Sunday's Sermon

" It is our imperative Duty to help youth understand and believe the gospel in a deeply personal way. We can teach them to walk in the light, but that light cannot be borrowed. They must earn it for themselves. They must obtain their own light of testimony directly from the source of spiritual light, God himself, through prayer and study and pondering. They must understand who they are and who Heavenly Father wants them to become."

Elder Robert D. Hales
Of The Quarm of the Twelve Apostles
April 2010 Conference

Bathroom Update

Paint makes all the difference...

Don't you think?

My favorite place to go get paint is Habitat for Humanity Re-Store. You cant always pick the exact color you want, but you can always find something close. So, if you aren't too picky...Give it a try (the link above is for the Utah County Store off of Orem Blvd. Near Target).

I also love the white shelves that were laying around not even being used

and those cute glass jars (Walmart).

Next job in the bathroom...

Convince my husband that it would be great idea to let me paint the wood cabinets ;)

Decorative Job Cans

The kids and I made this project a while back. We use it as their daily 'To-Do' List. They wanted to create their own pictures and job sticks, but if they didnt want to I probably would have printed clip art and then laminated them all so that they were more permanent.

All you need is:
Two Empty and Clean Cans
Scrapbook Paper
Glue
Ribbon
Popsicle Sticks

It is a pretty self explanatory project. Just measure, cut, glue and draw.
