Family + Crafts

My two weeks of visiting my family in Washington is now over and I am back in Montreal.  To be honest, I'm a little sad to be back - its just so much fun being home and seeing everyone!  And now I have to get back to normal life, which now means looking for a job.  Ugh.  I just got a work visa, which is exciting, but it is tough to find a job here when I don't speak French.  I also have an interview with the immigration people on Thursday.  Its an interview to finalize my permenant residency, which means I will soon be done with all of this immigration stuff! Hooray!

Here I am with my nephew Preston and niece Kenna.  We are good buds. 
While I was home we did some crafts which was lots of fun.  These are my countdown blocks made of wood, scrapbook paper, Mod Podge, and vinyl letters and numbers. I took this picture yesterday so there were 18 days until my mom's birthday! Aren't countdowns fun?
This is my menu board which I will hang in my kitchen.  Its made by putting vinyl letters on a cute piece of scrapbook paper and then framing it.  Super easy!  Since it's a glass frame, you can write your weekly menu on it with a dry erase marker and then just erase it for the next week. I usually write my weekly menu on a slip of paper which gets buried in my purse or lost, so this menu board will be wonderful!
