February Already??!!!

Hello all! Time is flying by! I can't believe we're already over half way through February. Things have been a little crazy with activity. We have had girls' nights, Superbowl parties, and lots of work.

Several weeks ago we took the ole' car and traded it in on a vehicle I have been drooling over for 2 years. The new Jeep Liberty. I love the new body style and anyone who knows me knows that I'm more of a truck and bigger vehicle kind of person. Anyway, I LOVE it!




I have also found a little time to work on some of my projects. I am currently, FINALLY, working on our honeymoon scrapbook.

I have an oddly diverse list of hobbies. I love to be outdoors, fishing, hiking and hunting type things but a little known fact is that I also love to craft. I scrapbook, carve wood, sew, crochet, and dabble in oil painting. By anyone's standards a strange combination of likes and hobbies. The last several Christmases I have made carved/woodburned gifts for a few people. 3 or 4 years ago I made a snowman (He was just for decoration for us)...



2 Christmases ago I made a frame for my cousin Janelle...



And this last Christmas I made a wall plaque for Mom (I need a better workspace :))...



Last Father's Day I gave Dad a rather "interesting" oil painting (Don't stare too long the colors may blind you)...



I do love my crafts!! Later!

It's more like attempting to oil paint. But thank you both for the compliments!

I have a very talented sister and I don't mind bragging about it. (Btw, sister... I check back here now and then and I'm ready for some more updates to your blog. Just saying.) ;)
