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.

My other daughters 7th Birthday

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.

Daily Nutritional Food Tracker

So just like mostly everyone else in the world, a goal this year is to eat healthier. I already workout 6 days a week, but my eating habits aren’t very good and I’m not getting enough of the healthy foods that are recommended daily. So I came up with the chart below and it really has helped me hold myself accountable and make sure I’m eating my daily doses of Veggies, Fruits, Grains, Dairy and Protein. But the chart below isn’t very cute and I have to print it out every week and forget. So I made the chart above, I printed it off at Costco (of course) , laminated it, and then just check off when I eat something healthy and write down how much water I drank that day with a dry erase marker. At the end of the week I’ll look it over, see how I did, whip it clean and start over.  I made this chart in a 8x11 and ordered it in a 8x12 from Coscto. My lamination sheets are only 9x11.4 or I would have gone a little bigger.
You can buy it here at my Etsy Shop for $2.00.

L's Birthday Invites (Hotel Transylvania)

My little L is turning 8 this month, I can't believe it. We are renting the movie theater here town and watching Hotel Transylvania. Looked for a cute invitation idea, after seeing a few I came up with this, I think they came out pretty cute.

The Plan of Salvation

Next month for YW we will be learning about the Plan of Salvation. Found this poster a couple years ago, changed a few things to it that I thought it needed and had it printed at Costco in a 20x16. For the free PDF file go here.

Scrapbook Week 2

One of my New Year's Resolutions is to get as least one scrapbook layout done per week. I started off the year bad already and missed week one, so here is week 2. These are from 2010, I'm REALLY BEHIND, like 7-8 years. So if I do at least one layout a week I should be caught up in about 3 years, HAHAHA we'll see. 

Young Women Birthday Gifts in a Can

For the YW's Birthday Gifts this year we are give them a Temple Recommend Holder to go along with this years theme "Stand Ye in Holy Places". I saw this idea for the can years ago for something else but thought it would be a cute idea for the YW's gift. So I made a can cover to look like a Campbell Soup can cover, and I think it came pretty close. For the back label I went to Pinterest and found this cool theme label which you can find on this website.

   1) I opened the can from the bottom with one of those newer can openers (like the one to the right, man that thing is dirty, sorry all).
   2) Take the food out.
   3) Take can label off and wash the can.
   4) Put the gift inside (Temple Recommend Holder & Candy).
   5) Reseal the can (with any kind of Super Glue).
   6) Put the new label on and there’s the gift.
   7) UPDATE: make the cans as you need them. We discovered that if the candy was in the can too long that it got a metallicy taste to them. Good luck :)

Hope the YW like them. For the label file go to my Etsy Shop HERE and buy it for $2.00.

Don’t forget to measure your can, the height and width and then adjust the label to match the can. I DIDN'T use a Campball Soup can, I used a bigger/medium size, a can that has the pull top (easy for the girls to open). I used the Wal-Mart brand can fruit with the pull top lids.

What I did for putting the names on the Can Label was I put the YW Birthday Label Picture in a Word document. Then I would put a Text Box over it with NO BOARDER and have it have a CLEAR BACKGROUND. Then I would just type the girls name in the text box. If you need more help just ask, happy to help :)
