Neckties for your Tots!

Hello Friends!

I'm just getting the word out that I am making Utah and BYU neckties for little boys! I know most of you are so crafty you could just make your own but... Since we have such srtong supporters from each school (I see those flags waving on game days)...I thought there might be an interest for these. Let your boys show the other babies in nursery who they root for. They make great gifts for the holidays too. I make them pre-tied on an adjustable strap with a hook closure...so they can't be pulled off like the clip-ons or zip-up ties. They can be yanked on and drooled on and best of all...washed in the washing machine!

Neighboorhood price- 10.00/each

sizes 4mo-14yrs.

Call me at 801-695-5270

Available in...

U screen printed,

Y screen printed,

or

Byu & Utah official logo Fabric

Also, If you want ties made for family photos or for the holidays, just bring me the fabric you want them in and I can make them too. I usually only need about a quarter yard per tie.

Call me if you have questions or if you'd like to place an order! or see more options at http://trendytikes.etsy.com ...but don't order from the site, if you want any of them just call me and they will be cheaper :)

Thanks!!

Are you missing a set of keys?

I just found a set of keys at the bottom of my purse that don't belong to me or Karl. I have no idea how they got there, whose they are, or how long they have been there. There are keys for a Chevy and a Ford along with a bunch of other keys. If you are missing a set of keys let me know. They could be yours!

Primary Children's Hospital Donations

Hi, ladies!

I wanted to let you know that the cute baskets from our Six 'S' Night were delivered to Primary Children's Hospital a few weeks ago. We ended up with tons of fun supplies to fill these baskets, so besides the two that we put together that night, I was able to fill another huge basket with all of the crayons, markers, stickers, coloring books, etc. that all of you lovely ladies were so kind to donate.

I had my kids help put the last basket together, and our family went together for family night to drop off the baskets at the hospital. It was awesome to be able to involve my kids in that, and it was extra meaningful to me because I had stayed at Primary Children's for about a week when I was five years old. It was really cool to go back there again (even though so much has changed)!

The people at Primary Children's were very grateful for the donations, and I didn't fill out their form to receive a thank-you card, but I wanted to let you know that they were so happy to get the supplies and I know there are lots of little children there who will really appreciate them as well. Thanks again to all of you for your generosity - I loved being able to be a part of that project.

Have a wonderful week!
