The Crafting Continues!

I love this quote from Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf:

"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. . . .Creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty."





That sums me up! To stay true to that statement I bribed Abi and Max with blue ice cream from Maggie Moo's in order to get a little extra time to make these fun banners!




My dear friend, Katie, gave me the inspiration for these beauties. I cyper-stalk Katie on her blog to see what creative things she has done for her two cute kids, and the idea was hers. To top it off, Katie's sister is famous crafter, Heidi Swapp! Heidi has an awesome site, House of 3, offering these great monograms I used to make the banners. It was so much fun and so easy! You can bet you will be seeing all sorts of banners pop up at my house! The kids loved watching me put them together and were even more excited when the project turned out to be their names! Guess I didn't need the blue ice cream bribe...oh well, a little treat right before lunch never hurts anybody, especially a Rushton or a Cooper! So go for it! Create something cool today!
