Little projects!

My sister Mel is super creative.  I keep telling her she needs to start a blog- share her ideas with the world.  She says she can just share them with me and I'll take care of it.  No fair!  I want in on the crafts and less computer!

Anyway, here are just a few little projects she's been working on

Cute clipboard countdown for Christmas yeah?

Love these journals!

  

I am so doing this.  The reason why I love this is because these notebooks are 99 cents at Wal-Mart.  AND, when you start accumulating journals it's annoying when they are all different shapes and sizes.  On a bookcase, in a drawer, whatever and wherever you end up putting your full journals, using a consistent size will make things look so much cleaner!

Birthday posters!

CAUUUUUTE HUH?!  Her kids absolutely LOVE these posters.  The posters are right next to their dinner table and the boys were constantly talking about the pictures and "remember when's".  It was so cute!

Anyway.  Just a few cute ideas for ya!

Blog Design Lovin'

Alright.  Who is in love with my new blog design?  Anyone?  I'm totally in love with it.  I had this idea in my head and Melissa Bastow totally made it come to life!  She is such a talented illustrator.  Her blog is called Green Jello with Carrots

You can find LDS clipart, file folder activities, games, FHE stuff and the list goes on and on and on.  She'll be doing a fun giveaway in a few weeks so definitely stay posted!  Another fun site she helps run is Peonies and Poppyseeds.  You can find free printables and craft tutorials- it's soooo cute!  

Anyway, check out her stuff and if you're in the need of a blog makeover you can find Melissa at Melissabastow@hotmail.com!

Oklahoma part II of II

OSU has these crazy traditions.  Do you see that huge mural behind us?  Made out of tissue paper.  Remember in like, third grade sticking a square of tissue paper on the back of your pencil and dipping it in glue?  Yeah.  That's what this mural is.  And to make it even more awesome, the tradition is that it's not started until the night before the "walk around".  Each sorority/fraternity does one and they are SO awesome!

The WONDERtorium, totally lived up to it's name!

I think someone's getting an easel for Christmas!

 Paint.  All over his hair!

This was the coolest thing ever.  You would stick a ball in it and it would zip through the airways and come out the other side.  Boston nearly lost his mind with it!

She totally destroyed me in checkers.  And yes, look at that belly!

HALLOWEEN!!!

 I told you I'd get a smiling picture!  ha

 Is this not the cutest family you've ever seen? 

Yup, that's sure the sink!

We were super sad to leave Oklahoma.  I'm not sure when we'll make it back.  Boston is BEST friends with the "boys".  He totally played with Hudson for hours and hours without needing me.  It was amazing.  The plane ride home was a disaster, but we are alive.  Buddy has been super sad to not have any cousins around.  I'm tellin' ya, he should have been the youngest!
