This book is fabulous...a mini banner book...she's created the frong with the Spring Circus Tag kit & added the 'Follow Your Dreams' from the Spring Circus Card kit.
Love how she made it POP! Brilliant!
And the insides of the book are the cute Happy Day Banner Printable! Don't you LOVE how she created the pages of the book? The letters are 3-D with the POP dots & she said she used crackle on them for some added textures. LOVE this soo much I can't even stand it!

Get it going.

Last Sat. night, my girls & I went to the YW Broadcast. It's one of our fave bonding times. We go out to eat (at our fave place) & fill up our tummies, then go to the Conference Center to fill up our souls. This did not disappoint. I seriously look forward to this all year. I love sitting there w/ both of my daughters on each side of me....listening to truth! 
The theme was "Arise & Shine Forth'...which I LOVE! But, our prophet, Thomas S. Monson, said something that I can't get out of my head....

I just kept thinking about it all night...& into Sunday. And of course, woke up with it in my head & thought more & more about it on my morning run. 

I See My Destiny.  This is what I kept 'seeing' in my mind. Everyday, we make big & little decisions. Some seem important..some, not so much. But we DO shape our destiny in those decisions. It should be no surprise where we end up....
And I thought about that in all aspects of my life.
 mind. body. spirit.
The decisions of what I put in my mind shape who I become. If I'm filling my mind w/ garbage....negative thoughts, etc....then, I shouldn't be so surprised if I end up depressed & not happy with what I've become, right?
And...on the flip side: if I fill my mind w/ uplifting conversations, motivational quotes, optimism...well...I suspect I will be much happier about myself, my surroundings, my life. right?
YES....it's so true.
I can SEE my destiny in my mind. I can visualize it. one decision at a time.

ok...so, now take that same thing to my body.  If I'm filling my body w/ garbage...processed crap, foods that make me sick, etc...then, I shouldn't be so surprised if I end up unhealthy, sluggish, no energy & not happy w/ what my body has become. right?
And...on the flip side: If I fill my body w/ good, clean food; eat healthy, get enough sleep, work out & envision my body healthy...I will be much happier w/ myself, my surroundings, my life. right?
I can SEE my destiny in my mind. I can visualize it. one decision at a time.

And of course...same with my Spirit....you get where I'm going. I need to nurture my Spirit & make good decisions to make sure my Spirit is strong....

one decision at a time.
I determine my destiny by the decisions I make.....

I love that sooo much!

and, I LOVED when he said: "Every Cinderella has her midnight'.  Sooo fab. Again...what we decide will make a difference. Love, love, love that!

Just my Monday thoughts....this week is my very favorite...we get ready for our Semi_Annual GEneral Conference...so, it's on my mind. a. lot.
If you have any questions...look on my side bar at 'I Believe'....to see my profile & have your questions answered! It's gonna be a fab week! LOVE IT!

DIY Spring Scene Globes

You know how much I adore anything in a jar...from Snow scene globes, to Spring Scene jars...I can't get enough!
But, I always like to 'update' my decor..so, I got to gluing & cutting & creating....and came up with these Spring Circus Globes & projects...love them!
This time, I had fun with glitter, butterflies, eggs & some of the new Easter Celebrations kits, too!

Loving the glitter on the edges of the butterflies...and I just added vintage book shreddings on the bottom of the jar, popped a mini Spring Circus Printable Card in there with a bright ranunculus in there & voila! A cute pop of Spring!
For the jar here, I added some green grass, mini mushrooms, eggs & a glittered bird. Hot glued a mini butterfly inside & bigger ones on the outside of the jar. & then used the Spring Circus Bundle with the "Always Face the Sun" printable. sooo cute!
And...I had some cute vintage tea cups & saucers that I used, too! Here's a shot of one of the saucers with a nest, the vintage book shreddings, mini mushrooms, butterflies, egg and....the cute Mini Spring Circus printable card
So...you can create a little Spring Scene with anything...remember, anything will do. Just get creative! I've done them in wine glasses, vases, bell jars, teacups...really anything that will create a little tiny vignette.  I'd LOVE to see your creations...please share!
