January 2013–Happy New Year!!

My niece Stacie, her husband Pat, and 3 kids (Baily, Bryce, & Madisyn) were in California for a couple of weeks during the holidays.  It was wonderful to see them again.  We went to the park with the kids and then out to lunch.

Two new craft projects

This is a cigar box that I bought for $1.50 and turned it into a jewelry box for my granddaughter.  I used supplies that I already had in my craft room and I think it turned out really cute and it was super cheap to make!  I gave it to Lizzy last weekend and she promptly filled it up with her stuff.

I made these for the kids for Easter.  There are candy bars inside those cute bunnies!

A Very Small Project

one more thing off the “To Do” list

This cabinet used to hold an old chunky TV and VCR player.   We have it in our guest room and wanted more space for our guests to put their clothes, because this serves at the dresser.

It had a shelf hanging from the top for the VCR, which we removed.  Hank built shelves and cut a backing.  It turned out really good and we used wood, stain, and sealer that we already had in the garage.

Charlie’s Birthday Party

The party was at “Pump It Up” in Morgan Hill.  It has private indoor arenas filled with gigantic inflatable slides, bounce houses, and obstacle courses.  There were more than 20 kids and adults (yes the adults got into it too) having a blast.  The kids ran around for almost 1 1/2 hours and they really got a workout.  After working up an appetite, they had cake (before dinner of course).  You can see by Charlie’s face… it’s red and sweaty.  There was an after party back at the house with great food an of course lots of presents for Charlie.
