What the heck is a Villano?


So I went to the thrift store the other day and I saw this. I thought this might look good in my bedroom. It's a real painting, not a print. I was walking around the store with it, pondering the decision of if I should buy it or not. A guy came up to me and said, "Oh man, you're taking that. Darn it." I should have been nice and given it to him, but his desire intrigued me. So I bought it. As I was paying for it, the guy came up to me again and said, "I can't believe I let that go. That's such a great deal. That's a Villano!" (whoever the heck that is, this painting looks pretty ordinary to me) So I ran out the door with my painting and drove home quickly to google Mr. Villano. Who knows, he could be the next Monet. After an hour of scouring the internet, I found nothing! Oh well maybe someday he will be famous. But for now, it just will look good on the wall above my dresser.

Obsessed

My darling sister-in-law, Sarah, turned me on to Xerox transfers. She taught me how to do it and even gave me the blender pen to start my Xerox transfer journey. Well, I am addicted.

I love silhouettes of everyday objects. I have many plans for some empty frames. Here is one of my latest transfers.

Conference Sunday

Conference Sunday is always such a relaxing day. We sat around and watched our Apostles speak. Then we had the most scrumptious brunch.


We had a giant German pancake with all of the fixings.

Then Will and I headed up to Mt. Charleston to see the last of the snow. (Yes it "snows" in the Vegas area)

Super Easy Centerpiece



I found this vintage mold at the thrift store the other day. It makes a perfect little centerpiece, don't you think?

April Fools!

This morning my husband woke up to this on the bathroom mirror.

And then he found that he couldn't get into his lunch. I sneakily taped all of his ziploc bags closed.
