Swiss Days

Love Crafts?

Live in Utah?

Then you need to find a friend and head up to

Swiss Days

It is this weekend, September 2 & 3.

I look forward to this each year and can't wait to get there.

It is a blast.  You don't want to miss this.

Just make sure you have good walking shoes, all day, and lots of money.

Craft Fair

If you live in Utah or if you are up for a road trip to Utah and love art festivals (it is more crafts than anything), then this is a must.  We went to SLC last year for our anniversary and I dragged The Mr. to this.  It was awesome.  So many fun and unique things/ideas. It has over 180 artists with handmade items.  Plus, it is FREE!  I really hope to go again.

More info can be found here. 

Quick!

Pick Your Plum ...get it before your neighbor does!

This is such a fun website.  Check it out here. 

Pick Your Plum offers swank crafting supplies at killer prices
(sometimes even FREE).

The catch?  They only offer one item at a time and have a limited supply, so get it before your neighbor does!!! Once they sell out of the item, they're gone.

I just ordered these (for an upcoming project)!

Bet you can't guess where I am putting these babies?

Stock Up

I went shopping this weekend and found several places that had their

winter clothes on sale.  My girls don't need any more winter clothes

but they do need some for summer!  

Target had their plain white, long sleeve shirts on sale for $1.50, so I stocked up.  I brought them home, cut off the sleeves, and washed them.  The t-shirt material will not fray.  It gave it a cute finish.  So easy and so inexpensive.

Now when they thrash them it is no big deal because I only spent $1.50!!!

I very carefully unpicked the pocket on one of the shirts (sorry, no pic) before I washed it.  You can't tell it was there. Take your time and make sure you don't leave a hole while unpicking the pocket.

GIVE AWAY!

Elli Jayne is giving away a frayed rosette headband to one lucky reader. 

All you've got to do is...

*check out ElliJayne.etsy.com and pick your favorite color of headband,

*become a follower (if you are not one already), and

*leave a comment saying what your favorite color is.

Friday we will pick a winner - your prize will be a headband in your favorite color!!! 

Have a GREAT WEEK!

Family Home Evening

I just received an email from my friend, (thanks Jen) and I am excited to share it with you...

Hello friends,
Family home evening has always been a big deal at my house. And I have already seen miraculous results because of it. For example, my 9 year old son came home from school one day and told me that a boy at school had asked him if he had seen a certain PG-13 movie. My son told his friend, "My mom won't let me see that movie." His friend replied, "Why don't you just come over to my house and watch it? She'll never know." I asked my son how he responded, and he told me that he said, "I believe the commandment says to honor thy father and thy mother." The spirit testified to me instantly that my son reacted that way, without hesitation and with confidence, as a direct result of the many family home evenings we have had talking about media standards, peer pressure, honesty, and the commandments.
James E. Faust said: "I wonder if having unplanned and infrequent family home evenings will be enough to fortify ourselves and our children with sufficient moral strength to meet the complexities of our day . . . To combat the world's evil influences, we need the strength that comes from family home evening." (Ensign, Jun 2003, 2–6)
I feel so strongly about family home evening that I have created an FHE file with 15 weeks of lessons, visual aids, object lessons, board games, and over 50 pages of FHE lesson plans and worksheets. I'm only doing one printing of this FHE file, so it will only be available for a limited time. Have a great month!
Sincerely,
Jenny
