Tea-Riffic Teacher // Teacher Appreciation Week

14 · · 2 Comments

Time to celebrate our Teachers! It’s Teacher Appreciation Week and my daughter Emily and I have come up with a simple and fun idea for your tea loving teachers out there…

You're-Tea-Riffic-Teacher-printable-4

 

Emily’s teacher has been a wonderful support for her this year and we wanted to do something special for her this week.  Emily mentioned that she loved tea, so I thought it would be fun to create a tea themed gift. We headed over to Starbucks and bought one of those $1.00 reusable cups and then made a fun new label for the cup.

You can print the cup label on adhesive label paper or Silhouette has a printable adhesive kraft paper that I just LOVE! Print out a sheet and cut out your labels and stick them to the cup. It’s as simple as that. We also added a Starbucks gift card and a box of her favorite tea. It’s a fun yet simple gift idea that any tea loving teacher will love.

Download the printable Tea-Riffic Teacher cup label HERE!

Tomorrow I’ll share a cup label that you can use for your tea loving mother. Yep, that will be two birds with one stone!  Plus, I’ll have a fabulous Mother’s Day giveaway that I KNOW you won’t want to miss.

+ Moms, Dads & Grads Pinterest Party AND Printable Mother’s Day Gift Idea +

You're-blooming-brilliant-free-printable-from-#whipperberry-3

Mother’s Day is right around the corner and now’s the time to start planning. My Mom is an avid gardener so when I saw these cute gardening tools at Target I immediately thought of my Mom. I know that many Moms out there are big fans of the garden arts, so I thought I would make up a cute gift tag to go along with any type of gardening gift!

You're-Blooming-Brilliant-Gift-Tag

It has a bit of a British ring to it and I just fell in love with the idea of a fun watercolor type card. You can even print it on textured paper and it would look like you added a little water color flair to your gift tag. If the green doesn’t work for your gift, I am also offering it in just the basic black and white as well.

You can download the free printable gift tag HERE!

Now all you have to do is find a fun garden themed gift and add this fun tag and you’re set with a fabulous gift for your Mom!!

10 LDS General Conference Quotes

6 · · 3 Comments

10+ LDS General Conference Quotes // This last weekend was one of my favorite weekends throughout the year.  Twice a year our church, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints gathers together in Salt Lake City and all over the world via the Internet for a Semi-Annual General Conference.  This is our opportunity to be taught by the leaders of our church, modern day Apostles and our Prophet Thomas S. Monson.  It is a time to be spiritually feed and to receive modern day revelation that is relevant for our challenging times. We take the whole weekend to slow down, make yummy treats and enjoy being together as a family. I’ll post our special breakfast that we made a little later…

This weekend I used the Rhonna Designs app from my sweet friend Rhonna Farrer to take some of the quotes that touched my heart and share them via Instagram.  I’m sure everyone got tired of me, but I just could help myself. Rhonna’s app is just so fun to work with and the quotes were just amazing I couldn’t help but share.  A few of my friends on Instagram asked if I would post them here so that they could download them and use them in their homes.  I am more than happy to do that, so here are the designs that I created, with Rhonna’s fabulous app as help, for you if you  would like.

Mini-Eggs Dessert Bars

These mini-egg dessert bars are super easy to make – the trick is to not eat all of the mini-eggs before you get around to actually making them!

LDS Primary Singing Time // Wiggle Worm Jar

120 · · 8 Comments

// LDS Primary Singing Time Wiggle Worm Jar //

wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry

I have been madly working on getting some fun activities together for my new calling at Church. To back up a bit… I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saint (the Mormons) and we all have different responsibilities that we take on to help the organization of the church. I am currently serving in Primary which is our children’s organization. I am in charge of singing time, which is the best time of all if you ask me. Because of that, I am currently working on some projects to prepare for Primary and I thought I would share then for all my Primary Chorister friends out there. Here’s my post last week on this month’s song, “I Stand All Amazed.” I am working on the rest of the verses for this next Sunday so stay tuned.

Today I’m sharing my take on the Wiggle Worm Jar. This isn’t a new idea, I’m not sure who came up with originally, but I LOVE it!  Many times during singing time the kiddos get a little restless and need a little wiggle song to help them get through Primary.  If I see them wiggling around and having a hard time paying attention, I pull out my wiggle worm jar.  This jar is full of cute little worms with fun songs attached to them like, Popcorn Popping, Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes, If you’re Happy and You know it and such. These cute little worms are soooo easy to make! Here is what you will need…

Wiggle Worm Jar Supplies

Instructions

Take your four 12×12 sheet of paper and cut a bunch of circles roughly 1 1/2 inches in diameter. I used my Cricut Explore to cut the circles. I know that this machine isn’t available until March 15th and this project is by no means a reason to run out and buy one. You can cut your circles what ever way you would like. If you have a personal cutting machine like the Cricut or Silhouette great, if not… You can trace your circles and cut them by hand. Either way works just fine.

Like I said before, I used my Cricut Explore and it worked super slick…

Cut-circles-for-wiggle-worms-with-Cricut-Explore

I used the Design Space and created 24 circles and then sent them to the preview screen to make sure everything was set properly…

Cut-circles-with-Cricut-Explore

Once I made sure everything looked right and the dial on the Explore was set to card stock, I sent it to the Cricut to cut…

Cutting-circles-with-Cricut-Explore

I loaded the mat and cut away…

reverent-snuggle-bugs-and-wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry-15

Within just a few minutes I had 24 circles…

reverent-snuggle-bugs-and-wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry-16

I repeated the cutting process three more times and then I was ready to build my cute little worms…

reverent-snuggle-bugs-and-wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry-5

I added some glue to 3/4 of one side of the craft stick and then laid out my circle to look like a wiggly worm…

reverent-snuggle-bugs-and-wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry-8

Then I flipped the stick over and glued the 2nd circle on the flip side…

reverent-snuggle-bugs-and-wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry-9

Add glue to the 2nd circles and pinch the two circle together. Let dry for a few minutes and then using the mini glue spots, add the wiggle eyes and draw a cute little mouth with the sharpie…

reverent-snuggle-bugs-and-wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry-10

Now all you need to do is select a handful of songs and using a sharpie, write the name and page number of the song on the bottom of the stick…

reverent-snuggle-bugs-and-wiggle-worms-from-#whipperberry-11

I added a vinyl name to the jar and voilá, you have your Wiggle Worm Jar.

I also have a fun new idea for Reverent Snuggle Bugs that I will share soon… Same idea, just reverent songs to help the Primary kiddos settle down after you’ve gotten all the wiggles out.
