Aim High.......

 The past several days I have had the chance to spend with

my younger sister Amy.

"Aim"

Aim is amazing to me.

She is extrodinarily talented and creative.

We have been working on making little purses.

I had a favorite one that broke two days ago.

I have used it like crazy to carry

my phone, lipgloss, a little cash or a credit card, etc.

it is the perfect size for times you don't want your giant bag.

We have also been working on these little dolls for gifts.

(who knows....maybe you will be a lucky recipient!!)

Amy is the real mastermind behind the projects though.

I am constantly freezing up while sewing, afraid to make a mistake, or

confused about which way to turn this or that piece of fabric so

it will turn out right.

I have been known to get so frustrated with the hand sewing that my

dolls end up going w/out eyes, or accidentally making my doll's legs

so narrow that I can't even shove the pencil down to

turn it right side out.
Stinking legs!

My dolls turn into eyeless mice,

but hers are adorable.
ALWAYS.
I swear she can do no wrong when it comes to creativity.

She has always been artistic.

Here is a little sampling of our (her) efforts.

I am good at stuffing and sewing up the seams after Amy does all the work.

It is easy to whittle away several hours on our projects and

not be aware of how much time has passed.....

this has happened a few times on this trip.

Love to craft with this girl!

Look at my new purse!

I did make that....with Amy's guidance.

Can you believe her craft room???

I love all of her storeage ideas....these are just little snipets,

Woudn't it be fun to have a room like this?

She has definietely earned it.

She is constantly working on projects for someone else,

the young women for camp, birthday gifts for the kids to give friends,

you name it.

These are some other creative projects Aim has done.

I love the tree in her daughter Elle's room.

She painted that fun picture below.

McCauley has one of her mobiles in her room.

Today was our big run....

well it wasn't that big, a 10K

and it was all down hill.  It was a lot of fun to run with her

again and see the beautiful city of Salt Lake in a different light.

I slept at her place last night,

we got up at 4:30a.m. to be there at 5:15. 

It was a fun route to run because of the pending parade.

There was lots of interesting people watching.

Tons of people slept out and were still in their beds checking us out as well.

Amy will be running the marathon with our group in January!!!

A first for both of us.

After our run Amy had to go do 5 massages....yikes.

How are your calves lady?

mine are totally sore!!!

This is how we spent the rest of our day -

cliff jumping up Ogden Canyon! 

 

KOWABUNGAAAAAAAAAAA!
