Advent Calendar

I created this advent calendar for the Super-Saturday activity that my LDS ward puts on every year. I think it turned out really cute, I was kind of bummed out that it took everyone the entire time to put it together. I tried really hard to make it as easy as possible for them to put together. I cut out all of the paper, stamped everything, and put them in little packets. It took me an entire week to get all of that done. With all that work, only a few of them that started this project first got it done. I have a group of ladies that still need to make theirs. I will be doing an extra class for those that didn't get finished. But I thought you would all love to see my project.

FYI - This is how you make it... Take a mini muffin tin, several sheets of cardstock and various trinkets, brads, ribbon, buttons, glue, 8 feet of magnets and throw them all together... and VOILA! Oh and just so you know I am painting my tin black. When you are finished you can put treats, spiritual thoughts, reference to a story book to read, pretty much anything you can think of that will fit in that little space for that day.

Isn't it CUTE?!

Playing with designs

I have been playing with this blog for a while. I have been playing with different gadgets, adding music and trying to get a fun look. Let me know which one has been your favorite. I have had about 4 or 5 different looks. ranging from supper gaggy pink to more boy friendly reds and blues to the current purple diamonds. But I will probably keep changing it. Just like to know what everyone else thinks.

I love comments from everyone that reads or views or secretly stocks my site. I guess if you want to remain secret then I can respect that but I love to hear from everyone even if it is just a "Hey" or "I am stocking you" or "This chick is off her rocker!"

Please talk to me I get lonely!!!

Tag, tag, and more tags to come...

Ok, I am still a slacker. But thanks to my friend Judy, I am able to atleast do something. She tagged me (my first official tag) and I figured it looked like fun so here it goes.

Here's how this one works: For each question, look up the answer on Google image search. Then choose your favorite image from the FIRST PAGE OF RESULTS ONLY. I've tagged Four people below... and I'll be watching for your posts!

Yikes, I want to note that you should make sure you have your Google SafeSearch set to Strict. I didn't have that when I searched my name and there were some very inappropriate things that came into view. I quickly fixed that, but to save you eyes, I am giving you a warning.
