When in Texas...

...you must eat steak.

Jeremy, Tracy, Bobby, and Samantha

Bobby and Samantha stopped by for dinner Friday night on their way from KC to Galveston. They decided to take a little road trip to celebrate their anniversary. Eighteen years. Woohoo! Jeremy and I are catching up. This year is lucky number 13. We usually try to sneak away for our anniversary but it looks like we're staying home this year. September has been super busy and I don't think October will be any different. It won't be so bad to just have a weekend at home without any plans. We are going to see U2 in concert so that should be fun.

I "borrowed" the pictures from Samantha's facebook. Thanks, Samantha!

Blog extended leave of absence

Obviously, we have been on an extended leave of absence here at the onetreefam blog. Actually, come to think of it, I don't believe Jeremy has ever posted on the blog. Bad Jeremy. Since I have not been a very good blogger, I'm thinking about turning the blog into more of a craft blog. I have been doing a lot of stamping (with rubber stamps not the post office ones) over the past couple of years, making cards, wrapping paper, and small 3D items (gift bags, party favors, etc.). Basically, everything but scrapbooking although I am tempted to try my hand at that as well. First, I need to take some photography classes to learn how to use my fancy schmancy camera so I have decent photos to put in a scrapbook. I have a good eye but need to learn the technical aspect of taking good pictures, especially inside. If you know of any good photography classes in Pearland or Houston, let me know.

For now, here are a few pictures of what I've been doing in my spare time.

I'm hosting a Stampin' Up! party on Saturday, September 19th at my house. Let me know if you want to come. Carolyn will demonstrate new techniques and you'll make two or three projects to take home...plus, there will be snacks.
