I'm sorry that it has been soooooooooo long since I posted. :-( School has been very crazy this semester and work has been pretty hectic too. On a good note, we sold our hot tub. We were grateful for spring break last week! It was great to have a trip to Fillmore and see some of our family. Pretty soon there will hopefully be TONS of posts full of pictures...I am getting a new camera this week!!!! It should be arriving on Wednesday and I can't stop smiling about it.
I know that Christmas was a long time ago but I thought this would be a fun post. This year for Christmas I made these home decor frames for our sibling exchange. Now I just need to make one of these for our apartment.
One thing that we did for Christmas was give Craig's parents some tickets to the Utah Jazz. We of course thought that it would be a good part of the present if we came along too! We sat up in the section where I think true Jazz fans sit, a few rows from the back in the upper bowl. :-) We had a lot of fun at the game.
Here is currently my favorite Jazz player, D. Will. It was great to have my favorites not injured and actually playing. The Jazz one the game against New Orleans by over 20 points. It was a rediculously awesome game.
Christmas at the Olsen's always includes games. This year we played Taboo. My sister in law offered some beef that they had raised as the prize. I had a lot of fun and won. We came home with beef! We had a steak dinner to celebrate! It was quite gormet in comparison to our salad and roman regulars. Thanks Wendy and Rob!

Craig won it through a radio contest. It was quite odd as neither of us are very lucky.
School started last week and we have both been slammed with things that we have been doing. More posts to fill in from the break later.
This month was my month to be the 'hostess' as part of my stampin' up club. I love our club and the many cute ideas that come out of it! These are the really cute Christmas projects that my demonstrator put together! You should check out Shelly's craft blog at http://mystampstuff.blogspot.com/. It is all SUPER cute!

As part of being hostess I was in charge of treats. These are called cocoa mels, they are a toasted coconut, carmel, chocolate delight! I had a lot of fun at stamps this month!
This weekend we also went to one of our family Christmas parties where we did a cookie exchange. I had doubled the batch and made the cookies pictured above. It was a lot of fun! We brought 24 cookies and left with 20 different cookies!!! I saw a new side of my husband while all of the adults played musical chairs. It was with great thought that the adults played their own game and the kids played their own game. I think that the adults got way more into it than the kids!!!
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!

Craig and I have been married for a little over 2 years. When we aren't working or going to school we like to play 'Lost Cities', cook together, go for walks, watch movies and eat ice cream. We have a pretty low key life. One day we'd like to have a family. For now I have a camera. :-) If you are interested in checking out my photography site please visit www.belindaolsen.com I specialize in newborn, toddler, children and family photography. Other photography available upon request.
