Blair Biggest Loser Logo

Dexton wanted a biggest loser t-shirt so I made a new logo to put on our shirts. If you would like you can also use it. We have kind of made us a team as a family. If you would like to do also pick a color and claim it via comment.
We have Light Blue.

OK so Dex is down 4! AHA! What the heck! He was so excited. I hope your first week went well. Not as well as Dexton's, but well. I'm down 1 and Doug is also down 1.

Fall Family Photographs 2008

I re-upholstered my couch pillows again for the 4th time in 9 years!
When the decor changes the couch changes also.

One day I was watching ASK This Old House, my fav' and they were adding pendant lights to an existing kitchen because of poor lighting. We were having the same problem so I decided to put some above my island in my kitchen.


My friend just happened to pay me via Lowe's gift card for work that I did for her. The card would pretty much cover it. I was all set. The only problem with this project was I didn't have access above my kitchen so I cut a hole in the ceiling of the garage

and found about 20 in. of blown insulation that I needed to dig through to find

beams to walk on and where I needed to anchor my lights. After digging for a while I decided to cut a small hole where the lights were to go and I pushed the handles of my croquet mallets through the ceiling up into the insulation so I could locate them faster. It worked! I also had photos that I took during construction in case of projects like this.





The coolest part is that I found two huge spaces 6-7ft tall x 9-10ft wide x 24ft long that I could use for storage.SWEET!


Now I need to find out how to add one of those hide away stair things that you pull down.

Oh Christmas Tree, oh Christmas Tree . . .

I thought that Anna's tree was fun to see so I wanted to share mine also. I would like to see others. Post a pic of your tree.

Ward Christmas Party

I was asked to come up with the scenery for the Ward Christmas party. It was Bethleham City. The families brought blankets so they could sit on the floor and dressed for that time period. We had a dinner and then we watched the Christmas Nativity Program. The lights were dim the entire time. It was the perfect setting to feel the spirit and remember the birth of our Savior. I want to thank all the sisters who came and helped me paint and Jamie for arranging them to come. Thank you!
