Advent Calendars

I think I'm starting to collect advent calendars. I keep thinking of all these fun ideas and hearing about great ideas that others have done and I just have to make them... it will be a full time job just keeping up with all the advent calendars next month, but at least this way all 3 kids can rotate advent calendars and have something to take off or add every day:)

Here are a few of them:

This is 2 12x12 pages. You use an exacto knife to cute the windows open and then you have another 12x12 behind it so when you open the windows there are pictures of the kids, things to do like "take a Christmas picture" "share your favorite Christmas memory" "go look at Christmas lights" etc. Of course, all the windows can be personalized so you can have them say whatever you want.

This is the darling tree from total class creative. Same place I got the darling pumpkins. The idea with this one is that each day until Christmas the kids will add an ornament to the tree and by Christmas the tree will fully decorated with darling ornaments with the kids pictures on them. There are lots of other fun things you can do with these trees. Check out total class creative blog, they have super cute things.

These countdown blocks are also made with 2 12x12 pages and a 7 in 2x4 and 2 4x4 blocks. You can get the wood at Home Depot and then cut them to size.

This is a darling one, it's 2 12x12 pages. You glue the main page to a cookie sheet (found at the dollar store) and then cut out the 25 presents and put a magnet on the back and you're ready to go. My friend Michelle Bell a fellow HM Consultant came up with this brilliant idea:) Each day you take off a present and there is a number behind it. Then you just stick the present on the back of the cookie sheet so you don't lose them.. super cute, super easy!

My friend Janet Shaw gave me another brilliant idea today with this same cookie sheet idea, except it's with a mini muffin sheet. Then you can put a treat inside the space. I'm excited to make one and when I do I'll post pictures:)

BLING!

So here's my first attempt at using BLING... it really isn't my thing, but this darling clock is for my sisters baby girls room (baby coming end of January - first girl after 3 boys) and my sister is ALL about BLING:)

I bought the clock at Wal Mart for $4 and designed an 8x8 page in my HM studio account. The page is $3, What a darling clock for under $10! I bought the BLING at Wal Mart and just glued it to the paper, so fun:) It's going to look darling on the shelf in the nursery.

Double Duty

These darling pumpkins are doing double duty. They were adorable during Halloween and they are perfect for Thanksgiving too! The whole table decor is 100% HM. The "give thanks" is made out of a deck of cards, the little blocks below the post bound book are made using a 12x12 pg and then gluing onto wood, the "blessing bucket" is also made out of a 12x12 pg, you just glue the pieces onto the paint bucket (found at craft stores) and tie ribbon and fabric on the handle. We've had fun each Monday night adding our blessings to the "blessing bucket". We'll read all our blessing on Thanksgiving and then I'll publish them in a square flip book along with pictures of the kids. What a great way to document the things we're grateful for for the next generation. I would LOVE to have a copy of the items my great grandma was thankful for when she was a young mother my age... I'm sure her list would vary greatly from ours and definitely wouldn't include things like the ...internet, cars, cell phones, indoor plumbing, digital cameras, etc. But I do know there would be some similarities on the list... family, friends, good health, and the gospel.

Here's a preview of what my flip book is going to look like (but with my pictures and blessings inside:)

Darling Pumpkins

Fall is such a great time to decorate. When money is tight, you don't have a lot of time and you don't have a lot of ideas, I'm really grateful for Heritage Makers!

I LOVE Total Class Creative too because you can create anything custom in your Heritage Makers Studio to mod podge to their fun wood crafts. They have the cutest baby doll unfinished wood furniture.

LOVIN' my new post bound album!

My Family Blog

Family Blog Header

Family Blog Album Title Page

Family Blog 12x12 post bound album cover

I am SO excited about my new blog 12x12 post bound album. I'm so happy that Heritage Makers now offers a 12x12 post bound album as one of their products. I ordered it last night and can't wait for it to get here. I've been doing my family blog in 12x12 pages, which I LOVE, it kills 2 birds with 1 stone and my kids love looking through the pages. My blog is entitled "Find Joy in the Journey" I put that title on the cover of my album and also made a title page that will be the first page in my album, it has a quote that I really like and want to live by it is "Let us relish life as we live it, find joy in the journey, and share our love with friends and family." -Thomas S Monson.

I also made my blog header using the same collection of artwork (the grown up table collection). Isn't it so fun how everything matches!!!

LOVE what I do!

This is why I LOVE Heritage Makers...

“Best of Heritage” is one of the awards given at the HM annual conference. This project is about a family and their baby, who had a birth defect that would not allow him to live very long. There is an organization called “Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep” that consists of over 7000 photographers that volunteer their time to visit during the precious time after these infants are born. They photograph the endearing moments that Mom, Dad, siblings and family members spend with their little one.

Heritage Makers is partnering with NILMDTS and will be donating a book featuring these photos to each family that the photographers serve. As a consultant, I volunteer to help these families design their books. I gain so much fulfillment from the projects I have been able to help others do. Heritage Makers offers a wonderful product and process, and for me, a consultant, a wonderful opportunity to do what I love and help others.
