Mistle-toe

By 7 Comments

Time to spread a little holiday cheer…to your toes with a festive Mistle-toe pedicure!
p.s. I am well aware they are holly leaves, but mistletoe leaves are boring and I still wanted to use the cute name.
It’s pretty simple. Take a little bit of this…
and turn it in to this!
Step-by-step Mistle-toe:
Red coat.
Two green dots.
Use a toothpick to pull the polish to make 6 points. Move the polish around with the toothpick as needed to make it look right.

Two more green dots.
Make points with toothpick.
Dip toothpick in white and make three dots to complete your mistle-toe. Add a single dot to all other nails.
Cover with a clear coat and BAM. Super jolly Mistle-toe pedi!

Tie Party

By 3 Comments

As many of you know my littlest guy just turned one. It’s a tradition in our family (you know since we’ve done it twice now) to go all out for their first birthday party. It’s a big milestone and besides that mommy can do whatever she chooses because at one the birthday boy doesn’t care to have any input. Yay! I decided on a Little Guy in a Tie party theme, but was struggling with a color scheme until I found the shirt.

Thank you Target for providing the perfect shirt for the occasion (which everyone at the party thought I made) and thus deciding the color scheme for me. You may have also spotted the “perfect shirt” on my oldest in my DIY photo booth post.
What’s a tie party without a tie party banner?
Cut out ties and letters with my silhouette and attached it all with glue dots.
And what’s a tie party banner without a whole bunch of food to match. I thought it would be fun to make all of the food in the color scheme of green, white and black. Sounds weird, but there is a surprising amount of tasty food in those colors.
On the menu:
-Water with Lime
-Pinwheel wraps
-Green Grapes
-Green Apple Slices
-Green onion & cream cheese appetizer
-Build your own salad:
mixed greens
spinach
olives
mushrooms
grilled chicken
mozzarella cheese
cucumbers
green onions
boiled eggs
ranch dressing
poppyseed dressing
Menu continued:
-Tortilla Chips
-Guacamole
-Spinach Dip
-Potato Chips
-Veggie Tray:
sugar snap peas
broccoli
cauliflower
cucumber
pickles
celery
jicama
olives
dill dip
-Sourdough Bread
-Laughing Cow Light Swiss Cheese Spread
-Linda’s Cheesy Chip Dip
(Large tub cottage cheese, 8 oz. cream cheese room temp, slightly less than 1/2 tsp of onion salt and garlic salt, mix together with a hand mixer)
Kiddie Menu:
-Apple Juice
-Diced Pears
-String Cheese
-Applesauce
-Natural White Cheddar Cheetos
Printable food labels from the adorable Halloween Pack from Kiki Creates.
More food I ran out of time to put out:
-Pear slices
-Green Jello with Cool Whip
-PB&J on white bread
-Sprite
This post is getting rather lengthy so we will break it off now, but stay tuned for posts on tie party activities, treats, & take homes.

November Visiting Teaching Message

By Leave a Comment

The November visiting teaching message is to be chosen from the October LDS General Conference. I decided on an excerpt from the talk by Dieter F. Uchtdorf from the Relief Society broadcast. I think this talk was a favorite of many.
You are welcome to share the quote I chose for the November visiting teaching message with your sisters and use this handout if you like.
I made the handout using the Free Shabby Princess Plentiful digital scrapbooking kit and my memories suite software. (If you need scrapbooking software, use the coupon code: STMMMS97077 for $10 off, making it $29.97, and a $10 code to spend in the MyMemories.com Design Shop!)

To print the November Visiting Teaching Message:

  • Right click the image and copy. Then, you can paste it in to word and re-size and copy as necessary for how many you want on a page.
  • or
  • Right click and save, then open with Windows Photo Gallery which allows you to print choosing your paper size (4×6).
