JASON




Jason loves to play the GUITAR. He recently had his two minute composition played before a live orchestra for one of his finals. It was awsome! I was able to take off work to go and see it:) He does short sound tracks for his brother in law Julio's art animations. He also loves working on projects especially his own compositions.

Amy's Projects








The top two projects are Flower doll sets that I make for my sisters and neices for Christmas presents. What I love most about this blanket is the Tatted edging. This is the first time I have done tatting on one of my projects:) Very exciting I hope to do more in the future.

About Us

I (AMY) am #5 out of ll children. I absolutely love my family and spending time with them. I am married to a wonderful musician named JASON GARTNER who is a the oldest out of five. Jason is a fulltime student at ASU. He is majoring in guitar performance and does compositions on the side. He loves all kinds of music: Classical, Heavy Metal, Jazz, Blues, Flamenco, and much more. We both are Nursary Leaders in our church and love every minute of it. We love our membership in The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-Day Saints. We love being with children.
I am obsessed with the fiber arts meaning crocheting, tatting, knitting and soon to be felting. I love to stay busy with projects. I recently finished two huge projects of crocheting baby receiveing blankets for Kanon and Emme. I am anxious to start Christmas presents. My favorite time of year is Christmas. I love it so much. I love working all year long making gifts for those few moments of excitement that I get to see in my family member's faces when they receive a special gift that I have made for them. I do this to let my family know how much I love and appreciate all the they do for me. I learn so much from each individual. We are so thankful for all the talents that Heavenly Father has given to each of us.
We love our Savior JESUS CHRIST. He is the CENTER of our LIVES. We know that HE LIVES and LOVES all of his children more than we can possibly understand.
I am so thankful for the scriptures. My favorite so far is the Book of Mormon. I still need to study the other books of canon more then I will feel the same for them also. I have a deep appreciation for Joseph Smith and his family,for everything that they did and went through to bring the Book of Mormon to us today. My Favorite chapters in the Book of Mormon are 3 Nephi 11-17 when the Savior appears the Nephites and the people love to be with him all the time, he blesses the sick and the sweet little children. They are so sad to see him leave. One of my favorite verses in the Book of Mormon is 2 Nephi 31:20 "Wherefore, ye must press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hope and a love of God and of all men. Wherefore, if ye shall press forward, feasting upon the word of Christ, and endure to the end, behold thus saith the Father: Ye shall have eternal life. I love this scripture because it tells you everything you need to do in order to return back home to live with Heavenly Father and the Savior again. I don't know of anything more important in this life than that. I am so indebted the them both for giving me such an wonderful life and a loving family who I get to be with for eternity. Words can not describe the gratitude that I feel for my Savior and the great Atonement that he made for all of us so that we might be forgiven of our sins and have some hope of returning back to him. I am very humbled by this.

Today Jason and I went to Tucson to see the Mehlbergs and baby Kanon. It was so much fun and very much needed.
