Call Me Crafty

Last weekend during General Conference my Mom, Kim, Colette and I made some fall crafties to decorate our house with. I was put in charge of going to Lowe's to get the wood to make the decorations. There was a very kind gentlemen that offered to help me. I told him I needed 2 4x4's and 2 2x4's. He asked what type of project I was doing and I said, "We are making pumpkins." He looked at me a little bit confused and said, "You're making pumpkins out of 2x4's and 4x4's?" I said, "Yep square pumpkins and wooden blocks with fall written in vinyl letters." He just smiled and very graciously helped me find what I needed.

Today I decided I wanted to make some hair clips for my nieces that have birthdays in October. I was in the craft store forever trying to decide which ribbons and flowers to buy. Then, after I had everything picked out I walked by an isle that had an entire section of kits to make hair clips. It comes with the ribbon, jewels, flowers and everything. So, I decided to use a mixture. I kept some of the things I had picked out and bought a couple of kits as well. I hope my nieces like them. I think they turned out pretty well.
