Follow the Brethren

I went to our niece's wedding this weekend and had planned on giving her a gift card for a present.

After the advice given to her in the temple,
I decided to make something instead.
I gathered supplies at the craft store and the home improvement store.

 And made this...

Hopefully, I can get it to her parent's house before she gets home from her honeymoon!
(Sorry about the dark picture.  I'll replace it when I get a minute.  Haha!)

My Babies are Growing Up

I searched long and hard for matching bedding when I was pregnant with my twins.
I found the cutest brown and pink and blue set and paid a pretty penny for it.

Today, with a tear in my eye, I gathered, washed and gave it away!

:(

Cooked and Frozen

I got 7 meals worth of hamburger

cooked,

bagged,

and frozen.

I love having cooked meat ready to go in the freezer for quick meals.

That something will make 7 busy nights easier!

Hot Rolls

I went to a church social tonight.

My assignment was rolls.

Since I baked them myself for someone else,

they counts as something that stays done!

My family was happy to learn that I doubled the recipe.

Paint Rags

Every time I paint something,

I look and look for a rag or old t-shirt to clean up or glaze with.

Today I decided to make some.

These sheets are getting old and don't stay on the bed very well

so I made rags out of them.

Now I can do 32 more somethings without looking for

something to clean up with!

Meet Frank

I went back to the wood store with my niece last week.

(It's the same store where I bought the wooden SUMMER decoration.)

They have the cutest decorations for Halloween up already.

I bought Frank and brought him home.

Today, I painted him and put him together.

I think he's pretty cute!

And so is the model behind him!

:-)

Finished Project

I finally got the handrails and picture back up in the basement stairway.

And look what the 3-year-old boy did during the stairway painting.

I guess he thought I needed another something to do!
