new years eve
Road trip to roch then the cities for me on new years. I spent one day with Christy and then met the girls in the cities for dinner at Twin City Grill. It was fun to catch up with old friends! Good laughs with good friends...a good way to begin the new year!
IT'S A GIRL!!!
We had our ultrasound right after Christmas. It was so exciting to see the baby moving around. She was very active, and we thought she has the cutest shaped head. The tech and the dr said everything looked normal. She has 2 lesgs and 2 arms, and 4 heart chambers...whew!

my homemade marshmallows
I decided to make this fairly easy recipe for homemade marshmallows. They turned out very yummy. One regular batch and one peppermint...to make peppermint mochas! It was fun and let me break in my early Christmas present from luke (a kitchenaid mixer)! I think we will make it a Christmas tradition!

recent baby purchases
I have been spending a little of my craft money on these cute homemade baby items. Nothing really important things like bottles, strollers, or diaper genies, but too cute to pass up all the same!
my mossy wreath
Look at my festive front door! Just kidding! Martha Stewart motivated me to make this cute Christmas moss wreath. I thought if was a great idea since the moss was free right in my front yard. The wreath was cute for about a day or so until the moss dried up a bit and shrunk down leaving ugly bare spots. By then the snow had covered the ground so I could not harvest any more moss. So I will not post a picture of my sad looking Christmas wreath. Here is a pic of what Martha intended it to look like.

festival of trees
We just finished with our first craft fair. There were about 150 vendors. It was a lot of work but I think worthwhile. We perfected our sales technique, when we noticed that when you greeted lookers with a hello, most would quickly move on. Most preferred to look in silence..proof that we were in Northern MN! We sold burpies, hats, and hair stuff. I am excited to put the glue gun away for a while though!
