A Craft Bug

By
I just spent an hour browsing blogs with awesome crafts and now I really want to start crafting! I'm so amazed at how creative people are and I'm so happy they are willing to share their ideas with the world. I never realized that there are SOOOO MANY super cheap yet super cute ideas.

Anyway, I'm just curious what are your favorite craft/creative/idea blogs?

There are so many I'm kinda intimidated.

What crafts are on your to do list?

Where do you get your inspiration?

I love craft blogs!
http://www.rufflesandstuff.com/ : this blog has a TON of great tutorials that I have done. Unfortunately, when I got really into her blog she decided to take a hiatus so she doesn't post a lot anymore...but you can still browse her tutorials.

http://howaboutorange.blogspot.com/ :This one is also a great resource. She posts lots of tutorials and links out to other craft blogs when she finds a tutorial she likes.

I try to just pull inspiration from things that I see and put my own spin on it. Sometimes I just do an image search for certain things to pull inspiration from. For instance, if I want to make a new felt flower I will do an image search for felt flowers to see what other people have done. Then I normally find 2-3 styles I like and mix them together.

I love crafts, have fun!

Sweet! I think this is a great idea. I just put together a list actually this last week of things I'm going to do. I'm going to make some soft baby blocks this week.

My friend Mandy just sent me this link for other craft ideas:

Down the left side there is a labels search and I did stuff for baby, crafts, etc.

Let me know what you decide to do! :)

I got sucked into the craft blog crawl this last week. The one I got the most ideas off of was prudentbaby.com, but I think I crashed safari I had so many windows open with ideas! I'm on a "I can sew!" kick, we'll see if all the projects actually get done. :)

Ucreate is a good blog to follow as well. She picks a great tutorial everyday and features it in her blog. So then you get links to all the craft blogs!

Oh and I recommend looking into www.pinterest.com. It will put a button on your tool bar, but when you come across an idea/tutorial or something you click it and it will bring up pictures from the webpage. Decide which picture you want and then it stores it for you. When you are ready to make something you go to you page and it has it all. You can sort it how you like it as well. We seriously will have to make some time, and I can show you a few things if you teach me how to use this dang cricut!

The Light of the World

By
I was asked to give a talk yesterday in church.  Kinda daunting knowing it was Christmas Sunday, but I think it went pretty well.  I like remembering my talk so I'm throwing it up here mainly for my own record.  But maybe it will bless the lives of others too.  I hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and that the Light of Christ will be upon you and radiate from you now and forever. Jesus Christ: The Light of the World Rebecca’s talk given on 12/20/2015 Jesus Christ.  Can a topic be any broader? I have spent a lot of time over the last 6 weeks trying to decide what direction I wanted to go and I kept going back to the same thought, Jesus is the light of the world.  This is not an insignificant statement, but very profound and very important.  Let’s start from the beginning. Many Prophets have testified of the fact that Jesus Christ is the light of the world long before the Savior was even born.  The very first sign of his bir...

Because God Love's Us

  How is Christ’s Birth Significant to me Talk on 12/20/2020 Good Morning Brothers and Sisters & Merry Christmas!   Heavenly Father must know my preferred method for giving a talk is procrastinating because I have been called to fill in last minute on many occasions.   However, this is the first time it’s happened on Christmas Sunday.   But I am happy to be here with you and I’m so grateful for technology that allows us to meet and worship together, especially during this Christmas season.   I’m not gonna lie, this is weird speaking on zoom.   I much prefer being together and making eye contact with you and seeing your encouraging smiles.   So please bear with any awkwardness I may have.   When initially asked to speak, Brother Smith gave me the topic of “How Christ’s birth is significant to me.”   My initial response was, could that topic be any broader?   But then gratefully he followed it up with “Particularly from the prosp...

Kid's Talks

By
  Riley’s Primary Talk on Baptism 3/15/20 Today I want to talk on Baptism.   Being baptized is a commandment from Heavenly Father.   We have to be baptized to make it back to Him.   Even Jesus Christ was baptized.   If Jesus Christ was baptized we should be baptized too.   When we turn 8 years old we can choose to follow Jesus Christ’s example and be baptized too.   When we are baptized and confirmed we become members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.     If you have already been baptized, you should remember the covenants, or promises you made.   If you have not been baptized, you should study and pray and keep the commandments so that when you turn 8 years old you will be ready. We should all remember how important baptism is.   I am really excited I get to be baptized next year.   In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen Faith Parker’s Talk   2/16/20   Today, my talk is going to be about f...
