Pretty Cash Envelopes


I made these envelopes to start anew to stick with the budget. Printed the template from HERE for free using scrapbook paper I just had lying around. Hopefully having pretty envelopes will help me be better. The girl who made the template has an etsy shop with premade ones too. She strings her envelopes all together and keeps them in her wallet but I don't want to carry around every envelope all the time. Yay for a new month to start new goals like this one.

Conference game, Activity Sticks & Pinewood Derby

I went to Staples and color copied and cardstocked this activity from The Friend. We used it during conference to follow along with the speakers. It worked!



I wrote down activities on the sticks and depending on our schedule or Mom's mood, I can say "Choose a blue stick" or "Pick any color." Even though these are mostly activities we do already, choosing them from a magical jar make doing the craft/trip/activity even better!
(I saw this idea used for date ideas on a blog somewhere but tweaked it for my 2 year old)


I was merely the Gluer, not the brains behind these special neckerchief slides. My friend Dawn had me put these beauties together the past 2 Pinewood Derbys. The cub scouts love them.  So cool! I need to catalog this so I can remember to do this 10 years down the road when I am in Cubs. I used the E6000 glue.

General Conference Goodies 2

Whoa it's been 6 months of not much making apparently. Last post was October.

Here's my little goodie I made for a few friends this time around to prep for General Conference for the LDS church this weekend. Yay! I am so excited!

General Conference Goodies


photos i modged podged to blocks I cut/painted

Found this printable online and made one

found above printable of apostles online and I put them on circles instead of the flashcards they were intended to be. Perfect for my toddler.

laminated and hole punched these older church pictures. Used ribbon and just wrapped one end with scotch tape. Cheap lacing cards!

Paint Sample Color Books

These are two sided pages I made from free paint samples at Home Depot. Laminated the pages & added a ring. Got the idea from my mom- she made me one first. Perfect party favor for our rainbow themed birthday party last week! Plus- FREE! (well, like 17 cents)

More Crayon Rolls

These are 10x5. Used them as party favors. Yay for using leftover fabric! 8 crayons each.
