Did you know that California Pizza Kitchen and Cabbage Patch Kids have the same initials?

4 Years!

July 9th was our anniversary and we celebrated it on Friday. I planned it this year. The theme was Oakland. We went to the Oakland Temple.




Then we went to lunch at Celestine's.
We had Potato Skins, then I had the Turkey legs with Yams and squash and Steve had half a fried chicken with mashed potatoes and squash.

It was DELICIOUS!!












Then we went on a tour of the USS Potomac, which was FDR's presidential yacht. Very cool!

















These seats on our the back of the boat. FDR would come back and sit and think. It is super comfy!



We had a really fun time together! And as Steve's said, we have signed up for another year.

OLW: One Little Word
Their word for this week: Joy

I had to participate; I could not pass this up. My daughter's name is Rebecca Joy. Joy is a family name on my husbands side. Christmas time comes around and I try to find as much Joy things as possible and my family has helped me find things and my husband's family already has tons of things. Well, last time around Christmas my LSS was closing. They has this awesome JOY stamp (the title stamp). I just wanted to have it, so my hubby bought it for me for a stocking stuffer.
The stamp is by Stampington & Company. The journaling stamp is by Unity Stamp Co. Paper, stickers, and rub-ons by KI memories. China Blue Distress Ink. Felt ribbon by Michael's store. Prima flowers. Making Memories brads. Marvy Le Plume II marker for the swirls.

Big Ol' Bag

I made this bag for my friend Tosha. I just finished it and we felted it on Monday. She took pictures after it dried. It is a big bag. I'm so glad she loves it!
