Washer Pendant Necklaces...

I have seen these necklaces all over the blog world and we thought it would be fun to make our own. So I went looking for instructions and found a great one here. Soon after we headed to the craft store for the acrylic and to the garage for the washers. It's amazing, the things you can find in the garage to make craft items out of - Who would have thought.

Anyway, here is our version. I actually ended up taking it one step further and made them double sided. How fun is that to have a reversible necklace?

Back To School

Well it's back to the books for us. School started this past Thursday-the 12th. Sierra started her junior year at the high school. Jake and Alexis headed off to the middle school this year for 6gth grade. It's their first year there. They were pretty excited about the change this year. It means they get to ride the bus.

Here are Alexis and Jake on the first day. Sierra leaves too early, so we didn't get one of her. Early morning seminary can be a killer you know (according to her).
