Today’s thought makes me reflect on some of the choices that we make…

Some are obviously better than others, but I hope that we can learn from the choices we make, to help us make better choices in the future!

This would be a great print to frame for a gift for a graduating student, or someone going out on their own or just for a reminder to each of us… to think about making good choices!

To print, right click over 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”. This is formatted to an 8 x 10 size.

So let’s go out and make better choices today, shall we? :)

Have a great day today!

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!

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 :

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

Thursday’s Thought- No Pouting Zone

December 5, 2013Christmas, Printables, Quotes, Thursday's ThoughtsChristmas, Christmas printable, Christmas quote, free printable, no pouting zone, no pouting zone printable, printable, Thursday's ThoughtRita

How is everyone coming with all of your Christmas preparations? I have all my decorating done, but really need to hit the shopping and it is just too cold to go outside today, so I guess I have better work on some projects that I have here at home!

Here is my thought for today! When my children were small I needed this sign! So I though it would be fun to make a little reminder that you might want to print and display somewhere in your house where the little ones can see it! :)

To print, right click over image and go to “save image as” then save in a folder. You can also right click over image and go to “copy image” then open your favorite program like word or presentations and right click again and go to “paste”.

I hope that you have a “NO POUTING” Thursday!

(I meant you, not the kids!)

Love Ya!

I hope that you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. We had a great one even though there was a lot of excitement in our neighborhood! One of our neighbors had a fire in their home on Thanksgiving morning! The home received smoke damage and damage to half of the house, but it is not a total loss, thank goodness! We are hoping that they will be able to move back in a week or two! But it will probably take months to get their home all put back together! It really makes you stop and count your blessings and my number one blessing is always my family, as was our neighbor’s! Everyone was safe and that was the most important thing!

But now, here is the December visiting teaching handout for Relief Society for my church I love that it is all about the Savior for this month, because to me that is what Christmas is all about!

I chose to focus on this quote by Elder D. Todd Christofferson.

Today’s thought does not really need any introduction nor explanation.

This little thought says it just how it is!

I am thinking that this would be a great one to print and frame. It is a good reminder about how good life is!

Maybe I need to print this for my Thanksgiving table, or you could print and frame this for a hostess gift for the one that hosts your Thanksgiving dinner! (If that person is you, so be it!)

Hope you all have a WONDERFUL Thursday!

Love Ya!

Today my thought comes from a little 4-wheeling trip that my husband and I took last week! We went up on a family property that we have and it was the most awesome, beautiful, Autumn day, that it just filled my heart with Thanksgiving for all the beauty and blessings that surround us!

What if you woke up today with only the things you thanked God for yesterday?

Makes you think, doesn’t it?

Sometimes the “hurrier” I go the “behinder” I get!

We did a Relief Society Activity at my house last night, so I am a little bit late in getting this posted this morning! I will tell you all about our activity next week, it was a great activity in which we made our 72 hour food kits!

But for today, here is my Thursday “Thanksgiving” Thought.

For some reason, which is good, I have a very thankful heart this season! I am grateful for my family, friends, health and freedom, just to name a very few. I am grateful for a husband who supports me in everything I do. He is my best friend, confidante, supporter and also the biggest tease!

Today, take just a few seconds and look around you at all the blessings that you enjoy, start counting them and soon you will have a very grateful heart too!

Have a grateful day today! Love Ya!

Today I have some of the projects from our craft retreat earlier this fall. We did some fun projects and these are the ones that were done for Autumn and Thanksgiving. I have tons of decorations for Halloween and not so many for Thanksgiving, so I was glad to be able to make these that are for the Thanksgiving season. I think that sometimes we just overlook Thanksgiving and our minds just go straight to Christmas. I know I tend to do that, but I love that fact that we have a holiday to show our Thanks! We all need to look around us at all the blessings that we have and stop and acknowledge them! So, here are a couple of projects that will help you to remember to “Give Thanks!”
