Her husband plays baseball for SVU and they love baseball so there really wasn't a question of what the theme should be. It was a lot of fun! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-3kMFK7CDJ6d3yuMmXhC-P6rh0hIYx09uQfPwcbNyck19nx-qDfDUaWri2Kxy5v3j9NKwwe2W5rDn5uCY2zOYJujIo0SjKLQPj32cMVEG3qiwWRY8NjLudFVGrOYPYrtIy2vS6adDWWV/s1600/DSC_0123.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH-3kMFK7CDJ6d3yuMmXhC-P6rh0hIYx09uQfPwcbNyck19nx-qDfDUaWri2Kxy5v3j9NKwwe2W5rDn5uCY2zOYJujIo0SjKLQPj32cMVEG3qiwWRY8NjLudFVGrOYPYrtIy2vS6adDWWV/s400/DSC_0123.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Since it was a baseball theme, I made baseball food (fries, peanuts, popcorn, m&m's, cherry limeade, rootbeer and cream soda. I also made baseball cupcakes.). The banner I made says Oh Baby, but I asked my hubby for assistance in hanging it and it ended up Baby Oh. lol </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

You can kind of see the baseball cupcakes I made a bit better in this shot. I wish I would have taken a closer picture of them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We also played a few games. One was the clothes pin crossing game. This game everyone starts out with a certain number of clothespins then if someone catches you crossing something you have to give them a clothespin. The person with the most clothes pins in the end wins.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">We also did a game with cotton balls (which represent little baseballs) and a spoon. The mom to be has a bowl of cotton balls on her lap and an empty bowl or basket on her head. The object of the game is to get all 5 cotton balls in the basket while blind folded. The problem I had with this game is that the cotton balls all seemed to stick together so in retrospect I would have had the person who got the most in win. It was pretty funny though.</div><br />

She ended up giving it to me instead (Thanks Amanda). I wish I would have taken a before picture, but I didn't. It was plain brown with a baseball and bat holder where the name is. I just took of the baseball and bat holder, painted it white, then put the baby's name where the holder used to be using my cricut (plantum school book cartridge) and blue vinyl. I then found some plain wooden picture frames at the dollar store. I painted them white and tacked a ribbon to the back so they would hang. I then cut a small piece of ribbon and tied it to the center of the top. I asked Brandy for her favorite ultrasound pictures. the bottom 2 were too small so I just used some blue paper to fill up the space. It was a lot of fun to make! I hope she liked it! </div><br />

They had some cokes in glass bottles. (Thank you Skeens for the bottles! You made Sky very happy!) Then I had a stroke of genius! Fill 'em up with water and food coloring, all at different levels, and hand Sky a spoon! I'm sure someone else somewhere has done this, but I thought it was awesome! She had a blast with this and it kept her busy for awhile. If you don't have glass bottles on hand you could always use glass cups or jars. Sometimes you can find mason jars at thrift stores (Goodwill, DI, etc.) that would work also. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

She has been on a very independent kick lately. She has to dress her self and do her own hair. Which can be very helpful.......or a fashion disaster. We didn't leave our house today so I thought "Ehhh what the hay?" and let her wear the pure amazing fashion disaster. You don't think it looks bad here, but there is a big reason you can't see her bottom half....scary! I love letting her be creative and be in control of her own look. I try to only step in when necessary. She's only 4 so it's cute right?! :) Thanks for reading!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264958588058823435.post-82819222123847828652011-10-31T07:09:00.000-07:002011-10-31T07:09:41.520-07:00Happy Halloween!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQIJhz9fqmeRWFWkTLN_7vER2i-FMbQu_-s4ywJY3ZPm-BNa2zG9qNUY3WHtdCZGaQFcT1-Xl2XPG5fxhCzLQWlEdIAV5DhBBa81tHyqHFzDLQxmgfpPatkEtgFa4Q4MRH3I-XZ7a_-RW/s1600/Halloween+2011.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyQIJhz9fqmeRWFWkTLN_7vER2i-FMbQu_-s4ywJY3ZPm-BNa2zG9qNUY3WHtdCZGaQFcT1-Xl2XPG5fxhCzLQWlEdIAV5DhBBa81tHyqHFzDLQxmgfpPatkEtgFa4Q4MRH3I-XZ7a_-RW/s400/Halloween+2011.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>Happy Halloween everyone! I thought I would do a post today with our Halloween costumes. My hubby and I made ours. I haven't been feeling the best so I didn't really want to tackle Sky's princess bat costume.

