It only took a year ....

 Remember last year when I got a serious craft bug and did this post about all the V-day crafts I was going to do.  Well, I only ended up doing 2 of them.  Well actually, it was more like 1.9.

After finishing pretty much ALL of this cute little "Countdown to Kisses" board last January I let it sit in my extra room until last night.  Seriously, all I'll had left to do was Mod Podge it all on.  Ridiculous, right.  O-well, at least it is done now.



I'm pretty pleased with how it came out.  I ended up re-cutting all the letters because I decided to do off-white instead of pure white.  You cant tell in the pictures, but the word KISSES is made up of paper that says "I love you" over and over again.

I got this idea from a blog called Infarrantly Creative.  She has a great tutorial on how to do it.  You can find that by clicking here.



I added those little lip kisses (they kind of look like hearts on the picture though) as a last minute touch.  I couldn't get the spacing of the letters quite right and they were a good space filler. I am so glad I thought to add them.  It is obviously not perfect.  P decided not to take a nap today and was being my little "helper" which basically means I was using all my attention to have him "help" without messing it up.  A few things are a little slanted and my OCD really wants to fix them, but guess what.  It is done and  I still love it!

The only tricky part now is convincing the kids that my kisses are a sufficient treat so I can have the chocolate all to myself.  

Happy Crafting!

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

  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...
