Blessed Thanksgiving Banner {Free Printable}

My wonderful, supportive sister asked me to make a Thanksgiving banner that was quick and easy to put together. So, I give you a quick and easy BLESSED Thanksgiving banner that is easy to put together:) It is a simple reminder that I really should have hanging more than one month out of the year.

To make your own banner, simply click the download button,

print at home or take to your favorite printer (OfficeMax, Staples, Kinko's, etc.),

Cut out each banner (easiest with a straight edge cutter)

Use a hole punch to punch a small hole at both top corners,

Tie ribbon or string to attach the banner together,

Hang and enjoy!

 Good ol' Martha Stewart gave me the idea to wrap twigs with yarn for a pop of color! 

The banner can also be hung with some twine and clothes pins which would make assembling this even easier. 

I hope you enjoy your new BLESSED Thanksgiving banner!

Yellow Striped Nursery ***UPDATE***

Well, my little man is almost 9 months old and I am finally done making the changes that have been nagging at me. Here is the BEFORE . . .

and the bright, happy AFTER!!! (Well, it was pretty bright before but now it is extra bright) My mother-in-law was getting rid of her white crib and I begged to have it. It took a year and a horse trailer to get it out here but it's here! :) The shelf was a $15 Craigslist find that I painted white.

I made the yarn mobile and you can find the tutorial for that HERE.

Another BEFORE . . . 

and AFTER

My Mom and I found these adorable tops at a vintage store in Old Market, Omaha. I LOVE them and my boys have a great time with them as well. The lamp was a Target find that I covered with fabric.

BEFORE

and AFTER

Not a huge change from the before. I just painted the changing table white, the yellow was too much with the yellow stripes and kelly green wall.

This is my lovely Anatomy alphabet from Oh Moon. 

These book ends are my Dad's actual baby shoes that are now bronzed. I will ALWAYS cherish them! (I really should have taken the time to dust them off before taking a picture. . .)

And this is my sweet little, 9 month old Lincoln wreaking havoc as usual. I love it! Here is to hoping that he doesn't crawl out of his crib in a few months like my other boys did. Hopefully this crib will keep him in there better than the other one!

Check your pockets {free laundry sign printable}

We have had a few too many mishaps lately . . . a whole load of laundry ruined by one little pen.

So, I hung a little basket to place those dang pens in and made a little sign to (hopefully) prevent these mishaps in the future. I had this fabulous frame from SHAPED EXPRESSIONS that was just perfect for our little reminder.

I also ALWAYS forget what clothes don't go in the dryer (i.e. husband's bike jersey . . .oops!) so I use my little chalkboard to remind me . . . it's a commom theme in my house that I need reminders for everything.

There are 2 size options for you:

3.5" x 3.5" or 5" x 7"

Simply click the download button below to get your free printable.

Enjoy!!! Stay tuned for a SPOOKY Halloween banner printable!!

September Visiting Teaching Message {free printable}

"The needs of others are ever present, and each of us can do something to help someone."

President Thomas S. Monson

The September visiting teaching message is yet another great reminder of the importance of serving those we visit teach. Even if it as simple as a phone call, e-mail, text, smile, sitting with them at church, etc. we can make a difference in their lives. I hope you enjoy this simple but great message from President Thomas S. Monson about losing ourselves in service.

As always, click the download button below to get your 5x7 print . . . and deliver to your sisters!
