Can you tell which one is my cute sister??
My nephew Bradley is now 16!!
We had a family celebration yesterday and I took some photos- everyone was a bit grumpy because I had to shoot outside and it was cold. I am thrilled with how these turned out and am excited to share.

Treats: Gratitude Day 11
What can I say, I have a sweet tooth and yummy treats bring me joy. I love treats and I love making them and of course sharing them with others. My son and I went to a local bakery together and enjoyed a moment of indulgence together and spent time connecting while enjoying yummy treats.
Salt Lake farmers market, another Utah gem!
I have been wanting so much to share favorite places here in Utah and today is my highlight from the downtown Salt Lake City Farmers Market. I took Jacob, my niece Chloe, and my friend Kara to the market on Saturday. I love the energy, colors, diversity, food, art, well just about everything that is to be found at the market. Well see for yourself...

Obsessed with circles
I am loving using circles in all my current porjects, can't seem to stop as a matter of fact. I like them whole, cut in half, layered, glittered, colored, even sticking out. Loving circles-some of my obsession came from this awesome scrapbooker, Vivian Masket and her top ten post here. Love these layouts!
Welcome 2011
and I am kind of relieved, actually really relieved. All went well here at home. Lots of family parties, movie nights, games, and eating. (all mostly undocumented due to broken camera sent in for second time)
We did have one mishap however- Jacob fell while backpedaling at his tennis lesson and caught himself with his left hand.
You are right- both bones in his forearm are broken.
After spending 5 + hours at Primary Children's Hospital Jacob had a molded splint to hold his newly set bones in place. Yet another traumatic mothering experience, but boy was I glad we live close to such an awesome facility as PCH. He of course got the royal treatment from me and all his relatives. His arm is now cast and he is doing much much better.
My favorite holiday project I made was a book wreath (managed to get a decent shot using sis's camera)
It has not been destroyed by my boys yet. I might try to make a large one for the front door. Hmm.
As for my favorite gift I made, it was a tea cup lamp inspired by this post. Turned out adorable!!
Making 2011 calendars as a New Year gift for school teachers using this from Celeste.
As for other 2011 projects, I really really want to make a grouping of mirrors like these, to put above my living room couch and I have three mirrors collected so far. Speaking of projects
My one word for the year is
Yes I start so many things and end up not finishing half of them, and that is ok for the most part. For this I want to finish projects before I start new ones. Wish me the stamina I will need to see through a project from start to finish.
Oh and catch me chatting with the Paper Life girls tomorrow
Have a great week!!
