2019 Yearly {1-page} Planner


The year is new and so are my goals...

I'm still working on my {new years resolutions}, but I know for sure that I want to be more organized with my home and my time.

{it's a work in progress... I take one day at a time}

Last year I made this 1-page planner and it helped a lot to remind me what I had coming up for the months ahead.

This planner also worked really well to plan activities and keep record so I know what we did last year. I can go back and evaluate, then decided what activities to plan again and the ones to leave out.

{Free} Snowflake Kisses


Winter can be wonderful… but it can also be long, slow and cold.
We are making the most of these intensely cold days at home with family and hot cocoa.
Despite the cold… winter is beautiful!

Chalk Paint {Tithing Jars}

Chalk paint is wonderful! It sticks and stays on just about every surface.
For the past 5
or so years,
I have been
keeping our
kids tithing
money in
individual
sandwich bags
in thetop of a
kitchen
cupboard,
until we
would take
them to church
and turn them
in. Tithing
is donation
money we
give to
our church.

{Easy} Snowflake Wreath


I love snowflakes! They are my favorite thing to decorate with in January.

After I saw a post online where ladies used snowflakes to make different crafts, I thought that I could make a wreath.

I had tons of snowflakes collected from previous years decorating for Christmas so I didn’t have to buy anything for this project.

Supplies used: snowflakes, hot glue gun, and some wax paper.

(Tip: the wax paper did not work very well... the hot glue stuck to the wax paper and it was difficult to pull it off without tearing the wax paper and the paper stuck to the back of the wreath. So maybe parchment paper would be better.)


After gathering my supply of snowflakes... I had a variety of different ones... I started laying out the inner circle. I arrange them overlapping the edges and alternating different designs so I didn’t have two of the same snowflake next which other.

Once I got my first row arranged, I glued it all together with the hot glue gun.

I did the same thing on the second row... I arranged the snowflakes and once I liked the layout then I glued them together with a glue gun.

I love using the glue gun because it dries so fast and as soon as I was done I could hang it up on my front door. It was really simple to make but it was more time-consuming than I thought it would be. So if you’re thinking of making a snowflake project plan for a little bit of time.


Happy crafting!
