Summer sure is jam packed with fun and goodness, and I sure hope you enjoy these pintables today.<br />
<br />
I had a request to make some pintables for a cute friend who is taking some Young Women where she lives in her home state of Wisconsin to Girls Camp with our <a href="https://www.lds.org/?lang=eng">church</a>. She will be using these for some of the devotionals and talks she will be giving the Young Women while they are at camp. <br />
<br />
Since I love summer and Girls Camp so much, I thought I would post them for you all to use as well.<br />
<br />
The pintables are for followers of the blog only, it only takes a minute over at the side bar. (They are for personal use only, not for resale of any kind) <br />
<br />
The link to save them is below the picture. Save them as you would any photo then you can print them at any photo center. They print best as a 4x6 photo size<br />

Relief Society is a womens organization in our church. You can learn more about what we believe<a href="http://www.lds.org/?lang=eng"> here</a> and <a href="http://mormon.org/">here.</a> <br />
<br />
This March when we celebrated our Relief Society Birthday and did it Minute to Win It Style. Our idea started from <a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/123145371032856962/">this</a>. Our theme was how Relief Society helps us find Joy in Every Minute. We played 3 minute to win it games (Caddy Shack, Cookie to the Face, and By a thread) then had two ladies share a short testimony of how Relief Society helped them, followed by a short talk on Joy. Not to mention a massive amount of desserts! Ohhh... the desserts were fabulous! What's a birthday without treats! It was such a fun night. <br />
<br />
We also did a early bird raffle for those ladies that arrived on time. You can find the printable I made below. We used that for our gift. We framed it and wrapped it up for our winner. Here are some picture of what we did to decorate. <br />
<br />
I so wish I had pictures of all the fun as it was happening, but its so hard to remember that when your right in the thick of having fun. However here are a few things we did to decorate...<br />

I so wish I had a picture of these, but at each of our monthly activities we have a small table set up with one simple Emergency Preparedness idea and a family home evening packet for them to take home, that is based on the nights theme. <br />

I loved the look of the deep box from the outside, but knew I wanted it more shallow inside to help me when I embellish it for holidays. So we made the inside like this...</div>

It's so hard to think the soccer season is coming to an end except for the stark reality on those early morning games when we are freezing! My son has two great coaches we wanted to thank for all their hard work and such a fun season. I found these 2 litter water bottles at Walmart for two dollars. That's right, 2 dollars. I couldn't believe it either. Then I added their names to it with a little outdoor vinyl for durability. I also put some York Peppermint Patty's in a cello bag, and made a fun printable to go with it. Hope this free printable helps you thank those great coaches or team moms! <br />

coop with 5 other moms where we each take a week teaching the preschool lesson. Its more like home school preschool. Its so much fun, and he is loving it. The week I teach I knew we would need a place for the kids to put their little book bags and shoes, so we made a fun coat rack preschool sized. <br />
<br />
I found a few ideas on Pinterest, but none of them were exactly what I was looking for. We ended up just merging the best parts of them to come up with what we needed. Here is the tutorial in pictures. <br />

After lots of sanding, primer, paint, hooks, and grip tape we fell in love with our finished preschool sized coat rack. I am happy to say the kiddos love it, it helps keep things organized while I teach preschool. It measures a little over 4 feet in height. It fits 6 little book bags and shoes great, and the kids can reach it all themselves! We love it ! <br />
<br />
Thanks for Visiting and Happy Building! <br />

Howdy bloggy friends! Here's a new project using some fun chalkboard vinyl. I made a quote board for our upstairs loft area. Every six months our church has General Conference where our Prophet and leaders give us some pretty uplifting messages. We are able to view it on TV. You can read more about that <a href="http://www.lds.org/general-conference?lang=eng">here</a>. Anyway, as time approaches I am getting soo excited that its only a few short weeks away! I really wanted something in our home to remember some of those amazing conference nuggets from some of our favorite talks. So I decided to put up some chalkboard vinyl and post quotes from conference to tide us over until the following conference. I so badly want those words spoken to soak up in our kids hearts and to remind them of our leaders council. <br />
Happy Crafting! <br />

