Happy Birthday!

I thought I would take you back in time to March 26, 1981. When this cute girl was born to Dar and Julene. She weighed 8lbs and 2 oz and was 19 1/2 itches long. This new addition would make 3 girls in their family. I can't believe that was ME! 28 years ago. Now look at me all grown up. Well I had a great birthday! I don't have any pictures yet because we went over to Cal's parents house for cake and I forgot the camera. We are celebrating my birthday with my family on Sunday. Plus all the March & April birthdays. Which Cal is one of them. He will be 30 this year. I will try to remember the camera.

Crafts!

Thanks, to my friend Brooke who introduced me and got me addicted to The Wood Connection a year or so ago, I have been traveling down to 7200 S in Salt Lake to buy unfinished wood projects, which are very cute. The only down side is that you have to complete them before you can display them(which I don't mind). So for Christmas I asked for a Scroll Saw, because I thought I could cut out the same cute stuff for cheaper. Which I got. The funny thing is that I haven't used it until yesterday, I still have been driving down to The Wood Connection. It easier to just buy them instead of thinking of my own ideas. I did think of an easy thing to start out with (Easter eggs). So I bought the wood and traced my idea onto the wood. The hardest part was to tie down Cal long enough to teach me how to use my new scroll saw so I would still have fingers after I got done. It wasn't as hard as I thought it was going to be. Cal did tell me that I bought the wrong type of wood, but it still worked. So here is my completed project.
