I decided we needed a little nursery update. This week I started with the crib. I don't want to repaint, but I don't want a gender neutral room this time. PROBLEM #1...We are team green. PROBLEM #2...My husband is tight. "Why do we need a new bedding set when we already have one?" So I thought he might not mind if I make a crib skirt myself. Especially with a coupon I could get my material 50% off at JoAnn's. </div>

It is hard to tell in the picture but the skirt is brown and white polka dots. Brown and pink and green go well together. So does brown green and blue. Olivia is planning on going shopping with Grandma when the baby is born, so I will have to add crib sheets to their list. <br />
<br />
With a little advice from my sister-in-law and this blog, <a href="http://www.viewalongtheway.com/2012/04/silliest-little-adjustable-crib-skirt-tutorial-on-the-web/">http://www.viewalongtheway.com/2012/04/silliest-little-adjustable-crib-skirt-tutorial-on-the-web/</a> it was super easy. It is even adjustable so when we lower the crib it won't bunch to the floor. <br />

<br />
So I thought I'd give it a shot. If you knew my girls when they were babies, they were super spitter-uppers. Olivia much worse than Emelyn. So we go through LOTS of burp clothes. <br />

My sister-in-law, Susannah, and I had too much fun using my mom's cruicut. All the circles and Gs, and any letter cut outs we made using the cruicut. The preggo lady cut outs I got from the Maple Street Memories in Creston. It is my favorite scrapbooking store. She can make almost anything you want. </div>

My adorable daughter Olivia. She is her father's daughter. She loves robots. I don't think she realized we were making these for baby Grayson. She really wanted to keep it for our baby that is coming in October. Stacy said she could keep it, but Sean and I thought it was a good teachable moment for her, even if there was lots of crying. We told her we would make a different one for our baby. Aunt Sharon said she would even get her a robot. We will have to get that from her soon. Olivia is super excited to make another one. </div>

Although, I am way behind on my scrapbooking pictures and I should be working on my ipods/ipads class, I decided to do this instead. The girls have a book called The ABCs of Cookies. It is a Sesame Street book. I told the girls a long time ago, we should try to recreate the book making our own ABCs of Cookies book. Here is a little preview of what we got done. <br />

We are going to use them for our Cubbies lesson Wednesday night to tell the Easter Story. Online they were about $15. I spent less than 87 cents. (40% off at Hobby Lobby, you can do the math) That was just for eggs, which I probably could have went to the basement and found enough. Then I went around the house and yard to fill them up. I found it on this blog: <a href="http://wantingwhatyouhave.com/2009/03/make-your-own-resurrection-eggs.html">http://wantingwhatyouhave.com/2009/03/make-your-own-resurrection-eggs.html</a><br />

