We're Melting

Today is hot, very hot.  Our swamp cooler just brings in humidity in this heat and not actual cool air.  I had cooked to about medium-rare from sitting in our house, so I made a request to the husband that we leave our oven-like apartment.  We went to the best air conditioned place we know of, our little car. The thermometer read 91 degrees at 10pm, craziness.  (The high today was over 100.)  We meandered through the streets of SLC and ended up getting smoothies to cool off.  Not a bad evening.  And now, some stuff.

  • I really liked this article on the importance of scripture reading.  It takes an interesting psychological approach.  
  • This made me sad, but if the U of U can't take the heat of competition, so be it. (Danny does not approve of this bullet point, haha.)
  • My deep thought for the day...

    I liked the article on scripture reading; I hadn't thought to look for patterns, but I certainly have seen advantages for coming back to old notes and cross-references. I'm so grateful that teaching seminary for 14 years helped me establish a good habit of daily scripture reading. I can't imagine life without it.

Oh Crafty Trees, Oh Crafty Trees...

I've become a finals widow, if you will, meaning Danny is crazy busy trying to finish up the semester.  This has given me extra time to use my crafty skills to get our place Christmas ready.  My first creations were these little paper/foam trees.  I've seen a few variations online of this craft. I put my own little twist on it.  They are really easy to make, just takes some time. Here is what you need: Scrap paper Hot glue gun 1" Circle punch Foam cone (at most craft stores) Toothpicks Note:  You are going to go to the craft store to buy the little foam cone and you will see styrofoam glue and you will think to yourself that would be a good thing to buy for this project.  Don't!  I got the styrofoam glue and it didn't work at all.  Just go with your trusty glue gun, it won't let you down. I think it's pretty self-explanatory by looking at the picture.  You just punch circles out from the scrap paper.  Then hot glue th...

The End of the Road

By
There is a time when things fulfill their purpose and that is how I've been feeling with this blog of mine. When I started it, I needed my own little spot to share my thoughts and random stuff I found online. However, having two blogs has become excessive. It has been a good run (me and this little blog) and thanks for joining me. For now on, I will just be posting on my family blog . It's a private blog, but send me a message or a request if you would like to view it. Thanks to those who have taken the time to read my silly thoughts or look at pictures of my cute kiddo or some craft I made. It means a lot to me. Signing off, Jannifer

The Christmas Box

By
Remember how forever ago I said I would post a tutorial on how to fold these cute boxes.  Sigh, life is busy.  But I am here to fulfill my promise, even if it is a bit belated.  We had a Super Saturday at church with classes we could take.  My awesome friend, Becky, taught us how to create these, so I give her all the credit. What you need, paper, scissors, ruler pencil and some type of adhesive. 1.On the blank side of your paper draw an X from each corner, using a ruler. 2. Fold the bottom corner to the  center. 3. Fold the bottom corner one more  time up to the center. 4. Now you are  going to do the exact  two folds from steps 2 and 3 to the  opposing top corner, so your  paper will look like this. 5.  Unfold your paper and make the same folds to left and right corners that haven't been folded yet.  So once again, fold the point to the middle. 6.  Do a second fold to th...
