Father's Day
Here is what I did for all the Fathers in our ward. I made up the nut label and found the Pop one on another site. The fathers loved the Caramel Corn and for those that can't have sweets I did the nuts. :)

Modesty: Jessica Rey - The evolution of the swim suit
OOOOOOK, I know that I have been gone for a VERY long time, BUT I have made a new goal to Scrap at least one layout per week, unless week are on vacation and I need to start posting things we have been up to with our house, WE HAVE DONE A FEW THINGS, and they are AWESOME!!!
Anyway, I saw something like the above picture but it had the web page printed all over it and you had to pay to get the JPEG, I HATE THAT. So I made my own for our Young Women of our ward and it came out great and I LOVE it. Below is a video of Jessica speaking on Modesty and bathing suites, it is worth watching. Above is a wonderful quote that she makes at the end of the video. Leave a comment with your email if you would like the file.
Enjoy :)

Chore Charts
Okay, for those of you that don't know, I have OCD when it comes to cleaning my home. I like things done a certain way and I feel I'm the only one that knows how to do do it the way I like it. So then I get in a pickle because I'm really the only person that does the housework. So with some counseling and a couple breakdowns I decided to make a chart chart for my two oldest children. I have to let it go, I know it looks like a lot of chores from my children but there's a reason for my madness. We also have an incentive chart were my kids get points when they are good and do extra chores. For each one of these chores that they do they get a half a point. So these are like bonus things that they can do to earn extra points/money. Hope it works.

HEEEELLLLLLLO Everyone, for those that follow my blog, I'm so sorry I've been MIA for 3 months. Life has been happening and I have been in no mood to craft, but I back and SOOOOO ready. I made this this weekend thanks to my SIL's craft day in her ward. I think it came out super cute, I LOVE IT. I really tried to no make it too girly, I think I nailed it. It is made out of fabric, so I have no pattern to share.

Bon Appetit Cover
4 Generation Poster
Child #2 had to do a Heritage Poster for school, child #1 had to do this to in 2nd grade but I improved #2's. This time I added the flags/symbols of countries or nationalities she is, I'm sure there are more but this is all I could think of for my family, I'm a true mutt. Anyway, she loved it and I love the pictures.

FHE Sign
We moved about 2.5 years ago and I'm FINALLY getting more stuff on my walls and here is one that I made couple years ago before I had my craft blog. My sister-in-law had something like this and I LOVED it. I love the pictures instead of names, I like to see pictures of my family all around my home. Anyway, I just rotate it every Monday and since we only have 5 members in our little family and there are 7 spots I printed two family pictures. The family photos don't rotate, my thought was, we all sing and we all eat treats. I also really love the horseshoe nails, I bought them at Ranch and Home, but you can also buy them online.
Scriptures are Meant to be Read Daily
My church calling is teaching the Beehives in YW and our lesson was on daily scripture reading. On Pinterest I saw
this awesome quote/handout that said something along the lines as your
Scriptures are like bread for daily use not like cake for special
occasions. But since I have one girl that is Allergic two gluten, I
changed it up a little bit. And also in my opinion I think you need
water more than you need bread so I changed it from Bread to Water and
from Cake to Juice.

Scrapbook Layout
In 2010 one of my New Year's Resolutions was to try a new recipe every week and like most resolutions I stopped doing it around the second month. I have however started it up again this year and going strong.
Broken Ankle and 3 Scrapbook Layouts
This morning on my morning jog I fell and broke my left ankle. Above is RIGHT after I broke it.
This is about 20 minutes after.
And this is with my lovely new shoe.
So, now that I HAVE to take it easy for 6 weeks I'll be doing so serious Scrapbooking. And since I'm only 4 years behind I guess this is the best time to get caught up. Above is My daughters, Brothers and Dad's birthday.
My son's first haircut.

Guest Bathroom
Last year we redid the girls/guest bathroom but didn't finish it till this week and I am also LOVE IT!!! I love the tile work in the shower and on the floor, the colors, the wainscoting (one going vertical and the other one going horizontal), a deeper tub, we got rid of that big cabinet above the toilet, and we now have a smaller vanity with sink to make more space. I wish you could see how great this teeny, tiny bathroom, it looks AMAZING.
TV Room, Laundry Room and Small Hallway
Since we moved in 2.5 years ago I've been doing painting jobs on and off. I knew that these three rooms would be the biggest painting project of the whole house since they all connect and I knew that I wanted to do something BIG. After looking around I came up with this and I have to be honest, I LOVE IT!!! It came out really good, now this house is starting to feel more like me and a home.
