{Crafts for Japan Relief}

I have been meaning to post these pictures for about a month now. Sorry I have been so slow.

So the story behind these is: my sister Kelsey and her friends in Chicago decided they wanted to help send relief to Japan. They came up with the idea of hosting a craft bazaar fundraiser. I was asked to help share my talents and be apart of this wonderful event. So I hosted a craft night at my house and had all of my friends here in Atlanta come and help me make necklaces, bows, broaches, and headbands. We were able to accomplish a lot and have a fun girls night. I love to craft and I love being able to share my talents by teaching them to others.

Here are some of our creations

 {Bows} 

 Great for headbands or hair

Ryker will love me for this picture someday OK maybe his future wife will love me for it. This picture will be a perfect one on his wedding video! hahah!!! But at least we know now that we will make cute little girls if they look anything like Ryker.

This was my favorite bow that I created. I love the fresh watermelon look. Perfect for summer. 

 {Broaches & Headbands}

Broaches are prefect to clip on your shirt, cardigan or bag.

{Necklaces}

Fun way to dress up a simple t-shirt and jeans. 

{Little Girl Necklaces}

My nieces LOVE these!

I am so happy that the fundraiser was a HUGE success they raised $3,700 to send to Japan. I love serving others and I feel like my life was truly blessed by being apart of this event.

Recently Brady and I were talking about what our talents are. This got me thinking what are my talents? This is what I came up with: being a good friend, cooking, and crafting. To some these may not sound like talents because they do not involve singing or playing an instrument but these are the thing My Heavenly Father has blessed me at being good at. Brady then said OK what are my talents? I think a few of Brady's talents are: being patient {something I am not}, always putting others first, playing sports- he is AMAZING {at every sport even if it is his first time playing}, Brady can cheer anyone up and make them laugh, and he has killer dance moves. 

What are your talents? Do you use them? Do you share them with others?
