Necktie Redo: {Necktie Necklace}
I'm so excited to share my fun Necktie Necklace redo with you today. I've had this one in my head for like 6 months just needing the time to get it together. Now that it's been made let me tell you, it comes together really quick. So here's what you need: a man's necktie, beads (I used wooden ones I bought at Hobby Lobby), a sewing machine, and an un-picker. My husband had this really nice necktie that had a big stain on it.

Hey friends it's me, Kirsten again :). Recently on the LDS.ORG website, there was a talk by President Henry B. Eyring where he talked about "The Choice to Be Grateful." Â There's never been a better time than to talk about being grateful for the blessings we have. On and off throughout my life, I have kept a gratitude journal (that I have recently started again). It's a journal that stays by my bedside and each night or every couple nights, I write the date, then write 5-10 things in it that I … [Read more...] about What is a Gratitude Challenge?
