My New Hobby

I have a new hobby. I love the store The Wood Connection. I wander around here for hours, look at all the project possibilities, finally pick 1, 2, or 3 projects to take home. The fun part is painting all the fresh wood, choosing the scrapbook paper and the gem stones, adding glitter and dreaming up the whole idea.

Then I start calling for Rick to come help! Help me sand the edges, find his saw to shorten this piece, get out his wire cutters to twirl this wire around here, find the staple gun to staple through this wood piece. Ah, Rick loves my new hobby!

A few of my projects this month are as pictured:

To use for baby showers. No announcement here.

I gave my mom this pot for mother's day with Wheat Grass potted inside. This required careful lining of the pot with plastic (more Engineering from Rick). But it turned out great!

Spring Break (a month ago!)

I'm finally finding time to post a few pictures of my Spring Break. I was lucky to accompany Rick to Las Vegas. I hung out at the pool while he worked in the day, then we went out at night.

One day we went to the Gold and Silver Pawn Shop, as seen on TV. This is one of Rick's most favorite shows on the History Channel- Pawn Stars. I know the picture is very blurry, but it's my claim to fame- this is actually Chum Lee himself! Pretty crazy how people line up to get in here. It's actually quite small and anti-climatic. I think they hide all the cool stuff in the back!

Towards the end of our trip, we met some friends in St. George. Rick had fun golfing at Sky Mountain- beautiful scenery. And the wives rode along in the cart. I could get used to this warm weather for sure!
