New Beginnings

seek the sweet

NEW BEGINNINGS

“If there is anything virtuous, lovely, or of good report or praiseworthy, we seek after these things."

New Beginnings was a Candy Shoppe theme.

My mom was our guest speaker and my sister and her kids were able to join us too.

Every Sunday for Young Women's we have used this little beauty for our announcements. Tacking it to the top of the chalk board for this 5'2" girl has not been so easy!

So, Andy and I came up with this solution: a Magnet Board. It is a piece of metal Andy cut and painted white for me. Then, I used my handy little CriCut to cut out vinyl lettering for the headings. Then, I printed each girl's and leader's name on the cute pink paper and attached it to magnetic backing. Then, I mod-podged the whole thing so that when the girls handle the magnets each Sunday, they won't get worn out so easily. I also printed enough numbers (0-9) for the hymns we sing.

We store names and numbers on the back when they're not in use.

I just lean it on the bottom edge of the chalk board and it makes my life so much easier!

Happy Day

My graduate student loans are paid off!

What a good feeling.

Sweet Treats

It was also a sweet treat for Macy to get to hang out with her boyfriend Gus, who she towers over. :)

Decorating

The past few months I have been helping my friend Liz decorate her house. It has been a lot of fun and I wanted to show some of you the results since her blog is private.

Liz recovered her chairs and painted the table all on her own. I LOVE how it turned out!

Liz really did so much of it on her own and I was more of a consultant. Nonetheless, it was a lot of fun. I think I have rearranged/redecorated my house one too many times so it is a great distraction to work on another house for a change.

I would love to decorate your house if you are interested. I can offer the following reasonably priced design services:

Consulting by the Hour - I find most of us just need someone to bounce ideas off of and talk through the options with. $25 an hour.

Shopping Spree - Let's hit up some shops together and make a few purchases to spruce up your space. Prices vary.

Please contact me if interested.
