Crafts for my Sister

My sister keeps after me to put up some pictures of some of the crafts I've finished lately.  So here you go Tiffany! :)

This is a Ribbon Christmas tree.  I was asked to teach how to make them for our ward's Super Saturday.  I had to learn how to do it myself first but I think it turned out well!
These are flowers made from brown lunch bags.  I found the idea on pinterest.  I love how they look and how cheap they were to make!
This is a stitchery patten I found on a website a while ago...I think it was youcanmakethis.com.  We need some more Thanksgiving decorations and I made this for some of our family members for a Christmas gift this year as well.
In our kitchen there is this random opening in the wall.  It would be perfect for artwork.....but since nice artwork is out of our price range I have been looking for something to do with the area.  I found this idea on pinterest for making an flower out of scrapbook paper on canvas. Soon the walls will be the bright blue in the flower.




First Day of School

School starts really late here in the Northwest...after Labor Day.  It still feels unusual to me because I am used to starting school the second week of August in NC.  But here are pictures of the kids on the first day this year.  Kanayla is in 4th grade, Xavien in 1st grade and Ivie is a Kindergartener!
