Christmas Party

Just getting the word out about the Christmas Party coming up on December 10th at 7:00 PM at the Church!

We'll be having a Christmas Family Talent Show! Lots of fun Christmas music and talents! Bring a Large Blanket and join us for a night of fun!

If you have questions, call me at 801-362-6744

Christmas Lights!

If your next few weeks are anything like mine.... you are BUSY!  Thanksgiving, Christmas shopping, decorating,  and lots of parties.  Not a lot of spare time.  I know of one thing you can easily check off of your to-do list. Your Christmas lights on your home.  Plus, your husband won't fall off the roof!  (We do have a lot of steep roofs in our neighborhood.)  We have a friend from our previous ward who owns a Christmas Lighting business!  He does great work at great prices.  He is a great man who is honest and efficient!  He could use all of the referrals he can get in this tough economy!  If you are interested, give him a call.

Christmas Craft Day PICS

Our RS Christmas craft day was a HUGE success!  Lots of fun crafts, new talents learned, lots of laughs, and great cookies!  What more can you ask for!
Here are some pics of the night...

Shari was in charge of food!  We had a Christmas Cookie table to salivate over!

 Valerie headed up Sacrament Quiet Books, and Church coloring books!  Big hit!

 Tiena and her daughter were our wonderful baby holders!  

Sarah and I were VERY thankful for them!  We actually got stuff done!

 Andrea and Eleah taught a Temple Block craft!  They turned out AMAZING!

 Ok, so... Tyra was trying to get out of my crazy blog photos... but I caught her anyway.  

Isn't she a doll!

 Liberti instructed us how to make fabric rings!  So trendy and SO cute!  Nice smile Lori!

 The laughing ring table!

 Shari headed up darling kitchen towels with the days of the week on them!  Super cute!

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!