Hello friends, its been awhile since I posted. Somehow the summer has slipped right through my fingers and its almost over. I can hardly believe it! Ohh the fun of the summer months. <br />
<br />
We go back to school in 3 short weeks. Before the start of school we have a fun little meet your teacher and drop off all your school supplies day. I made these for the kids to give to their teacher when they first meet. I made the candy bar envelope with my silhouette, but you don't need one to make it, you can always cut the card stock by hand. Hope you and your kiddos have a great first day back to school. <br />
<br />
<br />
Thanks for visiting! Once school starts and those kiddos are back in school, I have two fun projects to post until then, enjoy your summer!! <br />

I know for some school has already ended, we still have a few more weeks till we can enjoy a schedule free life! I can hardly wait!! This year I really wanted to do something meaningful for our teachers to thank them for such a great year! This kids wrote their teachers a letter of thanks, and I wrote a letter to the Principal about how AMAZING the teachers were. Its my hope they will put that letter in the teachers professional files. I also made a copy of that letter to give the teacher as well. Its always nice to hear the compliments said about you, right? Plus, who doesn't like for the boss to know your doing a pretty spectacular job! I sure hope they will love it, we are so grateful for all they have done! As I was writing the letters my eyes were getting a little teary just thinking about how much they have helped my kids grow the last nine months.<br />
<br />
I used my Silhouette and made a purse to send everything to school. An envelope just didn't seem as fun. You don't need a silhouette to make a purse, there is a great tutorial on You Tube <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j_AuA_zHPos">here</a>, that spells it all our for you. Thanks for visiting and happy summer to you!

I can not believe Teacher Appreciation week is in 3 days! Ekk!! It totally snuck up on us this year. At our kids school the first two days of T.A. week is linked to a color. Monday they bring in something red. I knew we were not doing apples-they will get plenty of those. We came up with this red Bath and Body Works Strawberry foaming soap for them to take in. (Bath and body works is having a humungo sale on them right now, so if your behind the 8 ball this year like I am your in luck)! I also included the free printable for our followers to use as well. You can download that <a href="http://www.4shared.com/office/Vj7QXaU3/labels_for_teacher_appriciatio.html">here</a>. <br />

Our computer died on us and had other plans to take those "before" pictures with it. Long story short-they are gone so just picture a white bathroom with nothing in it- K. <br />

Before we moved into our house I found this shower curtain the kids loved. <br />

Next, we picked Benjamin Moores Glacier Blue paint for the walls in eggshell. We had builder grade white paint before. With 3 kids there was no way that thin builder grade paint was going to stand a chance, so painting was a must! Each time I tried to wipe marks off the walls it felt like the white paint came off also-Ekk! This is the color we picked.<br />

Then we took down our towel rack that looked like this, because there is no way it would hold towels for 3 kids, we tried. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and instead of the towel rack we added these "initial" hooks for each child (and one for our guests) I scooped them up from the dollar bin at Michaels awhile back, then I spray painted them Banister Red. Next, we added some white boards with wood we already had at in the garage to section things off, and painted them the same color as all the trim in there. </div>

My daughter didn't think so when she helped us pick out her room color. One of our old neighbors told me about adding paint crystals into your paint for a glitter effect. Once we moved in to our new place we got started working on our daughters room, and decided we should give it a try. <br />
<br />
I was initially a little worried about the glitter. I thought it may flake off and leave a mess on the floor. Seriously, who wants to clean up glitter?! Trust me it doesn't come off! Somehow it shines and shimmers without coming off, even after you rub and rub like the dickens to "make sure". The paint department at Lowe's said if we ever repaint that room in the future, all we had to do was just prime it first. No crazy sanding involved at all! Can you imagine the mess! We are so in love with it I can't imagine ever repainting. Although, I am sure a day will come when a pink room with glitter isn't "cool" anymore. Until then I am going to soak up every minute of our little princess while she's still young enough to enjoy this stuff. <br />
<br />
We picked up 3 little packets of the paint glitter/crystals. So far the only place I know that carries them is Lowe's. The packaging says you only need one or two per gallon of paint, but since we were painting the room a very light pink we wanted to make sure it would sparkle, so we went with 3 of them for extra shine. So glad we did. I would recommend 3 unless you are using a dark color of paint. (just in case you were wondering... they also sell other colors of the glitter/crystals) We liked the silver best for this project.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjuyht7iolQ4FdN6Pa6CrU7CmYWjq-VbJ60tSKWmsIp066RA8_uTNAIeTqO-7j3LqfPd0fAcaQvauhHwjvkBR3k3vMyBaIIFXqBTe_lgnzERl1LOuTTfCZywG2WwYdy4q36xmFxVep0vt/s1600/042397595066xl%255B1%255D.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" gda="true" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJjuyht7iolQ4FdN6Pa6CrU7CmYWjq-VbJ60tSKWmsIp066RA8_uTNAIeTqO-7j3LqfPd0fAcaQvauhHwjvkBR3k3vMyBaIIFXqBTe_lgnzERl1LOuTTfCZywG2WwYdy4q36xmFxVep0vt/s640/042397595066xl%255B1%255D.jpg" width="640" /></a><br />
<br />
We mixed our little hears out. You want to add in a little in at a time, otherwise all the paint crystals will sink to the bottom. Ben used a mixing attachment he has on his drill and it worked wonders. The crystals stay suspended in the paint for sometime. After a few days though, they will sink to the bottom of the paint can. The color we selected for her room was Valspar Apricot Fluff. <br />

