Tiered Skirt Tutorial

A friend of mine, Laura, mentioned that she also had a blog but that she didn't really do anything on it a lot. I decided to check it out and I love it! A Make It Yourself Mom's Diary.

Laura, you really should keep it up!

This is one of the posts I really liked.

Kettle Corn Guest Blog

Guess what!

I am doing my very first guest blog over at What Allie's Making Now!

I am super nervous and excited!

I decided to show how to make my famous Kettle Corn.

Yummy! Not to sweet and not to blah.

Go check it out!

This is my bowl, get your own!

Stockings Door Jingle

I got this so long ago that I don't even remember who gave it to me.

I think it was my sister Kristen.

Anyhoo, isn't it cute!

Hangs on my door .
Fun, Fun!

Bundle Up! Snowman

This guy is super easy to make. Very little cuts and easy painting.

He has a base that he stands on with a cute little scarf.
I also have this same type of idea made into a scarecrow.

Don't forget to Bundle Up!

The Big Nosed Snowman

This is the easiest snowman in the world!

I made it several years ago and made a few last year for gifts.

It is made from a 4x4 post and scraps.
It is sanded and has stenciled stars.

The hat brim and nose are made form scrap wood.

I outlined the stars with a sharpie for more detail.

Fun, easy and CUTE!

Stuffed Snow Man

Another cold guy!

this is my favorite of all my snowmen.

I made it at a church activity in my sister ward about 10 years ago.

It is fabric stuffed with filling.
His little ski's and sign are so cute!

It has lasted several moves and more than a few breaks, but he is still the cutest of my snowmen.

Let It Snow-Man

Another Snowman!

I love this guy. He hangs just inside the front door.

My sister, Kristen, made this for me a few years back.

He has a real hat on his head!
He is ready to shovel some snow.

I love the snow affect on it. So creative!

Let it Snow Man!

Gentleman Snowman

I decided to skip Thanksgiving this year.

Don't hate me.

I just don't really love Thanksgiving. All that work cooking and decorating for one day. My kids don't even like the foods for Thanksgiving. So this year we are just doing a yummy dinner that everyone loves and inviting my sister to join us. That is the real point right!? Family!

So instead of Thanksgiving I have decided to jump straight to Christmas. I put my Christmas decorations, minus the tree, up last week. And I am adding more and more as the days go on.

I love Snowmen!

They are my favorite decoration for winter/Christmas.

Over the next several days I will be showing off several of my snowmen decorations

This big guy I made at a Super Saturday YEARS ago in my sisters ward.
He stands at the front door greeting everyone that enters.

I love that little scarf!

I have added more pine cones this year. Most of them fell off in storage.

Love him!

Felt Circle Garland

I love felt. You all know that. When I saw this I loved it right away.

A fun felt garland.

Jen at Let's Make It Ours made this.

So simple but I think it would look so fun on a Christmas tree.

Perfect to make for any season, just change the colors.

Thanks Jen.!

Lemon Sugar Scrub

Brandy over at Gluesticks made these amazing little gifts,

Lemon Sugar Scrub.

It looks so yummy I just want to eat it!

I LOOOOOVE lemon and this is on my list to make for the holidays.

My hands are getting more and more dry as the weather turns here in Las Vegas.

Something yummy to scrub them with sounds perfect.

I will leave it right by my sink and scrub away.

You should go check her out.

Thanks Brandy!
