Since Father’s Day is in June, I decided to make a calendar to honor Father’s! I love the mustache craze and thought that it would be fun to incorporate them in my theme for this month! I love how this turned out and the grandkids are having fun with the interactive mustaches!
This month the visiting teaching handout for June is titled “Joy in Family History”.
My husband and I both come from families that have several people that do a lot of family history and a lot of our work has been done, but we went to one of the church’s family history centers several months ago and one of the really fun things that we did was to generate a family genealogy fan! This is a great image that will show you all of your ancestors all in the same place. It shows you who has been found and where there are holes in your lines. It is really a cool way to see everything all at once!
You do not have to go to a family history center to generate your own fan, anyone can do your own online here:
This is a fun way to get started with your family history, or if you have already done some of your history, this is a great way to see what you have done and where the holes need to be filled in. I really encourage you to try this and also to encourage your sisters that you visit to try it out. I would love for you to share this link with them.
So this month, for the visiting teaching message, I thought that it would just be fun to do a tag that says “Scatter Sunshine through Family History”.
I needed a few Christmas tags for our Sinterklass Party so I decided to design a few and now I want to share them with you!
They are for you to print and use for your own personal use.
Here is my December calendar!
This month for my calendar, I decided to make a fun little garland using mini cupcake liners and doilies! I think that it turned out pretty cute. You could use this idea with regular sized cupcake liners and doilies to make a bigger one and of course you could change up the colors to use for any season!
Hi everyone. Today I am doing a guest post over at The Wood Connection. I am showing how to make this fun whimsical Christmas frame. Be sure to visit them to see a full tutorial on how to paint and glitter this cute little project along with a great technique on how to paint and glitter the wooden dots!
If you are visiting from the Wood Connection…Welcome! I am glad that you are here and hope that you will stay a while and take a look around and that you will want to come back again and again!
Here are the printables for this frame. I have done both 11 x 14 (which is the size frame that I did) and 8 x 10 sizes. Continue reading
This first printable is for Thanksgiving Place cards and you can print them here.
There are 4 different ones to choose from or you can do a variety of all of them! These are just a fold-over, so you just need to print, cut, fold in half and write names, or you could have everyone write one blessing, and have everyone guess who wrote what blessing! So easy!

I am scheduled to be on between 7:30 and 8:00 am!
I will be showing several different ways that you can use up all of that Halloween Candy
and I would love to have you join me!
This month your message will come from one of the conference talks. There are so many good ones, but I tend to gravitate to the ones on service. (Maybe that means that I need to serve more?!)
So I chose the talk from Sister Burton on “First Observe, Then Serve”
I thought that it would be fun to do a subway art picture for Father’s Day, but instead of just words I did “Dad Sayings.” I had a fun time remembering a few of the things that my husband used to say to the kids! This would make a fun gift or just put it up for a little summer decor. It would look great in a double frame with a picture of you and your dad!