<br />
The picture doesn't really capture the sparkle effect as much as you see in person. It sparkles a fair amount during the day with all the natural light that comes in her room, but at night when its dark it shimmers SO much. We just love it. It was almost impossible to capture the glitter effect with the camera, but here is a little of what it looks like. It really shines so much more then the picture shows. It does go on very evenly and is such a fun treatment to any girls room! <br />

I so wanted one to go in our kids playroom! The wood on the right side of the picture below is what we started with. Then the left side shows what it looks like after a few cuts on the saw to give it that pencil shape. So sorry for the picture quality, the pictures of the process were taken with my phone camera. Man, I need to remember to have a better camera on hand. Maybe next time! Hopefully this still helps some though. <br />

I cut some vinyl with my silhouette and walaaa, and over sized Pottery Barn inspired pencil to hang in our kids playroom at a fraction of the cost! <br />

Today I want to share these growth charts we made for a craft show, these collapsible charts were inspired by this <a href="http://www.wannabecrafty.com/2011/04/collapsible-growth-chart.html">post</a>. They have been a little time consuming to make with the painting and glazing, but well worth it. We also did all the tick marks by hand, and I love how it turned out. Then I applied all the vinyl I cut from my silhouette. The pictures do not do them justice at all. </div>
<div style="border: currentColor;">
These growth charts make me want to soak up all the moments even more that seem to go by so fast when you have kids. I love to see them grow into the amazing people they are meant to be, but my heart just melts to see them grow quite<strong> </strong>so fast. We would love to see any projects you use to capture your kids as they grow. </div>

I could sit and soak up every page of cuteness for hours. It's my favorite thing to open the mailbox and find, for sure! <br />
<br />
I saw these and just knew they would make such fun art centers for our nieces for Christmas. <br />

We loved those! We thought we would tweak them a little and make them magnetic boards so the girls could switch out pictures easier, I am not big on having push pins in kids bedrooms. Especially younger kids. It makes me so nervous someone will end up eating one! Maybe its just me, but that's what inspired our little change to them. <br />
<br />

We think they turned out A-ok, I scooped up some magnets at Hobby Lobby that matched the girlies personalities and room colors. We loved seeing their reaction when we did our gift exchange with them. Hopefully they will get lots of great use out of them! <br />

So sorry friends for the hiatus! We are alive and well. Our family moved right before the holidays and its been a whirlwind around these parts unpacking, gearing up for Christmas, and doing oodles of home projects. I can't wait to share those with you!! So now we are back in the groove for more regular scheduled programing!<br />
<br />

We saw the most clever Grandparents chair on Pinterest. Pretty amazing, right! <br />

