My Creations...
So I have always loved using my hands to fix things, put things together, or just create. As I looked back over the past year I just wanted to share a few of my creations.

#1. Last Christmas break I made a quilt out of a selection of my old t-shirts. #2. This past summer my good friend Julie got me started on stitchery.

#3. This Christmas Katie taught us all how to crouchet hats. After I got the hang of it I made 4 before coming back to school.

#4. My new task is learning floral design. I am taking a class this semester and can't wait to make my own designs.

If anyone has any new ideas of what I can learn to do or make after floral design, I would love the suggestions!

I am 21...
A lot of birthday and a lot of cake!
So although I am a couple of weeks late on updating about my birthday I must say that it might be because I wasn't sure the partying was ever going to end! It started on New Years Eve when we celebrated at home while the family was there. My mom made her amazing homemade ice cream and we had my traditional, strawberry cake! I can't remember a year when I haven't had a strawberry cake. (I think it is kind of like my Christmas Stocking, after 21 years I just can seem to give it up!) It was a fun night and I was grateful for the help I received to blow out the candles. I think they were out before I even made my wish! Thanks kids
Birthday #2...
Jenni and I started a tradition the year I moved to Burley to celebrate our birthdays together the night before my birthday. Her birthday is January 15th so we decided they are close enough to combine. This year her mom made some waffles instead of brownies and we had a fun night together before, once again, went our separate ways back to school. Birthday #3...
My third birthday took place on my actual birthday. January 4th! I came back to Provo on the 3rd but Mom had me covered and sent a cake and some ice cream back with Brandon and Lindsay. Eliza and I had Carl and Derick over for dinner and then Brandon and Lindsay joined us for the cake and ice cream. Thanks mom for taking care of my birthday even when I am not at home!

Birthday #4...

So I thought that I had already reach my max on birthday candles but on the Tuesday after my birthday my roommate took me out to dinner. It was so much fun and I was not expecting the surprise party that I found when I got home. My roommates had planned a great little party and it was fun to have friends over once again. And of course we played a few games of catch phrase. My favorite!

Thank you everyone for making my 21st birthday so wonderful! I think I have had enough cake to last me until next year.
