Extra! Extra!

Did you see this??

Harrison was in the Deseret News last week. He met General Petraeus when he spoke at BYU on Thursday. Pretty cool, eh?

Oregon here we come!! And when I come back: I will be one year older. I will have been able to see my sister go through the temple. I will have seen my family. I will own New Moon. And Provo, please take care of my husband in my absence. See you in a week!! FYI: This is one continuous sentence because our enter button has decided to stop working...

Dear Jack, Please stop growing up...

Just call me Martha

The home improvements I make are very few and far between, but here is what I have been working on lately to spruce up the place:

#1: Kitchen Table Chairs: We had exhausted these chairs until the fabric on them was not-so-pretty, and unlike a normal person who would just buy some oxy-clean and go to town on them, I decided to just get new fabric and re-cover them. BEFORE: (I'm a little embarrassed to show you how gross they were)

AFTER:

(and yes, i realize the fabrics are almost identical, but they look waaaaay better now)

#2: Help from the Cricut: Harrison's mom made the cutest part of this, the "love" sign (which i LOVE...haha i think i'm funny...) and with the help of my Cricut I did the vinyl lettering underneath it. It has been a nice addition to our bedroom.

#3: Thank you HGTV for this one: Again, i did not do the cutest part of this project, my little sister did for Jack for Christmas. But i had left over fabric from Jack's bedding I made before he was born...

So I made this to put in his room...
