Pinterest

So my husband makes fun of me and my Pinterest obsession.  He likes to say, "Pinterest!  Let's sort the internet together!"  I think it's kind of funny so I made it up just so I can pin it to my funny board.  I hope you like it!  He makes fun of me but his statement is kind of true!

I Heart Faces: "Oh So Silly"

You know, there is nothing like a huge family having fun.  My family is loud, obnoxious, and crazy but we sure know how to have a blast.  It's always insane when we get together.

Oh, and the dogs tried to get in on the action but I cropped most of them out.  

Oh oh oh, and gotta love Grandma and her normalness.  Except for that sweater, which I have worn to an Ugly Sweater Party.  Sorry Grandma.

Also gotta love the onsie pj's my 16 year old sister is wearing.  Funny.

I dare you to make a caption for each person's face.  That's the best part.

Here is my contribution to I Heart Faces weekly challenge "Oh So Silly!"  We sure are.  Enjoy!

I'm Still Around

So, um, hi!  I am still around.  Just so busy I haven't been able to do blogging.  Even my family blog.  So sad.  Anyhoo, I have found a new obsession and it's called Pinterest.  It has seriously taken up so much of my time I now know why I don't blog anymore.  I have had to put a reign on my Pinterest stalking.  I just love it so much.  Now I sound like a lovesick girl.  Sad.  Oh well.  I have found so many things on there that I want to try, have tried, and also things like what I want in my future home.  Most of it is wishful thinking but I may be able to do a few things I have pinned.

If you would like to see what I pin then come over and check it out.  Here is my profile!  I have a board that is called I Love Good Tips.  It is a favorite of mine.  Some of my favorite tips this week are these:

1. Pouring your favorite candle wax into ice cube trays to use in a Sentsy warmer.

2. Using a rubber band to make a perfect line for doing a french manicure or whatever tips you want to do.


3.  Having fun with the kids and throwing a bunch of glow sticks in the bath and turning off the lights.

"Forget Not"

Here is something I whipped up after listening to Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf at Women's Conference. I loved his talk. It was perfect! All the info I cut and pasted from lds.com. I wanted to make sure I was correct.

Chore Chart

This is the chore chart I came up with. I used my Cricut to cut out the words with contact paper and stuck them on top and then chose some scrapbook paper for underneath. I used a decorative scissor to do the wavy pattern and then a small hole punch to make the holes.

I think it turned out really cute. My daughter wanted to help write her chores.

I Heart Faces Challenge - Beautiful Eyes

 Here is my entry in this weeks I Heart Faces photo challenge.  (Click on the picture to see it much clearer.)  I got this picture of my son after church one day.  He is wearing a teal shirt and it brought the blue in his eyes out so well.  I had so many compliments about his suit all day so I had to capture it.  Isn't he so handsome?

My FIL's Artwork

My Father-in-law is amazing with wood and this is what he made for his office. It is huge. It's probably a couple of feet wide.
Do you see all the grooves and paint that he used?
