FHE Chart

I have made a goal to be better at doing Family Home Evening. I thought maybe having a chart would help out. I came across THIS idea (scroll down under found/whimsical) and had to try it, especially since my grandma had just given my a bunch of cookie cutters just like those in the picture.

I let everyone chose which cookie cutter would represent them, then painted little wooden hearts, attached the "assignment" to the front and hung it with twine. Then every week we switch. I don;t know if it will help us do FHE more regularly or not, but it looks cute anyway!

It has been way too long since I have had a creative project going! Every time I walk past the drawer in the kitchen, I hear my glue gun calling to me. So I decided to answer the call.

I have an obsession with ribbon. Every time I go to Michael's, I am sure to come home with at least one spool of ribbon from the dollar bin. Up until now, I haven't done much with it--just stuck them in a box. As I was looking at my over-flowing ribbon box this weekend, a thought came--why not make hair bows for Rylee! And I did. 13 different styles (26 total--in case she wears pigtails we need 2 of each) and it took no time at all! I am totally addicted! Then I hot glued 2 thick pieces of ribbon onto a big letter "R" for Rylee, and clipped the bows onto the ribbons. Now if I can just talk her into wearing them. . .

It's only the 2nd day of Spring Break and the boys are already bored! So off to Michael's we went. I love the little paint and build kits they have for a dollar! Keeps them busy for hours.

I also made this little Easter tree that the kids love.

Lastly, I saw this cute appliqué idea and decided to make Rylee a shirt. I just love the cute bunny shape! Now the boys want one--now I know what I'll use that Dallas Cowboys fabric for, Theresa! It was really fun and easy, so I'm sure there will be more to come!
