So here it is my first finished scarf. I'm so proud of that thing it took me a long time to get it done. It's a christmas gift for one of my nieces. Then I went over to katies house tonight and we made ukranian eggs. They are awesome you dye them like easter eggs then you use wax and make your design then you dye the color you want then use more wax to cover what color you want to stay. It's just a process of dying waxing and then repeating till you have a finished product. Then when you are all done you have to blow out the inside of the eggs. That is one process you have to see. It's so cool. Another project katie has taught me. I made some fall and some halloween and then some everyday eggs. It took us about 4 hours to finish them. I can't wait to see my niece with her scarf on she will be a little doll.

These are pictures when we went to gainsville at the butterfly rainforest and then we went on a 7 mile canoe trip that took us through 4 springs. We stopped at Poe Springs first we swam in the water which the temperature was about 30 degrees. We were really cold. At the natural springs the water is so clear you can see everything at the bottom even when we canoed on the river you could see everything in the water because it was made up of mostly spring water. The canoe trip took us about 5 hours to complete. It was so awesome to see.





Here are some more pictures of matt and I in Florida. We had such an amazing time. Can't wait for the opportunity to go again.
