Alaskan Cruise.

Norwegian Star Cruise Ship.We're back from our 7 day cruise to Alaska and Canada! Besides the fact that I still feel like I'm rocking up and down (not so fun), Alaska was the best trip I've ever been on. Thank you to Grandpa John for taking us with him on the Alaskan trip that he's been dreaming of ever since I can remember. Here's a recap...

Naish loved everything but I think his favorite part of the trip was the moving walkway at the airport...go figure!

Matani loved the kids play zone and the waterslide on the ship that he went down at least 100 times despite that it was in the high 40's outside. He also fell in love with the housekeeping girl from the Phillipines who folded a new animal out of towels for him everynight and used mints for eyes.

We made it home just in time to do a couple of fireworks!

My impression of Alaska is that it is an incredibly sacred place. It is still and quiet, pure and clean, virtually untouched by man. I'm ready to go back again.

Picture Wall.

My den is half way done. The other side of the room is perfect. This side is empty. I bought a zillion (20 to be exact) frames a year ago at Aaron Brother's penny sale (buy one frame get another for a penny...[they run that sale in January and July]).

I borrowed my neighbor's laser level and went to work.

I cut out paper the exact size as the frames to play with the placement of them on the wall.

Then I nailed away. My hubby cringed everytime I pounded another hole in the wall. (He just doesn't know good design).

Then I hung away. You can see I don't have any real pictures yet in the frames...that will be next.

This is my dream sofa that will go under all those pictures. It is from Red in Fred. Way out of my price range at this point in my life but a girl can always dream, right?

Lamp love.

Jake and I just returned from a three day spiritual feeding at his annual LDS conference for husbands and wives. It was wonderful. My mom was so generous as to watch my two boys, spoil them, let them eat junk food to their hearts content...all that grandma stuff. She brought me a belated birthday gift that I couldn't be more excited about. I grew up with these lamps in her house...and now they're mine to hopefully work a little magic on.

Here are a few inspirational pictures of lamps I've found on the internet to get my creative juices flowing. Aaahhh...the possibilities.
