I don't know why, but for some reason I'm finding it hard to believe that I am 35 today. It's not old. But it's not 25 either. I don't feel 35, but what does that feel like anyway? Well the nice thing about having a birthday in January, is if your resolutions for the new year don't pan out, you can start again at your birthday. I didn't make any resolutions for this new year, but if I did they would be something like this...

  1.  Tell my husband and baby I love them Everyday! Lots of hugs and kisses too! 
  2. Be grateful. Even when I don't like what is given... choose gratitude.
  3. Generosity of Spirit. Give from a place that is not selfish or self-seeking.
  4. Eat one plant based (vegan) meal a week. My gut will thank me. 
  5. Read, Craft, Blog,  Decorate,  Have Fun, Listen to Pandora, Be Silly, Bake Goodies,  Eat Yummy Food  Go the Thrift Store, Watch Movies,  Enjoy the Sun, Go Swimming, Be with Friends,  Cultivate Friendships Spend time with Family, Play with the Baby, Kiss the Husband... But above all else: Love God and Seek Him First.

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.
