CTR (Choose The Right) Towel

Just this past April David's niece just turned 8 years old. This was a special year, the time to be baptised and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I wanted to make her something that she would love and remember on that special day.

So I saw this very cute idea of a baptism towel online. It came with the template, and a cute little poem. The fabric I used I had left over from something else I had made.(good thing her favorite color was pink) =) So I really only needed the towel for this project. Walmart has nice big towels like this for only $4.oo. After finishing I wrapped it with a bow and sent it off to North Carolina. (where she lives) It turned out way cute. I was glad that she loved it and that she used it on her special baptism day. I can't wait to do more of them, and for all my girls when they are baptised.

The Poem reads:

This baptism towel is to remind you

Of your baptism days all the years through.

When you come out of the water all clean and pure,

Dry off with this towel and you can be sure,

That you are as clean as this towel is white

And the Holy Ghost will be with you both day and night.

For the Holy Ghost is your gift after the laying on of hands,

And will be a comfort and a guide if you obey God's commands.

This CTR emblem will help remind you to be strong

As you continue to learn right and wrong.

When your towel becomes soiled, remember that we, too,

May sometimes make mistakes and we've been taught just what to do.

Just as you can wash your towel so it can again be clean,

The wrongs you make can be washed away and never again be seen.

Your Heavenly Father loves you, remember always to pray,

And he will be beside you for forever and a day.

Petal Party

I had seen this idea on a website I visit most often called http://www.howdoesshe.com/petal-party. Love this website, they always have the cutest ideas. So several of us girlfriends gathered at my house for a "Ladies night out". Everyone brought their own bunches of flowers. We all made about 10 of the same flowers and then exchanged one with another at the end of the party, so we don't end up with 10 of the same flower clip. We all each ended up with different flowers to take home, just like the picture.

The girls were here for Spring break, and every time I think to do something fun when they are here. They had brought their friend Brittany, and we might of burned ourselves a few times with the glue gun, but it was all great fun and laughs. The party turned out great and the flowers clips were all way cute. I will definitely host another one of these.

other stuff I''ve made

From recent to oldest.
Even though I don't have boys.. YET. These make cute gifts.. until maybe we do. So easy to make and fun. So if you want one of these cute baby onsies. Just let me know and I can make one for you.
I thought I would make use of Adelynn's old clothes in a different way. This was an old dress of Adeylnn's that was stained blue on the top. The shirt was too short on the bottom and would ride up on the belly. So I combined the two together making a cute casual dress.
I made the fabric flower and added it to make it look less plain. I have a few more of these reporposed dresses I'm working on now.... using old tops. Will post them when I'm done.
These made cute Christmas gifts for the grandparents. Made on 4x4 tile. So cute, easy and way fast. Tutorial is on U-create on my blog.

Here is one of all the girls. Me and the girls made one together for their Dad as well, but I don't have a picture. But we used their Army picture I took of them at the train station that came out great last year. We made it a 8x10 tile since they look smaller in that picture. Their Dad loved it... and we had fun making it together.

This I made awhile ago. It's a baby tag crinkle toy.... Madison just loved it.

I made a few other things as well.. but didn't take pictures. I am having fun being more creative, and learning to do and make more things. Stay tuned for more later. I have lots still on my to do list.
