<span style="color: orange; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First</span> I spray painted my canvas ivory and let that dry. While that was drying I printed out my chevron pattern that I found on the Sunset website which you can find <a href="http://www.sunset.com/home/weekend-projects/chevron-pattern-how-to-00400000043459/page7.html">HERE.</a> After I had cut that out I placed it on my canvas and used Frog tape to cover the exposed canvas. Once I had my first one done I would move my pattern and repeat. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After it's all taped off I applied 3 coats of the black acrylic paint (letting it dry between each coat). </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite part is taking off the tape to see those fun stripes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I created a Halloween printable in Photoshop and had it printed at Walmart's one hour photo which is cheaper than paying for a color copy. I also found my 4x6 black frame at Walmart for $3 but you could also use a frame from the Dollar Tree. I removed the glass and any backing from the frame. </div>

After I had placed my printable in the frame I use some E600 glue to adhere the frame to the canvas. I let that dry over night before standing it upright. Of course you can paint this to match your own Halloween decor, I think it would look amazing in silver or orange as well. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Summer has put a damper on my Visiting Teaching. It's so hard to coordinate schedules when everyone is taking vacations. So to start the next month off right I did this little treat to take to my sisters. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The tag on top reads:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We are looking forward top "popping" in on you each month. Love your visiting teachers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I put popcorn kernels in a mason jar, topped the lid with a cupcake paper and some ribbon, and added a brad to cover the overlap of the ribbon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added a few paperbags to pop the popcorn in as well as the instructions on how to do that. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also put popcorn flavorings in those cute little tins that you can find in the wedding sections at Michaels. Topped them off with some tags so they know what is what. </div>

For the end of the year treats I wanted to do something different than just the basic gift card so I made these cake kits. I've made them before but a little differently, for baby shower prizes and they were just as fun this way. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cake mix and frosting wrapped up cute with an apron card to match, each a little different for each teacher. </div>

It's teacher appreciation week starting Monday and this year I wanted to actually do something for my kids teachers. I have great respect for teachers, especially really great teachers. I know how hard it is to get my kids just to do their homework for a few hours each day so I can only imagine what full day would be like. </div>

I always have good intentions but it always seem to sneak up on me. Well not this year, this year I'm prepared. I started on these a week ago and will have my last one finished this weekend. I of course went to my go to place for great ideas, Pinterest. I'm so thankful people are willing to share their good ideas and talent with the rest of us so that I don't have to come up with all this on my own. </div>

I had a great time planning and throwing this baby shower for a friend and first time mom. I found some great inspiration on Pinterest which led to some really fun things. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A great party has to start with great invitations. I was inspired by <a href="http://ohhappyday.com/2011/03/confetti-invitations-template/"><span style="font-size: large;">this </span></a>find on Pinterest. I collected TP tubes to start, then designed the outer label on Photoshop. I punched circles out with the info for the party on them and attached to a ribbon. I had the ribbon loop up through the outer circle to make a pull tab. I sealed both end of the tube with circles and filled with confetti. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's how the invite went</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It's a celebration!<br />
The time has come,<br />

And as usual I didn't get pictures of everything because I was too busy finishing things up when people started to arrive. I did have someone snap a few and will add those once I get them. I did get a few detail shots so I'll share those.<br />

I had a game area where I had set up two tables with two different games guests could play. I know some people dread the baby shower games so I put it out and those who would like to play could. I made cupcake kits as prizes for the games but didn't get any pictures of them. You can go here to see what they basically looked liked.<br />
<br />
The games were design a Onsie where you used fabric makers and plain white onsies and decorated it. I had some of my stamps out they could use as well. I had them hang them on a clothes line with decorated clothes pins and then the mom to be chose her favorite as the winner. The second game was guess what is in the bag. I spelled out the word BABY SHOWER on paper bags and inside placed items that started with that letter. <br />

I also made a bunch of "clovers" to put in some pails and boxes. I used Styrofoam balls I found at Dollar Tree and covered them in fun fur yarn. I then stuck in some stripey straws. <br />

These are Hershey Nuggets wrapped in paper and placed in the pretzel rod bags you can find in the candy isle of your local craft store. Original idea found here : <a href="http://inkingidaho.blogspot.com/">Inking Idaho</a></div>

This is one of the fun things I got this year for Christmas. My mother in law shares a love of serving dishes and well dishes in general. She sent me these super cute tasting dishes and spoons and I've found so many fun things to put in them. Now, I just need a party to use them at. . . . . . </div>

First up I have the "neighbor" gifts I did this year. I had lots of good ideas but as my list was pretty long I needed to keep cost in mind. I have done this before but not for Christmas and not here in Vegas. I have a great recipe for a dill dip mix so I made some up, packaged it and attached it to a wooden spoon with the directions needed to make it. </div>

