My Mom's Finished Claddagh Pillow

So I did finish my mother's clyder ring pillow mentioned a few posts ago before Easter like I had hoped to. I just couldn't edit the pictures on my phone so it took a little while to get this post together. I wasn't sure how she would react but when I gave it to her, but she reacted pretty well. She smiled and then cried. It sits right in the middle of her bed now, right under her vine photo holder with only one photo. =)

Below are the ones that I took while I was still at school. They are not good at all, but I just figured I'd put them up. My desk is a little bit of a mess though, I'm sorry about that. 

My Fantastic Parental Valentines: Part 2

So my Mom's package arrived today and I said I'd share with you what She sent me. It took me 15 minutes to get the box open. She and one of my younger sisters love tape =) She is a little more practical than my dad and sent me food!!! Not that I don't love my Dad's more sugary assortment. My parents are like the opposite side of a very awesome coin. Got microwavable rice for a while now =)

The orange packets are microwavable rice which is what I eat if I don't have time to get to the Student Union Building or it's after hours and closed. The roasted chicken variety, of which there are 3, are my favorites and I'm sure that's why Mom got me more of that flavor than any other. Also she sent Peanut m&m's which I love. Yellow and Blue are my favorites. I'm looking forward to the Hershey mini's too, the assortment will keep me from getting bored =) The huge XOXO is probably my favorite just because its a huge hunk of solid chocolate in the shape of love. My parents rock! I know most teens wouldn't say that, but its true. Post again soon =)

My Fantastic Parental Valentines

So my parents are awesome =) they knew I wouldn't be home for valentines day so both my parents sent me big packages full of valentines day stuff. Mom mom's hasn't arrived yet, but I'd like to share what my Dad sent and I'll add my Mom's tomorrow or whenever it gets here.

 

This is a picture of all the stuff arranged on my laptop. There is an owl paddle ball, sweetheart, a heart shaped bendy straw cup, heart cups and napkins, chocolate lips, two New York puzzels cause my school is close to New York, two cards, Valentine's Day themed Wack-a-packs (in video below), four heart shaped boxes of chocolates, and seed beads for my crafting =) Isn't he awesome? It was a total surprise too

 These are Wack-A-Packs. They are Valentine themed so they say things like "Bee Mine", "100% Love", "All I need is your Love", and "I love you forever". The instructions on the package said 1) wack packet, shake, and drop on ground 2) Wait. The one that worked best I don't have a recording of, but here's what two of them looked like. The balloon that pops out fills up a bit more and become hard. The Bee mine one is shown in the big picture up top.
