Even More Cookies!

This little gem was made by my older brother in response to my previous cookie post. This is 'Velvet's' sidekick, 'Beverly'. And she is BEAUTIFUL.

Magic happens when 2 Julie's and a Matt get together:

A moose from the inside out

Scabby knees

Leslie the Lumberjack

Greatest non-holiday, holiday cookies, wouldn't you say?

A Bounty of Books

A few books I made for the holiday boutique at work:

If you, (or anyone you know) wants a custom book made, feel free to contact me! 

Don't be bashful. You know you want one.

Gingerbread Madness

Why yes, I did decorate all of these last night. Thanks for asking.

His name is Velvet.

I know, I know...

Sorry for the lack of posts. I really don't lead a very blog-worthy life, I've decided.
Now, I don't know if many know this, but I don't really care a whole lot about music....I know, I know. Music isn't a huge priority to me. It's not that I don't enjoy music, but I'm just not one to obsess over bands, frequent concerts, or search out new artists. If I'm not in my car, I rarely listen to tunes, and if I had to choose between having music or movies on in the background while I did things, movies would always win.**


All that aside, I do enjoy a good music video. I've dug up a few videos from friends blogs' that I really enjoy. (Thank you, Maren and Julie.) 






These last two videos are by my very talented friend, Matt Walker. He and his wife/my good friend, Julie, are quite possibly some of the most creative people I know. They do everything themselves: make all the scenes by hand, choose the music, shoot the videos, etc. Simply brilliant. They also make custom videos for weddings, engagements, parties--pretty much whatever your little heart can dream up. Their videos are super original and wonderfully personal--I love them!

**I take no issue with those people who DO make music a priority--after all, if it wasn't for them I probably wouldn't have half the music on my ipod, or even these little gems to post. It's just not my thing, that's all. 

Pumpkin Play

Pumpkins. Mustaches. Devil Heads. Maverik x 2. FroYo. Football Pads.

Who would have guessed that failed movie plans would turn into something so great?

Sorry for the one repeat--I realized in the previous post that the color came across horribly. 

Hopefully these will look a little better!

Watercolor Collage

This didn't photograph too well...but you get the idea.

Acrylic and Watercolors

At the request of my friends, I've decided to post (at random) some art pieces that I've done. 

Family Portrait

I've never been a big fan of traditional family portraits so I made my own. 
It's all 5 members of my family at around the age of 21. 
Sorry about the glare.

Charcoal Love

I had forgotten how much I love drawing with charcoal. 

Tour of Utah

Seeing how this stage of the race ran right past my house, I figured I had better check it out. It was pretty sweet.