Well for Christmas Mr. Build It made one for my in laws! They loved it, so do the itty bittys. Hopefully there will be many amazing memories for them rocking away together. <br />
<br />
I wish we had taken more pictures of the "process" but things were so busy for us this is all we ended up with. <br />
<br />
We converted a rocking chair we had for sometime but never used. It was practically new considering the amount of use it got. So we added the side arms to it and before we knew it....It was done.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This time of year is so fun, I love fall! A few weeks before school started I went through the kids drawers to see what still fits and all that back to school clothes hoopla. Well, somehow I found this great orange sweat shirt that still fits our little man. Totally warm and comfy, just plain. So, since my love for all things iron on vinyl is in full swing I knew I had to spruce this bad boy up a bit. This is what we ended up with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Motherhood is amazing, and blissful, and some days down right hairy! I read a post over <a href="http://www.71toes.com/search/label/moments">here</a>, awhile ago about those exact moments I think we all have as mothers. Some days boil over with interruptions and mayhem. Shawni included a quote that I have been madly in love with ever since. It may in fact, be one of my very favorite quotes! It helps me remember that on those days where there are interuptions peaking at me from every corner, and yet nothing seems to be getting done, its alright. It helps me remember to soak up every ounce of my children while I can because they seem to grow up way to fast! Those joyful moments, mixed with all that mayhem and interruptions of life and motherhood, make this mortal journey sweet, and perfect. <br />

I am so in love with the iron on flocked vinyl right now. I love how it turned out, I think he does also.<br />

I downloaded the (CTR) Choice the Right Graphic from the Silhouette store. If you don't have access to vinyl this could also be done using the wax paper stencil tute found over <a href="http://www.skiptomylou.org/2011/03/09/pinch-proof-t-shirt/">here</a>. Happy Crafting! <br />

<br />
She grabbed a canvas, a few heart template, and some oil pastels and there ya have it, a great gift to give to let someone know they are truly loved! Thanks for sharing your idea Denise! <br />

We are moving in a few months...I can hardly wait! We are so excited around here. We still have a few more months, but I couldn't help myself and went ahead and an created this printable to help update our family and friends with our new address. It can be sent as a postcard, or if your like us an updating phone numbers and email address' I'd send that info in an envelope. You can download it free <a href="http://www.4shared.com/file/dCqw_keL/We_Moo-ved_Postcard.html">here.</a> It may be easiest to save it in your picture folder. Its saved as a jpeg file so it should make for easy editing to add your own information on it. You can edit it in word or a picture editing program. Email me if you get into a pickle, I'd be happy to help. <br />

Anyway, she shared a fabulous idea with me the other day, this totally didn't come from my noggin. She made a little book for her daughter chock full of hair styles. Remember when your sitting in the salon and flipping through those hairstyle books. Well, its kinda like that, but for your little princess. She would have her daughter look through her hair book and pick out her hairstyle she wanted to wear that day. Genius! I thought this is so clever, and its going to save oodles of time in the morning. I love that part!<br />
Anyway, I got so excited and had to make one. So, I sat down with my little princess and we searched a few of our favorite hair sites: <a href="http://shedoeshair.blogspot.com/">She Does Hair</a>, <a href="http://www.cutegirlshairstyles.com/">Cute Girl, Hairstyles</a>, and <a href="http://cute2tryhairdos.blogspot.com/">Cute 2 Try Hair Do's</a> . We printed out a few of our favorite do's. It was hard to narrow down so many cute hairstyles! We used one of those $1.00 photo albums you can grab at Walmart or Target to stash the photos in. Then I made a front cover for the album.<br />

