Fat Chick

With all the cold, fall-like weather and rain me thinks this bird is overeating because it thinks winter is coming:

That or it eats when it's bored ;) LoL Still cute!

Happy Father's Day

I designed 4 Father's Day quotes with scrapbooking papers and elements and then matted them:

Then I added Jonathan's qualities with corresponding papers and framed it:

This is how it ended up looking:

I love how it turned out :oÞ Except I think I need to embellish where the blank spaces are . . . I wonder if I have time before I give it to him?

Revelation Handout

YW lesson #24 Manual 2 Revelation in our Daily Lives handout:I liked this quote - Prayer is the means by which man communicates with God. Revelation is the means by which God communicates with man.

Here is a handout idea to put on a Take 5 candy bar to go with this as well.

VT Message July 2010

Here's a handout for July's visiting teaching message - this image is also found here. Thank you for all of your amazing comments =)

Visiting Teaching message for July 2010 is Strengthening Families & Homes.

Father's Day Quotes

I designed these to use for a project for Jonathan. I'll post it on Saturday. Do you have a favorite? Mine is the one with the seahorse!

Teacher Appreciation

Brady & Keaton both took cookies to 5 of their 6 teachers on the last day of school but thought bringing them a card I designed was 'embarrassing':

So maybe someone else can use it . . . next year as I think school is out for everyone already ;)

Boboli Pizza

Here's my favorite way to eat Boboli Pizza:Take the crust and brush it with olive oil, add 10 cloves of minced garlic and bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes - just watch it. The garlic will be sizzling and then you'll know it's time to add the cheese. Sprinkle Parmesan & Mozzarella over the garlic and place the crust back in the oven until the cheese is melted - about 5 minutes more. Remove from oven, add 1 diced avocado, 1 diced steak tomato & 2 diced artichoke hearts - so all these veggies remain uncooked. Cut into pieces and enjoy - yummy!

Bee Strong

I made a little tag for Sharon from South Africa to use for her stake Beehive handout but it could have other uses:

Courage is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm!

This is the girl

that Brady likes . . . but if she has a copy of this picture, she might not want him pursuing her ;)

They were making faces for this pose - but I prefer hers over Bradys - haha

Family History Tag

I designed another Family History tag to go along with 'linking' - I made a metal mesh background:

(Here's the inside) and a link that's welded:

Here's the link for printing the handout.

Brady's Guitar Final

Here's the video:

Brady messed up, but it's cute to see his reaction ;)

Happy Birthday Card

Here's a little birthday card I designed:

It's SO happy!

How much wood could a woodchuck chuck

if a woodchuck could chuck wood? I'd guess none since they make homes out of wood piles ;)

These guys were super cute!
Saw them in eastern Washington over Memorial Weekend.
There were so many of them.
The grass was SO tall that when they were in it they were super hard to see. But there were also a lot of babies and they were just darling!

Hummingbird in my Honey Suckle

Catching some Zzzzzz's

Just pictures of the funny or cute positions the animals are caught sleeping:

embellishmANT ;)

I designed a coupon for the Beehives to give to the bishop for the YW lesson 'Appreciating the Bishop':

 Both handouts are found at www.jackshandsjillsheart.com - you only have to purchase it once and then print out as many as you need, but please don't share or redistribute the files - thanks!

An example would be 'We may be quite the assortmANT, but if you have already made an assesmANT, you'd find we're willing to do some assignmANTs, so enclosed are a few attachmANTs (coupons). Okay, just realized those all start with 'A' and they all end with 'ent'. 

I am putting those hotdog shaped candies with it - since 'ants' like a picnic.

Are you there?

I made a handout for our combined adult church meeting using the 3 General Conference Talks that our Bishop is using to make his presentation. Costco 1-hour prints for 4x6 were $.13 each - super easy and inexpensive! Size 1920x1280 pixels exactly to upload for a perfect 4x6.

Robert D. Hales said one day he was reading the newspaper while his grandson was playing and chattering nearby and then his grandson took his face in his hands and pressed his nose against his and asked 'Grandpa! Are you in there?':

That message was the start of my handout as I really liked it! Are we understanding the hearts of our children by conversing AND doing things with them?

The blessings of the scripture by Elder D. Todd Christofferson

That our children might see the face of the Savior by Cheryl C. Lant

Our duty to God: The mission of parents and leaders to the rising generation by Elder Robert D. Hales

Want the handout? It's found here.

My Family Tree

I designed this family tree handout for my Beehives with the lesson on Keeping Family History Records. Picture is our very own Maple Tree in the backyard.

Family Tree Template

So, the image looks distorted (like the words are off center), but once you download the file, it is actually fine.

Download this file with an editable Microsoft Word format to customize your own family names and information.

You'll add the info and then copy and paste the DOD text boxes if it applies.

Here's an example of what it will look like once it's been filled in with family info:

Family Tree Template EXAMPLE

And another handout tag is found here.

Father's Day Card

I used the GC talk Our Duty to God: The Mission of Parents and Leaders to the Rising Generation from Robert D. Hales, but I tried to keep it light in case those not LDS wondered what all the messages referred to and still wanted to use this card ;)
