This Hilarious Moment Brought to you by Megs!

When fun morning Megs woke up and had one thought; how to make her parent's laugh. She couldn't do just anything this had to be almost like magic. Then she thought and got a brilliant idea she would do something that would crack up anyone when noticed. {and it did} So with out further ado here we have a door. Do you notice anything? Look closer.

You could poke an eye out with that thing! That's right a crayon in the eye hole. This made us laugh so hard that we still haven't removed it!

Also some cute things my baby has done:

The other night we had some people over for dinner and she wasn't listening so she was in time out. Dinner was finally ready and we called everyone in for prayer. I totally forgot to get Megs out of time out. So sometime as we were blessing the food she realized what was going on. When I looked up and there she was. She was so cute saying "It's family prayer mom! You can't have family prayer without me! I am the family!" it was just so cute and so true we can't have family prayer without her!

"When we teach those we love that we are spirit children temporarily away from a loving Heavenly Father, we open the door of prayer to them.
"We lived in His presence before we came here to be tested. We knew His face, and He knew ours. Just as my earthly father watched me go away from him, our Father in Heaven watched us go into mortality."
Henry B. Eyring, "Write upon My Heart," Ensign, Nov. 2000, 86-87

Anyway I hope you have good laugh and a great day !

Qoute of the day:
"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before.
"Everyone can create. You don't need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty.
"Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty. .
". . . Remember that you are spirit daughters of the most creative Being in the universe. Isn't it remarkable to think that your very spirits are fashioned by an endlessly creative and eternally compassionate God? Think about it—your spirit body is a masterpiece, created with a beauty, function, and capacity beyond imagination.
"But to what end were we created? We were created with the express purpose and potential of experiencing a fulness of joy (see 2 Nephi 2:25). Our birthright—and the purpose of our great voyage on this earth—is to seek and experience eternal happiness. One of the ways we find this is by creating things."
Dieter F. Uchtdorf, "Happiness, Your Heritage," Ensign, Nov. 2008, 118–19

When I finally get a chance....

to work on something for me I end up in the Urgent Care with bronchitis. Eieie I was going to have everything ready to go but by the time yesterday's post was posted {I wrote it 2 days before so I could give myself a deadline} I was waiting to be seen by a DR. 2 hours and a Chest x-ray later I was on my way to pick up some pretty heavy drugs. I take them and then turn into a zombie sleep for four hours then wake up for 2 with clarity {can you tell I am between dose's right now}. So my store is put on hold again {or a least at a very slow paste} until I am finished with the drugs. What a great weekend this is turning out to be. I did score 6 new patterns today though during a 2 hour clarity session, so I am excited about that {as Megs would say Yippee}.
Well Megs wants to cuddle and watch Enchanted. Who could say no to that? So I must cut this short.
Love,
Tiff

Vintage Radiance Friday!!!! {Vintage Vogue Couturier Pattern Galitzine }

Ok so this past week I have been MIA, and I think that I have a good reason what is that reason you ask? Well I finally did it, I opened my very own Etsy Store!!!! I have been wanting to do this for two years but I haven't really been sure what I could sell. Then something came my way and my obsessive nature kicked into to gear and I found my niche. Vintage Patterns. I love the art work, and the clothes! Later on I would love to include some of my own creations but for now patterns will do!
So every Friday I thought I would show you one of my favorite patterns that is featured in my etsy store. This week's pattern is one of my favorites, it is a gorgeous pattern designed by Galitzine for Vogue. I think why I love it so much is because I could see myself wearing it. In fact when I got my first job I had bought a pair of white pants just like the ones on the cover! I loved them so much that I wish that I could still fit into them. (We can all dream; right?)

SO this is this week pattern, I will be working continuously to update my shop. Every pattern is checked to make sure it is complete. As of today I have 52 patterns that need to be process including patterns from Simplicity, Vogue and Butterick. This weeks I worked on my Vogue patterns and I hop to have them all up and going by next week. So I hope you enjoy this pattern and take a visit to my store and let me know what you think.
I would like to end with a question What was your first piece of clothing that you were super excited about owning?

The sweetest thing you have ever seen!

Checking on Megs last night I saw this; Her in her coat and hugging the Book of Mormon as if it were teddy bear. Ahh I love this girl. {This is her set of scriptures that she feels like she needs to take everywhere!}

Good night and sweet dreams!

Tuesday Catch up day. Meg's bday

So in case you didn't know it Megs has turned 4. (in October) October through December was such a couple of crazy months for us that I realized I haven't posted anything on the topic. So here it is. We had a picnic at a local park. It was nice to have everyone together. The kids had so much fun. Since Megs favorite color is orange we decorated pumpkins. Then at the dollar store the had these stick horses and so we had a horse race, finished by food, cake and a pinata. It was nice also to see some old friends.

Isn't this just a great picture of Meg's great-grandpa?I love this picture of Wendy

Horse race!!!! (This is my favorite picture it looks like Wendy is flying)

Pinata time!

Cake time! My SIL Shelley made this awesome cake isn't it beautiful?

Happy Birthday my dear sweet little girl!Tiff

You lint licker!

So while I was at Target shopping today I overheard two pretty young girls call each other some not so pleasant wash your mouth out with soup bad words. Now I know that the words weren't used out of malice and that is how some younger people talk.
So it is no surprise that later this night when I watched one of my favorite commercials that I thought wouldn't it be funny if the ruddiest thing you could be called was a lint licker? So here is my question of the night.... If you could make up an insult using house hold items what would you use? (please keep this rated g-pg and nothing offensive remember this is all in good fun! ) Here is two commercials to give you some inspiration:

So it's 3am and I deiced to try and vlog....

I think I might be crazy but since I cannot sleep I thought I would try something new and vlog. So here it is for the whole wide world to see...just keep in mind that it is three am and I might be rambling through the whole thing!
ENJOY!

Washer Necklace Tutorial

I made necklaces for my friends and family this Christmas. I thought these would make great teacher gifts, Valentines for special friends or for bday parties. They were so easy that I can see myself making many more of these. All it takes is some washers, modge podge, and a hard coating…( I can not remember the name but will update later with it) and you have an instant gift! These took me 45min to make all of them.
I don’t think I have ever taken the time to realize how satisfying it is to make something to give. There is a certain pieces of pride that goes along with each gift along with appreciation for those who have gone before you. Know what I mean? Anyways if you would like to make them here is the tutorial I wrote for my other blog, and craftster; so I thought I would share it with you guys!

I found the washers at home depot from 13-38 cents, the ones with the larger holes work better.
Things you need

Paper of your choiceMod PodgeGlossy AccentsWasherTwine to put on it when it is done.
Step one:

Trace washer on the paper then cut it out.

Step Two:Mod Podge it by adding a layer of glue to both the washer and paper. Then put the two together and add a thin layer of mod podge on the paper.

Step Three: Put a thick layer of Glossy Accents on the washer.

Let it dry for 24 hours and then string it up and you have great gift.

I can not wait to see what everyone comes up with.!

qoute of the day:

"Should there be anyone who feels he is too weak to do better because of that greatest of fears, the fear of failure, there is no more comforting assurance to be had than the words of the Lord: 'My grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them' (Ether 12:27)."
