Sticker Craft... Loved the idea... saw it on Martha Stewart.



http://www.marthastewart.com/article/floral-sticker-wreath (check out the website and you can see a complete video on this craft... so cute and creative).
Enliven your decor with this floral sticker wreath from Hannah Milman, our executive editorial director of crafts.

Tools and Materials

•Chipboard or thin cardboard (such as that from the back of a pad of paper)
•Circle cutter
•Three-dimensional flower stickers
•Tape
•Scissors
•Thin ribbon





Floral Sticker Wreath How-To
1. Cut a 5-inch circle from the chipboard with the circle cutter. With the circle cutter held in the same place, cut a 5 1/2-inch circle around the first to make a small wreath form (the wreath form can be cut to any size and width; feel free to experiment with different shapes).

2. Cut individual stickers from the sticker sheets, leaving the stickers on the clear plastic backing. Arrange the stickers on the chipboard wreath form until you are pleased with the layout. Remove the plastic backings and adhere the stickers to the chipboard.

3. On the back of the wreath, cover any exposed sticky parts with tape. Trim any chipboard that is still showing through the front.

4. Make a ribbon loop to hang the wreath by sliding the ribbon between the stickers and tying a small knot.

10 Things sure to make me smile.

"Discovering new "Home Remedies"... Did you know that Baking Soda and White Vinegar will unclog a sink? I learned that on "The Doctors". It totally worked! I felt like I was doing a science project in school. I just hoped I didn't blow up the bathroom. It was a success! Hunter thought it was pretty cool to see. :)


















Going to the GYM!!! Oh how that makes me smile. It makes me feel like I have accomplished something and I feel better about myself when I leave.

















PANTENE!!!! This is the best shampoo for curly hair. I would recommend it to anyone for any kind of hair... I love the new style and formula's they have come out with.
















The "Boys" in my life. They are my everything!








































Finding a new fun clothing shop... This shop is in the "Town of Tioga Center". My friend and I were walking around after our gym workout and noticed a cute outfit. Loved the shop,styles were cute and prices were great!!!















My Adorable Kindergartner.... Hunter started Archer Elementary on Monday. What a big boy! I'm so excited to be a Kindergartener's Mom. I loved when I picked him up today and he had the biggest smile on his face when he saw me. Oh how that makes me SMILE.


















Fun Websites....http://fabulesslyfrugal.com/







The Ensign...Having the Ensign in my home is just one more way my Heavenly Father shows me he loves me by proving uplifting articles that nourish my soul.














Online Scrap booking.....
I love to scrapbook! I enjoy seeing all the fun memories that we as a family are making. The amazing friends that we have and the time we cherish together.







Fun Kid Lunches.... Hunter has loved his lunch at school. Honestly, I think I have had more fun putting it together. I have used shapes to make sandwiches and Raisins to make smiley faces. I sure got lots of fun ideas from this site. Oh how I love being a mom... this sure makes me smile to see my boys happy.

I got these pics off of this site... have fun creating your kids lunch.
