This weekend is the General Conference for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (the Mormons). I love conference weekend and look forward to it every six months! For those of you that want to know what conference is all about…you can check it out here.

I love conference weekend, because we can stay home and watch it on TV (in our jamies, if we choose to!) Sometimes we have all of our families together and sometimes my husband and I just watch it together. But there is always a great spirit in our home and I love the messages that are taught and the things that I can learn!

I have already downloaded and printed my conference packet from Sugardoodle and I have my conference notebook ready to go.. to take notes…doodle…and just enjoy the weekend!

It is always a must to have some great treats or food while watching conference! :)

So I decided that I would make some fun tags to go along with your conference goodies! These are fun to pass along to your VT sisters, or to make for your family, or friends! You can tie them onto individual serving size packages for everyone, or make one big package for the whole family!

This a post that I posted a couple of weeks ago over at I Should Be Mopping the Floor, but wanted to share it with you here!

Well, I think that it is officially Spring here. Well, maybe not officially, but it is snowing or raining one day and beautiful sunshine the next, so isn’t that the definition of spring? I love when the flowers start popping out of the ground and there is hope of the warmer weather coming. But, sometimes I just cannot wait for it to come, so I decided to bring it in a little bit earlier with my Spring in a bottle(s)!

I have been playing with my Silhouette machine again and taking another class from Kerri Bradford. The class that I took to design these scrapbook pages is called Just Add Color.

I don’t really do that much scrapbooking any more, but I wanted to learn these new techniques and so I decided that it would be fun to create these pages in 8.5 x 11 format and then I could frame them in an 8 x 10 frame if I wanted to!