There's not much you can dress up as with a big ol' pregnant belly. So this is what I came up with. We just found a jersey looking shirt at Walmart, stamped Jimmer on the back and glued a Y symbol on the front. For mine I found a shirt that I could ruin, cut a basketball in half and glued it to the shirt where my belly poked out. It was a bit bigger than I am, but it still looked pretty good. For the net I just used a mesh laundry bag and cut the bottom off then cinched up the top. We wore this to our ward's trunk or treat party and it was a hit!<br />

I didn't get a picture of her doing this craft, but it's super easy! I just traced both of her feet onto white paper then let her cut them out herself. She then drew faces on the ghostie feet then glued them to the yellow paper. Then she stamped some Halloween stamps on to the paper. We are working on writing her name so I had her write her name at the bottom too.<br />

Next is spider hands! All we did was trace her hands on black paper, she cut them out (I had to help her with cutting by the fingers), drew faces on them then glued them onto the orange paper. Last year for Halloween I bought a bag of spider webs from Walmart so I cut off a few small pieces of that and stretched them out. She then glued them to the corners and drew a line from the web to the spider. Then she stamped Happy Halloween down the middle.<br />

Super easy and fun! I love this craft too because you will be able to look back in the years to come and see how small their little feet and hands are. We had a blast doing this little craft!<br />
<br />
Happy Halloween and happy crafting!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264958588058823435.post-33283323940259255302011-09-30T11:16:00.000-07:002011-09-30T11:16:41.136-07:00Spooky!I must admit that I LOVE Halloween! I've always loved it! My hubby doesn't love it nearly as much as I do so that's why Sky and I plastered our house with Halloween decor while he was at class. We are sneaky sneaky, I know. ;) I have a tutorial of a fun Halloween craft for you just to get you in a spook-tacular mood. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
What you will need:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkXc0sk16cpTntCwZwE6I001fEFVBMjU1yWqMHIFPHotBuhjy4bUBGLCRfOvxqG3exliY5h-v5iKR2lzbO0DRgkBKDmImNTNdYNoW3EMVPwcPTeDnIOfqFmtya23F_d4rgK-TRs6Fghl9a/s1600/DSC_0177.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkXc0sk16cpTntCwZwE6I001fEFVBMjU1yWqMHIFPHotBuhjy4bUBGLCRfOvxqG3exliY5h-v5iKR2lzbO0DRgkBKDmImNTNdYNoW3EMVPwcPTeDnIOfqFmtya23F_d4rgK-TRs6Fghl9a/s320/DSC_0177.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
A hot glue gun, hot glue, a candle stick holder and a small round jar of some sort. I got both my candle stick holder and jar both from the dollar store. I bought that last of the candle stick holders sadly enough and they haven't gotten anymore in, but when they do I will make more of these!<br />
<br />
Step 1:<br />
Put hot glue all around the top of the candle stick holder.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJilDJ6dPlfliHNWHkbiOZNonXhS8vq95wkfLiI7i5De7gt9jyhze_EisCGSYcnlyUv96uqpXrzCrj6HxE0NqMSVkCsqeqq0lg741sN6Azu_nVzfKTnQn1BSXfnDMB-Mv2zkFHIhtHGu-4/s1600/DSC_0179.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJilDJ6dPlfliHNWHkbiOZNonXhS8vq95wkfLiI7i5De7gt9jyhze_EisCGSYcnlyUv96uqpXrzCrj6HxE0NqMSVkCsqeqq0lg741sN6Azu_nVzfKTnQn1BSXfnDMB-Mv2zkFHIhtHGu-4/s320/DSC_0179.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Step 2:<br />
Place the glass jar on the glue. Make sure that it is centered before you put it down on the holder.<br />
<br />

