Crafting away...

Well I will try to get some pictures on here, but I have been busy looking for some adorable ideas to implement in my new apartment and I tell you what the sky is the limit. I love how gracious people are in blogs and online, sharing their ideas and allowing me to "Do it Myself" and make these crafts and projects my own. I am so excited to post pics of my spin on some of these projects. My creative juices have been flowing and that makes me happy! You will see what I have been busy creating and crafting. So fun! My favorite part about all of this is that I have spent virtually no money. These were all created from trash to treasure and with the essential craft supplies I already had laying around the house. My next venture I am going to attempt today... I saw this on U Create, Kari featured it on her blog, but she got it from Ben Franklin Crafts and Frame Shop...

I love the look of this, and with the shelves I think it is very homey and cute! I'll post my take on it when I have finished!

What do you know?

Well, I just moved into the basement apartment of Ronda's house and I am so very excited! I am having fun cleaning and decorating and making it my own. I am looking for cute, inexpensive ideas to decorate and make it "homey" Cute ideas for lamps, or wall hangings or things to sit on my mantle... If you know of any good websites, have any cute ideas that you have implemented in your own home, or just have some fun ideas, let me know!

Attitude is Everything

Well, I am learning new things everyday and week, sometimes life's lessons take longer for me to figure out. My newest "AH hah" moment occured last week at Family Home Evening. Every monday night I go with a group of members from Farmington 2nd Ward for a Family Home Evening. We went this particular week up to Durango Colorado for the Bar D Wranglers Chuck Wagon Dinner. For those of you who have not been there, you should make it a point to go at some point. It is good "Clean" Fun! Well, as I have gotten older and wiser, I have matured. I really enjoyed myself at the Bar D and I had to call and apologize to my dear sweet mother for my behavior as an awnry teenager. My first trip to such a place as the Bar J in Wyoming was with my Mom and her friend Mary. I was a brat... Let me tell you. I did not enjoy myself and I sure let her know about it too. Well, there is a very valuable lesson in my "misbehavin" Attitude. I decided not to enjoy myself because lets face it, The Bar J wranglers are not "cool" when you are a punk rockin city Girl who is 17.
I learned this as well on my mission, I decided to love it and I did.
I hope that I can continue to Love life, improve my attitude and Enjoy Every moment.
I had a blast at the Bar D... It was so much fun!
