Have I Done Any Good in the World Today?

I love love love this quote. President Hinckley said "Generally speaking, the most miserable people I know are those who are obsessed with themselves; the happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others." So true... so true. I love the miracle that comes with service - If you are down and blue and get out and serve... you get lost ... and find the peace you are searching for. It is like a rescue program for all involved. I just love it!The glass is rippled! Such a cool find. There is a Habitat for Humanity Resale Store less than five miles from home. They often have cupboard doors for less than $3 each. Just fill the handle holes, paint and your board is All Dahled UP!

~ TIP ~ Use a foam brush, disassemble your flower, paint the tips of the petals or like in this project, paint the tops of the petals, leaving the concave untouched. Let dry and reassemble. -- pass it on!

Love of the Kitchen

I think subway are is really kind of cool. (Yes... I just said cool!) I love the way some people have to tilt their head to read... it just makes me laugh!

In any kitchen, there is always so much to make, taste and clean up! It is the best thing in the world when you have friends who LOVE to bake! So many very tasty things have come out of Jenn S and Keri's home! I love grazing through their kitchens!
~ TIP ~ I LOVE ribbon, but (and this is a BIG BUT) it gets expensive. Here's what I found... JoAnn sales a lot of their ribbon for around $3 a spool. Most spools have 3-4yards per spool. And it NEVER goes on sale. On the other hand, Michaels sales a lot of their super cute ribbon for about $3 a spool, BUT (another big BUT), their spools have 10 yards per spool. AND it often goes on sale!!! -- pass it on!

If Laughing Makes You Live Longer...

YOU WOULD MAKE ME LIVE FOREVER! Just reading the saying makes me laugh. I think it is so important to laugh. Laugh at yourself, at others, at your hair, at how your 4yr old dresses herself, at your JoAnn's budget (ha! I know!), at your kitchen after you and the kids bake cookies! Just LAUGH!

I saw this saying decorated differently at a friends house recently and thought I would put my spin on it. It is now hanging at a different friends house who makes me laugh and feel better about life... Thanks KERI! LOL!
I used the cricket and cut out several layers of the same flower. Fold up the edges of your flower to make it 3D looking.Using my handy-dandy sewing machine and gray thread, I stitched a square around the outside of my paper. Totally cute, huh?
~ TIP ~ Most frames don't come with holes in them. (Bummer... I KNOW!) When you drill your holes in the frame put masking tape over the front and back side of the frame to prevent splintering. (Thank my hubby for that tip!)
