Origami Owl Conference...

I was able to attend my first Origami Owl conference in Nashville at the end of January and have a few pictures to share. We all had a great time and I am so honored to be working for such a wonderful company. I set many goals while at this conference and I know it will be amazing seeing them all come to light!

I have a wonderful team and I know that we will all SOAR in 2013!

January has come and gone....

Dennis and brought in the New Year at home in our nice warm pj's! We have both set many goals this year for ourselves and marriage. We know 2013 will be filled with lots of new things and much love and happiness.

After Christmas Destiny and I went shopping for some supplies I needed for an upcoming bridal show. We made it a girls day and I love spending time with her. I realize through my niece and nephews just how fast kids grow up.

One of the things I wanted for my bridal show booth was cute fabric bunting (flags). I knew what I wanted, but it took us a while to find just the right fabric at Hobby Lobby. I made it back home and loved the way all the fabric looked together. Here's your supplies:



4-5 different types of fabric, ribbon and stitch witchery (awesome!)



You will need to cut the fabric in to triangles.. I just eye balled the size and went for it.

Next, you lay out your ribbon on an ironing board and put a strip of stitch witchery along the bottom of the ribbon. You will then need to align your flags along on top of the stitch witchery. By the way, if you are not familiar with stitch witchery, it is a fabric type adhesive that bonds fabrics together when heat is applied.

I made about 3 yards of the fabric bunting and LOVED the outcome at the bridal show!

We had our first snow of the year in January and I was sure surprised to see my hibiscus blooming that my Mama got me last year. This is the only plant I have not killed and I think it is because it is a tropical plant. I told D that it would be best for me to move to a tropical climate so that I could better take care of my plants...him and Mama agreed!

Catching Up!

I cannot believe it's been since December 17th since I did a post! I must say I have been one busy "owl" these past few months. I was super busy this holiday season with Origami Owl and have now even added 9 people to my team! Let's start with Christmas...

The week before Christmas we had our first annual Tacky Christmas Party with all of our close friends. The night before the party Dennis and I went with Chad to buy his very first Christmas tree...that was an experience in itself! They gave in and let the girls do the decorating.We all had such a great time and I can't wait to continue the tradition this year. Everyone really got in to the "tacky" part and I must say, the boys were ALOT tackier than the girls.







Christmas Eve we went to Dennis' aunt and uncles house then to his parents so the kids could open their gifts from Aunt Kayla and Uncle D. Destiny got lots of cute clothes, shoes and girly stuff and Daniel got clothes and a remote control helicopter that Dennis and his Dad enjoyed as well! On Christmas Day Dennis and I do our traditional gift opening at our house with our little baby. This year I got a brand new laptop and this cute case. Peyton got a toy too from Santa!

Once we got done opening gifts for one another we headed back to his parent's house for a yummy breakfast then to my mom's for lunch!

 Miss Paisley even got lots of Chritmas presents too!

Once we ate lunch we got to rest our bellys a little before we headed to my Dad's for dinner. Malachi really understood Christmas this year and he had a blast! He didn't really care what the present was, he just loved tearing off the paper. Uncle D and Aunt Kaya bought his some cute clothes, pj's, and a John Deere tractor!

I know I say this in every post, but Dennis and I are so very blessed to have such wonderful family and friends. We could not of spent the holidays any better way!
