Last Post of 2011

OK, I LEAVE BLOG TO BUNNY BANANA 

IN 2011 ON THIS NOTE:

ME AND JANNELL WENT TO SKY BAR THIS LAST

THURSDAY AND THE ATMOSPHERE WAS AMAZING!

I TOOK THAT SHORT VIDEO BECAUSE MY PICTURES

WERE NOT DOING IT ANY JUSTICE.  THERE WAS

THE DISCO BALL, THE FIRE, AND THE WALL 

FOUNTAIN ALL JUST ROCKING MY WORLD.

I FEEL LIKE I'VE FOUND MYSELF IN A LOT

OF THESE TYPES OF SITUATIONS THIS YEAR.  LOOKING

AROUND AND NOTICING THAT I AM IN AN AMAZING 

PLACE WITH AMAZING PEOPLE.

2011 WAS A SHITTY YEAR FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE I

KNOW, BUT I ACTUALLY HAD A PRETTY AMAZING

YEAR.  I GOT MY JOB AT UA, CONNECTED WITH ERNIE,

AND CREATED THE CRAFT ROOM WITH MEADOW.

BUT I HAVE ALSO REALLY LOVED BEING 30!  (WELL 31 NOW.)

NOW THAT I AM NOT GOING BACK TO SCHOOL

IN JANUARY I AM CAUTIOUS OF 2012, BUT I'M

SURE, JUST LIKE ALL OF YOU ASSHOLES (I KID)

HAVE SAID, IT IS ALL FOR THE BETTER.

(SOMEHOW I CAN'T SEE YET.)

ϟ ϟ ϟ

HAPPY NEW YEAR BUNNY BANANA!

I AM PRETTY SURE YOU HAD AN AMAZING

YEAR TOO!  IT JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER FOR

YOU AND THAT MAKES ME SO HAPPY!

ϟ ϟ ϟ

TONIGHT I AM GOING TO KILL 2011!!!

YOU WILL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN!!!

AS PROMISED, HERE IS THE LOW-DOWN ON

THE ITEMS I PURCHASED WITH THE MICHAELS

GIFT CARD THAT BUNNY BANANA GAVE ME

FOR MY BIRTHDAY:

THESE TWO GLITTERS WERE ON CLEARANCE:

FLASH

NO FLASH

I USUALLY AVOID THE WEIRD SHAPES OF GLITTER, 

SUCH AS THESE TINSEL GLITTERS, BUT SINCE THEY

WERE ON CLEARANCE AND THE COLORS WERE SO

GOOD I DECIDED TO TRY THEM.  REALIZATION?

WHY HAVE I BEEN DEPRIVING MYSELF OF THESE?!?!

THEY ARE AMAZING.  I'M SUCH A GLITTER SNOB!
THESE ARE DEF MY NEW FAVORITE THINGS.

I MEAN EXCEPT FOR THIS FAVORITE ONE OF MINE

WHICH I GOT WITH THE GIFT CARD TOO.  YELLOW 

GLITTER IS HARD TO FIND!!  THIS IS MY SECOND YELLOW

BUT THIS ONE IS WAY BETTER THAN THE OTHER ONE

I HAVE WHICH LOOKS MORE LIKE A GOLD SOMETIMES.

THIS ONE NEVER LOOKS LIKE GOLD!

XTRA LONG HOT GLUE GUN STICKS

BECAUSE THE SHORT ONES SUCK.

RESIN

I USED ONE OF THOSE 40% OFF AN ITEM
COUPONS ON THIS ONE.  THIS BOX IS LIKE $30
USUALLY AND I NEEDED MORE SO BAD!  YAY!

AND THEN FINALLY, I GOT THIS DISCO BALL
ORNAMENT KIT.  (DISCO XMAS!)  I DIDN'T REALIZE IT WAS A
KIT WHEN I BOUGHT IT.  I THOUGHT IT WAS ALREADY
ASSEMBLED.  BUT THEN I DECIDED I LIKED THE PARTS
ALL SEPARATE ANYWAY.  SO I PUT THE MIRROR CIRCLES
THAT CAME WITH IT IN ONE OF OUR SPICE RACK JARS:

THERE ARE A MILLION USES FOR MIRROR DISCS!

AND THE THREE DISCO BALLS IT CAME WITH
ARE NOW ON MY SHELF:

NEXT TO MY OTHER MINI-ER DISCO BALLS:

NEXT TO MY ACTUAL SIZE DISCO BALL:

AND VIOLA!  THAT IS HOW PERLANA ROLLS!
IN DISCO BALLS AND GLITTER!  (DUH)

THANKS AGAIN BUNNY BANANA!
I MISS YOU ALREADY!  (DUH)

One Last Xmas Thing

OK, ONE LAST XMAS THING.  (I THINK.)

I KEEP FINDING THINGS UNDER MOUNTAINS

OF RIBBON AND TISSUE PAPER.

ERNIE'S SISTER GOT HIM THIS CUTE

SNAIL WITH GLASS MOSAIC PIECES!

TRULY A DISCO BALL HOLIDAY THIS YEAR!

ORIN GOT ERNIE THIS GAME CALLED GRASS.

IT IS COMPLICATED!  WE PULLED IT OUT AT ERNIE'S

SISTER'S HOUSE ON XMAS.  FUN THOUGH.

AND THEN ERNIE GOT ME THIS JEWELRY

HANGER THINGY.  IT IS SO CUTE.  LITTLE OWLS.