“While they were eating Jesus took a piece of bread,<br />
gave a prayer of thanks, broke it, and gave it to His disciples.<br />
“Take and eat it,” He said, “This is My body.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 26:26</span><br />
2. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Silver coin</span><br />
“Then one of the twelve disciples, named Judas Iscariot, went to<br />
the chief priests and asked, “What will you give me if I betray<br />
Jesus to you?” They counted out thirty silver coins and gave<br />
them to him.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 26: 14-15</span><br />
3. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Purple cloth <span style="font-size: x-small;">(I didn't have a piece of cloth so I used a purple ribbon)</span></span><br />
“They put a purple robe on Jesus…” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mark 15:17</span><br />
4. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Thorns </span>(we use a cutting from our rose bush)<br />
“Then they made a crown out of thorny branches and placed it on<br />
His head, and put a stick on His right hand; then they knelt<br />
before Him and made fun of Him. “Long live the King, of the<br />
Jews!” they said.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 27:29</span><br />
5. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Piece of rope, twine, or thick string</span> (a scourge) <br />
“Pilate wanted to please the crowd, so he set Barabbas free for<br />
them. Then he had Jesus whipped and handed Him over to be<br />
crucified.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mark 15:15</span><br />
6. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Cross</span> (I use a cross from a necklace with a broken chain, but you could also make one out of toothpicks)<br />
“He went out, carrying His cross, and came to “The Place of the<br />
Skull,” as it is called. (In Hebrew it is called “Galgotha.”) There<br />
they crucified Him.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">John 19: 17-18a</span><br />
7. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nails </span><br />
“Thomas said to them, “Unless I see the scars of the nails in His<br />
hands and put my finger on those scars and my hand in His<br />
side, I will not believe.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">John 20:25b</span><br />
8. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sign</span> (I use a small square of laminated paper)<br />
“Above Him were written these words: THIS IS THE KING OF<br />
THE JEWS.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Luke 23:38</span><br />
9. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Sponge </span><br />
“One of them ran up at once, took a sponge, soaked it in cheap<br />
wine, put it on the end of a stick, and tried to make Him drink it.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 27:48</span><br />
10. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Spear</span> (my husband whittled a small piece of wood to a point)<br />
“One of the soldiers plunged his spear into Jesus’ side, and at<br />
once blood and water poured out.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">John 19:34</span><br />
11. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Rock </span><br />
“Joseph took the body, wrapped it in a new linen sheet, and<br />
placed it in his own new tomb, which he had just recently dug<br />
out of solid rock. Then he rolled a large stone across the<br />
entrance to the tomb and went away.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 27:59-60</span><br />
12. <span style="font-weight: bold;">Nothing</span> (the tomb is empty)<br />
“He is not here. He has risen just as He said.” <span style="font-weight: bold;">Matthew 28:6</span>Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14736748142289982277noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320443189800751938.post-5821271117448528702012-03-11T14:58:00.000-07:002012-03-11T14:58:28.541-07:00#3<div style="text-align: center;">Not quite 2 months ago, I saw this picture and just had to send it to my mother-in-law. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGKC63L4frPZhNM4-sgw1M9DwtDGEmGtZW4aSnMMmhB0C7OtabrGG7GwWh_Ze9zf4LTXvHkXxQZhhOo6V55FE8wL3mGXX6oHe-gWksj_9mssLE4SLr2gzMUhjiqONh6Edd5sa3eQCWsf_/s1600/408661_3142336319610_1301010780_33371183_1933341771_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSGKC63L4frPZhNM4-sgw1M9DwtDGEmGtZW4aSnMMmhB0C7OtabrGG7GwWh_Ze9zf4LTXvHkXxQZhhOo6V55FE8wL3mGXX6oHe-gWksj_9mssLE4SLr2gzMUhjiqONh6Edd5sa3eQCWsf_/s320/408661_3142336319610_1301010780_33371183_1933341771_n.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div align="center">She didn't find it as funny as Sean and I did. </div><div align="center"><br />

He has been working on it all winter. I just had to share, because he has been working really hard on it the last couple of weekends. We tore out the shower and putting in a whirl pool tub. He bought the tile yesterday. So looks like that might be next weekends project. I still need to pick a paint color. I think I still have time, Sean said that will be last. <br />

I got a good start on my laundry this weekend, so I just need to go fold it and put it away. Then I told Olivia we could go to the park. It is suppose to be 59 today!

When Olivia turned 2 I made her an apron to go with the kitchen we got her. Emelyn also LOVES to help cook. So I thought she needed an apron too. So this morning I whipped this up. It was a lot easier the 2nd time around. Hopefully, no one looks to closely at my stitching. I am not the best seamstress. Maybe someday when I figure out how to hook up my scanner I will post a pattern. This was really easy. <br />

JOBS! I couple of months ago I made a chart on the computer for the girls to do, that lasted a week. I never went to the basement to print off another copy. We are going to try it this way and see how it works. They are usually good helpers without a chart, but this will hopefully help us to be more consistant. <br />

On one particular blog, can't remember which, sorry, they punched a hole in them and put a ring or ribbon and next year you set them out on your coffee table. <br />

Sometimes you should follow the directions completely. When the recipe calls for baking cups, use them. <br />