Second, we were finally able to participate in our family gift exchange this year. We had talked about having the kids draw each others names (all the cousins) and then having them make their gift for them. BUT we decided to do this a little late in the month so we drew a family instead. We had the option to make gifts for the kids in that family or do a "family" gift. I opted for the family gift. I saw this idea here on <a href="http://www.mygrafico.com/blog/a-gift-in-a-bottle-25-off">My Grafico Crafts blog</a> for a movie night in a bottle. For some reason I had it in my head that the movie fit in the bottle too, but it doesn't. I filled mine with popcorn, M&M's, other smaller candies and in one went three little pandas to go with the Kung Fu Panda 2 movie that was going along with it. In the other I put three little penguin craft projects to go along with the Mr. Poppers penguins movie. </div>

And third is something that I really loved putting together. This year I got both my mom and MIL gift cert. to Hobby Lobby because when they come to visit it is a must do to go to Hobby Lobby. But I couldn't just mail the gift card so I found this great idea on <a href="http://www.inkingidaho.blogspot.com/">Inking Idaho</a> (she is amazing by the way)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It is a small box with a transparency slide. It hold 3x3 cards and 3 Hershey Nuggets. </div>

I made four different cards to go in the box. I probably could have fit at least one more but it was late and I could hardly see straight. Plus the flower card took up too much room for another card</div>

I used DollarTree bulbs and ribbon. I love the original ideas with the beads and hooking them on so that they don't move but because I used these plastic ones they didn't have the removable top. So I improvised. <br />

Once I finished it and added the red bulbs I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I am a HUGE fan of polka dots and figured why not go with that.<br />
<br />
So I made a ruffle garland from my red and white polka dot fabric, saw the poms at Michael's and envisioned more polka dots so I strung those as well. <br />

I love my new stand I found at HomeGoods. Some one had stripped the screws on it so it was really wobbly. I got it for a discount and went home and glued them in place and it's as good as new.<br />
<br />
<br />
The girls got to take these ladybug takeout boxes home full of treats from the table.<br />

For our Relief Society meeting this month we did a let's talk turkey night. We had a great Thanksgiving dinner and some "how to" classes, it was a great evening. As part of that night they had a table with different place settings that people had signed up to bring to show different ways to set your table. I signed up to bring one of those settings. <br />
<br />
<br />
Of course fall colors were swirling around in my head but then I realized I don't have a "fall" plate setting. What do I have? I have my Crate & Barrel dishes that I have yet to use. They're a white ruffle'y' looking plate and that's where my inspiration came from.<br />
<br />
I decided to go with ruffles and burlap. I've wanted to do a project with burlap for a long time and knew this would be perfect. I went to Joann's to buy my burlap and some white fabric, burlap is really inexpensive which I'm thrilled about. (now I can do more projects in burlap)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhglPQxsPC0C-U-U825yAbImLIVYHbwDBbnpLxWkVelFEVrPn82JJ210BRW03wcPQ7GMeIiXYd1Z8Jf7KeQNgEM5fLph25xv60DfSMLiyf_s9yV85aBc5K8u4MUfkCEMa0h-Fvg4mPB0Xg/s1600/IMG_7085.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhglPQxsPC0C-U-U825yAbImLIVYHbwDBbnpLxWkVelFEVrPn82JJ210BRW03wcPQ7GMeIiXYd1Z8Jf7KeQNgEM5fLph25xv60DfSMLiyf_s9yV85aBc5K8u4MUfkCEMa0h-Fvg4mPB0Xg/s320/IMG_7085.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
First I used an old placemat to get the size I wanted. I made it a little wider than normal because I knew I was adding a ruffle to the edge. I frayed the edges a little and made a ruffle out of the white fabric. I then glued that to one edge.<br />
<br />
<br />
I also made a napkin ring from a tp roll by gluing some burlap around it and adding a small ruffle. <br />

I had made apple crisp for my YW activity so I thought it would be fun to add a single dessert serving to the place setting. I wrapped the jar in twine and added the label.</div>

I have been SO excited to decorate for Halloween this year. I've been collecting things and ideas since the end of August. I've finally got the house in enough order and most of it unpacked that I couldn't wait any longer. I'm only about half done, I still need to do out side and get some pumpkins but for now this will hold me over.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I pinned a lot of ideas on Pinterest and these are some that I actually did.</div>

I made my own spell book from a old dictionary I found at DI. I made my spell pages in Printshop and distressed them to make them look old and well used. I turned the corners of the book and sprayed random pages with a water. I also used my brown ink to make it look older. I love how it turned out!!<br />

I also used some inspiration I saw at Pottery Barn. I've been collecting apothecary jars from HomeGoods for a few months knowing what I wanted to use them for ~ best place to buy them!<br />

I used my favorite frame from Hobby Lobby to put a print from Less Cake More Frosting that she designed. I'm still searching for a square bowl to put on top of that candle holder and paint it all black so I can stick in a white pumpkin. I made the small stand from a candle plate and candle stick I found at the Dollar Tree. <br />

I saw this table runner at the Polka Dot Market and LOVED it!! But the price was a little high so I figured I could make my own and I love how it turned out. I'm planning on putting 3 white pumpkins with vinyl "Trick or Treat" on them to go on top but I'm still waiting on the vinyl to arrive that I ordered so I'll show ya that once it's done. <br />

