Kindle Case

I can't take credit for this one because I found it on pinterest, but it is pretty neat. I got a kindle touch (which I love) and made this cover for it out of an old hard cover book. It didn't take very long to do and it's fun cause you can still hold it like a book. I was pretty excited that it turned out so well.

Here are some pictures.

This is the hard cover book that I used.

Pocket for storage

Elastics on one side for when you're using it

I would recommend using a larger book than I did. It's a little tight. Other than that it was a pretty easy project. No sewing either. Just hot glue and heat and bond :)

New Sewing Machine!!!

So my parents got me a sewing machine for Christmas! It is sooo cool! I've only used it a few times so far, but I already love it! I don't think I'll ever be able to use all the stitches it has, but I'll try really hard to. It also has some sweet quilting stitches so those will be fun to try out too. My parents are awesome! Love them!!

Christmas!!!

So I decided I'd probably better get our Christmas tree pictures up before Christmas.... So here they are. We got a real tree this year, which was excellent because last year our apartment was too small for one so we ended up getting a little two or three foot tall fake one. Love it when you can have a full size tree!



There is a story behind the thick lights... We didn't have enough so we went to the store to get more and thought we got the right kind, but alas, we got the weird wrap around a pillar ones. Oh well they work :) And yes we are totally ghetto because of it!



These are some silly ones of Scott. Hee hee hee

He was holding Tad real tight and he was freaking out. Hence both expressions on human and dog. lol Gotta love my boys! And Beau is a very talented picture avoider so no pictures of him...



Day Thirteen

Five things I did today:

1. I went to work (not exciting, just stinky).

2. I went to the library (this is almost one of my favorite places. The library here is kind of ridiculous when compared with the one I grew up with. But I found a few books)

3. I went to Walmart, but they didn't have everything I needed. Booooo!

4. I loaded some of my CD's onto my computer again because it lost all my music (this seems to be a common theme in my life....)

5. I took my doggies for a walk!!

Not too bad of a day if you minus work, but I'll take it.

Day Twelve

Nicknames.... Well my name is a nickname I guess. My real name is Jessica, but everyone calls me Jessie or Jess. My personal favorite is from before I can remember. My mom told me that my older brother couldn't say my name for awhile so he called me Caca instead. I should go back to that lol. A few friends in high school called me Pepper (cause my last name was Salter. Get it? ha ha) Scott occasionally calls me that too. I don't really have any other good nicknames. At least that's all I can think of.... :)

Day Eleven

Favorite movie.... This is a ridiculous one because I have so many favorites! Some of my more recent favorites are Easy A, Tangled, Footloose (BOTH!!!!) and Get Smart. Some of my favorites of all time are Labyrinth, Willow, Goonies and Man from Snowy River. That's just the ones I can think of at the moment. I end up watching a lot of westerns (not always my favorite) and a lot of Hogan's Heros. That show is very funny. I highly recommend it. Bones is my absolute favorite TV show though. It makes Scott sick to watch! Ha ha ha!

Day Ten

My Bestest best friend would have to be Shilo!!

She is actually my cousin, but we have been friends forever. She is currently going to nursing school and will graduate next spring! So excited for her. I love to talk with her and hang out. We have very deep (and not so deep) conversations about pretty much everything. She is my absolute FAVORITE!!!

And we love being silly!!! :)