I was TRYING to save money and not buy baking cups I thought I'd just spray my muffin tin really well with PAM, but that did not work. While looking through my cabinets trying to decide what I could make for a dessert guess what I found?<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"> I made my first turkey. I wish I would have taken more pictures of this beauty, but this is all I have. I brined it. I have the recipe I used posted on pintrest. AMAZING!!! Trying to get the turkey parts out, was kind of funny since the turkey was still slightly frozen and they were tucked into the other side of the turkey. Then my pot was too small when I put the turkey into the brine. A note for next time: Make brine in a large stock pot, enough room to bring 2 gallons of water to a boil. Then get a new bucket or Styrofoam cooler to put the turkey in and pour the brine over the turkey. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiua7ht7Q9M6vN6ys5ZhAqyxHyulVlQRAynXvwwbaxWC-MgIBLz6EaQuPXOUEPjTUdthHxeqRYTfGmYosH3aauR7SxtnAYFuPHs8ocPYk-c6NiUilHrXYqYemhBgyeZYwh0Zo26TExEppCW/s1600/DSCN4137.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiua7ht7Q9M6vN6ys5ZhAqyxHyulVlQRAynXvwwbaxWC-MgIBLz6EaQuPXOUEPjTUdthHxeqRYTfGmYosH3aauR7SxtnAYFuPHs8ocPYk-c6NiUilHrXYqYemhBgyeZYwh0Zo26TExEppCW/s320/DSCN4137.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;"> This weekend we decorated for Christmas. </div><div style="text-align: center;">The girls helped Daddy with the outdoor lights until they got cold.

So here is half my list and I'll do the other half next week. <br />
<br />
1. My God. Without Him I'd have nothing on my list, since ALL things come from Him. <br />
2. My husband. He works very hard to provide for us, and allows me to stay home with our daughters. <br />
3. My two amazing daughters. I love those two like crazy.<br />
4. My parents. I have the best most amazing parents in the world. They would do anything for us.<br />
5. My brother. I love his friendship we have now that we are adults. <br />
6. My sister-in-laws. They are like the sisters I never had. Love crafting, shopping, or just hanging out with them. <br />
7. I better not leave out my brother-in-laws. They keep life interesting.<br />
8. My amazing friends. I have so many truely amazing friends. I love them all, and treasure their friendship.<br />
9. Our church. I have grown so much in my walk with Christ over the last few years.<br />
10. Our Small group. They go along with friends and church. But I value each of their friendships. I love Sunday nights.<br />
11. God has given us a beautiful home to live in. With a warm bed to sleep in on cold nights.<br />
12. Playdates. They help keep my sanity.Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14736748142289982277noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320443189800751938.post-73955351201367295472011-11-15T20:42:00.000-08:002011-11-15T20:42:23.331-08:00Photo canvasI am so excited to show you my latest project.

Also, I don't know if it is the Mod Podge I used, but when the light shines on it just right you can see the Mod Podge lines. Oh well, I am still in love with it. After Christmas I am going to do 3 smaller square canvases attached with ribbon. Besides not being able to do all the projects I want to do at once, the place I am going to hang it is where my advent calendar is going to go. </div><div align="center" class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I made pictures on my Creative Memories Story Book Plus program and printed them on card stock. I used clip art from the Christmas Jewel paper pack.

Some people are just so talented. Wish I had a little of that. However, I did do a couple of my pintrests this week. Mostly cooking ones (because that is what I am good at), but I did do one other one I will show you too. <br />

<div align="center">Pintrest Project</div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div align="center">A weekly menu dry erase board. I always write out our menu on a tiny piece of paper, post it on the refridgerator, and then make my grocery list according to the menu. My sister-in-law pinned this on pintrest, and then I repinned it. The gal that first did it got scrapbook paper and cut out letters from a machine. I made it on my Creative Memories Scrapbooking program and then printed it off. I got the frame at Micheals for $4.99. This ended up being about a $6 project. After you put the paper in the frame, you use a dry erase marker to write out your menu each week. I still need to get a picture frame stand to hold it up. I don't have wallspace in my kitchen to hang it. Olivia keeps wanting to write on it. So I think I need to get her a frame and put a cute piece of scrapbook paper in it and she could have her very own little dry erase board.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwf542y1NCWtXZ8GU0y8MlD4Zf0z1Wk32o9ucxxRR9iucT4dAkRdsWME-hFYOhyphenhyphen2tf17BV3jBBj7IeqHgDUqiFWwPFL1PdgbDXrR3YtveZphtMNlcHEzWASZtn4kHTIaTLs5JMRUSNoonf/s1600/DSCN3959%255B1%255D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwf542y1NCWtXZ8GU0y8MlD4Zf0z1Wk32o9ucxxRR9iucT4dAkRdsWME-hFYOhyphenhyphen2tf17BV3jBBj7IeqHgDUqiFWwPFL1PdgbDXrR3YtveZphtMNlcHEzWASZtn4kHTIaTLs5JMRUSNoonf/s320/DSCN3959%255B1%255D.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
