Have you heard of Shutterfly?

Have you forgotten how to print your pictures since you no longer have "film"? Do your grandparents ask you "Why don't I ever see pictures of your kids anymore?" Let me tell you about the easy way to do it.

Shutterfly is an online photo store. But, it offers so much more than your local drugstore or Wal-Mart. You can make one of a kind gifts, classy cards, invitations, announcements, etc... I ordered ornaments for my grandparents one Christmas with my girls pictures on them. Look at this year's ORNAMENTS.You can also edit your pictures on their site. I order my Christmas Cards from them frequently and can have them personalized. I'm thinking of ordering this CARD Have you ever wanted a canvas print of your family? You can make a photo BOOKof any ocassion you want? Have you ever wanted to scrapbook you childrens lives? You can do it on Shutterfly! This is the best Christmas gift...a yearly CALENDARfor Grandma and Grandpa. Right now they're buy one get one 50% off. You could get one for yourself. Check it out HERE!

Y.W. Values Bracelet

My cousin up in Idaho wanted me to whip up a bracelet for her young women. All of the value colors are represented. The picture doesn't do it justice. The white bead is actually kind of crystalized and and the blue looking bead in the wire cage is actually purple. Kind of cute, huh?

Another neighborhood craft, decoupaged pumpkins!

Hey, girls....so I'm having another craft day for ladies in the neighborhood. It will be Tuesday, November 1st at 10 am. Meet at my home and feel free to bring your kids. I will have the time open from 10-2 so you can come and go as you please. Here is what we're going to do.



See a tutorial HERE. Thanks to Joy for her wonderful idea.

You will need to bring one or more faux pumpkin. I got mine at Wal-mart for $5. You can also get them discounted at Michael's for a good discount now. If you can get it already painted white, that is great. I will provide paint brushes and modge podge and tissue paper. I have a brown and white and black and white pattern. If you want anything else...bring it. If you have any supplies you'd like to donate that'd be great. Any decor items would be great (leaves, ribbon, flowers). I will have some available. Let your neighbors know, as I can't get ahold of everyone.

Hate your smudgy mascara??

Hello ladies

Do you hate how you get those smudgy mascara marks under, above, and aound your eyes? Do you wake up in the morning and feel like you need some mascara and lip gloss to go out the door? Well, eyelash extensions may be your answer.

I've started a busniness applying eyelash extensions to the eyes of all the busy ladies out there who want a break! I've been professionally trained and have been in practice for awhile. If you have questions about the application or prices CLICK HERE.

*****Many of you close friends have asked if there is a discount for them...YES! For ward members, family and very close friends the price is $40 and $20*******

Isn't my dad handsome?

 

This was taken when he was about 24. Notice he has a photo tripod in his hands. Those who know him will have a chuckle.

Compare and contrast

My dad has been uploading old photos on CD before they yellow to badly. He's been sending them over to me and I've been getting a kick out of the similarities I see in my children. Take a look.

 

Trip to Sand Hollow

We went on a fun filled trip to Sand Hollow in Hurricane/St. George with our good friends the Hales over New Years. We got our girls on ATV's for the first time. Amy and I drove around in a big ranger with Ava strapped in. It was a little chilly but nothing compared to the icy temperatures up north. We had a blast. Chad even had fun...hmmmmm. Poor Sophie got sick so it wasn't all fun and games but the boys golfed and Amy and I caught a show and a little shopping. Thanks for including us, friends!

Lost Christmas Photos...

We...okay, let's be honest...I, lost my camera on a trip in January. I was so frustrated because, like my little bro., Dean, I lose things frequently. I prefer to say misplaced because I often find them again months later, after I've replaced them; but that's not the point. My baby, Ava had her FIRST Christmas and I had no pictures of it! I was excited for this Christmas especially because her name "Ava Noel" means the Eve of Christ's Birth. But...my prayers were answered, thank you Chad, or should I say Clinton North Stake Aaronic Priesthood Camp requirements for a backpack? Long story...

M- AHHHHHHHHHH-M!!!!!!

I hear my name being screamed and run because Charlotte is in the tub! I run in and Ava has somehow gotten her top off and has dived into the tub with her diaper (a boom boom inside) and shorts on. She was as happy as a mermaid and you can see. Ugh...the day started off well. It became one of those days!

 

Ava is 18 months

Our sweet, sometimes moody baby is a year and a half! She wants to be like her big sisters. She eats well at the dinner table with big forks and spoons even though she can hardly see over the table. She loves to play with her best friend, Tessa, our golden retriever. Tessa understands her totally and has unlimited patience with her. She speaks a lot in the language of Avish that can be translated by all of her sisters. We love her so much.

Bad luck since age 5

You all know that I've had my share of mishaps and "accidents". Well, my dad sent me this photo of me at age 5. Yes, that is a bandage around my head and a dot of blood starting to seep through. Here's the story. My brother Dean and I were playing Wonder Woman and Super Man and flying around the house. I hit my head on the corner of the counter. Back in the good old days the counters were not rounded like today. I probably needed stitches, but you know I heard the famous line..."you'll be fine!"
