This summer when we were in California for Bri’s wedding, Terri and I fumble the hand off of my small pocket camera and it took a tumble on the railroad tracks at the train museum.  Which it apparently didn’t like because now it just complains when you turn it one.  I’m going to have to buy a new one soon. WHAT, you say, has this got to do with the Women’s Fitness Celebration????  Well, only that I didn’t want to take my big camera on the walk so we don’t have any pictures of us at the walk.  I did spend about an hour looking through all the bazillion of pictures that the Idaho Statesman took to see if I could find us but I didn’t find a single one. Therefore, I decided to just make my own.  Here it is, the 4 of us walking in the Women’s Fitness Celebration.    This has become a tradition for us each year, but this year we had some “wimp outs”.  {Shawna, Sharlene, Cheryl, you know who you are……} I drove out to the mall to meet up with Salena and Jessie.  We took the shuttle in to t

I”m having some fun with my Silhouette machine.  Made a new key rack to hang by the door for the car keys.  It’s sooooo fun.  Just wish I had more time to do things with it.   Love you all ~~ Mitzi

YUMMMMMMMMMMMMM my favorite!!!!! We had a ladies craft night at Salena’s last Wednesday night.  There was Jessie, Shawna, Sharlene, Cheryl, Marcie, a friend of Salena’s, Salena and myself {of course} were all there to start getting into the holiday season.  We made these darling “Count down to Candy” advent blocks.  It was a very fun evening. Here are some pictures of mine. I deviated a little from some of the others.  I decided to antique my block with Charcoal instead of brown.  Just because Halloween is kind of dark.  Also, I felt that the white numbers weren’t standing our enough, so I outlined them with the Sharpie {My favorite pen}. {Pictures are kind of dark, I need to work on my indoor camera skills.  I have light issues}   Love you all ~~ Mitzi

I completed my first project with my Silhouette…….  I had a boring glass jar that I was using for a cookie jar, so I thought I would dress it a little……… {Sorry about the glare from the flash} Those of you who are fans of How Does She? will recognize my spin off of one of there ides.  I just love all of the great ideas…… OHHHH, what to do next!?!  So many choices.  Keep checking back for more updates. :) Love you all ~~ Mitzi

IT’S HERE…………… You should have seen me looking out the window every 5 minutes watching for the UPS man. {I missed him yesterday that’s how I knew it was coming.} Silly me, I didn’t order any colored vinyl. I got the white and the two heat transfer rolls that came with it but no other rolls. Does anyone know if you can buy the rolls local? I did get is setup and but a some letters and a flower out of card stock. OH BOY!!!!!! I’m just so excite I don’t know what to do first. :P Love you all ~~ Mitzi

Here is the final vinyl project that I’ve been working on.  I took the frameless picture idea for How Does She website and the “Family is:” wall display, merged the two ideas into one of my own. I’m really excited about it because I can easily change out the pictures and they can be pictures of all sizes (even though I have all 4x’s up now).  The pictures are held on by magnets that I made for Fall, which means I can change them out for different season.  I can use it for displaying Christmas cards over the holiday.  I think it turned out really cute.  I have it in the hallway so it was hard to take the pictures, but it you click on the picture you will see a larger version.   It was fun to make and I LOVE IT!!!!

The Balloon rally was this weekend.  I woke up at about 6:40 and decide to run over to Cresent Rim to take pictures.  I was sure that I was late enough that I wouldn’t be able to find a parking place. To my surprise I was ahead of the crowd.  I found an easy place to park and a short walk to the rim.  This was the jets that did the fly by to start the Rally. Here are they are starting to take off.   And they’re off…. View of the whole field starting to go. Caught this picture from my car when I was getting in it to leave. I decided to keep my camera turned on and out on the passenger set as I drove home.  It paid off.  This balloon was sitting in the middle of rode when I got to the light at Protest Hill and Boise Ave. This one was by the old fire station on the corner of Boise Ave and Broadway. I got a lot more pictures, so to view them all, go to my Share site to view them.   Click here to go to Mitz Picz Love you all ~~ Mitzi
