Today I have another Valentines Project that I have been working on.

This fun “Be Mine” Banner:

It is about 3 feet long, so it was hard to get a great picture of the whole thing together! But it is cute because it is that long! It looks great and makes a statement all on its own, but you could add some fun heart decorations to go with it too! I think that I am going to find some kind of lights and a garland to go with mine for my mantle, but I wanted to get this post out to you so you could make one if you want to! (So you get the plain version!)

January 10, 2013Printables, Quotes, Thursday's ThoughtsDon't judge others, don't judge others because they sin differently than you, don't judge others quote, don't judge others thought, printable, quote, Thought, Thursday's ThoughtRita

Today my thought is one that you have probably heard before. I have had it for several years written in vinyl in my hallway. And President Utchdorf used it in one of his conference talks, so it must be a good one right?!

I have to remind myself of this when I tend to get critical of others.

This is a good thought to print and have where it is a constant reminder…at least for me it is!

This print is now available in my shop as a pdf download

Don’t Judge Others

Happy Thursday Everyone! Love Ya!

Here is my January Calendar!

I had so much fun decorating this month! I think because Christmas was over and I am excited to start the new year. I went with the snowflake theme and even though I don’t really like the cold, I love how beautiful everything looks covered in snow. I had one of my grandsons’ in the car with me yesterday and he said, “Look Grandma, everything looks glittery!” And I must agree that it did… the sun was hitting the snow just right and it looked like glitter had fallen right from heaven! So Pretty.

How many of you have started a diet with the new year?

How many of you feel like this:

I know that I do!

Ugh, why does it have to be so hard to lose weight and sooo easy to gain it?

Life is too short to not add a little humor in there, so hope that you will enjoy the thought for today!

I may need to print this and put it in my exercise room so that I will have something to laugh at!

Have a great day everyone! (and if you are exercising today, run and extra lap for me, OK?) Love Ya!
