Ribbon Storage Closet

Posted on by

I promised that I would show you my ribbon closet someday, and now that someday is here!  I have a fetish for ribbon and when I owned a scrapbook store we had a great selection of ribbons and I was always adding to it.  When I closed the store down, I brought home about 1/4 of the bolts of ribbons.  We sold all the rest, but I still came home with 2 racks of ribbon!  I told you I have a fetish!  Most of this is what I came home with.Then I added to this collection with a lot of ribbons from Costco.  They come on these big rolls, so I put them on spring curtain rods.  I added the shelf to work on.  I know that it is not fancy, but it does the job! I have the shelf in the corner for future ribbons!  You wouldn’t want me to run out of ribbon now would you?

I made these Lemon Cream Cupcakes for Easter and they were a big hit with everyone.  They are very refreshing with all the lemon zest, fresh squeezed lemon juice, a lemon glaze and all topped off with a cream cheese frosting!  YUM.  They are very pretty and would be fun for any spring or summer get together like showers, bunco, girl’s night out, book club, etc. Continue reading →

Shopping finds!

When my husband and I went on our little vacation a couple of weeks ago, I went shopping at several fun stores that we don’t have in Utah.  One of the first stops is always Scrapbooks Etc. but now it is Scrapbooks and fabric!  Twice the fun!  I love to look at all the fun ideas in this shop and it is always at the top of my list of shopping stops!  I could spend a couple of hours in this store just drooling over all the fun products and displays that they have!  I picked out a few pieces of fabric for a new purse that I want to make.And I got this “Smash Book”  ( When I told my husband that I got a “Smash Book”, he looked at me funny and said, “you bought a book about mammograms?”  He thought that he was so funny!)

So who wants to make a photo block? Continue reading →

April 2012, VT Message: Love, Watch Over and Strengthen

Posted on by

The message for this month is a great message to teach us all how to be better visiting teachers, but for the message to give your sisters I chose to concentrate on the title, “Love, Watch Over and Strengthen”.  It is a great message for anyone and this title exemplifies what we should be doing in the church!

 I included the 9 different steps to help us be better sisters on the flower petals.

To print, right click on the image and go to copy.  Open your favorite program like Word or Presentations.  Right click again and go to paste.  You can re-size to any size.  I printed mine in 4″ x 6″.  I like to print on photo paper or glossy card stock paper.

Gardening Time!

I am really excited to try the new Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro™  Concentrated Planting Mix.  I recently went on a vacation and when I got home, much to my dismay, a couple of my potted plants had died. If I had had this mix,( that retains up to 50 % more moisture), my plants would have been just fine.  If I use this soil, I won’t have to worry when I am gone for several days at a time. You also only have to fill your pots part way with this soil and then add water and it expands 3 times so it saves money on potting soil. I plant lots of pots of flowers outside in the summer, so it will be great to save on the potting soil and not have to water them quite so often!

Expand ‘n Gro™

I also want to try this mix in my garden because I have a little bit of clay in the soil and by adding this mix it will really help to add mulch and nutrients to the soil and the benefits can last for several years. Plus it will feed my plants for up to 6 months helping them to grow up to 3 times bigger, producing more fruits and veggies!  It is an easy way to prep my garden for the spring and summer growing seasons.

So let’s all get out there and start growing!

Mini Strawberry Donuts

I had a couple of cute little helpers at my house yesterday, so I decided that it would be a good day to make mini donuts.  I wanted to try a new kind…Strawberry.  So I just kind of made up a recipe, they turned out OK, but I wish that I had added more strawberries or at least some kind of strawberry flavoring.  But they got eaten pretty darn fast, so I guess that no one else cared that they didn’t have more strawberry flavor!

Spring Letters

Posted on by

I found these fun letters at the Wood Connection before my trip to Arizona.  I like that they say “Spring” , so that I can keep them out until May!  My daughter and I got together and painted these letters yesterday. (do you like the mess, big chill cup and all) We used the easy paint technique here, that I used for the “Family” letters so I am not going to give a tutorial in this post.

I love these fun papers and the cute design in the letters! Especially the letter “i”.  And of course I love the ribbons on some of the letters.
This picture has been enhanced, but I love the fun vibrant colors.  I put these fun letters on my kitchen table and every time I walk by I feel like I have a early glimpse of spring right there in my kitchen!  It makes me happy.   We only use our kitchen table on Sunday when everyone comes over for dinner, so I do not have to move them every time we eat! :)

  My daffodils are blooming, my tulips are all up and starting to bloom, my garden is starting to sprout…I think that spring is really going to come!

So what makes you happy for spring?