There you go! Piece of cake! I love this because it's so easy and so cute! You can tie ribbons around the bottom if you choose, or leave it be.<br />

<br />
You could even add some eyeballs! :) I found these bubble eyeballs at the dollar store and thought they would be perfect for this project! I need to buy some more next time I go to fill it up. The total cost of this craft was $3.00 (eyeballs included).<br />

Here are a few more things in my Halloween decor that I have made!<br />
<br />

This Spooky canister is probably one of my favorites! I made it last year, but I love it! I got the canister long ago from Roberts. I then choose 2 scrapbook papers that I liked and cut them into 3'' strips. I then distressed the edges and glued them to the canister with mod podge. They all overlapped a bit. Then I pulled out my old school foam stamps and picked out the letters that I needed for the word "Spooky" all from different fonts. I stamped on the word Spooky with black craft paint that I got from Archivers. If you get some on the edges of your letters not to worry 'cause it makes for great distressing! I distressed next to the word Spooky with black paint. After the paint was fully dry (it is very important to let the paint dry all the way so that it doesn't smear). I then painted mod podge over the whole canister. While that was drying I cut out a piece of paper for the lid. I painted the top of the lid black, mod podged the paper to the lid, then distressed it with white paint. I really love how this craft turned out!<br />

I found this glass jar at my parents house. It had some nasty flower thing with perfume stuff in it so my mom was going to throw it away. I snatched it from her, threw that flower away and washed it out really well. I thought that it would look cool with some glow in the dark snakes that I found, once again, at the dollar store. {I love the dollar store!} My husband didn't notice this until one night when he turned off the lights the snakes started glowing and it freaked him out a bit.

There are so many wonderful and creative ideas on there! I just can't get enough! Anyway, while browsing around on pintrest I came across these ribbon dancing ring things. I thought they were so cool! You can go <a href="http://www.instructables.com/id/Dancing-Ribbon-Rings/">here</a> to see the original. I really liked the idea, but I didn't have any wood rings. I saw some pipe cleaners and got inspired! <br />

I had lots of crafts and activities planned for the beginning of the winter, but the cold weather in Rexburg lasts a little longer than other places we've lived. So, towards the end of the season it was a lot easier just to turn movies on. Now that it's finally warm I am trying to keep the TV off and do more productive things. We are outside for most of the day, but Kenedi and I have some time together while Macy takes a nap! This is a fun craft we did the other day that both the girls loved! Yarn Dolls! I made these when I was a kid! I loved the American Doll Kiersten (the pioneer one) and I got a book of fun pioneer crafts when I got the actual Kiersten doll and it had instructions for these dolls! You will need some yarn, scissors, and a piece of cardboard (I had just opened a new home fragrance thing, so I just used the box it came in:) <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDyc0em9NTEaRFHR2PsPw_lkLbi7ldbbMMOaXS_pdXKkQAxjQjsvIrYMs2HjWZuMeXc-cyxBMH-jGgfX9qz-s6oonY7Gn1O0nxUV1e_nfn4Acz0ur1omuGlD7k6S3jUQ_LqrENqw2tpUc/s1600/DSC_0903.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

