A Craft Post...

Ok so I thought I would post on some crafts I HAVE accomplished!! That is probably why I am such a bad BAD blogger..I'd rather craft when I do have the time....These are my curtains in my room...this room let me tell ya...is the worse thing in my house!  I hate my room....but I am slowly getting it together sorta like these curtains..which are not even what in my mind will be when fully done...I just added the burlap ruffles to them on the side...like I said...I AM NOT DONE WITH THESE!  Ongoing craft on this one....

I painted chalkboard on some of my jars....so fun

Made my own laundry and dishwashing detergent...and LOVE it!! I added extra things to mine and maybe will post this seperately with a recipe...(don't hold me to it folks)

Aww these are my primary kid's BOM church bag! SUPER CUTE and easy! yes I got released from YW presidency and called to teach 4-5 yr olds...major difference...but I loved YW but something with these kids get me every time!..I love teaching primary one of my favorite callings!

Pretty Bells showing off these super cute leggings I added lace trim too...I know super easy...but I got these "arm" warmers at Styles For Less for 99cents...so my creativity perked up..she gets complimented every time she wears them....and I quietly grin:)

Ok so my new favorite place is Merchant Square! If you haven't gone you need too!! My mom has a booth there so I will go with her now and then and just browse around...it is a "makeover queen"'s dream home! Seriously! They have vintage and old everything....and some that have taken the hard work and done it for you...like this bench..I picked up for 20 bucks!!! I have it in my front porch...I made these super cute pillow..and the burlap one is blank on the other side so I flipped it for November...I know super smart I am:)

October VT handout...I just made some halloweeny bark and put a cute tag on:)

Yes I love burlap these days can you tell?..this was a canvas I got at the DI for 50 cents...I covered it with burlap, made the flower and uses a fluer de les stencil...love it!

Also got this crate at Merchant Square....added the tin piece they had there and stenciled the number, added the balls:)

I have soo much more to post on my fun things but next time:)

Test Taking SuRvIvAl KiTs for the kiddos:)

If you know me...then you know that I LOVE making these kits! I can find SOME reason or excuse to make these and they are SO MUCH FUN!!:) I have done these for my kids for a couple of years now and it seems like they just keep getting bigger and bigger....so this year I decided on the brown lunch bag and thought it fit cute with the school theme and all:) I am going to try my hardest to upload to scribd so everyone can download if they like but in the mean time send me your email and I can send this over as an attachment if you'd like!

Some Fun Stuff Anyone can do with glue and a gun..ha!

Not a very good picture....but got these brown flats over at Gap....and ...well they were a little to blah for me...so I spruced them up with some lace and cheetah trim to make a half rosette and then added a pearl in the middle..super cute!! One looks smaller but I promise they are exactly the same.....:)

{TeAcHeR VaLeNtInE's gift...}

These marshmallow crispies dipped into candy chocolate and sprinkles are a cinch to put together and take no time at all to do...really. I got the cute containers at Michaels and just wrapped them up pretty.....they look cute! The kids were excited to give them to thier teachers!

{Felt BiRtHdAy Crown...!} for Cambrie

Saw this in my files and have always wanted to make one.....Cambrie's 8th birthday is coming up and wanted her to have a fun hat to wear at school on her special day...I'll take pics when she wears it....it is really cute! Can you believe it's all made out of felt....and really no sewing required except I did sew around the circle to make it a little cuter.... It's fun to see her excited about getting baptized soon....I am still looking for her dress, got her scriptures and I know what I am doing for props.....can't wait!!

Cute Teacher gifts....!

I have seen these around the last couple of years online and always thought they were cute but too easy{Yes I know I am weird}.....lucky for me when I am pregnant there are "easy" ideas out there that I am SOOO willing to do..HA! I am sure the teachers will appreciate these cute-sy hand soaps!

October {HaLLoWeEn V.T.} Handout.....!

{UM YEAH} a little late......nothing new, but saw this idea and made my own version....too cute!...If you click on pic. you can get this yummy recipe for the {candy corn} pretzel sticks. It's super easy, and really isn't a recipe..haha!

This is the idea I saw...
Mine looks a little different, because the candy corn sticks are tall....lol It looks a whole heck of a lot cuter in person.....

All about.....BaPtIsMs..!!

Since I am on this scrapbooking thing..along with alot of other "crafty" stuff on my mind, Cambrie turns the big 8 in February and so I have been thinking of things for that. Now I have done this 3 times for my kids and like 7 other times for friends and family members I feel like I do something to the same effect every time...don't get me wrong, each one is different and taylored around that person but I want something different....any ideas?? I am all about traditions, starting them and doing them..so for anyone needing a new tradition for Sabrina's baptism I gave a talk on the Holy Ghost, got my favorite gramma Joyce and she showed me my first sewing lesson and she helped me make a white "comforter" for her and that was very SPECIAL and she loves it.I told her that when she needed to feel "comforted" that she could take this white comforter and wrap it around her, pray for the Holy ghost and that he would touch her heart to help her when she needed it that the Holy Ghost was like this comforter, to feel peace, love and warmth.... I will have to post about her baptism next and show you...so anyways I will probably do that for Cambrie too....
So anyhooo this is Colton's Baptism Scrapook that I made...I like it and think it is really cute..thought I'd share! Next I will do Sabrina's and when I get the baptism album from my good friend Kell who by the way just got baptized 4 weeks ago I will post about that too...FUN!

This is where everyone attending signed.....It also has a section where each one of us wrote down our testimonies for him....

Gotta keep the cards.....

This is his baptism program....

This is his invitation to his baptism...

So I have the big barn stars and decorated the table centerpiece with the stars and pics of Colton the same ones in his book (closeups)...it was cute..being his birthday is in July...!

So any traditions that you do for your kids' baptisms? Please Share..!!

ScRaPbOoKiNg anyone...?

Got together with some girlfriends and did some scrapbooking pages...some of them don't have pics yet..but will put some in...I think they are cute! I wish however that I could say I was a total scrapaholic....which I AM NOT...I find that I have so many kids...TONS of pictures and really just overwhelmed with the whole thing...ugg...someday!!
Also put some fun paper on these notebooks for school for the kids!
