YW Decorative Jars (vases)
Last week I helped decorate some jars for the Young Women in Excellence night. I printed these cute value cover pages created by melanie at sugardoodle.net, shrunk them, printed them on color paper, and taped them to mason jars (2 per jar). Add some ribbon at the top and you have a decorative jar/vase to display. These ones were used as centerpieces on the tables with flowers in them! So cute! To view more please visit my blog!

Bag Embellishment!
For our ward enrichment service project we got 25 fred meyer reusable grocery bags donated. So I decided to embellish them with cute puppy faces. I just cut 3 ovals out of felt for each face and a little white for the patch. I used a hot glue gun to attach them to the bag (less is better, it doesn’t show through as bad with a thin layer of glue). We then filled the bags with blankets, hygiene kits, stuffed animals, crayon roll ups (see below), coloring books, and story books. It was a great enrichment! We donated the bags to our local foster care center. 12 of the bags!…

Enrichment Poster!
I am an enrichment leader at church and I love to make posters for up and coming events. Here is one I finished the other day, it turned out very cute. I just cut some cordinating papers, glued them down, added some letters and printed information with color backing, a couple buttons, that is ribbon down the middle, oh and I used a corner cutter for the corners of the paper. The size was half of a poster board. I used a distressing ink on the edges too. To view more please visit my blog!

Nursing Cover
These are super handy for a nursing mother and they are fairly simple to make. This one is made from about 1/2 yard of material (you can use more if you prefer) edges are folded twice over, ironed and stitched. At the top I make a little casing for the boning to fit in and I slide it in before sewing it off on the sides. (Boning can be purchased at JoAnn’s). I made matching ties for the neck piece(sew strips of fabric right sides together, then turn right side out, stitch to cover. I just tie mine off but you can also use D rings to fastin. Try it!!…

Baby Shower Food and Game
The shower I threw (with help) last week turned out so fun. Here are pictures of the food. Cupcakes (decorated with brown and blue). Punch made with a ice ring (had blueberries and puch frozen in a bunt cake mold). Little watermelon baby carriages. Filled with watermelon, cantelope, and pinapple. There are lots of instructions online on how to make these. Very easy and I found that cutting the bottom flat and poking holes in the bottom helped keep it stable and the juice can drain out and not gather at the bottom. Finally we played a baby consentration game. Unfortunately I forgot to take a before picture. But here…
