I'D LIKE TO THANK THE ACADEMY! {Glitter Academy recap}

Just the words
"GLITTER ACADEMY"
and you already know you're gonna love it, right?

There are a few truly awesome bloggy gals here in Arizona that organize these amazing events a couple of times a year.
This is the first one I was actually able to attend, and from what I hear,
IT WAS THE BEST!
It was definitely MY favorite!  ;)


Truer words were never spoken!

Girl's Camp...that's what it's OWL about! {Gifts and Decor}

Last year I shared my camp DECOR and GIFTS for the girls.  
Those have been popular posts, 
so I thought I'd share our bigger and better camp decor and gift's from this year too.

Our theme?  OWLS!

And if you're reading this, I'm pretty sure you're OWLready a bird fan.


Soooo, what's cuter than ONE owl?


TWENTY OF THEM!!!

Wild Animal Print Owl's

What's black and white and wild animal print all over?

THESE PSYCHEDELIC OWLS!

As soon as I saw a similar owl on Instagram, 
I just knew I had to make these for my YCL's (youth camp leaders) for girl's camp!

Mother's Day



Mother's Day this year was quite simple,
and yet, it was one of my favorite.
I'm just so happy with life right now,
my husband, my children, church, community, everything.
(except my weight....but there's always gotta be something, right?  lol)

Girl's Camp Handouts and Gifts


Only one week of school left, and it's almost that time again for....

GIRL'S CAMP!

If you're like me
you're already thinking about and preparing ways
 to enrich the experience at camp this summer.

Last year I had the awesomely fabulous privilege of being a cabin mom
 (for the first time) 
over a group of 14 year old girls.  
Ohmygosh, what fun we had!

I loved girl's camp as a youth growing up in Las Vegas!!  
My young women leaders were fun, inspired, and dedicated!
But I gotta say, camp in Vegas was like REAL camping.
I like girl's camp in Arizona MUCH better!
More on that later
....watch for my upcoming post on how to
 make your camp experience more beautiful!  lol

Anyway,

Six days, six handouts
(any of these would also be great to give to your secret sister!)

Our camp theme was 
Happily Ever After
and a lot of focus was on recognizing that you are a daughter of God
which makes you royalty!
And on being prepared to be married in the temple

DAY ONE
Princess Survival Kit
This is the front of a card I made for each girl.
I actually got the 'Princess in training' graphic from my Silhouette software.
We used the same design to make t-shirts for the girls in our ward
(which is different from the girls in my cabin
...although I did have three of my ward girls in my cabin
...which was FUN!)

The inside of the card
The other cabin mom and I signed our names under 'Your Cabin Queens'
I thought this might break the ice
 and let them know right away that we were there for them.

Here is their 'survival kit' that was placed with the card onto each of their pillows.

What birthday gift do you get for the guy who already has everything he wants
and doesn't want anymore STUFF?

Remember THIS?

Yeah, well, same story for his birthday this year as for last Christmas.
I had to get creative.

THANK HEAVENS FOR DAILY UPDATES FROM GROUPON!
As soon as I saw this I knew it was PERFECT!!!

I borrowed this picture from Unicorn Balloon Company, but all the rest are mine.  
I couldn't very well have take taken this, ja?!

Christmas Paper Craft Projects 2011 (and 2010)

Are we finished with Christmas yet?  
Nope!
I think Christmas should be celebrated year-round!  
Or at least for more than just a month!  hehe  ;)
(I promise only one more post after this about Christmas...til next year)

I love these little crafts aka GIFTS that we made this Christmas,
so of course, I'd love to share them with you.

These projects were constructed by me but 100% designed by Rachele!


2011 Christmas projects
Here's the sad thing about making these cute goodies at Rachele's......
I like 'em so much I fail to give them away.

Note to self:
Share these with friends next Christmas 
and spread the love!

Annual Ornament Exchange 2011

Please forgive me, but I'd like to post the rest of our Christmas goodies 
BEFORE I start telling you how excited I am about Valentine's Day!  lol 

Remember my friend Rachele that I've spoken of before?  
(We made paper gingerbread houses at her place last month) 
We have good times together and her/our projects are fun to make!
I also hope she starts blogging again, because she's good at it!
(RACHELE, ARE YOU READING THIS???)

Anyway, as part of the craft group that Rachele has organized, 
she has added an annual Christmas ornament exchange.

I am so grateful to be surrounded by such amazing (and crazy fun) crafty women!

I'll start with the ornament I made.  Believe me, it was a huge improvement over my ornament last year! hehe

Cowboy's 12 Months of Christmas

Remember back here when I mentioned I'd let you in on what I got Cowboy for Christmas?

He is SOOOOOO difficult to get gifts for because:

#1 - He doesn't want anyone to spend money on him.
#2 - He doesn't like 'stuff'.
#3 - He pretty much just wants to eat.....
#4 - ....and go places.
