awful moo moos. They bought one for each of us to wear and we wore them to dinner and to see 'Mama Mia'. It was a ton of fun even though we looked REALLY SCARY!

Today we were set apart as gospel doctrine teachers in our ward. Craig is super excited and I am slightly intimidated! Next week is our first lesson. We are in a small ward. Craig and I are also the ward librarians, Craig plays the music in priesthood and I am the ward music chairperson. Gotta love the joys of being in a small ward where people have multiple callings at a time.

School is going great. Craig just did really well on his stats quiz and I am doing ok in my interior design classes. Every single week I have at least one drawing project due.....I am working on getting more in tune with my inner artist. Hopefully I tap into that creativity SOON!
