Craft Fair

Today I went to one of the local elementary schools because they were having a craft fair, it is my first time being to one. I am very excited for the items that I got and the pumpkins are already being used on the mantle. I love snowmen and so I was excited to get more of them to decorate with. I am so thankful for all of the work that I have had recently and that I am now able to buy things that I want instead of only being able to get what I need.

What a cute snowman family!

My 2 new snowmen ornaments.

Angel

Christmas trees that need to be looked at from above in order to get the full effect. I think I will try to make some of these on my own, but add more layers so that it will have a fuller look.

Christmas in November

Today was our Relief Society's Christmas in November. There were many fun crafts to make but I only chose to do 3 and only completed one of them. Theses are my felt flowers that I got cut out but not sewed together. The only flower that got finished, Mom sewed for me and I love it. I hope to get Mom to finish the other two for me as well because I am just not a sewer. I have decided that I am going to make a wreath to put my flowers on. It will either be a Christmas or a Spring wreath, I have not yet decided.

I also partially made a Christmas tree. I have to add two more rows to the bottom once I get some more cardboard rolls to use. I will then add ribbon down the middle and then add a button to the ribbon on each roll. There will be loop at the top so that I can hang it on the wall.

The last craft that I made was my pasta angle. The angle is completely made of pasta except for the head. I think that the angle turned out absolutely cute and I look forward to being able to hang it on the Christmas tree.

And what do I get for all of my hard work...a very painful blister.

Book Order

I am a very avid reader. Barnes & Noble is offering a free 2 month membership trial so I have decided to give it a try. And because I am a member I get discount prices on books and free shipping, I also found a coupon that gave me 40% off most of the books I ordered. This week my 9 books arrived in the mail!!!! I have already read 5 of the books but I enjoyed them so much that I wanted to own them and be able to reread them at my leisure. Plus I have been waiting on the library to read the second book in both the Firelight and Godmother series and decided to stop waiting and to get them for myself. I kind of have this problem where I can't buy 1 book in a series without having the other books also, so of course I had to buy the first books in those series also, it's a good thing I enjoyed them. In addition to the books I ordered online I bought 2 books at Goodwill and a book at Sams Club. So my goal is to finish the 4 books I have checked out from the library, then to read the 3 books my friend Mary let me barrow, and then to get started on my newly owned books. I have a lot of reading to do!
