Can I just say, Dang it is cold here!
It was 5 degrees below zero when I left for my class this morning. I left my tea in the car and when I went back for lunch, it was frozen solid! That is way too cold for me.
I drove to Palmer yesterday to have one of my friends cut my hair.
My friend Jana, aside from being an amazing firefighter, owns her own beauty school/salon. The whole place has a "fire" theme, it's quite fun!
That's not me in the chair.
:)
That's me after my haircut.
Thanks Jana!
I spent all day Saturday & Sunday in my Safety Officer class, then went back to the hotel and did some crafting. I didn't take my camera with me, so please bear with my phone photos that I took.
I made some Christmas coasters.
These are a quick and easy last minute gifts.
1. All you need is some 4x4 tiles, you can get them at Lowes or Home Depot for about 16 cents each.
2. Some Christmas (or other) paper napkins.
3. You will also need some Mod Podge, a foam brush, thin sheets of cork and some Clear Acrylic Spray.
4. Trim the napkins to about 3 3/4 x 3 3/4, and Mod Podge it onto the tile. When it's dry, add another coat on top. When the tiles are completely dry, spray them with the clear acrylic spray.
(I crinkled up my napkins to give them a little texture.)
Trim a piece of cork for the bottom, and adhere it with hot glue. When they are done, stack them up and tie with a ribbon...ready for gift giving!
I left Wasilla at 8am this morning (it was -14 degrees) and I headed back home to Seldovia.
I don't think I will leave town again untill I go to CHA in January, I don't like traveling by myself.
Anyway, I got my turkey before I got home. We are going to someone's house for Thanksgiving, but I still have to make a turkey for sandwiches!
Best part of the day.
Have a great "short" week.
