Craft Lake City

Saturday August 14, 2010

marked the day of my very first event. I have had so many people telling me that I need to start selling all of my creations. So, finally I just went for it. Michael and I went to Craft Lake City last year, just for fun, and thought it was so cool. So, I looked into it and decided that if I was going to do an event, this would be the one to do for my first time. I sold purses, headbands, flower hair clips, and broaches. It was such a fun day. We were right in the middle of everything and had a clear view of all of the great bands that played. It was so fun to get to talk to all of the artists around us. So many cool people. I got lots of positive feedback from my products and we didn't do too bad either. And let me just say, thank you to Mike. He is such an awesome husband. He came up there with me, helped me unload, set up, and sat there with me for 10 hours! Isn't he amazing!? I had lost of support from family and friends. Thank you all so much for coming up!

This was my booth. Turned out pretty good for as little preparation as I had. Steve made the AMAZING purse rack! So stoked on it Steve! Thank you!

This was just kind of our isle. It went down pretty far and there was an entire upper level as well.

And my amazing husband.

AF Canyon

Sunday August 8, 2010

We went up American Fork Canyon with the Duke's and Shaun and Diane. We all made tinfoil dinners before and brought them up and cooked them in a fire. Thanks to Shaun. He some how always gets the task of fire maker and cooker. He is just so great at it! Or he is just the Dad. We had an awesome evening though. Diane brought up her dutch oven and made a cake for everyone. It was so yummy! She made it out of fresh berries from their garden. The park ranger came around and gave the little girls a little ranger book. They were loving it. Those two little girls are so adventurous. Nev had a few spills but she is a tough cookie.

Seven Peaks

Monday August 2, 2010

Yesterday we went to Seven Peaks with the Duke family. We had so much fun. The girls loved the Tube Run and the Flash Flood Slides. We tried the Cave In and neither of them really appreciated that very much. It was an awesome day, full of chasing kids from pool to pool and slides and lots of sun.

This was Skylar by the end of the day, so tired.

Bear Lake

This past weekend we went to Bear Lake. We go every summer with my family. This year Michael and I just went up for one night. We had to take little Scout with us because he is too little to leave home just yet. Pets are not allowed at the resort we stayed at so we didn't really feel too comfortable staying for very long. We had an awesome time though. We left early Saturday morning, arrived in Bear Lake around 10 am and left Sunday evening after dinner. Michael's boss was nice enough to let us take his boat up there for the weekend, so that is what we did all day Saturday. We did a lot of tubing, and a little wake boarding. Sunday we just hung out on the beach all morning and then we went swimming and just had a relaxing day. Bear Lake always makes for a good time.
