Too Busy!

I've been entirely too busy lately to catch up on my blog! I was recently called to be the Primary President in my ward. This is a HUGE calling. It's taking up a ton of my time and consuming a lot of my thoughts. I have also been potty training Ty. Believe it or not it has been successful this time! YAY! And I have been crafting my life away! Check it out!

Headbands and Hair Bow for Kinley!!


A group of my friends have started having these AWESOME jewelry parties! I have gone to one every weekend for about 6 weeks now. The lady has all the stuff needed. She sets out the beads, chains and examples. You just go and make what you want then pay her when your finished! It's fun and super cheap! Plus you get to make jewelry to match your wardrobe. It's been a blast!!
This is the jewelry Kinley has made for herself.
She made a different piece each time she got to go with me.

This is my set. It all started with the watch band.
Then I made an additional piece at the other parties.

I made lots more earrings and needed a place to put them...
so I made this frame!
I LOVE it. I also made most of the earrings hanging on it.

McKinley needed and earring holder too.
This is hers with her baby picture next to it.

I have been working on crafts to auction at our family reunion.
This is one I came up with made from pages out of a book.

And of course more earrings and earring holders for the reunion.
I LOVE the purple polka dot one. I'm tempted to keep it. :)

I have also made these super cute rag wreaths.
I've had so much fun making these!
I chose these three to keep for myself.

And these four to be auctioned at the reunion.
I'm tempted to keep the purple, pink & blue on for myself too!
What is with me liking purple lately?
I have always hated the color until recently.

I thought I would throw in a picture of my kids entertaining themselves
on our new trampoline since I craft so much lately.
This trampoline was given to us the other day from a family in our ward.
Thank you Fife family for being so generous!!
We LOVE it!
That's it for now. I guess since the reunion will be over this weekend I will have to find something else to do to entertain myself. Maybe I should work on being a Mom. I'm sure my kids would agree!

My Tiny Dancer!


This is McKinley after her very first dance recital!
Above is a picture of her and the two other girls in her class.
Below is my tiny dancer in her adorable pose.
We had so much fun watching McKinley dance. She is a born dancer and she can shake it like no other so we knew we had to get her into a class somewhere. The unfortunate thing is all the dance classes cost more than we felt we could afford. Well I went to ladies night at the Boulevard a few months ago and there was a lady there promoting her class. She only charges $20 a month and her costumes are inexpensive too! We LOVE it! And Kinley has a blast!!
