temple square!

last night some friends and i decided to brave the cold and take a stroll around temple square to see the christmas lights. so worth it!

some of the group waiting in the joseph smith memorial building before heading out to the square...mike, jarrett, me, jeff, natalie, allen, emilye, staci

some of my favorite lights were by the assembly hall

i love to see the temple!

afterwards we went to hatch family chocolates up in the avenues for the best hot chocolate i've ever had in my life. seriously. i'm still salivating this morning. if you are ever in salt lake, i highly recommend this place!

my latest project

so, in keeping with the crafting kick that i'm on, i decided to spruce up my bathroom a little. (it was looking pretty sad!) inspired by a picture i saw on pinterest, i made these vases with a little jute and some ibc root beer bottles. here's the finished product...

it's amazing what a shower curtain and some vases can do to a bathroom!
