A few creations

I have finished a few projects in the last month. It has been great to see the final results. The quilts are now all bound and and some have been given as gifts. The Christmas one is on my couch, I didn't want to wait until after Thanksgiving to display it. The others are waiting for the right person to give them to, or they will be at the ranch when we get our cabins done. The art is watercolor and the latest ones I have finished. Now, I can relax and enjoy the holidays, and start something new for the New Year.








I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season! We love you and appreciate all that is done for us!

Halloween day and night




We had a fun Halloween, even though we missed Trunk or Treat... We decided to go to Antelope Island and watch the Bison be herded. It was a great day. We packed a lunch and spent the day touring and seeing the ranch. The kids got to climb trees, practice roping the stationary cows, see bison, hike, tour the old buildings and be with family, which was the best part of the day. We didn't know it at the time, but Curt's nephew, Chris, was there herding the bison and had a close call with one of them. It is a beautiful place, even though it looks like the desert in parts.( Not that desert's aren't pretty, they really are!) I would like to go and have a painting day there.

We got back in time for the kids to get on their costumes and Trick or Treat. It was a great holiday! We have too much candy left over, but it won't take long to go through it. I believe it is ok to have those little candy bars, you can't count them as a whole one, so you really aren't cheating when you eat one!!! I just had such a great day, I hope we can do more things like this with the family!