I sure hope you had a great July 4th with your family. I know we sure did! Nothing quite like a July 4th party to get you feeling summery. Today I have such a fun treasure to share with you, its actually a GREAT idea my sister in law, Denise came up with. She's always filled with fabulous ideas! Her Grandfather is going into the hospital for surgery and will be staying a few days past his procedure to recover. She wanted to make him something to brighten his spirits and the hospital room! Her idea is a table runner for the room with pictures of all his grand kids. Pretty sweet, huh! I knew you'd love it. This could also be a great idea for anyone that has loved ones in a nursing home or just far from home. <br />
<br />
<strong><u>Here's what she used to get started...</u></strong><br />
Material of your choice for the squares and backing<br />
Material for the trim <br />
Dark iron on photo paper<br />
Go through your online photos and pick your favorites<br />
Batting<br />
Thread to match<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS8eqRAqbvd5my1I0OHI2KDe4XlD4izU01eUT6d1HyzTcuHXyEhOALqhWiI3f-5YXj-9zrNzOw5A1LiWfzHt-w5M4sFK3xJ6Koet0b9AmlWDOq4iR2atjn32cinMsDpxuMq4qJ2Ud_4cf9/s1600/D%2527s+quilt+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS8eqRAqbvd5my1I0OHI2KDe4XlD4izU01eUT6d1HyzTcuHXyEhOALqhWiI3f-5YXj-9zrNzOw5A1LiWfzHt-w5M4sFK3xJ6Koet0b9AmlWDOq4iR2atjn32cinMsDpxuMq4qJ2Ud_4cf9/s640/D%2527s+quilt+2.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Next cut out 6 rectangles out of your fabric (9"x14") This will allow you to print the pictures large enough for the quilt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6NwpHPIhTZLZdBcPx9HBUfMd2qryiLtwTOE-2BGu-_IX7joqO7S-ISPzX2X0cQM76jZhjlUtonsXKuFx482geoFVC4REQ7B5pvJLwNMWi9nNV6G4vuWWSIK-Vc9usniipBrMEaNYJaLIH/s1600/d%2527s+quilt+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6NwpHPIhTZLZdBcPx9HBUfMd2qryiLtwTOE-2BGu-_IX7joqO7S-ISPzX2X0cQM76jZhjlUtonsXKuFx482geoFVC4REQ7B5pvJLwNMWi9nNV6G4vuWWSIK-Vc9usniipBrMEaNYJaLIH/s640/d%2527s+quilt+3.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Cut strips to the length of your squares and sew them together. You can make the trim as wide as you feel looks best.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FP1B4aojIjprMHBIMvJKKEDU7HHBIa9ComlGgqRm0RZj1oY1DqkjtntFwgVEW19-QRMYT_ap8Ok5BPNaVMmHqojBqTytxOnlhZ7koMV-kPixjI9gT_e8sq1X6-ARzEHiLtgAIzYvIghK/s1600/d%2527s+quilt+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="298" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0FP1B4aojIjprMHBIMvJKKEDU7HHBIa9ComlGgqRm0RZj1oY1DqkjtntFwgVEW19-QRMYT_ap8Ok5BPNaVMmHqojBqTytxOnlhZ7koMV-kPixjI9gT_e8sq1X6-ARzEHiLtgAIzYvIghK/s640/d%2527s+quilt+4.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
This is what the top will look like when your done sewing the trim on. Next head to your printer and follow the directions on the iron on paper and print all those cute photos you picked out. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgblftbl362AMOXhvAsj1IEvhMZd9u1SeF5sPnKcox94ImTkvgkt_qWX1cufjjdO9acWOWfKOf3KuFqODIGYoo37FPg3BKD5iGb-3AtJc8G9lA8J9BurkLzSpUuOqNrO3QR5Z_1y_rkzORg/s1600/D%2527s+quilt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="380" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgblftbl362AMOXhvAsj1IEvhMZd9u1SeF5sPnKcox94ImTkvgkt_qWX1cufjjdO9acWOWfKOf3KuFqODIGYoo37FPg3BKD5iGb-3AtJc8G9lA8J9BurkLzSpUuOqNrO3QR5Z_1y_rkzORg/s640/D%2527s+quilt.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br />
Make sure you have all your iron on pictures completed and in place. Then cut the batting and material for the back to size, and sew it all together. <br />

I have read oodles of Linda Eyres books on parenting. When I came across an essay <a href="http://powerofmoms.com/2011/04/love-more/">she wrote</a>, I knew I just <em>had</em> to read it. The article talked about how easy it is to "love more" when things are going wonderfully. When things start to get a little hairy that's when its not always easy to do. <br />
I thought about all the daily experiences I have as a mother. I thought about how easy it is to get frustrated when my two year old dumps an entire container of lemon aid mix (82 oz) all over the kitchen floor twice, or when the fussing starts right as I am trying to prepare dinner.Those are the moments as a mom I needed that little reminder to love more, and exercise a bit more patience. So I decided to make this little number to help with that. Since making it, I have also seen the seen the kids exercising a "love more" attitude also, and that's brought such a smile to my heart. It really has brought that sense of peace every time I see it. <br />

I made the sign using the square flourish frame from the Silhouette shop, and the font is Pare, I think? <br />
