You will have significant experiences. I hope you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

Grandma's Covers

When you were small.....and just a touch away,
I covered you with blankets against the cool night air.
But now that you are tall.....and have moved far away,
I fold my hands and cover you with my goodnight prayer.

GUMBALL FLOWERS

This fabulousness is from RUFFEL. You could make these for any HOLIDAY theme or PARTY


What you’ll need (per flower):
1 plastic balloon stick (I ordered mine from Oriental Trading)
1 clear elastic band or ribbon to match
7 small gumballs
1 large gumball
1 cellophane cut into circle shape (check the gift wrap section of your dollar store for cellophane gift wrap)

  Because gumballs like to roll, assembled them upside down to their tutorial...

1. Place the cellophane circle in a small, shallow bowl. Nope, a plate won't work, gumballs roll.

2. Place the large gumball in the center of the cellophane circle, then surround the gumball with the smaller gumballs.

3. Set the balloon stick cup on top, then gather the cellophane around gumballs and secure at base of the balloon stick with your clear elastic band or ribbon.

Ta-da!
