Spotlight

I am instituting a new segment on my blog. After the success of "Things That Must Go," I have decided to try another running segment but one that is a bit happier. So each month I am going to spotlight a person in my life that is awesome and share why they rock. Read, enjoy, and come back to see if you are the next spotlight.

Michele My Belle

My sister in law Michele is amazing! I have always felt so blessed to have her as a sister. The first quality of Michele that becomes evident upon meeting her is her incredible kindness. She is genuinely warm and caring person. Michele is very soft spoken but when she does share it is always something wise and thoughtful. Michele got her bachelor's degree in Marriage Family Human Development from BYU, and it is pretty evident that she knows what she is doing because her children and insanely smart! Every year when I get the Christmas Letter I expect it to say that my niece Elizabeth has been accepted to Harvard at eight years old. At first I was worried that Michele and I wouldn't have much in common because she does crafts and I have never been good at that, but HOLY COW the women is so talented. Every year I am so blessed to get the coolest crafts from her. I get complimented on them from all my friends whenever they come over to my house. She makes me things I never knew I wanted but I now cherish and can't live without. Thank you Michele for being such a good sister. (I am dying to see what you sent this year, but I am being a good girl and have left them under the tree til Christmas.) The following is just a small example of her hard work.

Michele made these names for the kids this summer and they look super cute on their doors which face each other across the hall.



This was made for Max after he was born. It hangs in his room.



I like this better then any picture of the temple I have. It makes it my temple.



We each got a Christmas Ornament last year. I love the homemade ones the best.



This is my second favorite craft by Michele. It is a calender that has every one's birthdays and anniversary's each month. So I am always on top of things each year. She even sends us updates with each new family member.



My favorite is the fridge Nativity! I leave it up all year long. It is the only nativity we have and the only one I want.
