Yay Bloggers!

By -
Last night my awesome party thrower cousin Kelly had her 4th Annual Gift Wrapping Party. It was a cozy group of really wonderful people. With lots of yummy treats and a plethora of wrapping materials. I brought a bunch of gifts to wrap but only wrapped two. Fact: I am the worlds worst gift wrapper. That is number 2 on my list of things i really stink at. #1 is math. Good thing I married a math teacher, and he is a really good gift wrapper to boot. SCORE.
Some of the people that were there I don't see very often, but I read all their blogs.
Conversation flows so freely because even though you haven't seen the person, you read about their lives. So you can ask them how their adoption is going, or their pregnancy or their job change.
They know things that are going on in your life too... it just makes it easy & fun.
In an age where technology, cell phones, email keep things impersonal, blogging really does bring people closer. Well I think so anyway.
Well blogger friends, keep blogging because I'll keep reading!

The key is to occasionally meet up for real!

I doubt that you are the worlds worst gift wrapper, because I have already claimed that title. Perhaps we should have a wrap battle.

So now with Christmas almost upon us, I wanted to take the last few days to make some Christmas Crafts. This weekend I spied this AWESOME clothespin wreath on Pinterest which lead me to  Hambly Screen Prints Blog . Not only is it a fantastic blog with fun projects, it's also an online store full of the coolest scrapbook\crafting supplies. If you haven't been to Hambly Screen Prints...  GO NOW ! The clothespin wreath was so fun and easy to make!  Supplies you need: Wooden clothespins scrapbook papers Washi tape (or decorative tape) You can buy washi tape at Hambly, Amazon.com, etsy, Michaels or most craft stores) Glue Thick cardboard for circle (or Michaels sells pre-made circle forms) Felt to cover cardboard (although I skipped that step) Decorate your clothespin however you like. Mine were a combination of scrapbook paper, decorative tape from Martha Stewart and glitter.  The longest part was cutting all the strips and gluing them on, but once they are done it&

A Book and A Giveaway

As I said I would be doing in my 7 Resolutions, I am reading a book a week. This past week I read the book Precious, based on the Novel Push by Sapphire. I'm sure most of you have heard about the movie based on the novel. The book club that I belong to is reading this book and now that I read it, I am going to give it away. The book was very eye opening, raw. You really don't want to believe that children have to live like this, that this is reality for many children\teens. Incest, rape, abuse, lack of education, lack of everything! I know this stuff happens, but you don't want to believe it. I work at a Middle School, and I look around and wonder what happens to some of these kids when they go home. My heart breaks. It's not an easy read by any means, but it will make you think and feel. If you would like this book just leave me a comment. I'll post a winner on Feb. 1.
