Craft Day

Okay, so I am going to start making suggestions for crafts that I want to do while I'm home. There are several. I'm going to put the links for them on here and then if anyone else wants to do them as well we can look into getting supplies.

First of all, I want to make myself a menu planning thing like Mom has. I couldn't find one exactly like hers on the internet, but I found this one which I thought looked pretty simple and fun. (And I just figured out how to do the "link" thing) I hope it works! I also want to make myself a magnetic message board.

And I want to make myself an apron. So here is an idea for how to that. Though I really want one of those cute reversible ones that I've seen several friends make... so I need to get the pattern.... this is me, actually being willing to SEW. Yikes, Trina must be rubbing off on me! And I want to make some placemats like this one.

And then there is the crocheting.... Having flowers in your hair is all the rage right now... so why not make some. There are lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of flower options... and then there are the headbands as well. And if you don't like flowers, how about a heart. Also in the crocheting realm, I'm sort of hoping that Mindy ends up having a girl so I have someone to make cute hats for.

Is this inspiring anyone else with great crafting ideas for the day of craftiness during spring break?

I was also thinking about plastic canvas. Mom, do you still have any? Do you still have patterns for stuff? I don't have many magnets for my fridge and thought it might be fun to make some of those also.

Now, I've posted my ideas... what other ideas are out there?

One of those Spring Break Days

Hey all you Oregon Palmers and the people who will be in Oregon for Spring Break (And everyone else too),

Mindy and I have been talking about what we want to do while we are there for the week and I suggested that we have a day of craftiness and also a recipe exchange. (I think the fact that I haven't made it to any week day Relief Society meetings in awhile is getting to me.)

So, here is what I need from each of you (and this doesn't have to be just the girls) -

1. Write a post telling us about a craft project that you have been wanting to do, or learn, or that you looked up and thought it looked like fun.

2. Comment on the other people's posts about craft activities about how cool they look and that you want to do that too.

3. We'll have to purchase supplies for these crafty things.... I think that buying things in bulk will probably save on the cost and since I don't want the cost to stop people from participating, well... we'll figure something out.

4. We'll get together on the appointed day (whenever we decide that should be) and have fun being crafty together.... while also .... eating healthy snacks!

5. In order for the healthy snacks portion to happen you all need to find a healthy snack recipe that is also delicious (because, seriously if it doesn't taste good why should we eat it) and make some to share with everyone and then have it there on the day of craftiness along with copies of the recipe for everyone to take.

P.S. I think it would be fun to invite the Dicksons (especially Deb, Amber, Melanie, Annika, and Sarah.)

P.P.S. Those that aren't able to be there could still participate by purchasing their own supplies for the crafts, making suggestions for crafts, making suggestions for healthy snacks, and then having their own day of craftiness and healthy snacks.

Any thoughts on this?

Life

So I made it a goal to post on all the blogs today.

On this blog I will mention the fact that I'm most likely staying in Roosevelt for another year (ie the 2012-2013 school year). Yay.

And less than nine weeks until I head to Oregon for spring break! YAY!

New calling!

Not for me - for Brooke. She is now the 2nd counselor in the Beehive Presidency.
