HELP....

As you can see I have attempted to change my background, but not everything switched over and I cannot for the life of me get rid of the green on this page. I have tried on the layout page to change the colors but when I view blog it is still green.

What do I do?

Our New Callings

Well, yesterday in our new ward we were sustained to our new callings...

Kyle- Sunday School teacher to the 14 & 15 year old. He had 18 students in his class and already figured out who he will have to separate next week.

Cheryl- Activities Committee, a calling I have not yet had.

I'm just glad it is not Primary, and Kyle is glad his is not Elders Quorum.

How To- Etch Glass

Materials:

Armor Etch etching cream (not cheap)
Contact Paper
X-acto Knife
gloves
Q-tips


1. Cut contact paper to 8x11 size to fit in printer

2. On Word Document, use font and size you want and type up last name

3. Print document so that the ink is on the paper side of the contact paper

4. With X-acto knife, cut out last name (or whatever you choose to etch) to create a stencil. I found that doing this from the plastic side is MUCH easier than slicing from the paper side

5. Peel off paper and attach contact paper to bottom side of clean glass (name will appear backwards)

6. With gloves on, use a Q-tip to spread ethcing cream on stencil

7. Let stand for 10 minutes, then rinse off with warm water

Etching Craft Project

This past week I have busy etching my new last name into all of my glass casserole, pie and salad bowls that I received from the wedding. This way I will always (hopefully) get them back after a ward function or when I take food to a family in the ward.
