ART!!!! :)

I'm taking an art methods class for my major and I have a few projects to do once a week. I had a few requests to put the projects up online so that other people could see them. I'm not a very good artist yet but it is a fun class and I enjoy it.


This was the shadow box I made for my first project. It was supposed to tell people a little about me.


This is a scratch art project that had to be based on a civilization. I chose Egypt and the symbols at the bottom of the eye spell Egypt.


This is an example of what cave art could've looked like.



These folders are examples of principles and elements of design. They took forever to do but were fun.

These next projects are projects that are specifically designed to be projects that elementary students could do in a short period of time. These were definitely the most fun to do.


This one is a bumblebee and it started out with just a doodle on the page that had to be turned into something. I just thought a really fat bumblebee would be cute.


This was string art. I put paint on a string and put it in a folded piece of paper and moved it around and pulled it out. Mike says it looks like two elephants :)


This was a project to see how wax crayon resists water color paint. Its not terribly exciting but I thought it was pretty.


Ping Pong art!!!

I hope you all enjoyed looking at my art projects so far. Their will be more to come!!

Day 5!

I love my husband because he puts up with me. Its as simple as that :)

Thank you sweetie for putting up with me and not ever getting mad. You're an amazing husband.

Day 4!!

I love my husband because tonight he watched sound of music with me!! He even let me sing the songs as loud as I wanted too!

Mike hadn't ever seen the sound of music before so I wanted him to see it. He was even excited to watch it with me and we cuddled under a blanket and had hot cider :)It was a perfect friday night :)



He is the best husband I could ask for :)

Day Three!

The reason why I love my wonderful husband today is because we fall asleep holding hands every night and wake up holding hands every morning!



It couldn't be more perfect :)

Day 2!!

So, I thought of so many things that I could write today for reasons why I love Mike but I have chosen my second reason....

I love Mike because he makes me laugh all the time! I am never bored when I'm around mike and he is one of the only people who can make me laugh and smile no matter what kind of mood I'm in at the time. I'm so grateful for a husband who makes sure that I am happy everyday.

I love that we do silly things together just to laugh and have fun!



This is picture of us dancing. It was a sunday I was nervous about a test I had the next morning so I was kind of quiet and so he turned on music and grabbed my hand and we just started dancing in the living room. I was laughing and smiling so much that I completely forgot how nervous I was.

28 Reasons Why I Love My Husband :)

So I decided that for the month of February, I am going to list a reason why I love Mike so much every day :)I know this is cheesy so beware :) So this is Day 1....

The first reason that I love him so much is so simple, I love him because he loves me. I will admit that I'm impatient, stubborn and difficult at times but he loves me anyway! I'm so incredibly lucky to be able to say that and know that!



I'm so grateful for such a wonderful husband who loves me unconditionally despite my many flaws and helps me to want to be better everyday.

New Addition to Our Family

We now have a new addition to our family. I have never had a pet so I have been wanting one since mike and I got married. So a week ago we went to pets mart and we got a hampster! He is a little dwarf hampster and is oh so cute!

We decided to name him Buddha. When we got him the sales person told us that he is nocturnal so we should be ready to hear noise at night.

However, Buddha is not normal! He is a very silly hampster. He is awake all day! Then he sleeps at night. (although he does like to take naps....but who doesn't)

Buddha loves corn. He will go through his food and find the corn and leave the rest until he gets hungry. He also likes carrots. He loves to run around in his wheel and play in his paper towel tube. That is where he sleeps as well.




He is just starting to get used to his ball and he seems to like it. We have just started handling him so he doesn't sit still in our hands very long yet. (He seems to be a bit camera shy :)
