I haven't updated everyone on what we have been up to for a while so here is a really long picture post of things we've been doing and have done for the past year or so! Hope you Enjoy!
I drew these and made coasters for my coffee table to go with our living room theme.
I am still working on two more to finish the set.
I've been enjoying cooking and experimenting and trying new recipes! This one above is vegetarian "meatballs." Made with oatmeal, eggs, cheese, and spices. They are so tasty.
These cookies were an experiment with something I've wanted to try. I replaced the butter with beans. So I used one can of white beans instead of one cup of butter. They came out super soft, fluffy and yummy!
I found a great honey whole wheat bread recipe that we have been loving!
Bike display
Raincoat display
These are some pictures of the display's I did at work! I've been really loving my new position at Scheel's! I finally get to put all my creativity to good use! It is really fun! I get to make displays, dress mannequins and various other things!
Scooter display
Sometimes we do florals for displays or just to make the store look pretty!
Another bike display. One of my areas is the bike section so I do a lot within that area.
Another area I have is the youth section. This is a display I did for a kids shoe table.
Went on a hike with my friend from work, who moved out of state. So Sad!
Belle's Canyon
Got an amazing shot of the suns rays coming over the mountains.
Tim and I have been loving this vegan cafe downtown called Frisch! They have the best nachos! Everything there is super tasty and so fresh!
We went to the They Might Be Giants concert! I loved it because no other bands played and we got to hear more songs from TMBG. They were very funny!
We also went to the All Time Low concert! I was so excited for this one, they are my favorite band! They put on an awesome show! We have several other concerts we are going to coming up as well.
My halloween decorations.
Christmas at Tim's parents house.
Tim and I went to the Online Film Awards.
Me with my press pass for Salt Lake Comic Cons FanX.
We are super excited we got accepted as professionals to the San Diego Comic Con in July, and we are looking forward to that experience!
Tim moderated a muppets panel at Comic Con and some muppets decided to show!

Tim recently made the improv team at SLCC. This is Tim and his producing partner with two other members of the improv team in this silly video.
I've done a couple more photo shoots. These are several of my favorite shots.
My friend Jenni was super fun to photograph. She put up with me getting use to a new camera.

I loved this photo shoot I did with the gorgeous Ellie, my friend from work. She did a great job modeling, and took the time out of her day off for me to do her makeup and hair for this!
I've been having fun doing stuff for Vanella's Runway, my fashion and makeup blog.
I do outfits of the day on Instagram and Vanella's Runway Facebook page.
