Valentines Swag

I don't know if this is really a swag but that's what I call it. So I started out with random pink scrapbooking paper I had and then cut 6" x 6" squares out of light and hot pink and white fabric.

Then I make a heart template and cut 3 hearts out of each paper.

Then with a zig-zag stitch I sewed the hearts onto a square piece.

Then with quilt binding I sewed the squares onto it and......their you have a lovely valentines swag.

Valentines Bags

Roses are Red

Violets are Blue

I want to make these

how about YOU??

Are you serious......Ok so I'm not even a romantic person and red is not even my favorite color but Valentines Day is one of my FAVORITE holidays. Maybe because mine and Millies birthdays are also in this month....but I'm totally making these for my kids, ok I'll be honest...one for me to. I love how the boy one doesn't have ruffles. So I hope everyone sends me a Valentine. I found the tutorial here

FHE for a Year

I don't know how some of you plan or organize your FHE's but last year since Ryker was a new Sunbeam I tried to follow the Primary's Sharing TIme Outline. So that if we taught him about it on Monday, hopefully when he heard it again on Sunday it would sink in. So here is what someone put together for 2010. FHE 2010 Outline

Easy Peasy Puzzles

To make these easy peasy puzzles I just bought a few calendars at the $1.00 store. I bought a boy one for Ryker but I have no idea what he did with it so I'm left with the kitties and Dora.

Choose the pictures you want to use and neatly cut them out. Then can a 12x12 peice of cardstock and mount them. Trim off the paper that is not covered.

Then cut them however your little heart desires. The big Dora face one is just strips, it is for my Millie to do who is almost 2. Then the Kitty one is a little harder and the Dora on a scooter is cute all over the place. Then if you can laminate them so they last longer. Use the little pictures on the back of the calander to label the envelope you place it in and so the kids know what the puzzle should look like.

Ryker will sit and do puzzles forever but gets board with the same ones. Now I can make lots of cheap ones for him to do. Have fun !!
