Trip to Keystone

We made a last minute decision last week to go spend a little time in the mountains. We packed our bags with Grandma (Chris' mom) and Kent and took off within a matter of hours. It was a very nice little 'getaway'. We had a 2 bedroom Condo that was beautiful! Since it wasn't peak season, they were able to upgrade our rooms to a nicer Condo with a beautiful view! It was amazing!









Here is a pic of Natalie and Megan out on the balcony.











Just a short walk away from our room was a ski lift. It took a lot of coaxing, but we finally talked Natalie into riding on it to see the views up top of the mountains. Megan was ready to go from the beginning and very excited!




If you look closely in the picture to the left, the 2 tiny dots two lifts behind us was Chris' mom and Kent. : )

Once we got on the ski lift, Natalie suddenly forgot all of her fears and she was in total 'awe' of the beauty that God had created. She was still gripping with all of her might and complaining of sore fingers as we finally talked her into releasing her white knuckles from the bars. This picture was taken on the way back down the mountain when both girls finally were brave enough to look over at me for a picture. At this point, Natalie to take 10 more rides to the top. ; )

Here is a picture of Chris' mom and Kent at the top of the mountains.

We took a walk around the resort and found a beautiful trail with gorgeous scenery!

I must admit, another highlight of my trip was finding the nearby mall that had an outlet Coach and Lucky Brand store! ; )

We had a great time and can't wait to go back over Thanksgiving weekend. At that time, there should be snow for a sleigh ride and possibly some skiing! : )

My Attempt at Craftiness

So those of you that know me know that I am not a 'seamstress' of any kind. So when my neighbor shared this idea with me about 'no-sew' curtains, I had to try it out. For the girls bathroom, (with the neighbors help) I found a piece of material that matched...folded it over, thumbtacked it to the wall, hot glued a trim piece and a ribbon and WA LA! It was done!

There are pink and green dots in the material that don't show up very well on the picture.

And here is the finished project.

Chris and I also transformed Megan's room into her own little Tinkerbell haven!

We added wainscotting to the top half of the wall and painted the bottom purple. Her favorite part of the room are the wings that we hung in the corner. : ) I think it will be a while before Chris and I work together hanging wainscotting. Our first experience with it was our laundry room......

I like the looks of it, but it sure was a pain! No more projects for a while. : )
