Th | design: The Flying Corndog.

One of Tyler's secret hobbies is that he loves to draw! He draws randomly sometimes on a napkin or a post it note. Last year he decided to put together a book about bullying. He just finished it!

"Bullying is a problem that affects nearly everyone at some point in their lives. Although we may not be able to completely stop bullying in schools, we can definitely strengthen our children from home. "Tot and the Bully Shield" provides young readers with tips on how to deal with this serious issue."

You can order a copy {here} or {here}!

Need a fun picture to color or for a birthday party or a card check out his site {here} or if you want a personalized picture drawn email him at ty@theflyingcorndog.com.

th | design: etching cream.

You'll need: Etching cream (I used Armour etch which you can find one from a craft store), retractable knife, contact or adhesive paper, and glass.

Here are the four easy steps on how to etch glass:

1. Trace out any designs on clear contact paper or print it out on adhesive paper.

2. Cut out the designs out with a retractable knife.

3. Stick them on the glass.

4. Put a thick amount of etching cream over it and let it sit for 5 minutes (if using Armour Etch). Then you wash it off with hot water all the way and you're done!

I loved it! I wanted to make more!

t | journal: old couples

This is a photo of President Gordon B. and Marjorie Hinckley who I love so much! Last Thursday was the day President Hinckley passed away 3 years ago and I never forget the wonderful example he set not only for myself but to the entire world.

"And so she will be mine and I will be hers through all the eternities to come."

~Gordon B. Hinckley

"In all of living have much fun and laughter. Life is to be enjoyed not just endured."

~Gordon B. Hinckley

"The only way to get through life is to laugh your way through it. You either have to laugh or cry. I prefer to laugh. Crying gives me a headache."

~Marjorie Pay Hinckley

"Old couples are so hard to find but when you do see them. . . they are beautiful and make you feel warm inside. They are like rainbows nowadays."

~T.B.
