Minute to Win It Date Night Edition

In February I was in charge of a Minute to Win It Date Night Edition for our RS Activity turned ward party. It was so much fun and the challenges were hilarious to watch here are a few pictures from it but if you really want to see the fun in action check out our ward blog for the video (Mike did the editing and is very proud of himself). If you are looking for a fun activity to do, this is a winner!

Happy New Year ( 4 months late...)

Here are our new years ever pictures and some of Caleb just cause he's so cute!

Pretty Tee

I got addicted to all of these t-shirt refashioning posts a while ago and have them all saved on my computer and even taught my mom, sisters and my ward how to make them but have only actually gotten around to making a few, not that I don't have big plans for doing many more but I though I'd show you the ones I've finished so far. I think they turned out pretty cute in spite of my procrastination!  

 This one is stamped

The dark spots you can see are water I ironed flat after washing. But the "flowers" are layers of knit and tulle and the white is the back of one of Paige's shirts that I cut apart since the front was stained.

 This is ribbon folded and sewn down then beads hand sewn on around it.

 This one is has corsage look to it made up of a bunch of circles stacked and gathered together.

  

 This one I did for Mike and Caleb has one to match for Easter, I used the cricut to cut out the letters and the chicks I printed off the internet and traced onto freezer paper and ironed on as a stencil.

This one is Paige's and I did the same saying for Rory too again freezer paper made it happen. And my friend Sara for wanting to do it to so it got me a little more motivated to actually get it done!

Making up for lost time!

I know it has been forever since my last real post and I'm trying to catch up so here are a few pictures from Christmas ( I know... I said it's been forever!!) and yes we went swimming on Dec 28th thanks to a heated pool!
