Virginia Taylor at 6 weeks

My friend Heather's little girl is almost 6 weeks old! I can't believe it. She is so sweet and SO cute. I have gotten to spend some time with her and it just goes by so fast. I just love her so much. She has started to smile a lot! The mommy and daddy are both doing well! I have lots of pictures but these two are my favorite!

The Great Wolf Lodge

WOW!!!!! Let me just say that if there is ever anyone out there who wants to buy me an expensive present, I WOULD LOVE TO GO TO THE GREAT WOLF LODGE. I am not joking nor am I trying to be funny. I sincerely want to go. Ever since they have been playing that catchy commercial 2 years ago, I have been obsessed with the idea of going. It is a bit on the expensive side but it is right up my alley. I love lodge/mountain type places and it has a huge indoor water park.... and I love water parks! Ahhhhhhhhhh. I just want to go. When Cara and I were driving home from Ikea when I was there, I saw it!!!! Anyway, its a bit of a small dream of mine to go. Yes, I dream big. HAHA.

NYE

For New Years, I went to Salisbury, NC! I missed my friends here but I also had so much fun visiting the town of several of my close friends. We went out to eat with a big group of people and then went back to our friend Devon's house where we ate some food and played games! We had champagne at midnight and then we had a dance party!! It was super fun. The next day I went with my friend Cara to a mall in Charlotte! I was so excited to go there and have only been once a long time ago so I don't really remember it. I went shopping and spent some Christmas money while Cara was getting her hair done. And then..... we went to Ikea. I mentioned this before. I guess it wasn't smart going after I had walked around a mall for 3 hours and because it was New Years Day. I would like to go back sometime because I felt like I had a negative experience.... it was just SO overwhelming and WAY too many people. Anyway, I hope everyone else had a great New Years too!!!!!

Christmas

Like always, I did not take many pictures at Christmas either. The only pictures I got are from our traditional poker game. I spent Christmas eve with my sister and then Christmas Day at my dad's with my grandparents. It was a fun time and I ended up staying over there for a couple of days.... with Bella too! They graciously let me bring her and she actually started to behave herself towards the end.

Popsicle and I. I started calling him Popsicle since his name is Pops. I have no idea why I have never thought of calling him this before, especially when I was little. I think it is cute.

My stepsister-in-law, Kristi and Sharon!

Natalie won the poker game and I got second place! Haha.... who would have thought?

Aunt Natalie and her neice

On Christmas eve, my sis and my pup had a little photo shoot:

I have about 10 more but these are my favOrite. I think they are cute!

I went to eat some Chili at my friend Taylor's house before Christmas. Well, it was RIGHT after we had all that rain for like a week straight. I pulled up to his house and the usual line of cars wasn't there so I pulled right up front. Well, there was no one parked there for a reason. The ground was a bunch of mud and sure enough, my car got stuck. And because I am not a very good driver and didn't know how to handle it, Cara and Taylor had to get my car out of the mess!

Some of the damage I did to their yard..... oops! I feel really bad.

Notice Taylor pushing it! It turned out not to take too long.... maybe 10 minutes? But I definitely made a mess in their yard. And my tires had mud on them for days! My little car has never been in a situation like that before!

More frames!

Just wanted to show some more of the frames that I did. I think these turned out better than the first ones I took pictures of. The grass one is what I made for my dad since he loves golf... I thought it turned out cute! I have had several offers from people who were interested in buying them.... now that I am done with Christmas presents then if you are still interested then I would be happy to make some. I don't know how much I will charge yet. I think they are easy but they can end up taking a lot of time! I don't really think I will be making many more for people in my life because I gave so many out during Christmas. It's a fun little hobby though and I am very gracious for the compliments that I have received thus far!