I found a kids T shirt at Walmart for $1 but it was a size large, which is way to big for my little girl. It was only $1 and really cute so I bought it anyway. My daughter loves to wear dresses right now and will only wear dresses and skirts. She REFUSES to wear shorts or pants. So I decided to turn the shirt I bought into a "princess" dress. It was really simple and fun to make! I'll show you how I did it, but I forgot to take pictures while I was doing it (I was inspired by an idea and got caught up in the moment, happens often when it comes to crafts). With that being said, please forgive me for my lack of detail in the pictures, they were taken after the dress was finished. So here goes!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcaMYbfAXZvTnJF35iZwqV0NWS65LnCEJGwnjExG_ZW-hvT9eLBiI8GQN28YKYMdAqOmSEJ2LnbYvsmlVJE-eCEa5dyU-gss29GP4dZRJA4ByovAqhe00_z_mwtNrhz0kAcrYHSXVRu610/s1600/DSC_0121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcaMYbfAXZvTnJF35iZwqV0NWS65LnCEJGwnjExG_ZW-hvT9eLBiI8GQN28YKYMdAqOmSEJ2LnbYvsmlVJE-eCEa5dyU-gss29GP4dZRJA4ByovAqhe00_z_mwtNrhz0kAcrYHSXVRu610/s320/DSC_0121.JPG" t8="true" width="214" /></a></div>First you need a shirt. You can even use one of your old T shirts to make a dress for you little girl. <br />
<br />

Next lay the dress on top of the folded in half shirt like you see above. Next, cut the shirt to match the dress. If it has sleeves (like this one does) you want to cut off the sleeves and sew them back on later. I left mine a little bit wider and longer since she has been growing so much lately. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

I straight stiched mine then went back and zig zag stitched it since I don't have a serger. Then you want to line up your sleeves. Make sure both the sleeve and shirt are both turned inside out. Line up your sleeve and pin it all around. Then sew the sleeves to the shirt. For this part I also straight stitched and zig zag stitched. <br />

I used a small spool of thread and a spool of ribbon to make a small circle and a larger circle. I just traced the spools then cut out the circles.<br />

I used a pack of dollar store headbands (thick and thin) and some fat quarters that I found in Walmart. Go <a href="http://cally-cruze.blogspot.com/2010/02/easy-headband-tutorial.html">here</a> for the tutorial. <br />

My power cord for my computer broke so I haven't been able to update in awhile. After waiting, and waiting, and waiting, and waiting, (long story) the right part came today. HOORAY! My little girl and I have been up to a lot so be prepared for an update overload! :) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">First off, I have a tutorial. It's kind of lame, but we were bored and I needed a craft, so I looked at my supplies and came up with an idea to make a book with matching popsicle sticks that Skyli can follow along with. So......</div><div align="left" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">This is what you'll need (I didn't use the whole punch, but if you could use it and tie the pages together with a ribbon or with one of those ring clip things)......</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLPQ1MdSwB2AXbN1Y-XwKFgjyFemKOkTAtI7m2kngFWQ9kmXXDOG_QcOfbIgWb6BcmAKu0k-WcJ1nw1sKmcWpUcOxQ1Lz0CFVP-tmiRuxv1DQTncqDkOzR6Ol0HgLDyX9xlBLwkc1Rmoy/s1600/DSCN1773.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" i8="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOLPQ1MdSwB2AXbN1Y-XwKFgjyFemKOkTAtI7m2kngFWQ9kmXXDOG_QcOfbIgWb6BcmAKu0k-WcJ1nw1sKmcWpUcOxQ1Lz0CFVP-tmiRuxv1DQTncqDkOzR6Ol0HgLDyX9xlBLwkc1Rmoy/s320/DSCN1773.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

I am missing a few pictures, so sorry about that! Just cut your paper into fourths then staple it across the top. (I started out with one staple, but didn't like how the pages turned with one staple so I added 2 for a total of 3 staples) You could also staple on the side. Then I made up my own story and wrote it on there. I bought a huge thing of foam stickers from walmart. They are all spring related, so our book is titled Spring!<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I started with March and wrote a couple of things that happen in March, April, and May then I wrote about what happens during springtime. I left room for stickers so Sky could help me put the stickers on the page. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I know the story and artwork are A-MAZ-ING! haha What can I say? I'm a crafter, not an author or an illustrator. Sky then helped me by coloring the cover and then by putting stickers on the pages. Like on the April page we put an umbrella sticker, etc. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
Then we took popsicle sticks and stuck the stickers on them, so that she could find and hold up the popsicle stick that matches the page. There will be some sticky stuff exposed after you put the sticker onto the stick. Here's how you can fix that. Take a little bit of flour and put it in a bowl, then rub the sticker side of the stick in the flour. Next tap off the excess flour and it shouldn't be sticky anymore. <br />

