Blessing Board

I think we all need to be reminded how blessed we are - everyday! This blessing board is a great idea to have in a visible place (like the dinner table or by the door we come in and out) so we can see and think about how many things for which we should be grateful - even if they are little things. This idea was thought of by Creative Itch!

Baby Blvd. and Accessory Avenue

I'd like to introduce you to a company that makes me squeal with happiness!

Welcome Baby Blvd and Accessory Avenue!

The home of functional, adorable and stylish scripture accessories.
.

While protecting your scriptures, these handmade scripture covers and totes will turn heads and lead to some "ooohing and aaaahing" amongst your friends. They make heartwarming gifts for anyone including yourself!

Here are some of my favorites.


This polkadot ruffly bag and CTR set would be loved by any girl after baptism or when entering Young Women's. There's nothing like feeling so cool and stylish around your peers.
.

Cute little hymnal covers are available to spice up plain books.

There are scripture covers with handles that would be so handy while toting around kids and other church supplies.

Some scripture covers come without handles. This fun bold material is all it needs to do it job (protect your scriptures and look stylish!)

And Baby Blvd hasn't forgotten about males! There are camoflauge covers for the boys (and outdoorsy-type females). A Perfect Gift for a boy!!!!

And, last but not least, everyone wants adorable flowery headbands with which to glam up! These tie in the back and have a removeable clip! I want one!

.

Any of these would make great affordable gifts for baptisms, birthdays, visiting teaching, Christmas, primary, entering Young Woman's, or for any other reasons.

These scripture accessories are made for sets of LDS quad scriptures, but can be requested in different sizes through email.

.

Visit Baby Blvd (the blog) and Baby Blvd on Etsy to see all the styles of fabric scripture covers and totes! Let Baby Blvd make gift giving and scripture toting easy and fashionable.
