Cabins and Cousins

By -
This past weekend, I was invited to tag along with my cousins and aunt to a weekend at the cabin. (thanks guys! because according to grandma I have no life)
What was even better about this weekend was that my cousin Erin was back from Cambodia for a few weeks. It has been 2 years since I've seen her and I just heart her lots. This cabin is the place where Kelly and Kyle spend their summer weekends, so it was great that we could all be together up at Lake Hickory.
We had many heart felt laughs, catching fish and sun rays, and only a minor temper tantrum (I want to play Yahtzee and NO ONE will play with me!!!!!! kyle)
We ate like Rock Stars, with lots of fresh homemade meals! YUM!
Tonight we will all join up once again for a Twins game, Dome Dog anyone?
Target Practice:
Kyle scores points for accuracy,
But Kelly wins for style and coolness.
Kyle caught the big one, BIG TIME!
Erin and Kyle cleaning the slabs
Dinner in the sunshine!
Aunt Lori, never without her camera
Or her baby Coach...

Sisters on a boat

Beautiful weekend...

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like.

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
