Mmmmmm...

Last week Gulianna and I went to Millhouse in Rexburg, okay it's really called Millhollow but we call it Millhouse! They have the best tart frozen yogurt! They make different kinds on different days, and they are all good but the Raspberry Tart is the best! They also make sandwiches too! Gulianna loved every bit of it, she was kind of mad when it was all gone, she wanted more! And it was gone just like that!

This past week...

I wanted to post some new pictures, but I couldn't find my USB cable, but I finally found it yesterday! It was plugged into my computer the whole time! So the only day I didn't bring my camera, and I find my cable...figures! Well on St. Patrick's Day, we ended up not making cupcakes, Claudia only had 2 eggs and we needed 3! Here is some pictures of Gulianna from Monday eating a ice cream cone! Last night we went to the mall to find Gulianna an Easter dress, I wanted more of a dressy one, but every store I went to, there selection wasn't very good, and if they had a dress I liked, it wasn't in her size. I ended up finding one at the Gap, it's more of a spring dress, but it'll work! I also wanted to get Gulianna's pictures taken with the Easter Bunny, but I figured he was probably only there till 7, and we got there at 8pm, and when I had past by the area, I looked at the sign, and he was there till 8:00pm!!! Actually when I looked at the sign it was 7:58pm, and he was already gone, oh well. Gulianna was with Levi at Barnes & Noble while I was looking for a dress. After I was done, they met me there and we opened the rope to take Gulianna's pictures by the little display! My youngest brother RJ turned "12" yesterday, I can't believe it! He is the youngest in my family! He is having is birthday party....oh in like 2 minutes~I am here at Scrapalicious, of course. I told him we were going to be an hour late...anyway we our spending the weekend in Driggs, Happy Easter everyone!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I love St. Patrick's Day! Everything green! My favorite color! Gulianna and I went through the drive thru at Arctic Circle, to get a drink, I was wanting a Lime Squeeze, but I said Lime Rickey instead, I wasn't paying attention... Lorinda was in her car in front of me so I honked at her! I also got a vanilla ice cream cone to share with Gulianna, she was having fun licking it! I took pictures but I don't have my cable to download them...I'll post them tomorrow. We are going to make cupcakes tonight for St. Patrick's Day! whooohooo!

I miss Gulianna...

Gulianna is getting into everything at Scrapalicious! She loves to crawl to the paper trays and either grab the paper out, or just pull the tray down and break them....ahhhhh!!! I will then put her in her walker and she walks up to the displays and still grabs things! She is so funny! I miss her today, she has had a fever on and off {she has 2 teeth coming in} so she is at home with Levi! She comes and works with me at the store everyday, it's the best thing in the world! These are some pictures of her from last week... "What, I'm just lookin'..." "Whatever..." "See, I'm just playin'..." {enter a ear piercing squeal of delight here.} Thanks Gulianna for bending the diecuts... "Well that's taken care of, onto the next display..." "What, can't I like Heidi Swapp too...??!?" "Look at me, I'm cute!" "What the ...." "See, this is fun!" {West side, what's up!} "Hey you guys....... I can't see!" "nnnaaannnn nnn nnnnna nnana BATMAN!"

Sometimes I like to do things backwards...

So on Saturday I bought some really cute fabric to make some curtains, well I'm not making them, cuz I don't know how, {mom you get to make them!} Now I am actually motivated to paint my scrapbook room, now that we just listed our home! Anyway here's a picture of the fabric, it is so awesome, I absolutely lOvE these colors! Well after work, I went home so that I could paint the drawers on the built-in desk. The drawers are a lime green, and I wanted to paint them coral. While I really like the green, I wanted to change it up a bit, and paint them coral. So I started painting them, and I had 2 drawers left, and I thought to myself...I should bring up the fabric to see how it looks with the paint! I ran downstairs to get the fabric, and then went back up to my scrapbooking room, put the fabric against one of the green drawers, and what do you know-it actually looked really good together, almost better than the coral! Why I didn't check before, who knows, but now I had to make up my mind. I ran into the garage to get Levi, so he could help me decide on which color to go with but he was too busy, so it was up to me to decide! Here is my thought process: I like the green but it's too bright, that's why I painted the coral. But the green looks better with the fabric. If I like the green then I need to hurry and wipe off the coral paint, because I don't have any of the green paint, and I don't know what the name of the color is. If I decide the coral does look better I can always just paint them again. Maybe I should just use both colors, alternating the drawers with the two colors. Why can't I make up my mind? I feel like Cherry right now! {No offense Cherry!} I need to hurry and figure it out because the paint is starting to dry... So I ended up, wiping the coral paint off, although I forgot to wipe off the inside of the desk, so now that is dry. I started painting the tan on the walls, and now I have to say that the green doesn't look as well as the coral would against the tan walls!!! Oh well, I will wait and figure it out when the walls are completely finished!
