Christmas Wreaths, Baby Showers, Video-making, and Meg's Owl!

My cousin and I have a tradition of making a wreath for Festival of Trees. My wonderful sister in law Angie and niece Meg joined us this year and this is what we have so far. We are doing two this year because we had a lot of supplies.



This one will have a garland, some gifts, and some caroling minions with it too:) More pics to come. And go the the Festival of Festival of Trees if you can! It is so fun!

We are going to make some for ourselves next year:) Come join us! (Just shop 90% after Christmas and these wreaths come out to be about $10 each)

I got to help carry out my cousin's "Skype" baby shower. Here is what my Aunt Chrissy (whom I love dearly) and my 2nd Mom (also much beloved) came up with:) 
 Silver, pink, and white color scheme
 My 2nd Mom's AMAZING taco soup recipe
 Babies breath centerpieces with balloons up top
My cousins Alycia and Kyle Skyped the whole time (they are in Arizona and this is their first baby) and it was so much fun! We opened the presents in front of the camera:)
 Baby quotes all around
Pineapple sherbet with raspberries

With my Box Troll winnings I promised my Heavenly Father 
I would do good and help build up His kingdom. 

So...I began with buying a special computer that makes it possible for me to make something to contribute to the work....Family History videos.  My Man and I made one for the BYU Former Student Officer Society to Honor our Alumni Anne Snow-The Student Body Secretary from 1948. I was deeply touched by her example and influence and can't wait to begin my Grandparent's and Great-Grandparents life stories! (you can see the video here:) Anne Snow


I am also excited to make other videos for fun...here is my first(and rough) stop-motion video. 

I made it to apologize to My Man for my grumpiness on Saturday afternoon. (He LOVES the song the video is done too...so that made it more sentimental...as sentimental as a potato can be...haha...My Man is quick to forgive, which is such a blessing)




And Madsen and I made this one today while he is having a sleepover. He was so proud.



My niece made this entire thing all by herself!!!!!! Isn't she great!!!

Have a great week!
