Crafting! I know that isn't what you expected, right? Thanks to Pinterest I have had this weird desire to start making my own holiday decorations for our house. Maybe it's because we're now homeowners and poor, so we can't afford to just buy decorations. But who's to say that if we were filthy rich I wouldn't still want to make my own things. My wonderful mom and brother Zach came down to Springville to play with us yesterday. I was pretty stressed out because I hadn't thought of any super fun plans for us to do on the Labor Day holiday. Once they got here we chatted a few minutes and then decided that we were hungry. Off to Glades. For those of you who have been to Spanish Fork, or surrounding areas, and haven't been to Glades. . . Shame on you. But next time you're in the area, you MUST go. It's not incredible food I have ever eaten, but the experience (and the sauce for fries) is reason enough to go. After lunch, we tried to figure out something fun. I showed my mom a few things on Pinterest that I had wanted to try, and she was game. Off to Michaels we went. It was there that I realized how cheap I truly am. Some things for crafting are expensive. Who knew? But not to fear. . . Well, maybe a little bit of fear. . . We ended up going to Wal-Mart for some things at a cheaper rate. Since Halloween is the next holiday coming up, we decided that that is what we were going to do. Once the holiday gets closer, we have pumpkin ideas on our mind as well. We have both thought of some pretty great ideas. That is a post for a future date. Next month I'll do Thanksgiving/Fall decorations, and in November I'll do Christmas decorations. I am pretty stoked. I want to keep it up because I loved it yesterday. Even Chris got in on the action. Where's Zach you may ask? Don't worry he was taking care of the Wii.

Both of the crafts were really easy. A little time consuming (only a baby bit). . . But pretty easy to do. I'm excited to see what DIY Crafty Craft I'll do next.
