Conference Weekend

Oh, I love conference weekend. We have church from 3-6. I am a morning person and would perfer to go early rather than late. Well, this weekend we got to enjoy conference at home, which meant that I could cook a real meal for dinner instead of a crock pot one and Abigail got to go to church looking like this.

Honestly, isn't that hair unbelievable. I love her and her crazy hair.

I certainly enjoyed all of the talks, but Elder Uchtdorf's talk in the Relief Society's session the week before was the one that stuck with me. He talked about the need to be creative and compassionate. I have taken that to heart and spent the last ten days creating a lot of things. I started with my Peach Salsa. This week I made strawberry jam. I also made tutus for my girls. Here is Abigail modeling her's.

I made one for Laney's Halloween costume and I felt bad that Abigail didn't have one too. So we went back to the store and a few hours later, Abigail was so pleased with her tutu. Sadly, I think that she is going to opt for something different for Halloween, but we will see. Craig borrowed this from a friend. You would have thought I had just handed him the moon.

The other big project that I completed was the decorating of my bathroom. Chris and I put up some beadboard and a chair rail a few weeks ago. I finally got the painting done with help from Tifany. (Thank you.)

The other project was this bow holder. I have been making so many bows that I needed a way to properly store them. A scrap piece of wood, scrapbook paper, and a little modge podge later and I got this. Efficient as it is stylish. I am very happy with how everything turned out. I am grateful to all who helped with my projects.
