Graduation!

So, I'm Graduating! I will be a graduate from Brigham Young University! I am so excited, and a little scared to finally be done with college! Let me just say that there have been times when I doubted this day would come, but in two days I will be walking, and I can't wait! It's weird that now I'll have to start my life as an "adult"! Up until this point I have been dreading that, but now that it's come I actually feel okay about it and even a little excited. So for the sake of being narcissistic, Congrats to me! :)

Bookbinding Revisited

So here are some more of the books that I made. I'm really excited about this one, it's made of calf hide, and still has the fur, It was pretty tricky getting the fur to lie flat, but it turned out pretty neat. I gave it to my wonderful father for Christmas so he can write up all the adventures of his life. It's very manly! This second image is the back, I loved the beautiful creme and brown colors.


I also rebound my brother Scott's scriptures, they turned out pretty nice, and it was a lot of fun. I found this neat tool where I can heat up the leather and almost burning it, so I wrote his name on it. His friends called them his Jesus scriptures, they were jealous!

And this is Craig's new Titanic notebook, so he can write up all the cool things he reads about it!

Anyway, I was really excited about working with leather, and loved this distressed natural look.

Happy Easter Cadbury Bunny Style!

So this Easter was great! I got to watch conference and listen to the wonderful prophets voice, and eat a delicious meal with Shara and Craig! Yum, it was good! Then Craig gets a craving for Cadbury Eggs and is reminded of this childhood commercial.



Craig laughed so hard at the Lion that I couldn't even hear the cat! That made it all the funnier, I think we all laughed for 20 minutes straight! I'm glad that I have my family here and we can laugh at silly commercials! I love my family, they're hilarious!

PS. I showed it to some friends later, and they thought I was crazy, apparently it's not that funny! I guess I'm just easy to please. If that's the case, I'm okay with that! :)
