So like 8 month ago, I updated my computer to Windows 10 and I haven't been able to Post anything to my blog. I got a lot of catching up to do. things are mostly crazy around here. But so wonderful at the same time. Scott fixed it tonight after month of me complaining. thank you so much
I have wanted to make a menu board or something similar for like 7 years, and finally only 2 weeks ago I got my Chalkboard paint out and just did it. I chose a cupboard, cause its easily hidden, good use of space, easy to reach and cute. It was super easy takes about 2 coats and like 2 hours. I cut out white vinyl for the days of the weeks and title using my cricut.
In May we finally had the Court of Honor for Tristin to receive his Eagle Scout Award.
Along with a lot of other boys in our ward. It’s been awhile since they had one. I had to along with some other mothers keep after the leaders to have one.
Anyways Tristin did his Eagle Scout Project actually in Oct of 2012. He put on a Veteran’s Day celebration for Veteran’s living in an assistant living center. He had program with music and stories, refreshments and gave them all a wooden plaque with an American Flag. But moving on, this is what I came up for the court of honor.
I went and took some pictures of him so I could make his invitations. He has a huge personality and makes everything really fun and entertaining.
Then I made these 2 banners for the tables using my Cricut.
I found this shadow window box at hobby lobby and spent several evenings finding all his awards, merit badges and pins even some from cub scouts. Then Scott helped me glue them all on, after rearranging it several times.
It turned out so great and it was a surprise to him.
I made the centerpieces for the food table, just cut out stars and put all the words that a scout is like Kind, Brave, Trustworthy, Honest, Frugal Loyal, etc.
At least know I’ll be set for the next court of honor, I'm sure before I know it, It will be Gavin's turn.
We are super proud of Tristin he has always loved Scouting and has had some of the best leaders. He gave out 3 mentor pins that evening because he couldn’t pick just one. I know he learned great skills and has great memories of all his scouting years.
Welcome to the Eagles Nest!
In early December I made these cute Christmas wooden tags.
I bought them from Wood Creations. Then Painted, cut my vinyl lettering with my cricut and added washi tape.
A few weeks before Christmas I made 10 of these Chalkboards! Of course Scott cut them out for me and sanded them and I painted them with chalkboard paint, it did take quite of few coats! Then added the white vinyl lettering. But I think they turned out wonderful, and I’m already using mine..
Here is what has been going on around, getting ready for Easter!
Bunny Love, Carrots, all the things that make me smile.
3-D paper carrots, cut out with my Cricut. Payton gave these to the kids at pre-school.
Candy rock suckers, with a little green paper grass taped around them!
Below I printed these bunny ears off of nobiggie.com.
Happy Easter from all of us, this week we have thought about Jesus Christ a lot I have asked my kids to answer the question below.
Because of him?
What?
Because of him, I can live again, I can serve others, I am able to love more fully.
Everyone keeps track of how tall there kids are.
Putting it on a board makes it moveable, from house,
to house, to apartment, to where ever it is needed.
Scott made this for us and also a friend this year for a Christmas gift.
He sanded and stained, and I cut out the
Vinyl and lines with my Cricut.
It was a success and we love giving gifts that last years.
I needed one of these too,
so I made it last week.
I cut out the black banner with my cricut and also the white stared circles.
The glitter letters I had on hand.
I just threaded brown ribbon thru the holes..
It was super easy and took little time.
I love thanksgiving,
I love watching the gratitude jar fill up.
I think there is a reason Thanksgiving is before Christmas.
Being fully aware of your blessing
and all you have,
and showing Gratitude
Defiantly gets you in the season
of giving.
Recently I got my master bathroom painted by my talented, and wonderful husband.
All walls are painted Grey and I accented with Yellow and Aqua.
Also Black and white.
Since it’s a His and Hers Bathroom. I really wanted it a good mix of genders.
NOT anything to Feminine or fancy just a Clean, Classic feel and look.
I also really wanted a feel of natural elements.
So when started decorating I went it to it thinking.
Wood, Glass, Metal, Nature things like that.
Reusing my mirrors…
Really bad lighting my walls look brown, I cut the MR and MRS with my cricut.
I picked up this frame from the DI and then got the Spray paint out.
Adding the hardware for the twine….
Added some Black and White Photo’s of US
DIY Painting a Glass Jar
Scott added shelf above the toilet…
I must say I love making our house our HOME
