Thursday’s Thought–Lucky Me

Today’s thought is just a repost from a couple of years ago. 

I assume that everyone has their Valentines stuff all figured out by now, so we’ll start thinking of the next holiday, okay?

 St. Patrick’s day is not a holiday that I usually do too much for.  But I decided that I could decorate my repurposed tray that sits on my kitchen counter.  This is what I came up with:

 I made these printables to share with you.  There is one cutsie one, and two modern ones.  You can just print them and frame it like I did here.

Thursday’s Thought-“You Are The Ice…

Gift ideas, Printables, Thursday's Thoughts, , , , , , , ,

My DIL and I are attending the Roots Tech conference this weekend and the only reason that we signed up is to listen to the

“PIONEER WOMAN”

she is seriously one of my idols and I cannot wait to hear her!  We have seen her once before when she was in Salt Lake City for her first cookbook signing!  We do not even know what the other classes are, but she is a keynote speaker and so we wanted to be there!

Here is just a fun little thought for you today.  This could be used for Valentines day, an anniversary, or just to put with your Coca-Cola collection!  We are big Coke fans here at are our house, so this would be a perfect Valentine for me to give to my husband along with a case of his favorite bottled Mexican Coke!

This is formatted to an 8 x 10, so it is perfect for framing. 

To print this, right click over the image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder.  Or you can right click over the image and go to “copy image”  then open your favorite program like Word or Presentations.  Right click again and go to “paste”.  You can then print.

So do any of you have a Coco-Cola lovers in your family that you need to make a sign for?

Thanks for Visiting!  Love Ya!

Feb. 2014 Visiting Teaching Handout

Church, Gift ideas, paper crafting, Printables, Quotes, VT Handouts, , , , , , , , , , ,

Is it really February already? (well, almost)  My oh my, how times flies when you are having fun! :)

Here is my handout for my church’s visiting teaching handout for February.

All of the lessons this year are focused on a trait of the Savior.  

I love the trait for this month:

“Good Shepherd”

I decided to use this quote from President Monson: “Ours is the responsibility to care for the flock…May we each step up to serve” but the scriptures that are quoted this month are also excellent quotes and ideas!

Today for my Thursday Thought, I thought that I would give you my thought but also give you a printable to go along with that thought…

My thought is:

Serve Someone Today!

I had a request for some everyday jar toppers and so that is what I have for my post today.  I would love it if you would print these out, put something fun in the jar and deliver it to someone…JUST BECAUSE!

Valentine M&M’s Cookies

Cookies, Gift ideas, Recipes, Valentines, , , , , , , , , ,

I must really have Valentines on the brain this week, because this is the 4th Valentines post this week!  

There must be love in the air here!

Today I have these yummy M&M’s Valentine cookies.  This recipe has been in our family for a long time.  The name of these cookies on my recipe card is:  “Leora’s Chocolate Chip Cookies”  This is a nickname that I have had for my sister for a long time, I don’t really even remember where it came from, but I remember saying “Leora” in a mocking tone every time I called her that!  Some things just never go away, do they? 

Anyway, here is my version of these yummy cookies:

Thursday’s Thought-Every Love Story…

Gift ideas, Printables, Quotes, Valentines, , , , , , , , , ,

How is everyone doing today?  I am still in the cleaning out and organizing mode!  I love it when I get in this mode, I seem to get this way every January and I have to take advantage of it because it does not seem to stay very long!  I got my closet all cleaned out and organized and most of my office (I still need to work on my desk top a little bit)  Today, I put a BUNCH of stuff away in my scrapbook room and organized somewhat.  I still have so many scrapbook supplies from when I owned my store.  I need to purge some of it out, but I don’t really even know where to start!  How about you, are you in the cleaning/organizing mode or has that mode already passed you by? :)

Well, here is my Thursday’s Thought for this week.  I thought that this would be a fun one to print and put in a frame to put in my kitchen to go along with my few Valentines decorations.

I love this saying :

Every-Love-Story-000-Page-1

 

This would be a fun little framed gift or it would also make a cute card or tag!

To print, right click  over image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder.  Or you can right click over image and go to “copy image”  then open your favorite program like Word or Presentations, right click again and go to “paste”  You can then size it and print it.  This is formatted to 8 x 10 for those that would like to send it to their favorite photo processing center.

I hope that you are having a great day…be sure to  Hug the ones you love today.

Thanks for visiting!  Love Ya!
