Much needed girls time...

So my friend Jessica and I had planned a crafting day on the day of conference since she didn't have her boys and I got my mother in law to watch Joseph which was nice. It turned out we had to buy the stuff and didn't want to do it on Saturday, So we planned for Friday afternoon. Her and Sam had plans, but it ended up they invited me to go that night. So we started the afternoon shopping for fabrics. LOVED it but it was pricey. We then ended up meeting Sam there. Joseph then started SCREAMING (it was lunch time) so we ended up going to Taco Bell. Joseph LOVED his taco. haha look at those fangs of his! After Taco bell we dropped Joseph off at my mother in laws. He slept over there for the night which was good for me so I could shampoo my carpet anyway. Then Jessica, Sam, and I went SHOPPING!!! we finished shopping for things we needed for Saturday then at Michaels they had 40% off items at old navy so guess what we did afterwards? ha I got a CUTE cardigan. Anyway we hit up a movie at the REEL watched Eclipse. Love that movie. Anyway we ended the night shortly after that. Then the next day we met at my house (ha both Sam and Jessica LATE!) haha we turned on conference and started crafting.

Side note: Jessica takes this positive parenting class and they talked on how traditions were important for kids and such. Anyway they had a cute Halloween one. You make or buy a Halloween pillow case on Oct. 1st you put it on their pillow. They sleep on it until Halloween. Then they take it off and use it as a bag for trick or treating. (crafty right?) Then when they get home (after inspecting the candy) you get a zip lock bag and let them choose their favorite candy and put it in the zip lock bag. The rest of the candy you put in the pillow case and they put it on the front porch for the "Halloween Which" then the Halloween which replaces the candy with a good book! Then the rest of the Candy you use for Christmas. (what the parents don't eat of course haha) Saves you money!

So we decided to make pillow cases. I've had sewing machine but never used it so Jessica being the doll she is taught me how to use it!!! My first sewing project ever.

My first mistake. Don't even ask me how I did it, Jessica couldn't even figure it out. BUT I fixed it and in the end it turned out GREAT!!!

Joesph's Halloween pillow case! isn't it cute. Gotta love Charlie Brown! I've started pillows and stuff and I'll take pictures of them when they are done. Well that night Jessica and I hit up Ladies night at deseret book. We were number 25 and 26 of the first 100 ladies and got the free sign they were giving away. I also got a cute sign for 2.99! I also won a book during the raffle!!!wahoo
