My Next Project's

 

The outside of this ball is made out of the coffee filters like the tree I had posted about earlier.  The ball itself is a paper lantern and I actually had one already so this was the next project that I thought I should try.  You can go to parlourhome.com to find out how it's done.

This next project was one that Hollie posted about on vintagefarmfurniture.com.  She actually made one that was black, but I thought I would rather do some in white like the trees she found at Real Deals.

You can also make a wreath out of the coffee filters.  I got this wreath from the dollar store including the coffee filters. It only cost 2 dollars to make.

The finished wreath

Here is the cute elf and snowman I talked about in the last post

The new frame wall- I switched it up a bit with some fun antique frames and new pictures

I have also loved making the flower headbands- They are so easy and only take a few minutes to make

Making a snowman with dad for the first time after the huge snow storm

Thanksgiving at the Kinghorn's

We made a trip to Utah to visit my sister and brother-in-law a few weeks ago and I went to Tai Pan for the first time- I know what your thinking- that's crazy that I've never been before. I guess we just never think to stop there when we go down and we don't travel as much with the little one. I loved it though and I will be going back very soon.  Here are a few items I found when they were having their Fall 40% off sale.

I have been really into making crafts lately.  Maybe it's because of all the craft fairs going on.  This was the pumpkin we did for our Stake activity and it seriously only took a few minutes to do.  This idea came from a website called http://www.makeit-loveit.com/.  You'll just want to type in pumpkin in her search on the website. 

 Ella loves wearing necklaces (:

We went and visited Angie and Austin to see their adorable 1week old baby and their other little girl Lilli

Buddies

I found this craft idea from Hollie at http://www.vintagefarmfurniture.blogspot.com/.  It is called the coffee filters tree.  It only cost 2 dollars to make.  Hollie is doing a craft everyday until Christmas and they are all so cute and inexpensive.  You'll have to check it out.

I found this antique frame at a place called Flea Bay.  It was gold so I spray painted it an antique white and put up this cute glitter feather wreath I found at JoAnn's that was 60% off.  Then I took an ornament I had on our tree and hung it in the middle. 

I got this idea from my friend Angie.  She had found this huge flower at Wal-Mart and glued it to some ribbon for the hair bows to clip to.  I see these all over at boutiques and they cost a ton. I think I made this for under 2 dollars- mostly because I couldn't pass up the huge flower.

Another fun craft

I found this antique frame at the D.I. for 7 dollars and it was an ugly color so I just spray painted it-took out the picture inside, as well as the glass and then I glued on some ribbon.  Now I have another place for Ella's bows as well as a cute wall decoration in her room.

 Some of you that probably follow Hollie's blog may have seen this for sale on one of her posts.  I thought it was cute and something different for a change.  It was only 10 dollars and I ended up hanging our stockings underneath.  She is so creative- I thought it was interesting how she said this was part of an old table and she turned it into a wall decoration. 

I love our new neighborhood.  We have a craft day each month and get to make fun items like this cute board.  The lady sends out an e-mail of all the crafts we can do and we order them, meet up at her house, eat yummy food and do our crafts from 4 until late. 

Crafts I ordered since I'm not this good

A lady in my neighborhood has a cousin that makes these cute crafts and everyone goes crazy over them including me. (: I can't help but buy one since the price is pretty reasonable.  She usually has a bunch of different ones for each holiday. The lady actually draws up her idea on paper and then her husband cuts out the wood and she decorates them. My Christmas and Winter ones should be here soon so I will post some pictures of them.  There was about five to choose from but I just ordered an adorable elf as well as a cute snowman.

Trying on her Halloween outfit 

 On Saturday (the day before Halloween) we took Ella to the mall in her outfit

We went out to eat at our favorite place-Famous Daves

Her little zebra p.j.s

We went to Logan's sisters volleyball championship game in Twin so we stopped at the Falls again 

 The weekend after Halloween we went up to see my family

It's so fun having Ella's cousins live close enough to come for a weekend visit

We went bowling and the babies were loving it

 Ella loved playing in the miniature golf course area

{Fall}

 I love Fall and I love how the leaves change to this beautiful color.  

 Getting a picture in front of the little old white house near my parents home

While my parents were in Prague Ella and I stayed at their house to help out

We went outside and picked up all the leaves and pine needles

We made funnel cakes for the first time.  They were so easy and fun to do.

 We bought some pumpkins

I found these cute little pjs for Ella that said "Daddy's Little Pumpkin"

 My sweet little brown eyed girl

 Ella has always had a lot of hair and I probably could have done pigtails a long time ago but I finally got her to sit long enough for me to do them. I think they turned out soo cute.

 We moved into a new house since the last house we were living in was for sale and we have absolutely loved being here.  The owners are friends of ours and they also let us use this gate since it has a basement and Ella always wants to go down the stairs.  I have to watch this little one like a hawk.

 Ella loved riding around in this little wagon at a fun pumpkin patch

 She found some green pumpkins (:
