Utah

We went to Utah over President's day weekend. We went to a U of U gymnastics meet, went ice-skating at the Olympic oval, Bart went to U of U basketball game with his brothers and we hung out with family the whole time. It was really alot of fun. I had a blast and I'm so grateful for the awesome family I married into. Here are some fun pictures from the trip.Bart and the kids with his brother Brian who unfortunately couldn't skate due to his broken foot.

The project I almost gave up on

Don't worry folks... this is not turning into a craft blog. I am far too uncrafty for that. I would however like to share with you my latest vinyl project. I love this quote by Henry Ford and I often say it to my kids when they are at the piano telling, crying, whining or screaming at me that they just can't do it! And I tell them, you're right! You will never be able to do it if you think you can't.

So I decided to make this tile and put it up on the piano for them. As you can tell from the unevenness of the lettering I am obviously no expert at this! I am just figuring it out as I go along. Well, after much wasted vinyl and many fonts later I finally did it.

The ironic thing is, is that I had just about convinced myself that I didn't know how make this tile. I seriously almost gave up. But I thought how could I tell my kids they can do anything they put their minds to but turn around and give up on something I wanted to accomplish.

Now, this tile has an added meaning for me too that I will take to heart.
