So... For a long time I have been
looking for a new thing

one now, but every time I open it I worry something
is going to fall out and break.
I FINALLY FOUND SOMETHING PERFECT!!!

Something easy to spray paint.
Something to glaze.
Something that has lots of storage.
Its something PERFECT!

Recycle Paper Magnets and Pushpins


How fun are these!?
I stumbled upon these while on Etsy.
One-of-a-kind handmade cards, garlands, decor, stationery, notes, gift tags, ornaments, journals, postcards and more, all created individually or in sets. All decoration is by hand.

Find them HERE



iPhone Case

I got a NEW iPhone4 case!!!

This was my old one from Kate Spade
I loved it, but I needed a change!
I saw some on etsy and decided to get it!
{She was kind of a pain and slow to work with, but well worth it!}
I just LOVE the Chevron... of course!



DIY: Scripture Covers

Make your own scripture covers:

We had an activity and
made our own covers for our scriptures!
They turned out so cute,
and easy to do!

{the orange one is mine!:}


Supplies:

I know this like A LOT of stuff... and it is,
but these are the things you will need...

Fabric
Fabric glue or glue gun
Buttons
Ribbon
Sewing Machine
Thread and needle
Iron
and some good music to jam to! :)



Steps:

1. Fold the fabric you want to use in half and inside out.
2. Take your scriptures and line it up to the fold and make a line across the top to measure where you are going to sew. You will wank to make it long so some excess will fold into the inside.
3. Sew across that line.
4. Iron so you have no creases.
5. Fold it inside out so your design is on the outside.
6. Put it on your scriptures and DECORATE!



Here are some that people made:
