Gift Card Holder Tutorial I Found & Love

 

I use YouTube video tutorials a LOT! When I found this one, by one of my favorite video makers I decided it was perfect for what I needed. It seems all my friends have birthdays in a 3 week time frame. I am never quite sure what to get for some of them, so I went with gift cards. Well for this particular friend I wanted a cute gift card holder. So I searched through my favorite video makers and found this video @  Kwernerdesign. 

I of course did a few things a bit differently…. but here are photos of My finished project.

I also shared this posting on the Blog for a Design Team I am a member of.. SCF-DT !

My son, My Little Cook in the making

I am trying to make sure that my children are able to fend for themselves…. this includes making sure that my boys can cook more than just spaghetti, eggs, & tacos…. So just the other night I had my oldest son Norman (JR) help make dinner…. It was Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn…..

I missed the chance to take a picture of him mixing together the meat, eggs, bread crumbs, & seasonings for the meatloaf itself. But here he is using the Vidalia Chop Wizard to dice potatoes.  I sliced the potatoes, he chopped!

Here he is mixing the sauce for on top of the meatloaf, nothing fancy just ketchup, mustard, and brown sugar.

Here he is painting the meatloaf as he calls it!

And our finished product…….

He had a blast cooking with me, and has been asking when he can do it again.  I am thinking maybe tonight!

My Son, I am SOOO Proud!`

 

My son normally sports a buzz cut.  Well for some reason he decided he didn’t want that anymore, and his MeMom took him for a hair cut and he kept it a little longer on top for a while. Then he decided to let it all just grow out!! FINALLY a couple days ago he made a deal wiht his Momma(me) if I can have ice cream for a bed time snack, you can SHAVE my hair.  DEAL!! Well then I remembered an online friend Amber…. she shaved her hair for St Baldricks… they bring awareness to childhood cancer, adn help raise money for cancer research…. I told my son, He was so Impressed by a woman being brave enough to shave his head, that we decided to let his hair grown another month, and then He will shave his head at a St Baldricks event! So if anyone could share his link, or donate a Dollar, not only would you help sick kids, but you would help my son realize there are still good people in this world!!

This is my Norman with hair…. that second one was taken on Crazy Hair day at school!

A Crazy Little Thing Called Beading

View Full Album

I finally got a chance to play with my beading  supplies last week! And boy oh boy did it feel nice!  I made 5 sets of earrings… by #6 my finger tips were a little sore, and my eyes were going a bit wonky!!! So the 6th pair sits two-thirds finished…. just waiting on me to get a little time!  I also dug out some gorgeous charms and pendants I have purchased along the way!  I am so excited to play with them all again!!

Journaling Prompts Days 29 & 30

Day 29:  What is your favorite romantic movie or book?  Not big on Romance books But I will say The Twilight Saga, since I loved those books… and I’m not really into Romantic Movies either, so again I will go with The Twilight Saga…

Day 30:  When you were growing up,  were you responsible for chores?  What were they?  I had to make my bed, clean my room, helo dust or vacuum, and It was my job to clean the dog’s pen outside…