First game is the " Egg Color Matching" Just mix and match the eggs, and have your child match the colors! </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigUY8myfO8h3zblC9s5Z7yK6xqO6_tUMfCdexKxXjHmW7WgLUgETq2ZZquvVY4ixryDvgS6ozgnNqRy4a-E221UUzvt4X2NQ_wpZxPdtZtr-KQQuN73yto8kUtuqKqfXWlV2uu200pc8Q/s1600/DSCN4422.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597110009592627554" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigUY8myfO8h3zblC9s5Z7yK6xqO6_tUMfCdexKxXjHmW7WgLUgETq2ZZquvVY4ixryDvgS6ozgnNqRy4a-E221UUzvt4X2NQ_wpZxPdtZtr-KQQuN73yto8kUtuqKqfXWlV2uu200pc8Q/s320/DSCN4422.JPG" /></a> <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8UDgNGQdPrEZz7-1RrRo5VTICm70P9OHpOJcXTrkmu3n-Mcn5FmB0FljuoWHDUFbyGZ08CHW-4lV2zND34yZ6iPB8-TWMx-qWDbU8Cg8g9s_9eDMTgk7oLMtDD5gmPxkFjrEXDhBOoNc/s1600/DSCN4423.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597110006088538482" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg8UDgNGQdPrEZz7-1RrRo5VTICm70P9OHpOJcXTrkmu3n-Mcn5FmB0FljuoWHDUFbyGZ08CHW-4lV2zND34yZ6iPB8-TWMx-qWDbU8Cg8g9s_9eDMTgk7oLMtDD5gmPxkFjrEXDhBOoNc/s320/DSCN4423.JPG" /></a> My daughter loved this!! <br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5NjG66M85DeoJLoW6Tj4CcJl12vU7onP_SEhqCMWaNHPIpVP4Mv0wl5H7vZPogkfCbSaT7V6a5Sq7jCZ05YFIp6HJJMs6DVLi3Uv03Bgu2AAxABEHNg1hieGPRJ_JExhXzkAzLgjz_Bg/s1600/DSCN4424.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5597109990961442546" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5NjG66M85DeoJLoW6Tj4CcJl12vU7onP_SEhqCMWaNHPIpVP4Mv0wl5H7vZPogkfCbSaT7V6a5Sq7jCZ05YFIp6HJJMs6DVLi3Uv03Bgu2AAxABEHNg1hieGPRJ_JExhXzkAzLgjz_Bg/s320/DSCN4424.JPG" /></a> This was one especially for my baby!

Just get your eggs ( I'll just tell you now, you'll need 26 eggs, I had to ask my husband how many letters were in the alphabet. Embarrassing!)</div><br /><div>Just like the color matching game, you mix and match the eggs, then have them match the Capital, and lowercase letters together!! SO FUN!!! </div><br /><div>If you have kids (any age) you <strong>NEED </strong>to download this ebook!! It has so many incredible, inexpensive ideas for crafts you can do with your kids!

Just cut the pendants out (I just eyeball the first one, then use it as a stencil for the rest of them). I hot glue it to whatever ribbon, or string I have and hang it up!

