Super Saturday

Ok so I'm the Enrichment Leader in our ward, which causes me a lot of stress and anxiety, but I guess it's good for my character. Anyways we are having a Super Saturday activity in Sept and although it's still a ways away, I had to get my samples done to start displaying them. I finished them last night and thought I would share.

Fun and educational flip books to keep kids quiet at church (well at least attempt to keep them quiet)

Tote bags in 3 different sizes.
View of the inside (sort of) showing the pockets.

There are other projects we are doing, but this is what I have pictures of so far. I'm happy with the way they turned out and think they will be a big hit at the activity.

I'll admit that we've got a pretty full house with part of my family here, but there was room for David to sleep in a bed with his mom, but instead he insisted on sleeping on the floor in the hall.

"Real" Computer Room

When I asked Matt what color he wanted to paint our computer room, he suggested we use Real Salt Lake colors. We were talking to his mom (major background in interior design) and she said ewww that's tacky. Right then and there Matt decided that we were for sure doing Real colors.

We decided to use their home jersey as inspiration for our room.

We still have more work to do, but here are some pictures of the work in progress.

It took 3 coats of the red and lots of patience

Then the blue only needed 2 coats, thank goodness.

We bought some 3/4 inch strips of moulding that we painted yellow and will be putting three yellow strips through the middle of the blue stripe. So far I think it's coming together pretty good. The colors are definetely bold, but I think it's fun and Matt loves it!

She's all mine!!

I did it, I finally paid off my car! I paid off my credit card debt about a month ago and now the car is done, I'm out of debt and it couldn't feel any better. It's been a long fought battle, but I won!! It's party time baby!!

It's happening, I'm getting old.....

The other day I was listening to the radio and they were talking about one of the Jazz players, Matt Harpring, and saying how he's getting old. Then they said he'll be turning 33! Excuse me! That's old?!?!? That's way too close to my age (28 & 11 months) to be calling someone old!!

Then today when I was driving back from lunch I noticed a fully grown in white hair! Please say it isn't so, I'm not ready to be old! I think I'll take on my Grandma Wagner's philosophy even though I might grow old, I'll never grow up.

One more weekend project

I always seem to use Conference weekend as a time to finish up projects while I listen to conference. I've had this monkey quilt all but finished for a long time.

I finally got the binding sewed down and it's now completely finished.
Now I just need to have a baby so that I can use it :)
