Ha!  I love this one!  I was tagged (by Tyffany) to post the fifth picture in your fifth folder and tag five people.  Love it.  

Here is my picture...it is actually a very sweet picture.  This is Christmas 2005.

Leavenworth

Here are a couple pictures from our trip to Leavenworth for our annual elder retreat.  It was an amazing time of spiritual encouragement and refreshment.  Good stuff.  God is so gracious and giving, Jared and I really were needing some encouragement and this was perfect!   Another bonus was that the Christmas lights were still up on all the businesses and they are so beautiful, so that was an added treat!   

Auction Purse

Well, I just finished a sewing project for an upcoming fundraising auction for the Pichura family adoption fund.  This is for a family from our church that is adopting two brothers from Ethiopia in the near future.  I was asked to make a crafty item and I decided upon a purse with some Amy Butler fabric.  Hope it at least gets bid on...sheesh.  Feeling a little pressure on this one.  Don't know if I picked good fabric or not, I guess we'll see!  

Here is a shirt I made for my niece for her Christmas gift (just finished it b/c I'm sending our gifts back with my mom who is visiting soon).  I really liked this heart shape, I think I like it better than a shirt I made earlier.  Slowly but surly I'm getting better at stitching around objects, it's sort of difficult!   

 

Soup & Snow Chunks

It's winter and as you can see we are eating a lot of hot soup at our house.  The kids are getting pretty crafty with how they manage to get every last drop! 

Going.

Going.

Gone.

Here is a picture out our front door yesterday.  I was some of the most beautiful snow...falling perfect and HUGE.  As we watched the snow falling, Jared said, "there are snow flakes, and then there are snow chunks."  Well said hubby.
