The other night was my friend Lisa's 30th birthday. So she had a "L" party where everyone had to dress up as something with the letter L. I was a leopard and my husband was Leatherface. Here are some pics from our awesome night. :)

I have really got into reading Pretty Little Liars book series. I do not have a bookmark and I'm sick of turning the corner of the page to hold my place. So I thought I would make a bookmark. :)
If you would like to make one here is what you will need.
1. Water color paper
2. Water color pencils
3. Pencil
4. Glue
5.Black marker
6. Paper clip
7. Tape
8. Cup of water
9. Small paint brush
First I sketch out what I want my bookmark to be. I am making a ice cream sundae.
With my water color pencils I color in my sundae.
With a small paint brush that I dip in water I then blend the colors.
I out line the sundae with a black marker.
Cut out the sundae.
Glue sundae together.
On the back of the sundae I taped a round paper clip.
And there you have it an ice cream sundae hand made bookmark!! :)
Its almost the end of winter here in New Zealand. So Me(Betsy) my fiance Troy and his son Maddox decided to go on a winter getaway. We stayed at Wood Pigeon Lodge in an awesome hut. The hut is in a town called Raurimu just 25 mins from Mount Ngauruhoe and Mount Ruapehuwhere we went snow sledding. This was the perfected trip from the weather to the accommodations to the company. I would not chance a thing but to have stayed longer. Here are some pics and info of our trip!! :)

View of Mount Ruapehu from The Hut. Mount Ruapehu is an active volcano at the southern end of the Taupo Volcanic Zone.
Sunset.
Me at the Kiwi sign with Mount Ngauruhoe behind me on the way to snow. Someone painted the skies on the kiwi :). Mount Ngauruhoe was used in The Lord of the Rings film as Mt Doom.
Me & T-roy :) T-roy grow his beard just for the tip.
The views....pictures don't do it justice. It was breathtaking.
Peek-a-BOO!!!
T-roy & I.....Maddox took the picture he was so proud.
Maddox and Icey the snow man!! Maddox named him :)
Maddox and I sledding.
Raurimu Rex is constructed from river driftwood by a local man who has made many driftwood sculptures around town. Maddox is into his dinosaurs right now that every time we pasted Raurimu rex he word yell out "T-REX!!!!!"
Tongariro National Park is located near the base of Mt Ruapehu.
The village has great views of Mt Ruapehu, Mt Ngauruhoe, and Mt Tongariro.
It was so cold and windy by I just had to get a picture.
The Raurimu Spiral is a single-track railway spiral,
with two tunnels, a circle and three bends then going round a 180° bend then in a horseshoes curve.
We looked all over the hills for the tunnels and fond one. It was so scary. The tunnel was so dark looked like something out of a movie.
