Like Siblings

 My cousin Darcie blessed her third child this last Sunday, so we decided to go.  I was sitting there during the blessing realizing how grateful I am for these cousins.  We are very close for cousins.  We grew up together, so sometimes it's more like they are siblings than cousins.  The only one missing was Betsy, who was the one I ran around most with growing up.

This is Darcie and her new baby Megan.  Poor Darcie just got her gallbladder out a couple of days before, and she was sick, so it wasn't too much fun for her.

 

 This is Douglas (Doug), he is the oldest, and like my big brother.  He is just like a teddy bear.  I love him.

 This is Garrett he is the baby, and the same age as my youngest brother.  He is awesome.

Travis is the middle child and a kick in the pants.  He is very sweet, and would do anything for you.  He sat with me for like an hour playing with my camera and showing me how to do some things.  Apparently you don't get a camera like mine just put it on Auto.  I guess you can do some pretty cool things with it.  Who knew?

 Here is my Auntie Kit.  She is like a second mom to me. Then my cute little grandma came too.  Since my grandpa passed away, she is just be-bopping all over the place.  She is in pretty good health, so I hope we see more of her. It was nice to just sit a shoot the breeze with all of them.    

 I know I haven't been doing many crafts.  I just haven't been in the mood.  But a couple of days ago I made this hard cover for my Kindle.  It is made out of  a book and washi tape.  I have decided I totally dig washi tape.

 It's not very pretty, but I made it up myself, without a tutorial, so I am proud of myself. Plus it's functional and that is all that matters.

 My other project has been these flip-flops.  I bought some really cheap ones, but I can't wear them because of the plastic thing, it always rubs on my toes and gives me blisters.  So normally I buy ones that are made of material, but they are also more expensive.  I came across this tutorial on Pintrest and decided to give it a try. I think they turned out pretty cute.

This is what they did look like.  Much better right?
