new beginnings

d once upon a time d

my mom and i decorated for our yw new beginnings. it was a story tale/princess theme.

our happily ever after story begins at the temple so we thought it would be fun to make a silhouette of the salt lake temple (the temple that looks most like a castle) out of plastic table cloths.

then we added a swing hung from the basketball backboard.

we decided to go with the color aqua. our last meeting we used the color pink and wanted to mix it up a bit. (plus aqua is my favorite color)

here is our makeshift carriage. we already had wagon wheel and painted them white. the actual carriage is make from wire used to lay block. (found @ home depot) we painted it white and added ribbon and light to it. the chair in the center is one we previously had.

this is our "once upon a time... happily ever after" book

we were visited by a "princess" who spoke to us as she sat on the swing. she told us a hilarious story called "rindercella." hopefully we can all stay on the straight and narrow path so our happily ever after doesn't get all jumbled up!

easy silhouettes

take a side profile of the person that you want to make a silhouette of. make a print and then place a black paper behind the picture. now cut around the person (notice the shadow along her face, that made it easier to follow) try to add as much detail possible.

an OVAL frame is the last touch to cute silhouettes. this was a gift we made for all of our young women for yw in excellent night.

here is another silhouettte.

time to DECLUTTER the bathroom

Using TIN CANS for storage space

I thought this idea was so stinkin' cute. Gotta love better homes and gardens.

birthday idea for young women's

the store TINKERBELL in the superstition mountain mall has jewelry for $2. they are cheap enough and super cute. so i decided to create this for my girls.

there are 5 little hooks on the backside of the frame. each birthday i will bring this out and let the girl choose 1 necklace. then i will replace it with a new necklace for the next birthday.

TWIN FALLS IDAHO TEMPLE

Dancing the virginia reel with Eritrean's just hours before the shaytards came over. they missed out on LOTS of fun. so my sister is married to mommytard's brother. i've know them for sometime now, but i just found out that my husband is 4th cousins with my sister's husband. therefore, fourth cousins to mommytard. CRAZY SMALL WORLD! so ALL you lawlor/glasgow's are related to them too!