HE GOT IT FOR ME BECAUSE HE SEES ME FUMBLE

OVER MYSELF EVERY MORNING TRYING TO

UNTANGLE NECKLACES AND THINKING

I'VE LOST CERTAIN PIECES.  I HAVE

ALREADY PUT EVERYTHING ON IT

AND IT IS SO HELPFUL!  YAY!!

COUNTER SPACE!!

Not a Black Swan

I SAW BEAUTIFUL NATHAN WHILE HE WAS

IN TUCSON FOR XMAS AND HE GAVE ME THIS 

PRETTY SWAN ORNAMENT!!  I AM KEEPING

IT UP YEAR ROUND OF COURSE.

IT REMINDED ME

OF BUNNY BANANA'S BLACK SWAN HALLOWEEN

COSTUME WHICH CAME OUT SO AMAZING!

IT WAS SO GREAT TO SEE NATHAN AND

CATCH UP A LITTLE BIT.  HE IS SO TALENTED

AND ADORABLE!  I MISS YOU LA PEEPS!

X O X O X O

I forgot!

I KNEW I WAS GONNA FORGET THIS

PART OF THE XMAS XRAFTING BLOG!

SO I FORGOT TO MENTION THAT

I ALSO MADE A COUPLE OF THESE ORNIMENTS

MADE OUT OF OLD XMAS CARDS.  ERNIE ENDED

UP GIVING THEM TO HIS MOM.  THEY ARE MADE UP

OF 20 CIRCLES CUT OUT OF OLD CARDS.

SUCH A CUTE WAY TO SAVE NICE CARDS

PEOPLE HAVE GIVEN ME IN THE PAST AND 

NOT JUST THROW THEM AWAY!

☃ ☃ ☃

Corningware Shelf

YAY!  I FINALLY GOT MY SHELF TOGETHER

SO THAT I CAN HAVE MORE CABINET ROOM AND

ALSO DISPLAY MY COLLECTION OF PYREX

AND CORNINGWARE DISHES IN THE KITCHEN!

IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT ALL TOGETHER!

AND NOW I HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF WHAT I

ALREADY HAVE AND WHAT I MIGHT STILL

WANT IF I SEE IT.  YAY!!!  ERNIE'S SISTER
WAS SHOWING ME SOME OF HER AMAZING
CORNINGWARE PIECES AT XMAS TOO.
IT MUST BE A CHICK THING. 

Chanukah

HAPPY LATE CHANUKAH BUNNY BANANA!

ME AND ERNIE SPENT IT OUT AT LEE AND HERB'S

HOUSE WITH ORIN AND STEVE.

THE TABLE WAS SET SO CUTELY!

 I MADE THE MARSHMALLOW DREIDELS FOR IT.

STEVE AND JAYE GAVE ME A DISCO BALL!

THEY NOTICED ME EYEBALLING THEIRS HERE

AND JAYE HAD AN EXTRA ONE LYING AROUND!

WHAT AN AMAZING SCORE!  I LIKE HOW YOU CAN 

SEE ME TAKING THE PIC IN THE REFLECTION.

I PUT IT IN MY LIVING ROOM:

THE BOX THEY GAVE IT TO ME IN WAS EQUALLY AMAZING!

AND ORIN GAVE ME THESE AMAZING MEASURING

CUPS AND THIS CUTE MS. FOOD FACE PLATE!

ALTHOUGH THE MARSHMALLOW DREIDELS WERE A BIG

HIT I STILL THINK EVERYONE ELSE'S STUFF WAS BETTER.

I THINK I OWE ORIN A CRAFT PROJECT SOON!!

Sunday at Dad's

THIS IS ANOTHER WAY OVERDUE BLOG.
THIS SUNDAY AT DAD'S ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE
ON DECEMBER 11.  BOO PERLANA!  SO LATE!

SO LET ME LOOK BACK AT THE PICS AND SEE
WHAT I CAN REMEMBER HERE.  HA HA.

DAD WAS MAKING THESE WOOD PACKETS
TO GRILL WITH.  I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT
THEY ARE CALLED NOW.  A GOOD REASON
NOT TO LET SO MUCH TIME GO BY BEFORE
POSTING!  BUT OH WELL, I DO WHAT I CAN.

I LIKE THE CHECKERED CHARCOAL.

WOOD PACKETS GO HERE UNDERNEATH THE 

CHECKERED CHARCOAL PAN.

DAD'S "FOOD'S READY" TRIANGLE.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT IT'S FOR ANYWAY.

FUN FESTIVE YUMMY SMELLING CANDLE

BEAUTIFUL WREATH SENT BY JULIE (I THINK
IT WAS?  AGAIN, SHOULDN'T LET WEEKS GO
BY WITHOUT AT LEAST JOTTING DOWN SOME
NOTES.  THIS TIME OF YEAR IT'S HARD THOUGH!)

I AM A FAN OF LINDA'S ROD IRON FLAMINGO.

IT WAS THE CAT SHAKERS THAT NIGHT.

EVERYTHING ALL TOGETHER.

PIE FOR DESSERT!  SO DECADENT!

THE NEXT SUNDAY AT DAD'S LANDED ON
XMAS SO WE DID A WED NIGHT SUSHI DINNER
INSTEAD SINCE I WAS HANGING WITH ERNIE'S
FAMILY XMAS DAY.  TIL THE NEXT ONE!
