It Is Finally Done!!!

After 3 years September, of remodeling, we are finally done!

We were always going to carpet and at the very last minute we decided to put in Bamboo Floors! Loving it and so glad we did it!!!!

Our new bedroom. We put bamboo floors throughout the upstairs. We have two walls that are a dark brown and two walls and light brown!

Our computer/baby room! Not moved it yet. They put crown molding around the windows, which we love!

My craft room! I love my Frosted Mulberry (aka Purple) walls! It looks great! Now I gotta get it all organized.

15 years ago this weekend we moved into our home! We feel like we are moving into a new home again! Thanks to Danny and Ryan Buffington, Patrick Wong and his assistant! Also thanks to Bruce for moving and storing furniture from 3 rooms into one Family Room! Gotta love these men!

My First Boutique

Oops...my eyes are closed!

Thanks to Kimberly who sorted out my beads and helped make some as well!

My table display...

Bruce put this together for me to display my jewelry. This way people could look and not feel overwhelmed!

Thanks, Shellee, for driving clear out west, west! I loved having you come and visiting and then helping me to pack up! After we met at Michael's - lots of fun!

We had so much fun that we have scheduled a "Fall Boutique" General Conference Saturday (in two weeks) between sessions from 12 noon until 2 p.m. Hopefully outside - weather permitting. We will have several other vendors and should be a lot of fun! Hope all will stop by - it would be a lot of fun to visit with all!

Queen Beads

I have been told I am the "Queen Bee of Beads" and so I have started my own little business called, "Queen Beads." I have been asked to make watch bracelets for others and people have stopped me and have either wanted my card or asked if I take orders! Please check out my blog at:
queenbeads-diane.blogspot.com. I have posted some of my bracelets and will do personalize, custom made jewelry. Also, please see me at the Fall Harvest Boutique Saturday, October 16, from 1-6p.m. The address is approximately 4300 South and 700 East.

That's My Robby Boy!

So, when I saw this picture of Robby on the mission blog, I, like, Rachel, got a tingly feeling and got choked up! Yep...that my Robby boy! I love him and so very proud of him! We are down to almost 7 months! Can't wait!

I got caught...

So...my old work sent me this email:
DIANE,
SALLY WAS OFF YESTERDAY AND CAUGHT A GLANCE OF SOME CRAZY LADY IN THE AUDIENCE OF GOOD THINGS UTAH. SHE SAID SHE WAS WAVING HER ARMS AND SAYING "IT'S MY BIRTHDAY"!! SHE THOUGHT SHE LOOKED A LOT LIKE YOU!! SORRY WE MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY. HAPPY BIRTHDAY AND WE'RE GLAD YOU GOT TO SPEND IT IN SUCH A FUN WAY. SALLY SAID IT MADE HER DAY.
When I got this email, I was just laughing and of course had to explain myself and this is what Marianne emailed me back:
DANE, THAT MAKES IT EVEN FUNNIER. I WAS GOING TO CHECK IN THE COMPUTER BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOUR BIRTHDAY WAS LATER, BUT THEN SAID, I MUST BE WRONG!! ONLY YOU WOULD MAKE IT SO MUCH FUN. I WISH I'D SEEN IT.MARIANNE
It was a lot of fun and still laughing at what had happened!

Good Things Utah!

All the YW and Leaders with the "Good Things, Utah" Girls.

Mary, our YW's President and her daugher, Ambria!

All of us again with "The Girls!"

Me and Mercedes with the girls from "Good Things, Utah!"

We had so much fun going and being the audience at "Good Things Utah." We were rowdy before the show and they asked what we had for breakfast when the show began! Asked if there were any birthdays and I said, "yes, Kimi" - her birthday was two weeks ago, but oh well and then Mary said, "Oh, Diane's is on the 16th." So our names were mentioned and they showed us on TV. Mary later realized that it was Peggy's birthday on the 16th and not mine. Oh and well! I enjoyed playing like it was my birthday!

After the show, we all went to my house for lunch! Mary provided the food and it was a lot of fun visiting. I recorded the show and so we watched it again. However, we did fast forward the stuff we didn't want to see again. Thanks, girls, for making it a fun morning! Gotta love YW!

Campus BBQ

Today we had our 2nd Annual Campus BBQ! It was a lot of fun. The theme was "Cowboys" and we were asked to dress up! I think I was the only one that got the email though! It was a lot of fun dressing up and wearing purple. Everyone thought it was funny that I wore my cowboy boots with shorts! Had a purple bandana tied around my neck and Kristina, my niece, let me borrow her purple cowboy hat! Gotta see if she'll let me buy it from her - gotta get me one!

After lunch, some of us were hula hooping - haven't done that in years. One of my coworkers took a picture of me doing it. Will have to post when and if I get the picture! :)