I've been creating folders on my computer for a long time collecting great ideas or products. This is SO much better. Not only do I have the image but it keeps the link for the site from which it came. LOVE!!!
<br />
<br />So this is mostly for those here in Las Vegas who've I've put a call out too about doing a Stamp'n Up Card Club. I wanted to show you all the fun things I've found that we can do together. I had such a great experience with the Card Club I was in in Idaho that I am dying to start one here. And I have to say it's not to make money from others buying Stamp'n Up products, it's to do something creative again and to do it with great people. I looked forward to it every month, being able to be creative for a few hours, getting together with great ladies and being inspired by their creativeness.
<br />
<br />Here's a peak at some of the fun things I've found to do. You can see more on my boards at Pinterest.

<br /></div>
<br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The structure of the club:</span>
<br />We would meet once a month on a Saturday morning or if there is an evening that works for most.
<br />
<br />We would make 5 projects, some cards, some gifty things, or what ever else I've found to do. I would supply everything needed to make these 5 projects.
<br />
<br />In return you would purchase a determined $ amount of Stamp'n Up product, they sell way more than stamps. Punches, paper, ribbon, I could go on.
<br />
<br />Once we've got things under control we could also start a card exchange. Each person would make how ever many cards as there are people participating and we would all swap.
<br />
<br />Bonus is that one person a month would be the "hostess" and receive some free products.
<br />
<br />
<br />So I hope you'll take a look at my "things I can make board" or any other board for that matter, and see all the cuteness we could create.
<br />
<br />If you need and invite leave me a comment saying so and I'll send you one.
<br />
<br />I hope you can feel my excitement and love for doing fun things like this.

I am SO excited to decorate this year and seriously considering throwing a party. But one of the fun things I like to do to start off the month of Oct. is the "you've been Booed" treat. My kids think it is SO fun to ring and run and this is a fabulous excuse to do it. I've seen lots of versions of the signs and instructions for this and wanted to make my own this year.
<br />
<br />
Anyone now in Vegas who gets this will know it's from me <span style="font-size: 85%;">(well that it started with me, you never know who's passed it on)</span> but I wanted to share.

Also I'm going through my files and posting images I've saved from before "Pinterest" so I can pin them. Unfortunately I didn't always save the source where I got the image, so if you see something and know where I got it PLEASE let me know so I can give due credit.

I had to have something cute to give her. I was looking around on line and fell in love with the ruffle bum bloomers I found on numerous etsy shops except they were like $15 for one bloomer. Now I am not a sewer BUT I know some one who is. So I went on line and found a free pattern and headed to JoAnn's for some cute fabric.<br />
<br />
I am so lucky to have friends that sew. Thank you again Laura they turned out super cute and my sister loved them!!!<br />

And while I was browsing through etsy shops I came across one with absolutely adorable little shoes that I just could pass up. It's called <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/pink2blue">PinktoBlue </a>and she is amazing!!!! I made a few flower headbands to match the shoes and it all turned out super cute.</div>

The message this month for VTing is about self reliance. And because I like to bring a little something when I go <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/2011/04/tin-can-treats-for-mothers-day/">THIS</a> idea came to me from <a href="http://www.ourbestbites.com/">Our Best Bites</a>. I adapted it a little to make it my own and I love how it turned out. I found the image on line somewhere but can not remember where. If you'd like it let me know and I'd be happy to share. </div>

I was so occupied with everything else it completely slipped my mind until people had started eating. So this is what you get instead.<br />
<br />
these were the tables obviously, I did mini poms and wrapped them around the napkin and silverware. Each place had their own bowl of chips and salsa.<br />

Center pieces were the frames I painted from the dollar store and I had a few quotes about mothers and daughters with them as well.<br />

I had been growing this grass for a month, way longer than needed but it turned out to be super cute.<br />
<br />
We had some great desserts, mini cheese caked, mini chocolate cupcakes, & stuffed strawberries.<br />
<br />
Dinner was taco salad.<br />
<br />
we also had a photo booth that the moms and daughter had their picture taken in and then we printed them out for them to take home in the frames that were on the table.<br />
<br />
We also played the newly wed game only with questions for the mom's and daughters to answer.<br />
<br />
I had so much fun putting all this together, can't wait to do another party!<br />

It has always looked kinda cheap to me. <span style="font-size: 130%;">BUT </span>I must also confess I <span style="font-size: 130%;">LOVE</span> these felt flowers!!!! I'm sorry I can't remember where I originally saw them to give credit but oh my heck! SO cute. I also have to say I love the fabric button maker I invested in to make the centers for these flowers. This is what the girls get to take home from the Mother/Daughter Activity I'm planning. The idea is they take a picture with their mom in a "photo booth" I'll have set up and then print the pictures out there so that they can add them to the frames to take home. I'm also using the empty frames for the center pieces on the tables. I'm loving h0w they're coming along so far!<br />
