Today I have a fun Monster Mash mix to make. This is perfect for any of your fall gatherings, football night, Halloween party, neighbor treat, visiting teaching, teacher gift, FHE or just a great sweet and salty mix for yourself!
These are cute in a mason jar:

Before I begin my post with the visiting teaching message, I would like to wish you all a very safe and fun Labor Day! It is always fun to celebrate the last summer weekend and I hope that you get to spend it with someone you love…doing something that you love to do! I spent the weekend at my most favorite boutique…Swiss Days! I will share some of my finds with you tomorrow. But let’s get on with the visiting teaching message for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints:
I can’t believe it…fall is right around the corner. My big maple tree is just starting to turn red, the kids are back in school, Swiss Days is coming this weekend, (yeah!) it is canning season and the air is finally starting to cool down a bit! So I guess that it time to start with some fall projects and fall thoughts! :)
This thought just makes me smile because I think that I would probably like to sit on a pumpkin alone, too!
I think that I am going to print and frame this and put it in my kitchen, just because it makes me smile to think about sitting on my own pumpkin!
Even though there are still a few days left in August…Happy Fall Y’all! :)
I have not done a Thursday thought in awhile so I decided that it was time to get back into my routine! If you are a grandma or you have a grandma you will know what this thought is all about! :)
This has the same meaning as the Las Vegas Slogan: What happens in Vegas Stays in Vegas.
What happens at Grandma’s stays at Grandma’s!
Right? I think so.
This would be a fun as a framed print for your grandma! I am sure that it would make her smile. If you don’t print it, at least send it on to her.
I love being a grandma and having fun with the grandkids. They find joy in the simplest things and I love looking at the world through their eyes! I love that I can spoil them and then send them home! :)
Well, another week is almost over and Thursday is already here…so that means that it is time to do my Thursday’s Thought!
Click here for the download: Life isn’t about finding yourself
I love this thought, because we really do create our own selves. Everything that we do, or don’t do…defines who we are and that is exciting that we can control our own destiny! Many different things and circumstances make up our lives and how we live and react to those things make up who become!
Happy Thursday Everyone and Thanks for Visiting!
I wanted to do an Americana print that I could print and frame or put on a wooden block, so I decided this would be a good Thursday’s thought for this week!
I am so grateful to live in this free country where I get to choose what I do everyday…I get to choose how I worship…I get to choose where I live…I get to choose how to spend my time.. and how I raised my family! There are some things that we all disagree with on how this country is run…but in the end, it is still one of the greatest countries!
To download the PDF click on this link: America the beautiful,
I have enhanced the color and a few things on this print that are not on the PDF. If you would like to print it as seen, right click over the image and go to “save image as” then you can save in a folder and print it from there. It is formatted for an 8 x 10 image.
I think that I have a wooden block in my craft stash, so I think that this image will soon be in the making as a photo block! If you want to do this as a photo block, remember that it has to be printed with a matte finish!
and if you live in this great country, show your patriotic pride by being grateful for the freedoms that you enjoy!
I don’t know about you, but in the summertime when it is hot, I don’t really like to spend a lot of time in the kitchen cooking meals…so I always like to stock my pantry, so that I can usually pull a meal together in no time at all! Really I like to have my pantry stocked all of the time, but for some reason I tend to do it better in the summer time!
I decided that for my post today I would share a pantry shopping list that I put together:

Today for my Thursday’s thought, I decided that I had better do one more Father’s Day quotes. I think that this one is so true. Good dad’s are sometimes hard to come by. I am so grateful for my own father and the great example that he is to my family and I. We all just love him to death! I am also grateful for my husband’s father. He too, is well loved by all of us!
This would be fun printed and framed for the father in your life! To print just click on this link: Father’s Day
I am also so grateful for my husband who was always there for my children as they were growing up…and is still there for them all the time. They still value his opinion on things from raising the kids to finances to sports questions and everything in between! It is so great that they feel like they can call him anytime and he will take the time to talk to them!
If you have a great father in your life, be sure to tell him how much you love and appreciate all that he has done for you!
It’s time once again for the visiting teaching handout for my church.
This month the message is Divine Mission of Jesus Christ: Minister.
I really love this message this month, because so many great things happen when we minister to each other! We truly can be the answer to other people’s prayers and what a great feeling that is! I chose to focus on the quote from David L. Beck:
My thought today comes from the courtesy of my bag of chips from one of my favorite sandwich places…Scholtzsky’s !
I think that there might only be one of these restaurants in Utah now, there used to be several, but they are hard to find now! :(
My husband and I eat here a couple of times a month! I love, love, love the bread that they make the sandwiches on! :) When I saw this saying, I just knew that I wanted to add it as one of my Thursday’s Thought. This is right up my alley!
So this summer, as you are eating chips with all of sandwiches, I want you to remember this little saying! :)
Have a great Thursday Everyone!
