COMFORT objects


Comfort just included too many things for me. :) I had a billion ideas rolling, but then it came down to this...


In case you can't tell what these things are:


C- The C Is Brandon's hands. HE is comfort to me!
O-White chip macadamia cookie from Subway. EVERY single time I go there, I get one (not that I go every day or anything. But when we do, it's always a given. )
M-My eagle claws (salad/pasta tossers) from my trip to Alaska a few years back. These have a two-fold meaning...one, I find comfort in COOKING. And the other is family. Ever time I look at these I remember the crazy trip my sisters and I were on when we got these. I will always have such fond memories of my sisters...
F-SEWING. I find great comfort in sewing. It is peaceful and I just love creating things. (the objects are a seam ruler and some safety pins)
O-This is a soup bowl I have had for 7-8 years now. :) My mom sent me flowers when I was on my mission and really sick once. This is what the flowers came in. Now, whenever I don't feel good, this is the bowl I go to for whatever I am eating. :)
R-This is to symbolize mac and cheese. I am kind of embarrassed to admit this, but I LOVE MACARONI! Not just homemade. I love the Kraft stuff. I know, completely unhealthy (I DO put veggies in it sometimes) but THIS is so comforting to me. It ALWAYS sounds good...yum.
T-This is paint. If you read my family blog, you already know I have an obsession with projects and painting things. :) It makes me happy. I guess that's really what this is to me...happiness. All these things make me HAPPY---and to me, happiness and comfort seem to walk hand in hand.

I LOVE it!! That is awesome! I love this idea...very creative.

I also find comfort in cooking. It's fun. I like singing and dancing while I cook.

I didn't know you served a mission. Where to?

Great collage

There is seriously nothing fancy pants about this! PROMISE! It's black fabric I bought for $1 a yard. I laid out all my objects to spell out the work and hid Brandon's arms under the black fabric at the end. Then I stood on a chair and took it from the top looking down.

See? EASY--

You are soooooo creative! I wish I had the amount of creativity in your pinkie!

great idea. The only one that is hard to read is the F...the safety pins don't show up as well as everything else.

Where'd you serve a mission?