I had an idea one night to try and make a jelly bean topiary. I found all of the stuff at Walmart except the ribbon (I had it on hand) and of course the stick. I started out by painting a little flower pot (my 3 year old helped me with this). I then glued the stick into the foam ball that I got from walmart in the silk flower section. I then hot glued all of the jelly beans on the ball. This took the longest to do! In retrospect I would have painted the foam ball before I started gluing just because you can see the green under the jelly beans. Because the topiary was so heavy once I had all of the jelly beans on it I had to put a bunch of rocks in the bottom so that it wouldn't tip over. I glued some foam to the pot on top of the rocks, then glued the stick into the foam. <br /><div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9-am5hnfyZRjbmsXvnuSRhc_zyR6NB7NkOowrPerkixdlHM8JGpRnT-rNPgC2wF8HbWfLoDon-lk1qFR5CqKNwZ872Pm2N5x8lEIRLyrR7PBpN-amu5p2epQdKATtOAxMf0G50w5O4mLf/s1600/DSC_0018.JPG"></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9-am5hnfyZRjbmsXvnuSRhc_zyR6NB7NkOowrPerkixdlHM8JGpRnT-rNPgC2wF8HbWfLoDon-lk1qFR5CqKNwZ872Pm2N5x8lEIRLyrR7PBpN-amu5p2epQdKATtOAxMf0G50w5O4mLf/s1600/DSC_0018.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 268px; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592152611324049906" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9-am5hnfyZRjbmsXvnuSRhc_zyR6NB7NkOowrPerkixdlHM8JGpRnT-rNPgC2wF8HbWfLoDon-lk1qFR5CqKNwZ872Pm2N5x8lEIRLyrR7PBpN-amu5p2epQdKATtOAxMf0G50w5O4mLf/s400/DSC_0018.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>I really don't like how you can see the green foam.

I had the paint, knob and vinyl just laying around from previous projects. </div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTvFVSw7-pwind0KXbIAwCC4bVGozevW7SVFyZ8xKI8kz-omR47CHzYozi30lCFkMNKrmYOUN5aKKS0laQr6Lh4uh-sS0vdgpgt2SqoOnUtVjq6ZpZu6T7uh_kF3nKeo-4-DYLurBo-fz3/s1600/DSC_0010.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 268px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5592146705009109586" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTvFVSw7-pwind0KXbIAwCC4bVGozevW7SVFyZ8xKI8kz-omR47CHzYozi30lCFkMNKrmYOUN5aKKS0laQr6Lh4uh-sS0vdgpgt2SqoOnUtVjq6ZpZu6T7uh_kF3nKeo-4-DYLurBo-fz3/s400/DSC_0010.JPG" /></a></div><br /><div>After doing the spice rack I was inspired to label my canisters with vinyl. I love how my kitchen counter looks now with the spice rack and my canisters! I love how something so simple can really "spice" up the place! :)</div><br /><div></div></div></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8264958588058823435.post-34723670169767824812011-04-04T20:23:00.000-07:002011-04-07T17:34:07.080-07:00Meet Laura!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyvhJxAnOmy_CZ9KZMMrnThLEbc-CTKkRH0tsG2wz0-UAPfaQK0bL0NGUg8Z5a-gy9sVm_Lciddyz35X9xSWeZL5INZBljfecM2Xmk-NOyv14Ab3t1F1xBB8cdWoLPaidKgmWeUqQfCY/s1600/DSC_0151+-8x10.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5591935443903967698" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMyvhJxAnOmy_CZ9KZMMrnThLEbc-CTKkRH0tsG2wz0-UAPfaQK0bL0NGUg8Z5a-gy9sVm_Lciddyz35X9xSWeZL5INZBljfecM2Xmk-NOyv14Ab3t1F1xBB8cdWoLPaidKgmWeUqQfCY/s320/DSC_0151+-8x10.jpg" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 255px;" /></a> I am Laura!!

<div>My name is Megan. I am a wife, mother, cook, housekeeper, football widow, latter-day saint and many other things. Being a mom and a wife is the best thing that's ever happened to me! My husband just finished 8 years of service in the United States Marine Corps. That has been a huge part of our lives and we are so proud of it! We now live in Virginia and are loving our life together! I love crafting and am so excited to start this craft blog with my bestie! I hope you enjoy our projects! Thanks for stopping by!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
