Hey everyone been holding off blogging cuz there really hasn't been anything that's happened since I last blogged. I live a very uneventful life. I finished painting my second nativity set, a smaller one then those in the pics that I posted. I've now started painting a ceramic horse it's going to be pretty, I should be done painting it tomorrow and I'll have pics of it up soon. Other then that it's been pretty boring uneventful. It snowed today I'm excited about that!

I finally finished

I finally finished this nativity set that I've been painting

Yeah it's been awhile since I updated I have been avoiding it, it has been pretty boring around here. To pass the time I've sewing on some Christmas stockings for my aunt Susie's boutique. here's what they're going to look like each stocking is going to look different

Road trip, a few bumps in the road :0)

So I'm back from my road trip and there where a few bumps in the road here they all are in pictures......
We got into camp around 1 am so we left the car lights on the campsite so we could see to put up our tent.........the next morning the cars battery was dead so we had to push it out for someone to jump us.... not easy thing to do when your on a slant.......so we finally got someone to jump our car by then we were very hungry we started to get breakfast ready only to have our BRAN NEW OUT OF THE BOX!! cooking stove not work......

luckily there was a town nearby and we drove out there to get a new stove....got back to camp and got coals burning in our new stove, started to cook the eggs only to realize that we forgot a spatula............so we had to use a fork..... scrambled was the order of the day
Our tiny blue tent was well...... tiny and when it came to getting dressed or moving around it was a struggle so we went and bought a bigger tent......that evening it started raining and it kept raining into the next day, we woke up to our bran new tent leaking....... we had to go to the store to get some tent sealer stuff

We had a few rough moments but in the end its something to look back on and laugh

Getting sick

Well Nick is starting to get sick, he has a really bad cough and he woke up with the chills this morning :0( I went to the store and got a lot of medicine and juices hopefully he will pull through for our road trip

I was just thinking about how I needed to start writing in my journal, it has always been challenging for me to do......but then as I go back and review my blog I realize that blogging is similar to keeping a journal and this is the best I have ever done. I had to take a moment and pat myself on the back :0)

It is almost our 1st year anniversary so I wanted to post some of the pictures that were taken on that amazing day

Road trip

So Me and Nick have planned a road trip for our 1 year anniversary, I am really excited. We are going to drive up to Washington on the night of the 2nd of July, after Nick gets off of work. Go visit Nick's family and from there northern California coast and a few days camping in the Redwoods. Whahooo! This will be mine and Nicks first camping trip together

The hair of many colors

Funny story, Nick decided a few weeks ago that he wanted to dye his hair black, so he did......... but he didn't realize that store bought black hair dye always has blue put into it. So his hair was a dark blue, he has to go to work in a couple days and a blue haired deputy is not going be good :) (I didn't get a picture), called my mom for help and the poor kid had to get his hair bleached............................ now he had orange hair........Nick didn't want to go to work with orange hair either so he bought some mahogany brown hair color..... he didn't realize that mahogany is a deep red.......forgot to take a picture of it as red :(. Then this time he let me choose the hair color and finally we got a brown, though still a little red was visible......his poor scalp was so tender
