Craft and a Cutie

Things have begun to slow down here in AZ just in time for them to speed up again. Branden has finals in only 2 weeks, then Thanksgiving trip to Vegas and then before we know it Christmas will be here. I will say that I am very excited to decorate our house for Christmas this year, because right before we moved down I was crafting up a storm and continuing my craftiness down here. - more on that in a minute but first take a look at my cutie -

 We spend our days playing outside on the playground, at the mall play place, reading books, taking naps, making messes, helping in the kitchen, drinking apple juice, and sharing lots of precious giggles.

 Peri loves the play place at the mall, it was hard for her to stay still long enough for a picture

 Peri had 2 Halloween costumes. I was so set on her being a minion from Despicable Me, and it would have worked great if she'd just left her hat on, and her boots had been black. We had plans to take her trick or treating at the swap meet and then to our ward party but I got the flu so we didn't end up doing anything. Luckily she didn't know what she was missing out on, besides the fact we only had 3 trick or treaters come to our door anyway.

Her other costume was a little lamb and she looked ADORABLE. It was fun even though we didn't do much.

Now, as promised a craft.... well a few - krumpets got nothing on me

Pilgrims

Scarecrow

Turkey

Indian and a Give Thanks sign (yes I realize the A is backwards in this picture, don't worry I fixed it)

I love that I can make my own holiday decorations - thanks to my creativity and wood connection, oh how I miss the wood connection.
