Good Morning!
Today I am happy to spotlight one of the last items (that I took photos of!) that I sold at our Spring Boutique!
Not your average dish towel, right?
I took regular white dish towels from Walmart, and embellished them with cute fabric!
This one happens to be perfect for a UTE FAN!
I had quite a few other options, but didn't take photos before the boutique, duh!
What was I thinking?
This is one I made for myself!
Hanging proudly on my oven!
GO UTES!

Happy Monday to you!
I hope you had a great weekend!
The weather was nice, but a bit chilly here in Utah, but I'll take it over rain and snow!
I've got a few more projects that I included in my Spring Boutique that I want to spotlight.
I got the idea for a "Notes" plate from the uber talented Shelley @ The House of Smiths .
You can see Shelley's plate HERE
This was a huge seller at the boutique, and I've since put together quite a few more for friends wanting extras for gifts!
You can write on the plates with just plain old dry erase markers.
Erase with a paper towel, or soft cloth.
I love how they turned out!
What do you think?
Let me know if you are interested in purchasing a plate with vinyl, or just the vinyl alone!
Have a great day!

Here is another project from my boutique.
Super, easy Tile Coasters.
White Tile from Home Depot or Lowes
+
Scrapbook Paper (I used paper from my a few of my Girls Loft Kits )
+
=
Cute Coasters!
What do you think?
I finish off the coasters with 4 felt discs on the bottom corners, so the tiles don't scratch whatever surface they are placed on.
Happy Thursday!
Hope it's a great day!

This is one of the vinyl signs I did for the Boutique I had last weekend.
I made quite a few vinyl signs and a few vinyl projects, but forgot to take many photos.
L
Oh well!
This is one of my favorites.
It is something we say several times at Mass each weekend.
It rests on the framed mirror in my entry way. Love seeing it every day!
Happy Tuesday!

Happy Monday!
I hope you all had a great weekend!
My friend Pam from Our Adventures in Home Improvement and I had a Spring Boutique on Saturday.
It was a lot of fun!
And turned out to be a great success!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by and supported us!
It was greatly appreciated!
We were so busy, neither one of us took photos of our set up!
GRRRRR!
But I did take a few photos of some of my crafts.
I'm going to try and post a few of them throughout the week.
First up, my chalkboard terra-cotta pots!
Super easy, and super cute!
Just simple pots, painted with chalkboard paint, then using a Chalk Pen I wrote on the chalk.
I also did a few for herbs – Cilantro, Thyme, etc.
What do you think?
Have you made any chalkboard planters?
Or other spring crafts?
Happy Monday!

Happy Monday!
Did you have a great Easter?
I hope so! It was a beautiful day in Salt Lake City yesterday.
GORGEOUS!
Sometimes we have snow on Easter.
Like last year, when we were camping.
Not fun.
Anyway…..
I was assigned dessert this year for Easter.
I'm not a huge dessert eater, but I do LOVE to make dessert.
Weird, huh?
Typical of me.
You might remember I made THESE for St. Patrick's Day, last month.
Since I already had the jars, it seemed obvious.
Make more dessert in a jar.
Duh.
So I did!
First up, Strawberry Shortcake in a Jar.
Angel food cake, topped with Strawberries & Sugar
Cool Whip mixed with Vanilla Frosting
And a dusting a graham cracker crumbs
Easy
And, because my Dad loves Carrot Cake
I did Carrot Cake in a Jar
I made Carrot Cake Cup Cakes
Sliced them, added a slice to the jar
Topped with Cool Whip mixed with Cream Cheese Frosting
A dusting of graham cracker crumbs
And repeat!
I added THESE CUTE printables to the lids
And called it GOOD!
We spent the afternoon at my parents' house
Easter egg hunt for the kids (minus Tyson who is in California at school still)
Dinner outside on the deck
And a last photo of Grandpa with Erin and Madison
I hope you all had a very blessed day!
And if you haven't tried making dessert in a jar
Go for it!
So fun!
You will love it!

My friend Pam and I, are hosting a Spring Boutique in a few weeks.
Do you live in Utah?
In Salt Lake
Or
Bountiful?
If you do, and want to come to our boutique, let me know!
We'd love to have you!
Anyways…….
I have been working on drink coasters for the boutique
With some REALLY fun papers and patterns!
Love them!
I couldn't forget the UTE fans!
GO UTES!
What have you been crafting lately?
Would love to know!
Send me a link!

Happy Thursday Ya'll!
That means it's almost Friday!
YEE-HAW!
Can't wait!
I've wanted to DIY a large chalkboard for my craft room, for quite some time
And last weekend was the perfect time
With warmer temps, it was perfect weather for getting' my spray paint on!
First of all I hit our local thrift store and picked up this beauty (glass still intact)
For $10
Pretty darn cheap, right?
I got busy taping off the frame so I could spray paint directly on the glass
I used these items for my project:
Don't judge the beauty that my yard isn't is….it's still "SPRINTER" (spring+winter) here in Utah!
After letting the chalkboard paint dry, I moved inside to paint the frame
Just plain old white
Nothin' special
But perfect for what I'm looking for
Don't pay any attention to Chloe……she's trying to photo-bomb!
Here's the completed chalkboard:
And all ready to hang on the wall in my craft room:
What do you think?
I'm quite smitten!
I can't wait to change up the quotes!
Now…..I just have to get the hubs to hang it up for me!
This thing is H E A V Y!

Do you have a pile of Christmas cards like this after the holidays are over?
I know I do!
I LOVE getting Christmas Cards and I especially love getting photo cards.
I save them every year!
But all I do is usually tie a ribbon around the stack ad label the year.
Not very fun.
I came across THIS POST at the FABULOUS blog Eighteen25 and decided now was the time to get all those cards organized!
I pulled them all out, and just punched holes in the side, and placed them on jump rings, adding the cover page!
So Easy!
Then I just store all the booklets (two years per booklet) in a red velvet box.
I will pull the box out each holiday and make them available for everyone to look through.
It's always fun to see how all the kids and families have grown!
What do you think?
How do you organize your Christmas Cards?
Do you even keep them from year to year?
I would love to hear!
Thanks for stopping by!

Do you love PEEPS?
I'm not really a fan. At all. I don't like cotton candy either.
Something about the texture or something.
My kids however, LOVE THEM!
And they love them frozen!
What?!?!?
True story.
I've seen some centerpieces using Peeps around blogland and pinterst the past few months, for Halloween, Christmas and Easter.
I decided to give it a try.
I used yellow bunny Peeps, along with some jellybeans.
Cute, easy and fun!
What do you think?
The best news?
I am NOT temped to eat it…..since I'm not a fan of Peeps!
Happy Wednesday!
Thanks for stopping by!
