  St. Pattys day 2010     

   St. Pattys day 2009

I just think this is a fun day. It always is during spring break so it gives us something to look forward to do since we never go anywhere.

Cute crown idea

                     Love this

I have many more....perhaps I will add more ideas later. But until then....I'm sure you have lots to get started with.

Amazing Monster tote bags

I REALLLLLLLLLLLLLLY want to make these. Seriously how cute are they!!!!

tutorial found here

Hoodie towels and wall hangings

So my kids love hoodie towels and with 3 of them needing towels now I wanted to make it simple.....I bought a large towel for each of them and a hand towel.

You cut the hand towel in half then sew it to the middle of the large towel the sew the top...and bam...you have a hoodie towel.

I used my cricut to cut out their short names and placed then above their hook.  It turned out just perfectly.

These are big wood plaques that I screwed a decorative knob onto then with my cricut again, cut No. 1 etc.... in vinyl.  Love it!!!!

The Constitution- A Heavenly Banner

This is an AMAZING speech given by Ezra Taft Benson back in 1986. Please take the time to read it. It is worth it.

Prop time

It is almost that time, November 2nd is right around the corner and this 2010 election year is possible one of the most important elections that will take place. Not for our state but for our country. Lets PRAY the toss up states will vote the "right" way and we can take back the house and senate. It won't make everything perfect but if we hold those we elect responsible, we might be able to get America on the correct path again. Ok if you are sick of BIG government and a fiscal conservative like me, you can check out how I am going to vote on the props. Lets get started. =)

Prop 106 - YES- Healthcare

This is NOT healthcare reform, but laying the groundwork so we don't have to be apart of that terrible Obamacare. 1. It makes it so you don't have to buy insurance if you don't want to, unlike Obamacare you will be FORCED to buy it or will pay a fine. Very unconstitutional. 2. You will have the right to spend your own money and 3. It will not effect medicare. This is the most important prop, so spread the word!!

Prop 107- YES - Preferential treatment or discrimination prohibition

This is a no brainer......it is basical saying no special treatment for government workers or discriminating against them.

Prop 109- YES- Hunting and Fishing

This is protecting those who hunt and fish from the environmentalist. Their is nothing wrong with hunting or fishing and this let those who get their tags and do it legally, to be able to continue to. This is the preferred way to control and manage wildlife.

Prop 110- Yes- Exchanging or paying for land for development

This one is hard to explain but in a nutshell, it lets the government pay you or give you state trust land, if you own property around a military base, school, prisons etc.. to help with the development.

Prop 111- NO- Changing name titles

This one sounds great and nice but their is one part of the prop I don't like. First off it is basically wanting to change the title of Secratary of State to Lieutenant Governor, because many people don't know that is a Governor resigns or quits, then the current Secretary of State takes that spot till the term ends. Example, Janet Napeloitano left to go work at the White House to be Homeland Security, so Jan Brewer bumped up to Governor. If that was all the prop did I would vote yes but another part of the prop is the person running for Governor would have to be on the same ticket as the Lieutenant Governor. So what if you like one but not the other. You have no choice and have to vote for for both. Hope that made sense.

Prop 112- YES- Filing ballots

This is great because gives those sending in a ballot 2 extra months. Therefore gives more time to also check signatures.

Prop 113- Yes- Secret ballot

This just guarantees the right to vote by secret ballot

Prop 203- NO- Medical Marijuana

Ok, don't even get me started on this one because I'm upset people are giving up on this and saying "lets just legalize it and then tax it to death so we can make money" Really people you are willing to have dope users all over the place just to make money? Or when people say "we waste lots of money having the police try and regulate this". Well think about this....you want someone growing dope next door to you and you can't do anything about it. Yeah that is just what I want, to be in the backyard playing with my kids and having the smell of someone in their backyard smoking pot, lingering over to our house. PLEASE be smart and vote NO!!!! Also don't try and give me the comparison to alcohol, so not the same!!

Prop 301- No- Transferring 152 million dollars that was set aside for Land Conservation to the State "General" funds.

I say no because they (as in the legislature) need to have a plan for this money. I don't want 152 million dollars to just go to the "general" fund. If voted No it will force them to go back and make a better argument as to where the money will go specifically.

Prop 302- Yes- Terminate the "First things First" (Arizona early childhood development program)

This Program was voted in back in the late 90's. It is funded by a tobacco tax. This is not as great of a program it sounds. Most of the money goes to the administration and little actually goes to the children. We already have ACCESS for the kids, we don't need lots of other little programs claiming to help the children. This is worded very weird to make sure you remember to vote YES, don't be fooled.

Ok please let me know if you have further questions, call me, text me, email me, facebook me.....whatever. =)

Who am I voting for??

Ok if you are headed to the polls to vote, and you are stumped as to who to vote for here are my picks. Now I live in District 6 and Legislative District 22, so you might have different canidates depending on your district. So let start at the top and work our way down.

Senator: JD Hayworth

*JD is not my favorite but their is NO WAY McCain can be re-elected!!! He has been in for way to long and I believe to fix our state we must start with immigration, McCain has been for Amnesty http://www.alipac.us/article531.html but all the sudden (so he can get re-elected) he acts like he wants to secure the border!!! Well several years to late "my friend".

District 6 Congressman: Jeff Smith

*Jeff Flake has been in for awhile now and his time is up. He claims to have fought against spending and against amnesty but I haven't seen much proof. Sorry we need real results, and if Smith doesn't deliver than out with him at the next election.

Governor: By default, Jan Brewer

*I'm not going to lie, I wanted Dean Martin but he and Buzz pulled from the race to support Jan, because she is fighting the good fight with SB1070.

State Senator: Easy one, Andy Biggs

*I'm very impressed with him. I have gone to meetings and heard him talk and he is a TRUE conservative and is working hard to stop spending =)

State Rep for District 22: (you can choose 2) Laurin Hendix and Eddie Farnsworth

State Treasurer: Leah's vote, Barbara Leff, Tea Party's vote, Thayer Verschoor

*I heard all those who are running speak and I really really liked Barbara Leff. Thayer was good too, but this one I voted with my gut and went with Barbara

The Dreaded Attorney General: I'm not going to tell you who to vote for. Their has been a nasty fight between Andrew Thomas and Tom Horne. I have NO idea who is telling the truth and who I would like to represent our state. This is an important position so I'm upset they both seem un-fit for the job.

State Superintendent: Margaret Dugan

* I heard her and John Huppenthal speak more than once and Huppenthal rubbed me the wrong way. He has no experience in the classroom. Margaret started out as a school teacher, principal, etc...and worked her way to the top, so she understands what it is like for teachers. Huppenthal is also in favor of Obama's STUPID plan "Race to the Top"....more federal money.

Corporation Commissioner: (choose 2) Brenda Burns and Gary Pierce

County Attorney: Bill Montgomery

Ok their you go. Hope that helps and Happy Voting!!! If you need to know where to go vote here is the link to help you. But shame on you for not figuring this out already!!!
