For that 'Special' Someone.

I found these 6x6 Tile covers on the Template Gallery and thought they would be perfect mom, sister, and neighbor gifts.

It was SO exciting to get them in the mail I had to quickly put them together.  So how do you put these beauty's together you ask!?  Simple! Publish your 12x12 Template page after you've made any changes to the template you like.  It will arrive like this:

Cut them down to 6x6 and use spray adhesive or modge podge to stick to tile!  Dress up with ribbons if desired.  Cost - Retail - $8.95/6x6 tile - For you to make = Approx $2/6x6 tile *wink

Enjoy the surprise of your 'Special' someone!

Sometimes an Idea Just Has to be Shared!

This idea and post came directly from The Heritage Makers Official Blog. It's so, so, good. Not mine... please note, someone brilliant named Sara posted this idea. I'm just reposting brilliance.

A canvas doesn’t have to be just a canvas. You can easily turn it into another creation—a bulletin board or a magnet board. Instructions for a bulletin board and magnet board are virtually the same. For our purposes (and because I like the idea of a magnet board better—no holes through the canvas), we are going to focus on a magnet board.

Items needed:

• A Canvas print (created at www.StoriesLastForever.com, if you like the one pictured, you'll find it the Template Gallery)!
• A magnetic metal sheet 1 1/2 inches smaller than the canvas on all sides
• Heavy-duty staple gun
• Duct tape

Instructions:
Create a canvas, any size (I suggest the bigger sizes—not an 8×8 or the 8×20). Put any design and any photographs you want. Then publish and order it. Once your completed canvas arrives, you continue with the next steps.

Place the metal sheet behind the canvas. (You can get a metal sheet from a home improvement store—you may have to cut it down to size—or from a metal supply shop.

Staple the metal sheet into the canvas frame as you would a picture in a picture frame. You’ll want make sure the staples are close enough to the canvas to secure the metal sheet in place, but far enough away so you don’t puncture the canvas.

Optional: instead of stapling the metal sheet into the frame, you can use a strong tape (such as duct or gorilla) to attach the metal to the back of the canvas, as shown below.

Once you’re finished, place the new magnet board on your wall. You now have a decorative and useful addition to your home!

Before I Was Your Mother...

So I've said it before and I'll say it again!!  I LOVE THIS BOOK!!  I have seen it in 2 of my gals  Starter Kits and I just CAN'T  wait to get started on  one of my own for me and mum!!  :o)  My kids love to hear stories of me as a child, especially the naughty ones! I remember asking my parents these same questions. 

 

Why do children delight in hearing about us before we were the mothers and fathers? 

 

Because it gives them a sense of belonging; a history of themselves. It is because of this I am  anxious to start working on this 8x8 storybook. Hardcover for durability and about $50 when all is published and delivered. (Not to mention that an 8x8 album IS the pick of the month product this month and YES if you are a CLUB Premier Member you get a HUGE Discount!)

Think of this. Mother's Day is coming and your children will spend hours working on a  gift for you. Why not spend just a little time making them something too? They can read it while you are off getting a manicure and then talk about it when you meet up for lunch!

Here are some excerpts from the book:

Simple to create, this project is a template in the Template Gallery at www.StoriesLastForever.com. You can do this, and I will help.
