Logan's Halloween Costume

Since I posted Taylor's Halloween costume and not Logan's I thought I better do his too.
He was the Kool Aid man. It was kind of fun to make and he really liked it. The papers are from Cool Summer kit designed by Simply Sweet Designs by Kim

Taylor Halloween

Taylor loved to get her costume ready for halloween. She knitted the hat, after learning to knit. She also dyed the pants to match the correct color.

Holidays in Hand Class

I love Jessica Sprague and her amazing classes. Especially the free ones! I have taken up her offer for a new class - Holidays in Hand.

This new class will hopefully put things in perspective for me and make the holiday more of a holiday and less like a shopping trip.

Day one of the class is to refocus on the holiday values.

That is a toughie. What are my values? I have them honest. I just have never written them down anywhere.

My family is the most important thing. I think that my set of values revolve around them.

* I want traditions - more traditions. I just hope that my kids are not too old to start some.

* I value my family. My goal is to make more time for us. Not just my kids and I but my only sister and her family as well as my cousins and aunts and uncles. I want to get to know them.

* Spiritual values - Do I have them? I am not sure. I believe in something. What I don't know. I am sure that there is a God but I don't believe that the God in charge of our world would allow some of the crap going on to occur. I guess my goal is to find God or something. I just know that that would make our family stronger.

* Thanks. I believe that we should be thankful for what we have. We might not have a brand new suv but we have a functional, and working van that serves our needs. There are many out there that do not even have that. We might not have money for fancy trips but we can enjoy a trip to the movies just as much.

My goals are to be a better person. One who can be loved and counted on. One who can be thankful for all that I have. One whose family is close and enjoys each other.

I sure hope this is what I am suppose to be doing.

what the heck

I just noticed now - a few months too late- that the date on the side is not updating. I am going to have to get a new blog design I guess.

Football

Logan is all done football. They had an amazing season. Logan was the quarterback and won the offensive player of the season.

Day 6 of my Jessica Sprague class

Today I used a photo of my Mom, Uncles Adam and Bart and My Grampa Peter. This was taken when Mom was about 9 or 10 I think. I used a couple of textures and brushes. The photo is already very worn so this helps disguise those problems.

signatures

So I made a new signature today. Not sure if I like it or not. It is kind of cute.
