Chocolate.....

Don't think that by asking for a chocolate wreath you'll stump us.....

Funnies from the Festival of Trees...

We went to the Festival of Trees last night and saw just about a bazillion trees, but there were a couple that stood out in particular.  First of all we encountered a tree titled "Barbie's Winter Ball"  It had tons of Barbies decked out in their finest attire hopping in their 1 horse open sleighs and heading out to the open air disco.  I didn't get a pic of it, but apparently one of the Barbies had a hard time finding a Ken so she brought Aladdin instead.  Upon arriving at the ball it appears that a few couples hit the spiked punch one time too many because they passed out on the dance floor.  If you look closely you can see the culprits spiking another batch at the buffet table while some of the other lush Kens and Barbies wait to partake and tattle tale Barbie pointing them out to the rest of the group.

We also ran into an old friend at the festival.....or at least an effigy of an old friend.  Kind of reminded me of this guy.  

*editors note....someone has maliciously questioned my character and asked if I staged the Barbie picture.  Clearly they have not been to the Festival of Trees or they would know that there are nazi relief society ladies guarding the trees so I would not have the opportunity to create such a scene had I wanted to.  However to clear my name I will emphatically say, I did not.  Cross my heart and hope to die, that's exactly how it was when we came upon it.

No clever title...just more wreaths....and a joke....

Here are the two latest creations....

And for the joke, one of our Primary girls told us this last week and I still can't stop laughing about it (sorry if you already read this on fb):

Tasi: Why did the man cross the road?

Me: I don't know, why?

Tasi: To get the Chinese newspaper.

Me: Um....ok.

Tasi: You don't get it do you?

Me: Nope I don't.

Tasi: Me either, I get the Daily Herald

Admit it....you laughed.

Here we go again.....

Two more that we did for people at Natalie's work.....

And yet another

I'm just going to post these as they are done so you'll be seeing quite a few posts in the near future.

New hobby....

Hello Everyone!

I know...long time no blog.  I don't really have an excuse except that I just haven't sat down to blog about anything.  However, this weekend i made a trip to the Hobby Lobby (which coincidentally is like my favorite place ever now) and got myself addicted to a new hobby.  What is this hobby you ask?  Well at the risk of this getting picked up on the RS radar, Natalie and I have been crafty and started making wreaths.  It all came about because we found these awesome peacock feathers and peacock ribbon, and decided that it would be fun to make a wreath for her sister (her last name is Peacock) and the rest is history.  We've got quite a few people asking for them now!  So, that being said here is a small sampling of what we've done.  I do have to throw a disclaimer out there if anyone does want one though.  Unfortunately these are pretty much one of a kind deals because we didn't think we would be making more than one of each, but if there is something you like we can try to come as close to it as possible. If you have something in mind let me know and we'll turn on the creative juices and make whatever you want!
