Fun Spring Crafts

I have made a few spring crafts these last few weeks and I thought they turned out pretty cute.
This one no longer exists...thanks to Emy! She has successfully peeled off the vinyl and paper. Lately she spends a lot of her "free" time in the office cutting up things I need and peeling vinyl off of crafts or just the big rolls of vinyl that I have. If I ever leave anything unattended she gets out the tweezers and starts pulling letters off of the vinyl that I am working on. She is such a little turkey!

I made these blocks with my sister this week. One side says spring and the other says summer. After she left I redid the spring side on my blocks. I am just not a bright-colored person...it just looked so out of place in my house.

this is how it looks now:



this is how it used to look:


and this is the other side of the blocks:



I have also made a couple of these cute little cubes. I did one for easter and one for spring. I have since changed the spring one a little bit...thanks to Emy! Each side of the cube has a different peice of paper and a different picture or word. They turned out pretty cute and were fun to make. I did an easter one with my sister and a spring one with the old young women's presidency. They all got released from their callings a few months ago and I was left in with the new presidency. We try to get together every month and have lunch and the last two times we have made a craft too. We will have plenty more crafts to make too...a new cube for each season or holiday and maybe one with just family words on it too.
(I borrowed this picture...I haven't taken a picture of mine yet)


We had a couple new girls come into Young Women's and this was their birthday present (a magnet board) that I made for them. It goes with this years theme. I think they turned out pretty cute too. I hope the new beehives liked them!

Bedroom Make Over

So I convinced Jay to let me redo Bridger's bedroom as long as I agreed I couldn't repaint it for at least 5 years!
I bought some new fabric and made him a bed spread that I think he could live with until he left the house when he was older...at least that was my goal.
We painted over the orange and navy stripes in his room with lime green and left the light blue at the top. Then I had a great idea of using red vinyl instead of a chair rail to separate the two colors. It looks just like paint, but we didn't have the head ache of taping off the wall and trying to achieve a straight line. It was so easy to do too! I have sold some "vinyl chair rail" to a couple of other people after they saw his room. I was really happy with the end result. I am still needing to make pillow cases...but that will have to wait for another day.

Any time I have a project that I am working on I lay awake at night trying to think of how to do it. Well, I wanted to put up some vinyl on the walls in the kids rooms and I couldn't decide what to do. I wanted to give it character and I wanted to use some graphics that I had bought. I brainstormed for several days and I am so happy with what I came up with. I did some in each of the kids rooms.

I enlarged the bottom picture to show that I put the girls names in the leaves on the branch.

All in all I had fun redecorating Bridgers room and he is very happy with it. Jay was a great help repainting his room and picking helping me pick out the fabric for the blanket...he pretty much just went along with anything I picked...which made the process quick and easy. He is such a great help and so supportive of my crazy ideas!
