OCT. Conference Printables...

Conference weekend are some of my most favorite weekends. Like many, our family tries to make these days extra special. They often consist of nature drives and hikes in the mountains in between meetings, preparing special meals, snacks and desserts for each session, Visiting grandma and grandpas, aunts, uncles and cousins, building massive LEGO creations with dad, playing games and activities that go along with each of the speakers, and listening to the sweet and tender words of our dear Prophet and his Apostles.

The messages from this months Conference did not disappoint. I felt like many of the talks given were with me personally in mind. And guess what, they were! They were given for each, and with each of us in mind. I soaked in all of the words that were spoken and found myself re-listening to many of the talks over, and over again. Don't you just love the warmth, wisdom, and the rejuvenating strength you feel to do and be better!? I can't get enough of it!

Here are just a few of my favorite quotes from Oct. 2013 Conference.

Easy Knick Knack Makeover

I am pretty much obsessed with little chotskies and knick knacks that can be transformed. A ugly piece can totally be transformed with just a touch of paint. The possibilities are completely endless.

 So, my challenge to you is to find a great ugly piece and transform it too.

I found my, not so cute, elephant at a yard sale for 50 cents.

Next, I rummaged through my spray paint bin (you could easily use tole paints too) and found the color I wanted. 

Ivy Leaf, purchased at Walmart.

 I washed this piece well and let it dry before I applied any paint. When it was dry I applied 2 coats of spray paint.

 I like my pieces slightly distressed, so I gave Mr. Elephant a light sanding.

 Whenever you sand, before you give your piece a clear coat, take a dry sponge brush and wipe down all the tiny dust particles.  This will help your finish be smooth.

Next, simply, clear coat your piece, dry, and then display.

I am loving Mr. Elephant. He makes a great book weight for my sons current reads.

Here are a few more similar projects that we have done over the years.

Ali see....ALI CREATE!

 Ok, so I was wandering around Big Lots and saw THIS GOODIE! 

 I almost bought it, because really $12 buck is an AWESOME price, but the wheels started turning in my head.  I have been wanting to add a couple different blues to the color scheme in my family room to knock out the barnyard feel I have going on in there. It has felt  a little DRAB  in my depressed state!
  So I decided to create my own.
AND I really wanted 8 birds since that is how many is in our family!

Here is what I decided to paint! 
Brian and I are the LOVELY Lovey BIRDS and all our 6 kids are a different color.
 It's not perfect but I LOVE IT!!!!
