<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Matt and I were trying to decide what to do over President's Day weekend. Our choices were: stay in Washington and get some house work done <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(not what I wanted to do)</span>, go camping with friends <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(sounded way better than house work!)</span>, or drive to MT to go ski and see family <span style="font-size: xx-small;">(always a fun time).</span> We chose the latter, but first we celebrated Valentine's Day. Oddly enough, we never celebrate Valentine's Day and we both secretly got something for each other this year!! Matt made dinner (my favorite, PIZZA) and brought me a variety pack of local dark chocolates. They were amazing!! I got Matt some chocolates and a very cool fly fishing shirt from Etsy. We had a great time, but had to start packing since we made the decision to go to MT last minute.</span><br />
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My goal for this MT trip was to go brewery hopping, skiing, and go to the boiling river in Yellowstone. I was so happy to cross all of those off our list!! </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">March was a fun month, one of my best friends visited for the beginning of her Spring Break! I picked Rachel up from Sea-Tac, and we had to find this restaurant for brunch - and boy did we have an adventure. Let's just say we had to turn around and around a lot ;) We also took her to Seattle and other small towns around the peninsula. It was fun showing her around our area for the first time.</span></div>

Maybe this year will be different? Hopefully I will post more than ONCE A YEAR! <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> {how embarrassing} </i></span> Since last April, Matt and I have visited Maui, Hawaii. We had such a great time - first vacation just for ourselves since our wedding. We miss it every day!!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After we came back, we traveled to Montana to see family and friends. The reason for our trip was to attend a graduation party for my dear friend, Rachel. She <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>{finally}</i></span> graduated college and that was a great reason to visit/celebrate!! She is now going to grad school at George Washington University in Washington, D.C.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In between then and November we had lots of visitors, my family, Matt's family, our friend Katelyn and also earlier in the year we had our friends Hillary and Bobby visit. It is always fun having familiar faces around us and having a great time!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have also been working out and trying to get into better shape. It's been fun cooking with Matt and trying new recipes. We started the Paleo diet in November. I love it, but Matt doesn't like to work we have to put into every meal. Men. Instant gratification :) I am down a few #'s and my muscles are getting stronger, so I will try to be as Paleo as possible, I love it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the beginning of December I took a trip to Washington, D.C to visit Rachel. It was such an epic adventure. I had never flown alone - but it went just fine. <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>{Had to calm my nerves a few times} </i></span> Our list of activities were as follows: shop, eat, National Christmas Tree Lighting<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> {Yes!! We won the lottery}</i></span>, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals concert <span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>{best ever!!}</i></span>, monument sight seeing, shop in Georgetown, eat at Georgetown Cupcakes {yum!!}, ride the metro <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">{that was fun to do}</span></i>, and try out a "Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives" restaurant. We had so much fun, I would love to go back and do it all again. Christmas is both our favorite time of year, it was so cool to see the town decorated in Christmas!! </span><br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">A few weeks ago, a coworker of mine had a baby. Well, his wife did. It's always hard trying to find gifts for the dads, especially if they are having a girl. I was perusing <a href="http://www.pinterest.com/">Pinterest</a> (once again) and came upon a baby diaper cake. Well the link took me to diapers at Amazon. That didn't help!! So, I just went from the picture...</span></div>

Wow! I didn't realize it has almost been a year since I have posted! Woops!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Since April 2011, I have visited family in Montana and Tennessee, family visited us here in Washington, ran two 5Ks, my sister graduated COLLEGE!, celebrated our 5 year anniversary (wow!), and had some wonderful days with Matt and Lola. It was a great year!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have also discovered the lovely website,<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/"> Pinterest</a>! There are tons of fun ideas for DIY projects for the home which is what this post is all about. I discovered <a href="http://itsdoable.squarespace.com/blog/2012/1/23/its-doablethe-flower-wall-art.html">this project</a> and fell in love with it. At first I didn't have the colors I wanted, so I contacted my mother who has stock piles of scrap paper. Thank goodness, because she had the perfect paper to macth my livingroom and paint! </div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
I just bought a canvas from Michael's and used some wall paint I had laying around from when we painted our livingroom. We bought samples from Lowe's, it was perfect for this project since I didn't need a lot to work with. I used the foam brushes, which worked great!</div>

Then cut each piece into leaves. I had some left over and cut some small ones for filler.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Placed each pattern down across from each other and just worked the patterns around each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally, got my glue gun ready and glued each leaf down. The ones that hung over the canvas, I folded and glued so it had a "finished" look.</div>

I actually had a lot of fun making this card. I really had no idea where to start. Went through tons of paper my mother gave me, and finally picked out a theme.....PINK! It is very simple, but I love it for my second card!!!<br />

This last weekend was great fun! Great breakfast in Port Townsend, then hung out on the beach for a few hours. It was kind of windy, but that didn't stop us from having fun!! Lola enjoyed it too...<br />
<br />
Matt and I don't usually celebrate Valentine's Day, but I had to make him a card!<br />

We have to work with vellum, so this will be new for me. We'll see what I come up with!!! I'll post as soon as I am finished!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

This is my first post to my FIRST blog. I got my inspiration to start a blog from my mother, <a href="http://kristiilockart.blogspot.com/">Kristii Lockart</a>. Thanks Mom! I also started this blog to post some of my projects of scrap booking and of updating our house so everyone can see. I'm just starting to get into scrap booking and my Mom has helped me out tremendously!<br />
Today Matt and I are having a lazy Saturday. It's so nice to have just one of those days (since this is taking me so long to create!), and since Matt just bought a new car and he's been in the garage for the majority of the day. Ha! Tomorrow will be fun though, we are thinking of going to breakfast in Port Townsend to Point Hudson Cafe. I just love that town. We'll have to take Lola so she can enjoy the beach! Hopefully it will be nice out tomorrow...it's raining right now. Surprise, surprise.<br />
<br />
A couple of days ago, my Mom introduced me into <a href="http://papertreyink.com/">Papertreyink.com</a> and some of the challenges they have. I entered one and it's called <a href="http://nicholeheady.typepad.com/capture_the_moment/make-it-monday/">Make It Monday</a>. We had to get our sentiment stamps out and make a collage of them. This is what I came up with:<br />
