Neat Website

My co-worker showed me a cool website that you can upload your pictures and edit the settings to give them a more vintage look to them. I thought I would show some samples of what the website did. Just click on this link. I am going to start adding these effects to my blog for a little more detail.

This first pic is the original.

Church Sign

Jacob and I were out driving around when we drove past this sign at the local Baptist Church. I started laughing really hard. We pulled over and took a pic. What do you think?

To my husband

I woke up and made breakfast for Jacob.
I made delicious pancakes.
I am a sap I know.
I love my husband.

Valentine's Candy Jar

I help plan the crafts for my ward and the other ladies in my group thought this idea I found online of a candy jar looked great. I thought that it would be good if I tried it out so that the girls who want to make the craft have a physical idea of what we will make. It also gave me a fun little jar to have at my place.

First off, you need a jar of any size (mine is a pasta sauce jar, but you may use baby food jar, or a jam jar.) You wash it out and remove the label. Then, you decorate it with what ever you want. I cut out some different layers of paper and put them around the center of the jar kind of where the original label was. Next, I put a simple ribbon around the edge of the lid to cover the writing. I also cut out a circle to put on the top. I think it adds some of those finishing touches to the jar. The last thing to do is fill it full of candy.

My jar says "Hugs and Kisses." I made my label a bit big so there are two pictures so you may see all the decorations.
The hearts on the jar have one of those puff stickers so it give the jar a little shadow and dimension around the heart.This is the top of the jar.

Avatar

For President's Day, Jacob and I went out for a fun date night. We went out to eat and then saw Avatar in 3D. We had so much. I highly recommend the movie and if you can see it in 3D, do. Sorry the pictures aren't the best quality. We used Jacob's cell phone because I forgot to charge the camera.

The funny thing about these glasses is that they were huge... It was one size fits everyone. During the entire movie I had to keep pushing them up so they wouldn't slip off my nose. Oh yeah... the 3D glasses are very dorky looking and made us laugh.
